Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 349

She staggered a few steps forward and grabbed the front of his shirt. After that, she pointed at his left eye and said, “Was it this eye that saw it,” then pointed at his right eye and said, “or this one?”

Evan’s brows knitted into a frown. Could it be that she really didn’t take that five hundred million?

“If it wasn’t you, then how did you buy Imperial Garden under your name?”

Nicole froze momentarily. “It wasn’t me. I know who did it. It was… It was…”

“Who?” Evan pressed on.

Nicole suddenly pinched down hard on his cheeks and slurred, “It was your… It was my… It was our… our… I-I can’t tell you…”

Evan was at a loss for your words.

He glanced at her with cold eyes. What gibberish is she saying? Looks like this woman is seriously drunk!

“Since you’re already rich, don’t mix around with people like him and get yourself drunk to the point that you can’t even get home!”

“Home?”

Nicole curved her lips into an alluring smile. “Evan, can you take me home, please?”

“Why should I-”

Evan had not even finished speaking when Nicole burrowed into his chest and hugged him tightly.

Evan lowered his head to look at a very drunken Nicole, his eyes deepening with a maelstrom of emotions.

The scene before him seemed awfully familiar.

He could vaguely recall roses in their full bloom, and the little girl with glittering eyes hugging him the same way.

Back then, she had always been bullied by others. To protect her, he had been beaten black and blue.

Tears resembling crystal-clear pearls had rolled down her fair cheeks, soaking the fabric covering his chest and shooting straight to his heart.

He had brushed away her tears while saying, “Don’t cry. It’s alright. I’m here and I won’t let them bully you.”

However, the little girl had cried even harder after he said that.

He did not dare to say more, only silently wiping her tears away.

Those were memories from many years ago, but it felt as though all of that had just happened yesterday.

At the time, he was serious about wanting to protect that little girl for the rest of his life.

The little girl had always been a cry baby back then.

The corner of Evan’s lips tugged upwards into a small smile as he dipped his chin down to look at Nicole again.

She was indeed different from the little girl back then. Now, she was stubborn and strong-willed. When they got into an argument, he would often be left speechless.
