My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 921

Nash's certainty was just part of his self-confidence.

He was still unsure of himself when he challenged The Swordsman.

Yet, he had no choice but to issue the challenge.

One reason was to fulfill the promise he had made to Grant.

The other reason was to stabilize the Duerson family’s position.

Hera lowered her head to wipe her tears dry, her voice sounding choked up as she said, “I just can’t imagine how I’m going to live if anything were to happen to you!”

Hera put on a pair of slippers that were adorably designed to look like pandas and filled two cups with warm water. She handed one to Nash. Then, she sat beside him and chuckled. “Are you very tired?”

Nash downed the warm water in one go before saying, “Yes, but I’m also very happy!”
