My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 972
Melody turned her head slightly to look at the photo, and she suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself.
The woman in the photo had an ethereal air about her.
All of a sudden, she found herself at a loss for words as to how to
describe Ruby.
If she really had to describe her, it would be that she seemed
unsullied and angelic.
Felicity returned the photo to Jean. âWhoâs the lady making faces in the photo, Madam Windsor? She looks so dumb!â
Jean said awkwardly, âThatâs me!â
Felicity was stunned. âNo way, she looks completely different from you. You seem so regal and elegant, while the lady seems to be more of the bubbly and cute kind!â
Jean stared at her younger self in the photo and said dolefully,â
People change!â
Felicity guessed that Jeanâs personality must have undergone such a massive change because of how hard Rubyâs death had hit her.
Jean took another photo from her wallet and handed it to Nash.â Youâre my best friendâs son, and you also rid Sagen of Dominic. Giving you money seems rather debased, so I thought I could gift you this photo instead. I hope youâll like it!â

Tears brimmed in Nashâs eyes after he took the photo and looked at
It was a photo of Ruby, whose hands were placed gently on her
swollen belly. Her eyes were full of love and adoration as if the child she was carrying were her entire world.
âThank you⦠This is the most valuable gift Iâve ever received in my
life!â
Nashâs eyes turned moist.
For as long as he could remember, he had been practicing cultivation on Tili Mountain alongside his master. He had never experienced any
sort of parental love.
The photo he held was filled with maternal love for him.
âBack when I took this photo of Ruby, she held my hand and told me,â
Jeanie, be my babyâs godmother after heâs born. You need to love my baby too!ââ
Tears appeared in Jeanâs eyes when she recalled the time she a
Ruby had climbed Divinity Mountain together. It was the last time s
had ever seen Ruby.
Nash got up and knelt before Jean. âPlease take me in as your godson, respected godmother!â
Jean hurriedly pulled Nash to his feet. âSilly child, a man should not grovel or bow down before others. How could you fall to your knees without a second thought?â
Nash smiled. âMen should kneel before the heavens and their

parents. Youâre my godmother, which makes you my mother by proxy. Nothing wrong with me kneeling before my mother!â

Jean wiped her tears dry. âThereâs nothing much I want. All I hope is
that you can drop by and visit me whenever you have some spare
time in the future!â
Nash nodded. âMy grandfather is in Sagen too. Iâll definitely drop by
and visit whenever I have time!â
Jean chuckled and glanced at Melody as she asked, âIs she your
girlfriend?â
Nash laughed ruefully. âSheâs just a friend!â
He always went everywhere with Melody, so it was not odd everyone
else always assumed she was his girlfriend.
Jean was stunned. âIs there anyone youâre interested in? Do you need
me to pull any strings?â
âNash is already married!â
Felicity grinned as she spoke.
Jean said, âBring your wife along so I can get a good look at her th
next time youâre in Sagen!â
Then, she sat back down on the couch and said dazedly, âTime
passes so quickly. Ruby is going to be a grandmother soon!â
âGodmo, can you go on a walk with me?â Nash had a sudden urge to
learn more about his godmother and father.
âAlright!â

Jean regained control over her emotions and went on a walk in the nearby park with Nash.
