Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1003

“That a**hole Stephen. How could he not be worried to see me in tears? He even agreed to put me in here to let me bawl all alone! The audacity of these men…”

She sat in the music room wailing while ranting on about the two of them. Despite it being undesirable for her image, she realized being alone in the music room was rather cathartic.

The room granted her solitude, where she could cry and complain to her heart’s content, without having to worry about others’ opinions. The liberating feeling it gave her made her grow fond of Imperial Garden’s music room.

Levant slowly set all the tonics he brought on the table. He looked up at Stephen and sincerely called out, “Dad.”

Stephen froze for a moment. It had been a while since Levant referred to him as “Dad”. Taken aback, Stephen was at a loss for words.

“Dad, where’s Nicole and Evan?”

His question put Stephen out of his trance. “Oh, they went out for a meal. They’ll likely take a while.”

At this moment, Stephen was still unaware that Nicole was in the hospital after fainting.

“These tonics are for Nicole to replenish her health,” declared Levant as he continued to place them on the table.

Stephen could tell they were from K Nation. He had heard that Murphy was back, and he instantly knew these were purchased by Murphy.

Unfortunately, the deep-seated grudges between himself and Murphy were complicated. He didn’t want his own daughter ingesting anything that came from Murphy.

“Bring it back. We don’t lack anything here at Imperial Garden,” Stephen stated coldly.

Judging by the disgruntled look Stephen had, Levant knew that the reason behind his reluctance to accept the tonics stemmed from his grievances with Levant’s own birth father, Murphy.

He put on a cheery smile and tried to persuade his step-father. “Come on Dad, I already brought it here. How can I bring it home? Besides, it’s rather heavy. I’ll just leave it here, okay?”

Stephen glanced at him and attempted to repeat his previous statement. However, Levant swiftly changed the topic.

“Dad, you haven’t had dinner, right? Why don’t you come to my place for dinner? You can have anything your heart pleases.”
