Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Nicole raised her head to look at Evan. At that moment, he was facing his back to her, so she could not see his expression.

Evan definitely won’t let the boys come with me.

After wiping her tears away, she was about to persuade her sons to stay when Evan’s deep voice sounded. “I’ll send both of you there.”

“Mommy, Daddy’s sending us there. Why don’t you come with us in Daddy’s car?”

“That’s right, Mommy. Come ride in Daddy’s car.”

Nicole peeked at Nina. Like a child who had made a mistake, Nina stood still wordlessly with her head hung low.
