My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 838

Skadi was surprised too.

She had always followed Quiet Winds Church’s TikTok account, but she had never seen a female Path taker in the church.

Some people even asked whether Quiet Winds Church accepted female students, to which Cillian replied that they only accepted male students.

The kid looked at Skadi timidly and said, “You can’t tell Master that I’m a girl…”

Skadi felt like her heart was about to melt, so she said quickly, “I won’t, I won’t… I will never tell him… I’ll keep it a secret!”

Bianca helped the little girl dry her hair and asked, “Kiddo, what’s your name, and who’s your master?”

The little girl said softly, “I don’t have a name, but my Path name is Yoyo… My master is Father Lloyd. He said that I have to address Father Cillian as Master Cillian…”

Skadi was startled as she was reminded of the scene where Lloyd’s heart was taken out by Herman.

Her stomach was churning.

She suppressed the discomfort and gently caressed Yoyo’s head.

Yoyo looked up and asked, “Miss, when will we go back to find Master?”

She was barely five years old, so she had no idea what happened in the mountains.

Skadi looked at Yoyo’s innocent eyes. She could not bear to lie to her, but she also dared not tell the truth. After a moment of silence, she said gently, “Your master has gone to a faraway place, so you won’t be able to find him for the time being.”

The light in Yoyo’s innocent eyes disappeared. She lowered her head and said sadly, “Master would always tell me before he went down the mountain. Does he not love me anymore?”

Skadi kneeled and hugged Yoyo in her arms. She said softly, “No, your master will always love you. From now on, I will love you too!”

Yoyo pressed her lips together and nodded. “In that case, I’ll be the apple of your eye from now on!”

Just then, Cillian coughed and opened his eyes. His deep pupils had long lost their brilliance.

“Cillian…”

Skadi walked over nervously and was pained when she saw Cillian's pale face.

Cillian turned his head slowly to look at the people in the living room. When he saw Skadi, the knit in his eyebrows loosened up.

Skadi said, “No, I want to stay and take care of him!”

Eric smiled and asked, “Do you know how old he is?”

He could tell that Skadi had feelings for Cillian.

Judging from Cillian’s appearance and bone age, he looked like he was in his 60s, while Skadi was clearly in her early 20s.

With their age difference, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a grandparent and grandchild relationship.

Skadi said proudly, “It’s none of your business!”

Eric sneered. “What did you say about me the other day?”

“I…”

Skadi was speechless.
