Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1139

Jonathan suggested, “Davin, I have a better idea. I’ll take care of the rest, whereas you can pay for the car. How does that sound? Since the car is for your wife, it will be considered yours as well.”

Me? Paying for the car?

 
 

Davin laughed. “Dad, you’re overestimating my capabilities. I don’t have that much money, so how am I supposed to pay for it!”

“Hah! I knew it! If you’re unable to pay, then don’t get it!” Jonathan lashed out.

Looking at his father, Davin gulped, “Dad, it’s only a villa and a car. Why are you so mad about it? Besides, we’re the Seets. It wouldn’t look good if that’s all we’re giving her.”

 

Jonathan was more agitated after hearing what Davin said. “Only a villa and a car? Are you nuts? The Seet family doesn’t need to ‘look good’! We don’t need the extra attention!”

 

Despite that, Jonathan continued to pester him. “Dad, marriage is once in a lifetime… We should go big or go home…”

Jonathan couldn’t agree with a single word that he said. “These are just gifts, Davin! You still need to spend during the actual wedding itself! Besides, you’re not even using your own savings and want me to pay for everything! How is this reasonable?”

 

“Dad, let’s not go there…” Davin was frustrated.

Yet, Jonathan couldn’t contain himself any further. “I am your father, but do you respect me as your one? Your soul and mind are with the Muir family now.”

 

“Dad, I’m trying to uphold the image of the Seet family. How can you say this to me…” Davin felt wronged.

“I told you! We, the Seets, don’t need it!” Jonathan let out a loud growl.

At the same time, Sophia was heading downstairs and heard the conversation. “What don’t we need?”

Davin saw Sophia’s arrival and immediately tried to coax her. ”Mom, Dad’s saying that he doesn’t care about upholding the Seet family’s image. I was just thinking about giving Sheila a luxurious car. However, Dad disagreed and wanted me to pay for it myself. I don’t have the money!”

“Jonathan, it’s just a car!” Sophia immediately rebuked him.

 

Seeing that his mother was lending a helping hand, Davin quickly supported Sophia’s statement. “Exactly! It’s just a car. I’m completely lost of words with how Dad is reacting.”

Layla asked warmly, “Mr. and Mrs. Seet, come in.”

Sophia quickly grabbed Layla’s by her hand. “Sure, thanks for having us here.”

“It’s been quite a while since I last saw you. You’re looking good!” Layla greeted her.

“No… You’re making me blush! But enough about me, just look at you! Your face is glowing and radiant! You’re not too bad yourself, Mrs. Muir.” Sophia was very courteous.

The two of them complimented each other relentlessly and exchanged pleasantries. They were obviously enjoying the conversation.

On the other side, the two fathers greeted each other in brevity and went straight to the point. The next topic they discussed was the marriage registration between Davin and Sheila.

Sophia was a frank and direct person. Instead of beating around the bush, she bluntly said, “Sheila and Davin would be officially married tomorrow. So, I was thinking that the wedding should be held as well. What do you think?”
