Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 181

Well, it wouldn’t hurt to go take a look at the place…

When she was a kid, Nicole had frequently sneaked into Rose Garden to steal flowers for her mother. In the end, however…

“Alright, let’s go have a look tomorrow,” she said.

Juan felt exhilarated. He was confident that his mother would fall in love with the place as soon as she saw it.

When they moved in, Mommy would finally have a place of her own. Whatever belonged to Juan also belonged to her.

Evan found out about Nicole’s plans to visit Rose Garden when he overheard Juan and Kyle’s conversation. His face clouded over.

What would happen if that woman fell in love with the place and insisted on moving in?

He couldn’t let that happen. Evan made up his mind to drop by Rose Garden tomorrow.

After breakfast the next day, Evan arrived at Nicole’s house with Juan and Kyle in tow.

As he glanced at the interior of her new rental apartment, Evan frowned with displeasure. For someone like Nicole who lived in a glorified shoebox, moving into Rose Garden was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Upon seeing Juan and Kyle, Nicole looked pleasantly surprised.

“Mommy was planning to pick the both of you up! Why are you here?”

“We didn’t come by ourselves! Daddy came along with us. He wants to go to Rose Garden too.”

Nicole finally took notice of Evan, who was standing awkwardly outside the door.

“Mr. Seet, what brings you here? Unfortunately, my place is rather small, so I won’t be inviting you in. Please wait outside!” As soon as she finished speaking, a smile crept over her face.

Evan shot a critical look at her. Did she really think that he wanted to go in? He would much prefer standing outside, where the air was fresher.

“My time is precious. Hurry up!” he snapped crossly.

Nicole dashed into Nina’s room. Afraid that Evan was going to fly into a fit of rage if they made him wait any longer, she started nagging at her daughter to hurry up.

“Mommy, I’m done packing. Let’s go.”

“Okay!”

The children were jumping with excitement. Happy to inundate Nicole with more stories about Rose Garden, Juan followed Kyle, Maya and Nina onto Nicole’s car.

Seeing how eagerly the boys had defected to Nicole’s car, ignoring how worn-out and tattered it was, Evan couldn’t help but feel a sense of alienation. Perhaps, he mused, it was true that children were much closer to their mothers than their fathers.
