All Chapters of Who's the Substitute Now?: Chapter 681 - Chapter 690

The shout was so real, so clear that he couldn't convince himself he had misheard it. As soon as he heard the name "Jacob," the memories and emotions buried deep within his heart were triggered, flooding his mind like a tidal wave.Joshua felt like he had been hit on the head with a hammer, his senses numb. He stood there, frozen, like a stake driven into the ground, unable to turn around to look.The memories associated with the name "Jacob" were painful and torturous. They were memories of a young Joshua who had been forced to leave. That Joshua was long gone, broken and shattered."Jacob…"The voice grew closer, and Joshua felt a sense of disorientation. He felt his forehead dripping in cold sweat and his mind going blank.Just as his emotions were at a breaking point, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder."Jacob, what are you doing here?"The voice was right next to his ear. Joshua was startled, then looked at the hand on his shoulder, his entire body going numb.Was this

Natasha didn't notice Joshua's sharp, knife-like gaze on her. Her attention was focused on the menu."Escargot, garlic stuffed mushrooms, lobster bisque..." Natasha listed one dish after another.Unsurprisingly, they all hit Joshua's sore spots.He wasn't usually a suspicious person, but these dishes... were too coincidental.Could it be that Natasha actually knew Jacob?The man's jaw tensed unconsciously, and his gaze was laced with poison.Even as absorbed as Natasha was in the menu, it was hard for her not to notice Joshua's gaze. The unusually intense gaze fixed on her made Natasha feel uncomfortable.She eventually spoke up, "What's wrong?" She paused her ordering and sat up straight, looking directly at Joshua."If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to make faces at me," she said bluntly.Natasha looked at Joshua calmly, not even bothering to explore the meaning behind his piercing gaze.It was probably just because she hadn't answered his calls o

It was obvious why Joshua had suddenly brought this up."He's still in the ICU. His life is hanging by a thread. After this month, we may never see him again."The man spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on Natasha, as if searching for a glimmer of emotion on her face.But Natasha's expression remained calm, with only a hint of detachment in her eyes.It was as if the person Joshua was talking about had no relation to her whatsoever."You..." Joshua's words got stuck in his throat when he saw Natasha's indifferent expression.Her cold demeanor made him feel that there was not an ounce of humanity within her...He persisted and said, "Our Grayson family has consulted nearly every doctor in Oceanville, but none of them can treat Grandpa's illness.""The doctors now recommend that only the Sullivan family's miracle worker can treat his illness."Natasha listened to Joshua's words in silence. She made no comments and showed no change in expression.Even when she heard the name "the Sull

"Ah…" Natasha blinked, not reacting at first.Seeing Natasha's puzzled expression, Joshua smiled. He then smirked, leisurely repeating, "I said, is a simple apology enough?""I mean, I saw blood. Shouldn't you compensate me for that?" His tone sounded persuasive and his eyes filled with anticipation."Compensate?" Natasha echoed.She seemed a bit slow to grasp what was happening, unconsciously echoing his words."Yes, it's not a small matter to have lips bleeding. I'm meeting business partners later, and everyone will notice my lips are injured. Especially in this state…" Joshua reached to touch his lips.It was a common gesture. But for some reason, when Joshua did it, it added an inexplicable hint of ambiguity.Those who didn't know might even think Joshua's lip was injured due to intense kissing.Natasha pursed her lips, involuntarily backing away.But Joshua seemed oblivious. He cast a suggestive glance at Natasha, his lips oozing with blood, his slight nod adding to the s

Joshua's tone sounded casual and his expression indifferent, as if discussing something unrelated to him. Yet, it gave the impression that he was talking about his own affairs."Is it worth it?" Natasha murmured, repeating the question.Perhaps because Joshua exuded a melancholic air, Natasha stopped in her tracks and earnestly answered the question. "If this mother is willing to do it, then it must be worth it."Upon hearing this, Joshua looked at her, his melancholy seeming to deepen."Is that so? Do you also think that everything this mother does is worth it?"The sorrowful expression in his eyes seemed so thick that it was unbreakable.Natasha was surprised to see Joshua like this. She didn't understand why Joshua had suddenly changed."A parent's love for their child involves careful planning. Every mother who selflessly sacrifices for her child is great…"Natasha considered her tone carefully. "A mother who wholeheartedly loves her child would do this, wouldn't she?"Bef
