Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 172

“Did you have a fight with Mommy?”

After a moment of contemplation, Evan shook his head and replied, “Nope.”

“If that’s the case, why did Mommy say that you are her nemesis?”

Evan frowned at what the little boy said.

He reckoned Nicole must have spoken that out of spite because she was pissed with him for using Zane to compel her into giving up Juan’s custody.

However, he decided to make up something to answer Juan because he couldn’t let him know the true reason. “Your Mommy must have meant that as a joke.”

“Daddy, it’s not easy for Mommy to raise me up. She’s gone through a lot of suffering and she once even sold her blood just to make money. For her effort of nurturing me into such a healthy and adorable kid, could you please treat her nicer?”

There was a trace of imploration in Juan’s clear eyes.

Meanwhile, suspicion flickered in Evan’s pupils.

She sold her blood…

As a woman who was cruel enough to abandon her own kid, could she have done such a huge sacrifice for Juan?

He wondered why she had not left Juan with him since she had done that to Kyle.

Wouldn’t it have been better for her to just leave both kids to him so that she could have total freedom?

Sometimes, he really found it hard to figure her out.

“Daddy, can you promise me that?”

Juan tugged the sleeves of his shirt in a coquettish manner.

Evan, whose mind was pulled back to reality because of him, nodded. “I promise you.”

“How about you and Mommy take me to the theme park this weekend?”

“This weekend…” Evan’s voice trailed off with some hesitation.

He recalled the last time he brought the kids on a trip together with Nicole. Thinking about the time she lashed out on him at the dessert place, he was worried he might regret his decision to go on another trip with her this time.

“Daddy, please just say yes because Kyle is dying to go to the theme park too. We were so envious of our friends when they told us about their trips with their parents.”

“Let me think about it first. Now, it’s late and it’s time for you to go to bed.”

“Daddy, just say you will take us to the theme park. I’m begging you… I’ll go to bed right away if you promise…”

At last, Evan succumbed to his pestering by agreeing to take them to the theme park.
