My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1640

The Fisher family stood up with glasses in their hands.

This was exactly the kind of thing Nash found to be troublesome. There were way too many restrictions, and he felt helpless. He stood up with his glass and said politely, “My apologies for coming uninvited and causing trouble to everyone! Thank you for your hospitality!”

After chugging down a glass, everyone slowly sat down.

Tatum could sense that Nash was not fond of such occasions, so he stopped toasting him altogether. Instead, everyone started to dig in.

"Well… I have something to say!" Maverick suddenly spoke, immediately attracting the attention of the whole table.

Tatum's expression darkened. “Can’t it wait until lunch is over? Don’t you realize that you’re disturbing Mr. Calcraft’s meal?”

Maverick shrank his neck in embarrassment. "Then... let's talk about it after lunch!"

Nash smiled and said, “Go ahead. We’re just having a meal, so it’s not a disturbance.”

Tatum's expression softened a little. “Well, go ahead, then!”

Maverick stood up and said, "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to introduce my girlfriend to everyone."

Reyrena choked on her drink.

What?

Girlfriend?

Could he be referring to her?

Bah!

‘Reyrena, what nonsense are you thinking? Have you been reading too many romance novels?’ Reyrena thought to herself.

"Girlfriend?"

Francel put down his cutlery and chuckled. "When did you start dating someone?"

"Maverick, has your first love returned to the country?" a pretty woman asked in surprise.

Reyrena continued drinking her soup with her head down. Sure enough, she had thought too much. It was not like she did not know Maverick's status. He was the Northwest Prince!

Her heart pounded, and her brain was about to shut down.

"Rena, stand up quickly!" Gemma reminded her in a low voice.

"My... My legs have gone limp!"

Reyrena wanted to stand up too, but her legs had gone weak, and she could not control them. She was almost scared out of her wits.

Maverick walked up to Reyrena and suddenly knelt on one knee.

"Reyrena, I never believed in love at first sight before, but after seeing you, I believe it. Although we've only just met, I've fallen in love with you!

"Today, in front of my whole family and with Nash as a witness, I promise you a lifetime of happiness if you choose to marry me!"

Maverick's voice was resolute, and his dark eyes gleamed with deep affection.

The members of the Fisher family felt as if the sky were falling.

Who on earth was this woman?
