Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1224

“Sure. I have a bone to pick with you too!”

Davin pursed his lips. I haven’t had it easy all this while either. Were all my efforts for naught? Instead of praising me, the first thing he says is that he has a score to settle with me. Is he even my brother?

As the two men got up and headed to the study room, Kyle and Nina sat next to Nicole and listened to her recount her experience during the trip.

Although Kyle was all ears, Nina was clearly distracted. She was too preoccupied with her thoughts about Chris. I wonder what he’ll think when I don’t show up?

Over in the study room, Davin told Evan everything that had happened while he was away.

By the time Davin stopped talking, Evan’s expression had turned unusually grave.

“Why didn’t you tell me all this earlier?” Evan demanded.

Davin hurried to explain. “I was going to tell you, but Kyle wanted you and Nicole to have a good time. He’s such a considerate child. He was afraid that if we told you, Nicole would worry, thus affecting her health and her pregnancy. Anyway, you came back at the right time. There’s a serious problem we need to resolve. In order to heal Nina, we’ll need Resurrecting Herb from Wicked Hill and Exquisite Flower from Jade Hill. Oh, and also Crystal Rose from Nepenthe Valley. I was able to find some information about the first two ingredients, but I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to obtain Crystal Rose. I couldn’t find out anything about it.”

“Crystal Rose?” Evan echoed, falling into deep thought.

Why does that name ring a bell? However, I vaguely recall that Crystal Rose was someone’s name, not the name of an herb!

He frowned as he pondered the matter.
