Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 122

“Nicole, I understand. I do.”

Davin, who usually did not have a care in the world, looked dejected. He lit a cigarette and took a puff.

He puffed out rings of smoke, shrouding himself in it. For some reason, the smoke looked like a barrier between him and the world, isolating him and making him look lonely.

Davin was no longer the jovial and cheeky guy. All of a sudden, he turned into a serious man who looked like he had experienced all the pains in the world.

“Truth be told, I fell in love with a girl once. She got pregnant as well at that time.”

Nicole frowned and listened attentively. She did not expect to see this side of him but was convinced that every person had a painful past he or she would never want to recall.

“One day, I got drunk, fought with someone, and caused her to suffer a miscarriage. She almost lost her life because of it.”

As he spoke, flashes of memory starting to pop up in his mind like a film.

“After that, she…”

Davin found it difficult to continue with the story when all the gruesome details began to haunt him. Just when he was trying to phrase his sentence, he heard a loud bang.

The bedroom door was pushed open and Nina stormed into the room with a makeup box. Anger was written all over her face.

“Mommy, Maya is too much!”

She then slammed the makeup box on the table.

Davin took this opportunity to pull himself together and hid away his emotions. In the blink of an eye, he reverted back to his usual jovial self.

“What’s wrong?”

Nina took all the figurines out of the makeup box and arranged them on the table.

“Mommy, look!”

Nicole knitted her brows upon seeing all the figurines.

Maya walked into the room, looking abashed. She looked at Nicole and stuck out her tongue.

“Mommy, I feel bad for them because Nina uses them for practice every day. I just want to be nice to them.”

“Is this the proper way to treat them? They all looked bloated! Their faces and tummies are as round as yours.”

“I fed them because I’m afraid they’re hungry,” Maya lowered her head to avoid Nina’s angry stare.
