Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Evan had made up his mind. Tomorrow would be the first day to start his “compensation plan”.

He would take Nicole and the children to wherever their hearts desired. Be it shopping or having fun, what mattered most was that they were happy!

At noon, Evan went over to the Seet Residence to pick up his four children for school. Taking the opportunity, Sophia enquired about his plan to marry Nicole.

“Mom, we haven’t discussed this yet.”

“Dear son, this is a matter of utmost importance. Good things are hard to come by. What if something happens again? Take this opportunity to perhaps register your marriage first. At least you’ll have the certificate as proof…”

Evan’s gaze dimmed. He felt that Sophia was overthinking things. Casually, he echoed her sentiment and took the children out.

Seeing them departing, Sophia felt an ominous premonition.

Hoping that nothing untoward might happen, she secretly prayed that everything would be fine. “Dear God, please don’t let anything bad happen again!”
