Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 171

The more he tried to ease up the tension between them, the more their relationship turned sour!

“What’s wrong?” Evan asked puzzledly when he returned home noticing how listless Davin appeared.

Davin stopped in his tracks to regard Evan. The longer he stared at him, the more dispirited he felt; he couldn’t help but lament, “Evan, can’t you just make sure things are in peace?”

Evan frowned at him in response. “What do you mean?”

“Do you have any idea how much of a hard time I’ve been going through? I’m worried sick about you! Y-You really owe me a sports car because of that!”

What nonsense is he talking about?

With a crease on his forehead, Evan eyed him skeptically.

“Evan, let’s talk about your relationship with Ms. Lane… Are you sure you aren’t interested in her in the least bit?”

“Of course I’m not!”

After a pause, Davin then braced himself and pressed on, “Do you really hate her, or you are shunning her on purpose?”

Evan went speechless as he narrowed his brooding eyes slightly.

“Evan, are you avoiding her, as well as all other women and all possibilities that might lead to a relationship, on purpose because you’re held back by something that’s been bothering you deep down inside?”

Davin was scrutinizing Evan’s face to see if there was any change to his expression as he audaciously finished phrasing his question.

He astutely caught the trace of intense misery that flashed in Evan’s eyes when he mentioned his issues.

Indeed, Evan had yet to move on from his past despite so many years have passed!

“Evan, that hoyden has already…”

“It’s getting late. You should go back home and rest.”

Obviously having no intention of elaborating on that topic, Evan interrupted Davin without hesitation before striding up the stairs.

Davin let out a sigh in silence while watching his back.

It seemed like the hoyden’s bite had left a deep marking in Evan’s heart.

Although that hoyden was no longer around, he wondered whether the bite mark was still there at the same place after so many years had passed.

Evan and that hoyden…

Evan and Nicole…

Sometimes, one had no choice but to resign to one’s fate.
