My Substitute CEO Bride

Chapter 971
At the grand luncheon, Felicity put her phone down and gave Jean a curious look. “The most influential individuals in both the
business and political spheres are at my house, Madam Windsor. Don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate for you to be here?”
The elegant-looking woman seated at the head of the table smiled demurely. “I’ve never been to Snyder Estate ever since your
aunt passed!”
Felicity glanced at Nash before she then asked, “Madam Windsor, can
I ask you a question?”
“Yes, go ahead!”
“You...”
Felicity thought the question was slightly awkward and did not know how to begin her sentence.
“Go ahead and ask what’s on your mind. I don’t bite!” Jean put her cutlery down gently.
Felicity drew in a deep breath and summoned her courage to ask, ” Rumor has it that you were once a nun. Is that true?”
Jean gave Felicity a startled look. “Who said that?”
“So, does that mean this isn’t true?”
“It’s not true!”
“Then, why aren’t you married?”
“Can I refuse to answer this question?”
Jean had a rueful look on her face. However, she did not seem offended.
Felicity shook her head and said, “No, you must answer it!”
Jean’s eyebrows began knitting themselves together slowly.
Then, Nash spoke up, “Don’t interrogate her, Felicity. We’ve all got secrets we’d like to keep to ourselves.”

Felicity stuck her tongue out. “Fine, I’ll stop asking questions!”
Jean picked up her wine glass and changed the subject. “Mr. Calcraft, I’d like to thank you on behalf of the Windsor family for
ridding Sagen of its troubles!”
Nash smiled as he also picked up his wine glasses. “I didn’t have much to do with that. It’s all thanks to the Northern Territory
Warden You should thank him instead!”
An odd look appeared on Jean’s face when the Northern Territory
Warden was mentioned.
Nash did not ask any questions and downed his wine in one go.
After lunch, Nash asked Felicity for her help in booking several plane tickets for a return trip to Jonford.
Felicity booked tickets for a flight at three in the afternoon.
Jean asked the housekeeper to prepare some fruits and tea.
While having dessert, Felicity asked, “Madam Windsor, what sort of person was my aunt like?”
She was asking that question on behalf of Nash.
She knew Nash was at the Windsor home because he wanted to know more about his mother.
Jean perched on the couch elegantly, a look of reminisce appearing in her eyes as she said, “She was a kind, gentle, and
sensible lady. I used to describe her as a ray of sunlight because she would bring warmth to every place she went!”
Felicity sighed. “I can imagine just how popular she must have been back in the day!”
Jean chuckled. “The number of love letters I was asked to pass to her was enough to fill several large bags. The rich and
handsome heirs of the business and political spheres were interested in her.
“The current governor of Sagen actually spent two years trying to woo her, while the current patriarch of Capiton’s Zuniga family
actually ran away from home for her!”

Eric could not help clicking his tongue after hearing what Jean said. Do you have any pictures of her? I’m curious what she looks
like!”
After a moment’s silence, Jean retrieved a wallet from her LV handbag and took a colored photograph out of it. She handed the
picture to Eric.
There were two gorgeous-looking women in the photograph.
One was in a white dress and had a cream-colored round hat perched on her head. Her hair was braided into two braids that
hung down her chest, and she had a gentle smile on her face.
Her smile was one of the most beautiful things one could ever lay their eyes on.
The other person was wearing a long green dress, and her hair was also braided into two braids. She was using her fingers to
poke her cheeks and had crossed her eyes to make a funny face. She seemed adorable.
Eric handed the photo to Nash and said appreciatively, “Indeed, she’s beautiful. There’s an air of elegance about her!”
Nash took the photo and could not help grinning when he saw his mother in her youth. “No wonder she gave birth to a son as
good- looking as I am.....”
“Don’t get all cocky... You’re not even half as good-looking as Jaxon is!”
Felicity grabbed the photo from Nash’s hands and was stunned by her beauty. “She’s gorgeous... As expected of the Snyder
family’s wonderful genes!”
