Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1041

Evan didn’t reply.

Evan’s sharp eyes caught Nicole digging her fingernails into her flesh. He also saw her eyes glowing with endless anticipation and excitement, which got him to think that he should find a way to let Nicole see the kids.

 
 

“I got it. You and Kyle should go to bed soon as well.”

“Okay, daddy. We will.”

After hanging up, Evan got up to walk up the stairs. He was walking past Nicole when she suddenly asked, “Evan, do you really have amnesia? How do you still remember the kids?”

 

A chill ran down Evan’s spine. Should I confess now and tell her that I never had amnesia? No! I still need an excuse to prevent Nicole from checking my pulse. She will stay by my side as long as she doesn’t check my pulse and figures out that I was never poisoned.

 

“My parents told me that they are my kids, and there is no way my parents would lie to me,” informed Evan before he continued walking up the stairs.

Nicole didn’t comment on that.

 

Oh, no wonder. thought Nicole. She watched his back as he walked up the stairs, and a hint of sorrow flashed past her eyes.

Evan didn’t want Nicole secretly checking his pulse at night and realizing that he wasn’t sick. Hence, he didn’t share a room with her. Instead, he got Nicole to sleep in the room beside his.

 

Nicole tossed and turned at night. She couldn’t sleep and kept wondering, Is Evan asleep? Should I sneak in and check his pulse?

Evan was having an equally hard time falling asleep. Does Nicole need anyone to take care of her at night? Her body is weak. Should I go check on her?

The two lovebirds deliberated for a while before they got out of their bed at almost the same time. They both wanted to go check on the other.

When they got out of their rooms, they saw each other sneaking out. Their eyes met, and that got them frozen on the spot.

Nicole’s heart thumped fast when she saw Evan there. Who would’ve thought that Evan is still awake at this hour? Good thing I hesitated and came out late. It would’ve been so awkward if he caught me sneaking into his room.

Evan stared at Nicole. He was observant and noticed that she was cautious and tiptoeing earlier. She seems agile, so her body should be fine. Why was she sneaking around, though? What was she going to do?

“You haven’t gone to bed?” asked Evan after they stared into each other’s eyes for a while.

Nicole deliberated before lying, “I can’t sleep, s-so I came out to go for a walk.”

Evan could tell that she was lying. He didn’t know what she was planning, but he didn’t push it either. Well, I can’t sleep either, so I’ll just go for a walk with her, and we can chat.

“I can’t sleep either. The moon’s beautiful tonight and it’s a great time for a walk. Let’s go together.”

Nicole didn’t reply.

She simply nodded and followed him down the stairs.

When they reached the ground floor, Nicole noticed that the sky was pitch black. She could forget about seeing the moon because even the stars were nowhere to be seen. At that moment, Nicole was truly tempted to diss, “Mr. Seet, where’s the beautiful moon you promised?” Naturally, Nicole didn’t actually say anything aloud.

Evan looked at the pitch black sky and suddenly felt awkward. He forced himself to say, “The breeze is nice tonight.”

Nicole put on a fake smile on.

The weather is freezing tonight, and the breeze only made things worse. Yet, he’s calling it nice?

Nicole instinctively rubbed her hands and breathed out on them upon thinking that. A second later, a pair of warm hands draped a coat over her shoulders.

Nicole was stunned. Didn’t Evan lose his memory? Is he instinctively being so sweet to me?

It had been a while since Nicole was spoiled like that, and a warm sensation engulfed her heart.

“Evan, what were you poisoned with?”

“I forgot. I have amnesia, remember?” replied Evan before he brushed past it. Both his amnesia and the poison were faked, so he didn’t want to dwell on that topic.

Nicole didn’t say anything.
