Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 394

Hearing old Russell’s words, Jonathan immediately put forward a dissenting view.

Pointing out the previous scandals, he used them as a reason not to allow Nicole and Evan to be together.

“Anyhow, her behavior and style were unfitting to be a candidate for Evan. I prefer a socialite like Sofie Sweeting who hails from a well-to-do upbringing to be a superior suitor for our Evan.”

“You audacious a**hole! What are you blabbering about? Methinks Sofie is in the same mold as Anthony the crook! Humbug! How can that spoilt doll be compared to the strong mother who single-handedly raised three excellent kids? Besides, surely Sofie will never treat the kids sincerely nor well. In my opinion, Ms. Lane is the most suitable partner for Evan.”

“…”

Seeing old Russell’s agitated stomping of his walking cane and adverse reaction towards his suggestion, Jonathan dared not to argue. It was rare for the old man to speak up so passionately.

Trying to calm the situation, Sophia took the opportunity to suggest that everyone should gather for a meal to get to know Nicole better once more.

Jonathan glared at her and muttered bitterly under his breath, “If she really marries Evan, with her disposition she will surely have conflicts with you in the future. Don’t expect me to bail you out then!”

Looking at her husband with indifference, Sophia spoke up confidently, “Although it is said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, I sincerely believe that as long as we treat one another with respect and love, I will certainly get along with my daughter-in-law just fine!”

“…” Jonathan sullenly swiped a squint at his wife. He felt as if he was the odd one out.

Old Russell meanwhile was extremely satisfied with Sophia’s positive enthusiasm.

He chided Jonathan, telling him that he should learn more from his wife.

After all, only with a constructive mindset could a family be harmonious. How could one be prejudiced against Nicole who had yet to even step into the family? All those biases and preconceptions would be detrimental to a family’s relationship. How could the family get along happily in the future?

“Yes. I understand, father.” In front of the old patriarch, Jonathan dared not oppose further, hence he grudgingly nodded in agreement.

After that, Russell turned and looked fondly upon the four children. He wondered in his heart what gift he should bestow upon Nicole.

Since Evan himself is not short of money, therefore when Nicole marries him, naturally they will not be in want of anything in the future, hence…

The best gift therefore is something meaningful. An object maybe.

After mulling over it for a moment, he came up with a bright idea.

He felt both Evan and Nicole would definitely appreciate this planned gift.

Peering at Sophia, he requested her to call Evan as soon as possible, intending to invite Nicole along for a meal.

“I’ll call him right away.” Without delay, Sophia gingerly dialed for Evan.

Upon relaying old Russell’s invitation, she hung up. On the other end of the line, Evan was elated by the news.

Eyeing Nicole tenderly, he asked for her opinion.
