Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 989 - 985: You Haven’t Even Planned to Introduce Me to Your Parents

Before going to sleep, Nicholas Croft remembered something important. In the past few days, Nathan Moore called him, saying that ever since that night at the nightclub when she was harassed, Titus Zane had shut herself in her room.

She eats very little every day. Nathan is worried that if this continues, she might starve, so he wants Sophie Foster to take her out for some fresh air.

Actually, Nicholas knows in his heart that his bro’s real concern is about Titus Zane’s health.

After almost a year of being together as husband and wife, how could there be no feelings? Besides, Titus Zane is the kind of stunning beauty that would make any man’s heart flutter.

Leaning against the bed, Nicholas smoked a cigar. The recent intimate session had taken quite a bit of energy; the little thing was always so enthusiastic and genuine, making him satisfied yet exhausted every time.

Taking a puff of the cigar, he blew the smoke and then held the cigar to Sophie Foster’s lips. She took a puff, her small face still pressed against his chest.

"Lara, Sister Zane hasn’t been in a good mood lately. Uncle Nathan wants you to help console her."

She was a bit sleepy, but as soon as Titus Zane was mentioned, Sophie suddenly lifted her head, "Did Uncle Nathan abuse her again? Sister Zane is so silly, I told her before, if Uncle Nathan abuses her again, she should just leave. Sister Zane is such a fool; there are so many men in the world, yet she sticks to that beast Uncle Nathan..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Nicholas was amused by Sophie’s indignant expression, looking down at her angry little face, saying, "Lara, do you think what Uncle just did with you counts as abuse?"

Sophie Foster...

"How could it? Uncle loves Lara."

"Exactly, Uncle Nathan loves hurting Sister Zane, but Sister Zane doesn’t allow it, so she’s locked herself in her room. Uncle Nathan said Sister Zane has lost a lot of weight," Nicholas’s large hand touched Sophie’s cheek. Her skin was incredibly smooth without makeup, though a bit dull from staying up late often.

And her voice, maybe because of smoking, always sounded smoky. It was the same when she sang, but that kind of voice was also quite distinctive.

"I see," Sophie pouted, muttering to herself, and then indignantly complained, "Doesn’t Uncle Nathan like Sister Zane’s sister? Why not sleep with her sister then?"

"Lara, if you were a man, would you be interested in Sister Zane?"

"Of course I would. Sister Zane is so beautiful, like a fairy untouched by the world. If I were a man, I’d definitely try to get her..."

At this, Sophie suddenly raised her eyes, looking at Nicholas with surprise, "Uncle, do you mean... Uncle Nathan has already fallen for Sister Zane?"

"Yes, he just hasn’t realized it himself yet." Nicholas took a puff of the cigar, his other large hand gently caressing Sophie’s face.

"Well, if that’s the case, then I’ll be a good person and call Sister Zane tomorrow, inviting her out for a meal and shopping."

Nicholas pecked her lips once more, praising, "Lara is so good."

"Uncle," Sophie lifted her small face with a pout at Nicholas, who raised an eyebrow in confusion, "What is it?"

"Do you love Lara?"

Sophie’s sudden question left Nicholas stunned for a moment, then he pinched her chin with a smile and said, "Silly girl, can’t you feel how much Uncle loves you?"

"But..." Leaning onto Nicholas’s chest, Sophie pouted and hesitantly said, "You haven’t planned to take me home to see your parents."
