My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2177

Despite his reservations, Nash still took Hera to the fried chicken shop.

"Welcome, what would you like? There's a menu on the side..." The lady squinted, scrutinizing Hera from head to toe.

"Is that you?"

"It's me, ma'am. It's Rara!"

"Rara, it's really you!" The lady walked over excitedly, wiping her hands. Hera stepped forward to hold the lady's hands.

"Long time no see, ma'am."

"Long time no see. Long time no see, indeed. Oh my, Rara, you've become so beautiful." Then, the lady noticed Nash standing beside her.

"And this is..."

"This is my husband," Hera announced proudly.

The surrounding customers all turned to look at Hera.

The lady gave Nash a pleased look, her eyes full of joy. Even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened along with her smile.

"Oh my, he's so handsome. Come, come, sit down."

Nash smiled back and nodded.

The lady guided the two to a seat. Seeing Hera's pregnant belly, she carefully helped her sit down and then asked kindly, "Our fried chicken can be heavy with salt and spice, Rara. You..."

"Hehe, I just have a craving. It'll be fine. Just don't add anything too spicy."

The lady nodded and went to place their order. As she headed to the kitchen, Nash looked at the familiar way Hera interacted and teased, "I didn't expect this."

Then, she noticed Nash's amused smile across the table.

She pouted, turning her head shyly. "Stop... Don't laugh at me."

"What? How could I laugh at you?" Nash took a napkin and gently wiped Hera's mouth.

"Alright then." Hera handed a fried sausage to Nash. "Just... stop staring at me. You eat too."

"Haha. Alright, alright." Nash took the sausage.

The two of them spent the time chatting and bantering. As other customers passed by, they could not help but envy the couple's sweetness.

With the warm light above and the steamy little shop, Nash felt incredibly at peace.
