My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 820

Yana had to attend to the children and could not guide Felicity. Instead, she got one of the neighbor's children to lead Felicity to Jaxon.

The child led Felicity to a forest behind the village. The forest floor was covered with dry yellow leaves that looked like a carpet. After traversing through the forest, they finally arrived at a small wooden house. In front of the house was a small stream, with fields and mountains on the other side.

"Mr. Jaxon lives in the wooden house ahead. He should be meditating and practicing by the stream now. Pretty lady, please don't disturb Mr. Jaxon!" the little boy reminded her.

Felicity smiled and nodded. "Do I look like someone so rude?”

The little boy chuckled. "I'll go back for lunch first!"

"Sure. Thank you, little friend!"

"No need to be polite!"

The little boy bounced away. Felicity walked gracefully around the wooden house and reached the front. The crystal-clear stream flowed gently. On a large stone next to it was Jaxon, who was once again dressed in white. He was meditating on a cushion.

Felicity approached him with light steps and crouched down to look at his profile.

Jaxon had fair and delicate skin, a straight nose, a face like carved marble, and thin lips that were slightly pursed. The contours of his side profile were pleasing to the eye.

She had not been able to take a good look at him last night because it had been dark. Now, seeing his handsome face, her heartbeat quickened a bit.

The priest was even more charming than that handsome father she knew.

"You have come. For what purpose?" Jaxon's thin lips slightly parted.

Felicity smiled charmingly and replied, "You saved me yesterday, so I've come to thank you!"

Eyes still closed, Jaxon simply said, "All phenomena arise from conditions, all connected by fate."

Felicity playfully said, "Are you saying we have a destined connection?"

Jaxon slowly opened his clear and bright eyes. He gazed at the distant mountains. Lips parting slightly, he said, "Due to fate and circumstances, one’s coming together and parting is destined by heaven in its mysterious workings.”

Felicity pouted. "Can't you say something I can understand?"

Jaxon's thin lips trembled, and his eyes reddened.

"All phenomena arise from conditions, and when these conditions cease, they fade. We will meet again when the time is right."

The old priest smiled faintly and walked away into the distance.

"Master, don't leave..."

Jaxon stood up and reached out to his master, but the old man had disappeared without a trace as if he had never been there.

"Hey, Mr. Jaxon..."

Felicity had turned back then and asked, "Do you have any money? Could you lend me some for a taxi?"

With her belongings and car destroyed, she was practically penniless now—except for the Eight-Part Scepter.

She noticed Jaxon’s red eyes and curiously asked, "Are you... crying?"
