Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1669

Chapter 1669 Bargaining Chip

“Daddy, Skyler, what are you two doing here?” Sally asked.

“Return home with me, Sally!” Steven ordered.

“To do what? Daddy, did something happen?”

“That’s right! Your mother isn’t feeling too well right now. You should go back and visit her,” he lied.

Sally thought for a while and realized it had indeed been a while since she last met her mother, so she nodded. “Okay. I’ll go back with you.”

Davin shot a quick look at Kyle, hoping he could prevent Sally’s departure. After all, if she went back with Steven right away, it was possible that he wouldn’t let her come back so easily.

He might even treat her as a bargaining chip.

Therefore, she must not leave with Steven no matter what.

Sadly, Kyle didn’t really understand what Davin meant. It seemed reasonable to him that Sally should be allowed to return to visit her mother. He couldn’t see the issue.

Seeing how Kyle stayed silent, Davin spoke up. “Your wife’s pregnant right now, Kyle, and she’s bearing a child of the Seet family. You shouldn’t let her go back. Besides, if Sally wants to meet her mother, you can just pick her up and drop her here! After all, Imperial Garden is so big that she can stay however long she wants to spend time with her daughter.”

Kyle, still not getting the situation, looked at Sally and thought that he should respect her decision on the matter.

Sally thought for a while and said, “I think it’s too much trouble to get my mom here. Besides, my mom has been uncomfortable with interacting with people these few years, so it’ll be better if I visit her.”

“I’ll accompany you then—”

“No! Her mother only wants to see her!” Steven cut Kyle’s sentence off with a stern voice.

It was apparent that he wasn’t opening the matter up for negotiations.

“That’s right! Our mother only wants to see her and her alone!” Skyler insisted as well.

Sally could tell something was up, so she said, “Kyle, I don’t think you should follow me. I can go back by myself.”
