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?”

The pain and suffering that her mother had endured while giving birth to her and her dire circumstances back then could never be compensated even if the man before her came crawling and apologize at her mother’s grave.

The duke seemed to resonate with Nicole’s feelings.

One of the deepest regrets in his life was not being able to get together with Rosalie.

He was stumped for a moment and looked at Nicole. “I will go visit your mother.” He did not beat around the bush further.

She no longer restrained herself since the duke had already gone straight to the point.

“If you’re not going to kneel and apologize, there’s no point for you to go visit her! My mother does not want to see you!” Nicole growled at him.

“Nicole, I understand how you feel. The relationship between your mother and I is one of the deepest regrets of my life.”

“Your deepest regret? More like the most unfortunate thing to ever happen to my mother!”

All of a sudden, memories came flashing before her eyes. Memories of her mother staring blankly at the sky; memories of her mother being silent most of the time; memories of her mother’s look of despair; memories of her mother’s depression…
