Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 397

Since Evan was spared from clearing up after dinner, he went to the children and started asking them to get ready for bed.

“But, Daddy, Mommy is not gonna chase you out now. Do we still have to pretend we’re asleep?” Juan asked. The boy did not understand why they had to turn in early tonight.

“Yeah, Daddy! Mommy will see through us if we use the same trick again,” Kyle agreed.

Evan looked at them with a serious look and said, “You’re right. We’d have to try a different trick tonight. Y’all will have to sleep for real this time.”

“What? It’s still so early, Daddy! Why do we have to go to bed so soon?” Juan protested as he rolled around the bed and shook his head.

Likewise, Kyle was unwilling to sleep so early. “We didn’t even have time to play with our new Lego and iPad,” he told Evan. Juan swiftly came up next to Kyle and nodded in agreement.

Evan would definitely not let these two kids ruin his secret agenda. He stared at them and asked, “Do you guys want to go shopping tomorrow? I’ll get y’all new clothes and treat y’all to a nice meal.”

Kyle and Juan exchanged looks and nodded without hesitance.

“Alright then, go to bed early and get a good night’s rest before our adventure tomorrow,” Evan ordered.

So he’s bribing us?

Daddy’s only thinking about spending time with mommy.

What a bad daddy.

Evan knew what they were thinking in their little heads. He flicked them on the forehead and hurried them to bed.

Juan buried himself in the blanket unwillingly and mumbled to himself.

Seeing Juan caved, Kyle knew he could not do anything either. So he sighed and lay down beside Juan, ready to call it a night.

Over in another room, Evan told the girls the same thing.

Maya closed her eyes and kept telling herself that she had to sleep. I’m having good food tomorrow. I’m getting new clothes tomorrow. I need to close my eyes. I need to sleep.

And she really fell asleep in the end.

Beside her, Nina snugged underneath the blanket with the makeup organizer in her arms.

She really liked her new toy and she thought having a Daddy was not a bad idea after all.

……

Nicole was surprised to see all the four kids sound asleep when she came out of the kitchen.

But seeing Juan wriggling in the blanket like a worm and Kyle staring into the ceiling blankly, Nicole knew instantly that Evan was up to something.

She went to the living room and questioned Evan. “Why did you tuck them in this early?”
