Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 560

Immediately, he spun around to stare at Nicole, looking gob smacked. You didn’t lose your mind?

Guilt flickered in Nicole’s eyes as she dreaded to meet Yoda’s accusatory gaze.

He immediately realized what Juan said was true judging from her dodgy expression.

Oh, great. Yoda was so worried about her condition that he had been spending the past few days searching for doctors who could treat her condition. Just as he was racking his brain trying to come up with a way to bring the doctors to the estate, he was suddenly told that she had been faking it all along.

I can’t believe she pretended to be an idiot even when she was alone with me!

“Do you think it’s fun to do this?”

“I-I was left with no choice!”

Why didn’t she tell me she’s been putting on an act? Why did she think it was fine to tell the kids the truth, but not to me?

Is it because she doesn’t trust me?

All of a sudden, Yoda felt pissed.

He had always deemed Nicole as his closest person in the world. Yet, did Nicole see him the same way?

Judging from how she handled this matter, the answer to that question was obviously in the negative.

He shot her an icy glare before marching out of the room.

Just then, Maya sprinted after him and wrapped her small arms around one of his calves. “Daddy, I know you are my Daddy!” she whispered to Yoda in an undertone.

Yoda crouched down and fixed his gaze on her bandaged fists. Feeling sorry for the little girl, he scooped her up and walked out of the house at a quick pace.

At the same time, Maya twined her arms around his neck, looking delighted.

She had been missing both Mommy and Daddy terribly for the past few days. It feels so great to be in Daddy’s arms again!

When Yoda reached the door, he glanced at John and demanded, “Come with me!”

John was flummoxed.

Damn it, who do you think you are to talk to me in that tone?

Clearing his throat, John snapped, “Mind you, I’m the president’s assistant while you’re just a bodyguard. Do you think it’s appropriate of you to yell at me like that?”

Pulling a long face, Yoda looked daggers at John. “Are you trying to get yourself sent to the North Pole so that you can live with the penguins there?”

John was flabbergasted upon hearing that remark.

That’s something Mr. Seet used to say to me all the time. How come he…

Is he possessed by Mr. Seet’s soul?

This is such a surprise!

“Don’t worry. Just take your time and I’m sure you’ll find something soon.”

Nicole flashed Sheila a faint smile and gave her a nod in appreciation of her consolation.

“Mommy, just leave it to us and we’ll help you get to the bottom of it!”

“You guys will be a massive help if you don’t create any trouble for me.”

Uhm…

Does Mommy think we are a burden who can’t help her at all?

That was a fatal blow to the kids.

Just then, an idea struck Juan. He inched closer to Kyle and whispered to him, “Let’s take a good night sleep tonight so that we will have enough energy to teach that Daphne woman a lesson! After that, we’ll help Mommy look for her Daddy.”

“Great.”

“Count me in!” Nina patted her chest to show her confidence.

“Sure, Nina. I know you’ll be a brilliant addition to the squad!”

“What are the three of you babbling about? Remember not to tell anyone about my condition, alright?” Nicole said.
