Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1606

Her Bodyguard

“That’d be great. She loves children,” Evan replied.

“Come, let’s have a toast,” Murphy responded jovially.

After speaking to the bodyguard, Levant returned to the table and sat down. His eyes scanned Faye, sizing her up. “This lady… I haven’t met her before,”

“She’s Nicole’s personal bodyguard,” Evan answered.

“Bodyguard?” Levant echoed.

He turned to Evan and looked at him closely with a meaningful gaze. “Did you get a female bodyguard for your wife because you’re… worried about having a male bodyguard follow her around? You really are petty!”

“Faye may be a woman, but she’s just as skilled as you.”

Frowning, Levant gazed at Faye disbelievingly. “Are you really that good? How many years have you trained?”

“Ten years,” Faye replied earnestly.

The long, arduous years of training had not been easy on Faye. When bad luck struck her family back then, her grandfather had found a renowned but reclusive master for her.

Her master had put her through four grueling days of tests and finally agreed to teach her after seeing her resilience and tenacity.

“You? Nicole’s bodyguard? Not a chance in hell,” Evan retorted.

“I knew you were a petty one. Relax, I was only joking. My feelings for Nicole are nothing like what they once were. I’m a married man now. I know what I should and shouldn’t do,” Levant replied with an easy smile that showed he had let go of the past.

“Levant, I’m sure you’ll be very happy with Tiffany,” Nicole said in a sincere tone.

His eyes flicked toward her for a second, then quickly shifted away. Picking up his wine glass, he murmured, “That’s right. I’m going to lead a happy life. My son needs our love.”

Evan fixed Levant with a deep, piercing gaze. There’s a… look in his eyes. I can tell that he has decided to put the past behind him. It’s not because he doesn’t have any feelings for Nicole. Instead, he has chosen to do so because of his sense of responsibility toward his wife and his moral compass.

He must’ve also taken into account the position he was putting himself in at his age. Emotions just can’t be forced. One can’t force another person to love them, neither can they force them to let things go. When I recall how love-struck he was, it’s quite a feat indeed for him to get to this point!
