My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 1883

"Hera, what are you doing?" Tatiana put her hands on her hips, looking displeased. "I just took a phone call and you're already seated?"

"The food here smells too good..." Hera grinned.

"It's all just chemicals with added flavors to make it smell great, you know," Tatiana said in annoyance.

Hera chuckled. "Come on, I'm not that delicate. My mom ate everything when she was pregnant with me!"

Tatiana sighed. "Alright, just don't eat too much. This stall's tacos are not bad."

"Sit down and have some with me," Hera said happily, pulling Tatiana to sit beside her.

In less than five minutes, Lucille arrived.

"Tati, Hera..." Lucille was carrying a limited edition Chanel bag, and she sat directly across from them.

"Hi!" Hera greeted with a smile.

Tatiana had introduced Lucille to her at Anton's funeral, so they were not strangers.

Tatiana glanced at Lucille and noticed her red, swollen eyes. She immediately frowned and asked, "Lucille, did someone bully you?"

"Not at all," Lucille said, lowering her eyes and shaking her head.

Tatiana grabbed Lucille's hand and said, "How long have we known each other? You know you can't fool me."

Hera chimed in, "Yeah, Lucille. Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll help you get back at them!"

At that moment, the stall owner brought over the tacos. Lucille sniffed and looked at the owner, saying, "Miss, could you give us three vanilla milkshakes too, please?"

Tatiana twitched a smile.

Lucille sniffed, put on gloves, and grabbed a taco as well.

Tatiana said irritatedly, "Can you focus on the issue? I'm worried about you, and you're still thinking about eating!"

Hera laughed. "Don't worry. We can talk while we eat!"

Tatiana felt helpless, so she put on disposable gloves and started munching on nachos as well.

Halfway through eating, Lucille continued, "They arranged for me to marry the eldest son of the Falstaffs in Austenford. I heard he's a martial artist, a prodigy in Austenford's martial arts world at that. He even belongs to a reclusive sect!"

Lucille understood the power of reclusive sects very well.

The once-declining Array Sect was divided into three expert array families.

Each of these families was comparable to the Ten Families in Capiton. Hence, a complete sect was infinitely more terrifying than the Ten Families.
