Substitutee Marriage: Fallingg For My Ugly Wifee
After departing from the Fairclough family residence, Nancy felt despondent and resolved to find a way
to prevent the release of Millieâs work.
In the midst of this, a call arrived from Humphrey, the man who held her affections most dearly.
âNancy, where are you? Iâd like to take you to meet someone,â he said.
âWho is it?â she inquired, a frown marring her face. Her current disposition left her in no mood for
pleasant conversation, causing her tone to sound curt toward Humphrey.
âYouâll find out when you meet them. Share your address, and Iâll be there to fetch you shortly,â
Humphrey responded vaguely.
Though not entirely thrilled, Nancy yielded and provided him her address. She then settled onto a
nearby bench, awaiting his arrival.
In due course, Humphrey materialized and ushered Nancy to Skyline. He then guided her into a private
room.
When they entered a private room, the pair of attentive waiters dutifully swung open the door. Seated
there was a man, dressed immaculately in a light brown suit, exuding an air of nobility and detachment.
Nancy couldnât help but notice a subtle resemblance between Humphrey and this man, though his
features were more chiseled, giving him an air of sophistication and aloofness that set him apart from
the younger Humphrey.
âRyan, youâve arrived,â Humphrey declared, his grip on Nancyâs hand betraying a hint of vulnerability.
Observing Humphrey, she noted his atypical fragility in the presence of this enigmatic man.
Who could this person be?
Humphrey cleared his throat with intention, prompting his introduction.

âAllow me to introduce my brother, Ryan. And Nancy, this is Ryan. Sheâs an immensely talented jewelry
designer.â
He beamed with so much pride as he made the introductions.
He then gallantly drew out a chair for Nancy, gesturing for her to take a seat. She sat down, still feeling
puzzled by the situation.
This enigmatic man before her was Ryan, the figure who had remained elusive to the Morgan family for
years. It was surprising to Nancy that he still existed.
In light of his composed demeanor, Nancy deduced that Ryan was not only shrouded in mystery but
also harbored a shrewdness that far surpassed the ordinary man.
Ryan gave her a nod as a greeting.
A few days earlier, Humphrey had implored Ryan to set aside a time for a significant meeting with
someone of importance.
Soon, the trio settled into their chairs. Though Ryanâs countenance remained frigid, it did little to
diminish the aura of leadership he exuded.
Nancy quirked her lips, her gaze shifting between Humphrey and Ryan.
âRyan, have you managed to identify the suitable candidate for the role of Chief Jewelry Designer
within the company?â
Not too long ago, Humphrey had secured a share in D.S. Jewelry.
