Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 511

Nicole could not help but smile as well. Reaching out to touch Maya’s jelly-belly tummy, she replied, “You’ll be healthier when you slim down.”

“Yoda said the same, and Daddy said the same thing too last time.” Having mentioned Evan, Maya proceeded to question, “Mommy, when will Daddy be back?”

“…”

Nicole looked into Maya’s bright eyes. She could feel her heart being ripped apart once more, and that felt really painful.

Nonetheless, she managed to suppress the pain that was throbbing in her heart and continued with her white lie, “Daddy will be back soon. When he’s back, he’ll definitely bring you to climb the mountain, okay?”

Maya furrowed her small brows and nodded.

In the meantime, Nina let loose a sigh out of nowhere. She muttered to herself that Nicole’s statement was simply a silly attempt to coax a naive child.

If what she said was true, then why hadn’t Daddy come home yet?

Nicole looked at Nina without a word as she continued to bathe Maya.

After giving them their baths, hauling them to their bedroom, and cajoling them to fall asleep, Nicole quietly crept out of their room and returned to hers.

As she sat on her own bed, unable to drift into slumber, Nicole could not help but feel distressed as she remembered the looks in Nina and Maya’s eyes when they mentioned Evan just now.

Standing up and opening the doors of her closet to get her pajamas, she suddenly saw the box that she had sneaked out of Yoda’s room.

Putting down the pajamas, she took the box out and returned to her bed, planning to study it properly this time.

How do I open this thing?

“Passcode. What exactly is the passcode, I wonder.”

She murmured to herself as she studied the box, trying futilely to open it.

On the other side of the residence, Yoda had gone back to his lodging. When he opened his drawer to retrieve his things, he discovered, to his horror, that his box was missing.

His composure sank as his heart started beating wildly.

Who could have taken my box?

Thinking back carefully, he concluded that the box should have been taken during the time between dinner and his return to the room.

His expression was solemn, and after a brief moment of silence, a recollection of memory suddenly flashed in his mind.

He remembered bringing the four children back after their walk and recalled that Nicole had turned back to give him a very strange look.

Even though it was merely a quick glance, she had seemed suspiciously anxious. It had brought to his mind that the moment she caught him looking at her, she had quickly turned her head and left.

Something was definitely off there.

Could it be her who took the box away? Was she the culprit then?

Yoda immediately got up and walked out of his room.
