Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 209

Nicole was definitely wicked. No wonder her parents told her to be careful of this little witch.

Sylphiette rubbed her fingers with so much force that she almost peeled off her skin. Quickly, she forced out a smile.

“Nicole, what are you saying? How could I think that?” She fidgeted and stuttered, “I-I’m j-just afraid that Evan would be over-exhausted. He has just returned from the company after all.”

How could this woman use Evan’s tiredness as an excuse? Nicole did not want to argue with her any further and rolled her eyes at her.

With a sweet voice, she bent forward and spoke to the children, “Why not all of you go play with each other? I’ll call all of you to come and have dinner once I’ve finished cooking.”

The children cheered and hopped around as they answered with “Okay!”

As she was about to leave, Evan called out to her.

“Let Kyle and Juan stay. As for the other two, take them with you.”

Evan glanced at Nina and Maya with his charming eyes.

Since the last time he took Maya for a delicious dinner, Nicole had complained and even mentioned that he might sell Maya off.

Now she wants me to help her take care of the kids? Not a chance!

Nina looked at Evan with a trace of arrogance in her expression. Rolling her eyes at him, she turned around and walked off in a huff.

On the other hand, Maya stood rooted to the spot as she was reluctant to leave. Pouting, she rubbed her chubby hands together. Her gaze slowly filled with anguish.

Doesn’t Daddy like to play with me?

Daddy is a meanie! A big fat meanie!

Nicole’s gaze moved from Nina who was walking away indignantly to Maya. She knew well that the latter yearned for her father’s love very much.

Sighing, she walked up to the little girl and reached out to pat her head. Then, she brought her toward Evan.

“Mr. Seet, Maya really likes you. Do you remember the garland you had woven for her? She carefully kept it without letting anyone touch it. If I’ve offended you in any way, you may find fault with me. But please, I hope you won’t have any bias toward the kids.”

She’s also your daughter. If you don’t like her, she’ll be very sad about it.

Evan lowered his gaze and saw Maya’s reddened eyes. He thought of the time when they were at Clare’s Place. Maya had blinked her large eyes as she chomped down on her food happily, and then she had called him ‘Uncle Evan’ in the most adorable manner. He also thought of her worshipping look at him as he wove the garland for her.

Suddenly, the image of the brat from the past looking at him appeared in his mind.

Although his cold, hard face did not show much change, he warmly reached out a slender hand toward Maya.
