Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 374

“Nicole, this makes me curious. Who is this man whom you are so smitten with?” Evan asked.

Nicole felt only bitterness in her heart. She did not know how to respond to his question.

After a short pause, she finally muttered, “That man warmed my heart.”

Her words made Evan felt like he had a knife in his heart.

Nicole has never mentioned Rose Garden nor admitted she was that woman he met. Was that period not memorable to her?

She probably met a man better than me after that and forgot all about me.

Compared to him, the experience we shared in Rose Garden must pale in comparison.

If this is true, then everything makes sense now.

However, there were more questions Evan wanted to ask.

“How about me?” He gazed at her deeply and continued, “Have I ever made your heart flutter?”

His eyes were fixated on her.

Nicole felt conflicted. She wanted to let him know that she was referring to him.

The boy, Tye, who is the young you, was the one who warmed my heart.

Even though you are no longer as considerate as you were before, you did touch my heart again.

However, these feelings can only be buried deep in my heart.

She had a mocking expression on her face as she glanced at Evan and scoffed, “Mr. Seet, you must be joking. You hate me so much, so how would you be able to make my heart waver? Previously, you told me that I was unscrupulous, useless, a liar, and someone who could not tell right from wrong… I remember all of them.”

Evan was speechless. Those are the only things she remembered?

I guess I was overthinking and hoping for something more.

What happened at the Rose Garden only mattered to me but not her.

Abruptly, he got up and spat, “Whatever, you can call for a press conference for all I care.”

With that, he coldly ordered Kyle and Juan to head home with him.

Puzzled, both boys exchanged looks.

When they were on the way here, their Daddy and Mommy were in a good mood, and they even slept together last night. Why did he want to go home suddenly?

“Daddy, I don’t want to go home,” one of the boys whined.

Frustrated, Evan stated, “Let’s go home. Your Mommy doesn’t want to see us here.”

“That’s nonsense! Mommy loves us,” the boys rebuked.

Evan warned, “Let’s go! If you continue to talk back, I will punish both of you.”

Both the boys remained silent. They suddenly thought that adults were complicated beings.

People tend to say that children are fickle-minded.

However, it seems like the adults are even more fickle-minded than we are in this case.

They could not wrap their heads around the situation.

Every day, the adults just have to make them worry.

“Goodbye, Mommy.”

“Bye bye.”

Since Evan treated Juan and Kyle well, Nicole was comfortable allowing them to head home with him.

After they left with Evan, the door closed.

Nina and Maya widened their eyes in confusion. They knew their Mommy liked their Daddy, so why did she allow him to leave together with Juan and Kyle?

Though they were curious, they just silently watched Nicole.

That night, Nina and Maya tiptoed outside Nicole’s bedroom, only to hear muffled sounds as if someone were crying. Both of them hurriedly called Kyle and Juan and reported, “Oh no, Mommy is crying!”

“Mommy is crying? What happened?” The other end questioned.

Maya replied, “I don’t know. After both of you left with Daddy, Mommy was absent-minded when she made dinner for us and even mistook sugar for salt. All the food tasted sweet.”

Davin rubbed his nose. Seems like reverse psychology worked!

“Nicole, my dad has a terrible attitude, don’t let that…”

When she heard him, Nicole immediately interrupted him. “I’ve got to rush back to the office as something urgent has cropped up.”

Davin could not say anything else in response to that. Witnessing that, Sheila said, “I am looking into collaborating with Lane Corporation in the near future. I’ll go back to your office with you.”

Davin completely agreed with that.

“Nicole, the Mu Group is very strong as well. You could have her visit your office and who knows, you could have collaboration opportunities in the future.”

Sheila had helped when Maya had gone missing, so she was considered Maya’s savior as well.

Nicole could not reject her so she merely nodded in agreement.

“Alright.”

Sheila glanced at Davin with joy upon seeing Nicole’s agreement.

What she meant was: I will have a chat with Nicole to persuade her.

Davin secretly gave her a thumbs up. He was also secretly overjoyed as he had finally gotten rid of the very clingy Sheep.

As he watched them driving to Lane Corporation, Davin got into his car and began calling up his friends to begin his carefree lifestyle again.

Sweeting residence.

Sofie’s face was black the moment she returned from Seet Residence.

She let out two deep breaths and reached out for the valuable vase on the mantelpiece before hurling it onto the floor.

“Sofie, what’s going on? You were fine when you went to visit Evan’s parents. Why are you so angry now?”

Instead of replying her mother, Sofie stared at Anthony.

“Dad, you were the one who said back then that I need to let things cool off between Evan and me, so you sent me overseas for a few months. When the time was right, you would have me come back. Right now, the rumors are rife about Evan and Nicole. You said that this was my chance, b-but why is it that both Mrs. Seet and Evan’s grandpa prefer Nicole over me? To them, Nicole suits Evan more! Why is that so? I am not having it!”

Anthony looked at the angry Sofie and knew that she must have experienced some problems at Seet Residence. He sighed heavily.

“Sofie, I did not expect it to be like this at all. The Seets usually pride their reputation above all. I thought that they would definitely use this opportunity to make Evan cut all ties with that woman, and it would be a good chance for you. However, who knew…”
