Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 978 - 974: Are You Inviting Uncle?

"Hey, third brother, you find someone yourself; I’m not interested in women!" Evander Lancaster also pushed his cards out. Across from him, Sophie Foster was as curious as if she’d discovered a new continent. "Uncle Lancaster, if you’re not interested in women, do you like men?"

Sophie Foster winked at Evander Lancaster, leaning slightly over the card table, "Are you the top or the bottom?"

Evander Lancaster...

"Little Sophie, if Uncle Lancaster were gay, which do you think he would be?"

Sophie leaned over the table, giving Evander Lancaster a once-over before offering her conclusion, "Uncle Lancaster, although you are quite handsome, you don’t have Nicholas’ commanding presence. If you were gay, I think you’d be the bottom. Only a man like Uncle Nicholas, who’s so commanding, could be the top,"

"You little rascal, what nonsense do you have in your head!" Nicholas Croft raised a hand to ruffle Sophie Foster’s hair, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation. How did the topic suddenly include him, as if there was something going on between him and his younger brother?

"Hehe..." Sophie Foster looked up with a sweet smile at Nicholas Croft and said flatteringly, "Uncle Nicholas, Lara is just complimenting how tall and impressive you are."

"Hmm, no need for compliments; as long as you know," Nicholas Croft replied smugly, then picked Sophie Foster up. "Let’s go!"

Watching the two walk out of the private room, Felix Shaw sighed with a pout, "I always thought second brother had peculiar tastes, liking forbidden love. I didn’t expect eldest brother is the same, liking such little enchantresses not yet fully grown!"

As Felix Shaw finished speaking, Nathan Moore shot him a sharp side-eye, gave him a cold glance, got up, and walked out of the room with his coat.

Felix Shaw licked his lips pensively and turned to Evander Lancaster. "Evander, how come I’ve never seen you with a woman? Could it be you’re really into guys, like Sophie said?"

Evander Lancaster looked down, exhaled a stream of smoke, and said nonchalantly, "What’s so great about women? They always claim they love you deeply but end up betraying you just the same."

Felix Shaw’s gaze turned playful, and he asked with a half-smile, "What, you got cheated on? When did that happen? How come we never heard of it?"

"I was just speaking hypothetically; it never happened!" Evander Lancaster also stood up and said, "Let’s head out; everyone’s leaving anyway, no point hanging around just the two of us."

...

At the Shang Mu Club, being taken directly to an upstairs guest room by Nicholas Croft, Sophie Foster felt a bit down.

Seeing Nicholas Croft take a nearly full bottle of red wine off the rack, Sophie Foster curiously asked, "Uncle Nicholas, do you stay here often?"

"Sometimes if the night’s been long, I just spend the night here," Nicholas Croft said, walking toward the sofa, one hand holding the wine bottle and the other two wine glasses. After sitting down, he said, "Go take a shower; I don’t want to taste cheap lipstick again."

Puffing her cheeks and watching the man intently pour wine, Sophie Foster hesitated a moment before suggesting, "Uncle Nicholas, I want to shower with you..."

Nicholas Croft raised his eyes, giving Sophie Foster a knowingly amused look. "Lara, are you inviting Uncle?"

Sophie Foster bit her lip and nodded, "Yes."

"Little enchantress!" Nicholas Croft put down the wine bottle and stood up, pecked her lips, and lifted her, heading for the bathroom with large strides.

He worried that she might be shy and didn’t make any excessive demands, hoping to give her some time to acclimate. Who knew this little enchantress was so eager.
