Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Stephen Musgrave seemed to have a story of his own.

Evan believed that the duke had his reasons for leaving Nicole’s mother back then.

Nicole snorted at the duke’s reply and asked, “Then should the jerk kneel and apologize in front of the woman’s grave whom he had abandoned?”
