Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Hearing old Russell’s words, Jonathan immediately put forward a dissenting view.

Pointing out the previous scandals, he used them as a reason not to allow Nicole and Evan to be together.

“Anyhow, her behavior and style were unfitting to be a candidate for Evan. I prefer a socialite like Sofie Sweeting who hails from a well-to-do upbringing to be a superior suitor for our Evan.”

“You audacious a**hole! What are you blabbering about? Methinks Sofie is in the same mold as Anthony the crook! Humbug! How can that spoilt doll be compared to the strong mother who single-handedly raised three excellent kids? Besides, surely Sofie will never treat the kids sincerely nor well. In my opinion, Ms. Lane is the most suitable partner for Evan.”

“…”

Seeing old Russell’s agitated stomping of his walking cane and adverse reaction towards his suggestion, Jonathan dared not to argue. It was rare for the old man to speak up so passionately.

Trying to calm the situation, Sophia took the opportunity to suggest that everyone should gather for a meal to get to know Nicole better once more.

Jonathan glared at her and muttered bitterly under his breath, “If she really marries Evan, with her disposition she will surely have conflicts with you in the future. Don’t expect me to bail you out then!”

Looking at her husband with indifference, Sophia spoke up confidently, “Although it is said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, I sincerely believe that as long as we treat one another with respect and love, I will certainly get along with my daughter-in-law just fine!”

“…” Jonathan sullenly swiped a squint at his wife. He felt as if he was the odd one out.

Old Russell meanwhile was extremely satisfied with Sophia’s positive enthusiasm.

He chided Jonathan, telling him that he should learn more from his wife.
