My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1669

When he thought about the sacred and inviolable aura radiating from Lana earlier, he felt a chill in his heart.

"Mmm..." Lana turned over, her thick eyelashes trembling slightly before she slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

Realizing she was in the illusion array and that Nash was sitting beside her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Blinking her gentle, watery eyes, she said softly, "Mr. Calcraft, I helped you out big time this time!"

"Yeah, do you want me to marry you in return?" Nash teased.

Lana's cheeks flushed as scenes of Nash holding her and rolling on the ground to evade the wolves' attacks flashed through her mind. He got poisoned after that, and she had to suck out the venom with her mouth. She even used her bra to fetch water and feed him.

Having never been so close to a man before, she had broken her own rules multiple times today. If she were to marry someone else, she would probably find it hard to forget this man.

While Lana was lost in her thoughts, Nash got up and sat down beside her. Staring into her eyes, he slowly reached out to touch her cheek.

Lana's heart pounded. She closed her eyes and got ready to be taken.

At the end of the day, Lana had feelings for Nash. She had investigated him to understand him even before she met him.

Nash's heroic deeds like slaying The Swordsman and defeating the ghoul overlord had impressed her. After deducing that Nash was a member of the Young family, however, she had suffered a long period of inner turmoil and conflict.

The Jackson family had once betrayed the Yong family, and Nash was bound to avenge them.

After experiencing the Emperor's Aura that Nash exuded, her unease grew stronger. She thought about using herself to ensure the safety of the Jackson family.

However, at that time, Nash despised her and did not even consider her body worthy. He made her a slave, and for the sake of her family's safety, she agreed.

She did not understand why Nash later changed his mind. Could it be that he actually liked her?

Lana lowered her head. "Isn't the man the one who’s supposed to take the initiative?" She had never been in a relationship and still had her first kiss. Now, he wanted her to take the lead? Was he even a man?

Nash did not know whether to laugh or cry in this situation. He explained, "Something is protecting you. I don’t dare make a move on you.”

Lana recalled the person in a dream telling her to maintain her purity. Could they be behind this power?

"Then close your eyes,” Lana whispered almost inaudibly.

Nash closed his eyes and reminded her, "If I feel uncomfortable and tell you to stop, you must... Mhm..."

Lana leaned in and kissed him, cutting off his words.
