Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

“My wife? Why aren’t you living in the Imperial Garden? I don’t remember seeing you around before.”

Nicole thought about the situation before she lied, “You were sick, so I went abroad to study medicine. I’ve since finished my studies and have returned to treat your condition. Let me check your pulse, okay?”

Evan narrowed his eyes. He never expected Nicole to come up with an excuse like that, but he couldn’t let her check his pulse. She would discover that his illness was a ruse once she did so.

Still, she admitted to being my wife and said she’ll treat my illness. This is the perfect cover to make her stay by my side, so I can care for her and help her deal with her health issues instead.

“I can’t be certain that what you said is the truth. What if you’re just a quack doctor trying to hurt me? I will only allow you to examine me once I am certain that you are my wife.”

Nicole was shocked, but she replied, “Okay, how would you like to go about confirming that? Let’s get to it because your condition has to be treated immediately.”

Evan ignored her. He simply got up and walked to the study room.

Nicole followed closely behind him. She sounded worried when she offered, “I’ll only check your pulse. Is that okay?”

“No, it is not,” rejected Evan firmly.

Nicole would never guess that the real reason behind Evan’s stubbornness was that he was faking his illness. She genuinely thought that Evan was only acting that way because he didn’t know who she was. I suddenly hate that he has always been so cautious around strangers and is a bit of a germaphobe. Still, what do I do?

Nicole sighed and started looking for the others in the house. She wanted to ask the maids about Evan’s condition and learn what was going on.
