Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 578

Stephen frowned and asked, “Are you separated from the children’s dad?”

Nicole looked at him in surprise, wondering why the man had asked that question.

“I remember you said the last time that you and Levant liked each other. So does that mean you and the children’s dad are already divorced?”

Nicole recalled that she had made up an excuse the previous time they met so that she could continue staying there. She never thought that Stephen would have such a good memory.

No wonder people said that one lie always led to more lies. She had brought it upon herself.

As such, Nicole could only bite the bullet and nodded.

“It’s not your fault that you needed to experience such a misfortune. As long as you and Levant truly love each other, having the kids around would not be a problem.”

Sigh. Nicole could only continue to be thick-skinned and nodded again.

As she did not want Stephen to stay on that topic, she took the initiative to steer the conversation into another direction. “Are you busy at the estate? Am I keeping you from your work?”

Even though that was what Nicole said, she was mumbling silently in her heart. Please stop asking me questions! I don’t want to go against my conscience and continue lying!

Stephen noticed the woman’s awkward expression and an uneasy expression on her face. He took the chance to inform her that he had some work to settle and left.

Nicole was finally able to heave a sigh of relief.

She understood that she could not blame Stephen for asking so many questions as it was just normal for a dad to be concerned with his son’s marriage.

However, it seemed strange to Nicole that the man did not seem to mind at all that his son wanted to marry a divorced woman with kids.

After much thought, she came to the conclusion that Stephen must have an exceptionally big heart.

After walking a distance, Stephen suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked back at Nicole’s figure in the distance and sighed.

Rosalie, it’s my greatest regret that I wasn’t able to give you a good life! I hope that this woman who looks so much like you can receive the happiness she deserves.

That scene which happened at the garden was secretly filmed by the Portia’s henchman who was spying on them.

Then, he sent the video to the duchess, who watched it while clenching her fists tightly.

The way her husband looked at Nicole was different from the way he looked at anyone else.

People would only start to panic when they were the ones in trouble. Since that was related to Sir Musgrave, the Duchess was finally getting worried and wanted to force them to leave!

“Daphne, what do you think we should do so that Nicole and that four bast*rds would leave the estate?”

“Aunt Portia, it’s not easy to deal with Nicole and those brats. We need to think over it carefully and come up with a good plan.”

Daphne felt a flicker of irritation when Nicole and her kids were mentioned.

Nicole had acted like a fool previously and cheated her. Until now, she still could not figure out the reason Nicole could stay sane after being drugged.

As for those four annoying brats, their presence irked Daphne even more. She had never met kids who were so weird and they were definitely capable of being the death of her.

She needed to take that opportunity to let out some steam!

After being in deep thought for a while, Portia replied with a troubled expression, “You’re right. Stephen had explicitly stated his wish to protect those four kids. So it would be hard for us to chase them away directly. We need to think of a better way.”

A menacing smile flashed across Daphne’s face as she said, “Aunt Portia, actually, it might be easier for us to do it in the dark. As long as we make the right moves such that they no longer feel like staying here, they would naturally leave on their own!”

After Daphne pointed that out, the duchess seemed lost in thoughts again.
