Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1019

While Nicole was lost in thought, the maid outside the study room suddenly reported, “Mr. Seet, Ma’am is here.”

“Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

They went down the stairs and headed to the dining room together.

Meanwhile, Sophia was wandering around the room in deep anxiety.

Upon seeing them, she immediately walked towards Evan. She had been so worried about him.

“Mom, I’m fine. It’s just a small wound.”

Sophia glanced up at Nicole with complicated emotion.

She understood that Nicole hadn’t intended to hurt him. She only behaved in that way because of the Hallucinogen. However, taking into account the current state of her condition, it was dangerous to let her stay by Evan’s side.

Her heart was in her mouth as she thought about that.

Nicole realized Sophia sang a different tune after the incident, but she could relate to the latter’s attitude change. She was a mother as well, and she would want to keep her children safe from all harm.

Therefore, she didn’t blame her.

“Evan, why don’t you stay in Seet Residence for now? Your uncle wants to have a chat with you.”

Nicole agreed with her suggestion. If Evan stayed at the Seet Residence, he would not be harmed by her at the very least.

However, Evan turned Sophia down without an ounce of hesitation. “Mom, I won’t stay in Seet Residence. My home is wherever Nicole is.” he asserted.

“You…” Sophia sighed. She knew how stubborn he could be, so she didn’t push him.

Thoughtfully, Nicole said, “I think you should stay there for a few days. The kids are there too, and I need some time to myself to focus on the acupuncture.”

“…”

Evan frowned at her words. “You need time to yourself? Am I an annoyance to you?” he asked.

“…” How was that possible? All she wanted to do was to protect him.

“Yes. I’m stuck with you every day, and things start to get boring. Have you not heard the saying that absence makes the heart grow fond?” she replied.
