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.”

His words were like a sudden ray of sunshine on a gloomy day, and warmth seeped into Nicole’s heart.

He gave his approval?

It’s strange how quickly he agreed to it. Is he pitying me now that I’ve lost Maya?

Like Nicole, Kyle and Juan had not expected their father to agree to it without hesitation. Overwhelmed with joy, Juan hugged Nicole tightly, unwilling to let go.

“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.

She took her lack of response as a silent agreement.

“Let’s go, Nina.”
