Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 426

A silence ensued.

Is she leaving?

Sophia was slightly taken aback.

As she was still considering how to broach the subject, Nicole had unexpectedly come out to announce her own departure.

Sophia suddenly felt an aching in her heart for the pitiable Nicole.

Nonetheless, is anyone to be blamed for all of this?

“Where do you intend to go? Is there anything that I can help you with?”

“Mrs. Seet, I’m going overseas and I don’t know when I’ll be back. Nevertheless, no worries. Even if I were to return, I shall not seek to make things difficult for you and Evan. I only ask that…”

“What would you like from me?”

“That you might allow my request to visit my children at any given point of time. I hope that you’ll allow me to meet with them in secret.”

Bless the hearts of all parents in the world.

Nicole cannot bear to abandon her children, but she cannot do otherwise either, in consideration of Evan’s circumstances. The young woman’s thoughtful gesture left Sophia, a mother herself, deeply moved.

“You can rest assured that I’ll take very good care of them. Furthermore, I will definitely make them available whenever you wish to see them.”

“Then, I’m glad.”

Sophia reached out and held Nicole’s hand. “You really don’t have to go overseas. For you to go to a place so far away by yourself…”

“Mrs. Seet, I’ll be going for a reason.”

Sophia pressed her for an answer. Nicole took a moment to consider it before she decided to share it with her.

There was a moment of brief silence after that.

“Did you mean it?”

“Yes. I suspect that the culprit was not my mother.”

“If it wasn’t your mother, then you and Evan might be able to…”

When Nicole saw that Sophia’s eyes had lit up, she found it difficult, to speak truthfully.

In the end, she decided to be upfront about it.

“Mrs. Seet, if it weren’t my mother, it could have been my father. Hence, no matter what, the Seet family will not be likely to change how they feel about me.”

Between Nicole and Evan lay a lost life as such. It was an immutable fate.
