My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 805

"That's weird. Where could she have gone?" Skadi muttered. She then pushed open the door to the master bedroom and noticed the bulging blanket on the bed. Worried, she walked over and said with concern, "Hera, I heard you're not feeling well..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she caught a strange, pungent smell in the air. "What's that smell?"

Skadi sniffed and fanned the air as she walked closer.

Hera opened her sleepy eyes when she saw Skadi before closing them lazily again. Suddenly, her brows furrowed as she abruptly opened her eyes again. "Skadi.. how did you... get in?"

She covered herself up to the neck with the blanket quickly, not wanting Skadi to see any lingering traces of the intimacy she and Nash had shared.

Noticing the redness of Hera’s face, Skadi reached out and touched her forehead. "Are you running a fever?"

Hera shook her head. "N-No, not at all!"

Skadi nodded, her expression relaxing. Seeing that Skadi was short of inspecting her bedding, Hera breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Skadi suddenly bent down and lifted the blanket. "Hey—”

"Ah! What are you doing?!" Hera screamed and yanked the blanket back. Her face turned even redder.

The scene before Skadi was stark. Was that… blood on the blanket?

Recalling the smell just now, realization dawned on Skadi. "So, you and Nash..."

Hera's head shrank into the blanket as she complained, "Why are you so annoying? Get out, I need to get dressed!"

Skadi crouched down curiously and asked, "How was it? Did it feel good?"

"Why, you little… Get out!" Hera blushed as she yelled shyly.

Skadi roared with laughter. "Alright, alright. I'll wait for you outside!"

She left the room as soon as she finished speaking.

Hera bit her lip and climbed out of bed before slowly making her way into the bathroom for a shower. In the bathroom, she looked at the bruises and marks on her body with a smile. Finally, she felt like a woman.

She even hesitated to wash away the scent Nash had left on her. However, she felt very uncomfortable after sweating so much last night.

Hera chuckled. "Father Cillian is, after all, the head of Quiet Winds Church. It’s a place for self-cultivation, and as the head, he naturally has to lead by example by abandoning worldly desires and focusing on practicing the Path!"

Skadi sighed softly. "Do you think I'll never get married? Just when I finally started feeling something, the Smiling Grim Reaper turned out to be your man while the second man I admire is just so ascetic. I want a simple and straightforward love. Why is it so difficult?"

Her grandfather often said she would not find a husband if she did not change her personality. She was from a martial arts family. Just how restrained could she be?

"Sometimes, it's fate and you just have to accept it. Don't force it when it's not your fate!"

Hera comforted Skadi, saying, "When the time is right, your other half will appear, just like how Nash appeared in my life!"

Skadi sighed. "I hope so!"

The two continued chatting as they walked downstairs. When they reached downstairs, Bianca stood up, smiled, and greeted, "Hera..."

When she noticed Skadi supporting Hera, Bianca became nervous and asked, "Are you sick?"

Skadi chuckled. "She's not sick at all. Nash just gave her some thorough lovin'.”
