Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 563

How can I possibly fall in love with a man I just met?

Besides, Aunt Portia might not agree to let him replace Levant too.

She decided to walk away. Yet, she barely took a few steps forward before she turned around to glance at the bodyguard again.

“Ms. Ankins, what’s the matter?”

“I’m fine.”

“Should I get him tied up to receive punishment?”

“No, it’s not necessary!”

It was only then did Daphne continue her way to Levant’s room.

Levant was swamped with work at the moment, so he had no time to entertain her. Not taking her confrontation about the kids seriously, he only gave her a perfunctory reply before asking her to leave.

Unable to stand his indifferent attitude, Daphne snapped, “Levant, I suppose you understand it very well that I’m much more important to Aunt Portia than you, and I’m going to be your future wife. Are you sure you’re going to continue giving me the cold shoulder?”

Levant’s face fell as he went lost in thoughts. In fact, she’s got some point there.

Lady Musgrave is my foster mother and she isn’t related to me by blood. Perhaps, it’s true that Daphne, her niece, does matter more to her.

But, so what if that’s true?

It’s up to Sir Musgrave to decide his successor.

Also, I know exactly who’s on his mind.

The dukeship will be mine as long as I get to marry Nicole!

“Levant, answer me now!”

At that moment, Levant decided to make his stance clear to Daphne.

It would actually do her good too – the earlier he told her that he was going to pursue Nicole, the earlier Daphne could stop wasting her time on him.

“Daphne, I suppose it’s no secret to you that I have no romantic feelings for you. In fact, I don’t think we’re suitable for each other.”

I don’t think we’re suitable for each other.

That was the verdict Daphne received after five years of painstaking effort.

All at once, her mind was flooded with memories of how hard she used to try pleasing him and ingratiating with him.

She suddenly realized how sorry and cheap she had been in the past five years.

The pent-up frustration of not getting her love reciprocated had turned her into an aggressive and overbearing woman.

Seems like I’m nothing but a sickening presence to him now!

“Levant, remember what you just said to me! I hereby announce the death of my old self because I won’t ever try to please you so hard again in the future!”

After the angry outburst, she turned around and stormed off.
