Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 561

The three kids nodded at her solemnly.

Just then, Yoda brought Maya back. He did not enter the room nor did he spare a glance at Nicole.

Wearing a poker-faced expression, he handed Maya to her and left.

Nicole was hit by a pang of sadness in her heart when she saw him leaving.

She did not tell him the truth just because she wanted to perfect her acting. Also, she thought Yoda would be able to see through her acting when time passed.

It was not her intention to lie to him at all!

Perhaps, Yoda had lost some of his common sense as he was simply too worried about her. He totally believed she had really lost her mind because he trusted and cared about her too much.

Because of that, his anxiety and worry got the better of his logical sense.

Nicole muttered under her breath, “Are you too dumb to see through my acting or my acting skill is just too good?”

“Nicole, what did you just say?”

“Nothing.”

With a bitter smile, Nicole carried Maya back to the room.

Back in his room, Yoda lay on the bed thinking about how Nicole had been pretending to be an idiot all this while.

The moment he saw how Nicole was reduced to a mere shadow of her old self, he was both shocked and heartbroken.

He found it hard to breathe as though his heart was being squeezed by an invisible large hand.

“Yes, you’ve successfully shown how great an actress you can be. But, how could you fool me, out of everyone else? Don’t you know that I’ve been worrying about you a lot?”

During the past few days, there was not a moment he had not tried to come up with ways to cure her condition.

Suddenly, he thought of a piece of advice he received some time before this – stay away from good-looking women because the more beautiful they were, the better a liar they were.

Seems like I have to remain rational whenever I deal with Nicole in the future.

She’s a good-looking woman and she’s also great liar.

The next morning, Maya heard a commotion from outside their room when she was about to go comb her hair.

Juan threw Nicole a curious glance. “Mommy, would you please check who’s that?”

Nicole took a peek at the corridor outside through the window. When she saw it was Daphne, she immediately reminded the kids. “The bad woman is here. Look, Mommy is going to act like an idiot again, so please remember not to blow my cover!”

It’s the bad woman!

It’s Daphne!

Ha! She’s here at just the right time! Let’s see how I’m going to teach her a lesson!

“Mommy, don’t worry because we will protect you!”
