Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 980 - 976: They’ve Only Just Begun, but She’s Already Thinking About the End

When Nicholas Croft suddenly recalled the first time he was forcibly kissed, he furrowed his brows and asked seriously, "Lara, who were those two men? Why did they grab you?"

"Them..." Meeting Nicholas Croft’s serious gaze, Sophie Foster’s eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled, "They were collecting debts for the creditor. I had borrowed some money before and couldn’t pay it back on time..."

"And now? Do you still owe anyone money? Uncle can help you pay."

"No," Sophie Foster shook her head with a smile, "Lara is very frugal. That money was borrowed when mom was sick, but it’s all paid off now."

"Lara," Nicholas Croft looked at Sophie Foster with a serious expression, "Promise Uncle, tell Uncle first if anything happens. Uncle will help you sort it out."

Sophie Foster pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay." She then actively circled Nicholas Croft’s neck and pressed her face against his chest, saying, "Uncle, why are you so good to Lara? What if one day you don’t want Lara anymore?" Sophie paused for a moment and said sadly, "Lara would be reluctant to let go."

"Silly girl, Uncle won’t abandon you." Nicholas Croft gently stroked her long hair, with his handsome face against Sophie Foster’s hair top, and sighed. This little one was really insecure, they had just begun, yet she was already thinking about the ending.

"Really?" Sophie Foster suddenly raised her head and asked seriously, meeting Nicholas Croft’s gaze.

"Really," Nicholas Croft tousled her hair top, "Lara is so adorable, and fits so well with Uncle. How could Uncle bear to leave Lara."

"Then let’s pinky promise," Sophie Foster curled her little finger, Nicholas Croft, somewhat amused and exasperated, curled his little finger and hooked it with hers... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Uncle, you’ve pinky promised with Lara, so you can’t abandon Lara. If one day you really leave Lara, even if you regret it, Lara won’t take you back."

"Uncle won’t," seeing the girl’s pouting lips, Nicholas Croft couldn’t help but bend down for a peck, and the latter once again wrapped around his neck, playfully saying, "Uncle, more..."

It’s said online that if a woman can satisfy her man, he won’t think of finding another woman. Though she was a bit tired, she wanted Nicholas Uncle’s heart to only hold her.

...

On the weekend, Nicholas Croft officially brought Sophie Foster to his home, and upon coming down from the car, Sophie Foster exaggeratedly opened her mouth wide as she looked at the luxurious little villa before her.

"Nicholas Uncle, your house is so beautiful, it must be very expensive."

"It’s alright, come on in."

Nicholas Croft took Sophie Foster’s little hand and led her into the villa.

Sophie Foster, after all, was young; once inside the villa, she also curiously touched the cabinet by the door, and exaggeratedly bounced on the sofa after putting on her slippers, "Uncle, this sofa is so bouncy, it’s much more comfortable than Lara’s."

With a light laugh, Nicholas Croft tousled Sophie Foster’s hair top and pulled her up, "Come, let me show you Uncle’s room."

Following Nicholas Croft up the stairs to the second floor, in the master bedroom, near the door was a large bed, with a sofa by the window inside, along with a coffee table. Sophie Foster couldn’t help but marvel at how luxurious the rich could live; one bedroom was much larger than her entire rental apartment, but...

"Uncle, you like SpongeBob too?"

Seeing the SpongeBob placed on the large bed, Sophie Foster curiously asked, unable to associate the sophisticated Uncle Nicholas with liking such childish toys.
