Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1000

“How could your classmates describe you like that! That wasn’t very nice of them!” Nicole exclaimed furiously.

Maya started to cry even harder.

“Mommy, do you think my classmates are right? Do you think I look like a tortoise?”

Nicole sensed that she misspoke and clapped a hand over her mouth. “No. Not at all. You’re an adorable princess. You don’t look like a tortoise at all.”

Maya started to wail again. Nicole hastily handed the phone to Evan.

Evan immediately started to comfort Maya. “No matter if you’re fat or skinny, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re beautiful in your own way. Don’t live by the words of others. It’s not your fault that you didn’t wear your uniform. I’ll add Grandma into the group chat now. We’ll pay better attention in the future, okay?”

Maya choked back a sob. “Daddy, I followed the nutritionist’s diet plan and lost a lot of weight. It didn’t use to bother me when they made fun of me. But now it makes me so sad.” Maya continued to sob.

“You’re a big girl now, which is why you’re starting to care about your looks. You’ll become slimmer in the future and your beauty will grow.”

Will I really?

I have more questions but I know that being slim equals being beautiful.

I can already see myself as skinny and pretty as Nina. She wiped the tears away from her eyes. “I’ll continue trying my best to lose weight, Daddy. I won’t give them a reason to laugh at me again.”

“I believe you, Maya.”

“I want to talk to Mommy, Daddy.”

Evan handed the phone back to Nicole. Maya reminded her to take care of herself. Nicole did not understand why Maya was telling her such things.

“I’m fine, Maya. If you miss me, why don’t I go see you?”

“Come see us tomorrow, Mommy. Grandma is bringing us to the mall to buy new clothes later.”

“Okay, I’ll visit you tomorrow.”
