My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Tatiana looked at Nash smugly. "Are you about to ask how I can also control fire?"

Nash replied nonchalantly, "You're a dual-element Esper."

Tatiana shook her head. "Make that three. I can also control mud."

Nash was speechless again. This was truly a monstrous talent! In a novel about urban superpowers, she would definitely be the protagonist.

As the charcoal burned, the temperature inside the hut slowly increased. Tatiana took out some meat to roast on the grill and pulled out more than a dozen spices from her backpack.

Having relied on just water to stave off hunger during the day and having expended a lot of energy, both of them were famished. The pork belly sizzled on the grill, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was dripping with grease. Nash practically drooled.

Half an hour later, the two sat on their stools and enjoyed the barbecue heartily. They chased it down with beer. On the grill beside them, there were sides of cabbage, eggplant, oysters, and lobsters being cooked.

After nearly two hours of eating, both were stuffed to the brim. "You should've taken these out earlier, then the day wouldn't have been so hard!" Nash said, his words muffled by the oysters he was eating. Tatiana rolled her eyes. "With the gravity during the day, they would've been instantly crushed into pieces!"

Nash took a couple of sips of beer to cover his embarrassment and changed the subject. "How long will this night last?"

"About three days," she replied.
