Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 569

“Do you mean Levant is actually Sir Musgrave’s illegitimate son?”

Daphne sneered, “I bet he wishes he were. He isn’t related to Uncle Stephen too and he’s only his adopted son.”

Evan went speechless as he was taken aback by what he just heard.

Never had it occurred to him that Levant was not blood-related to anyone from the Musgrave family.

Although the investigation on Nicole’s father had reached a dead end, the effort Evan made that night was not completely in vain as he had successfully obtained a juicy secret from Daphne.

At last, he cast Daphne a cold glance before walking away.

Daphne was puzzled by his reaction. How can he not say something after I have shared such a huge secret with him? Does he need some time to process my suggestion which is going to be life-changing for him?

“Hector, I’m sure you will come back and knock on my door soon! No man will let slip such a good chance to have a meteoric rise to wealth and fame! Meeting me might just be the luckiest thing that has ever happened in your life!”

Watching Evan’s back, Daphne’s eyes gleamed with excitement as she was sure he would come back and beg her to marry him soon.

She did not have a single clue who exactly was the man she was dealing with.

Indeed, having unrealistic expectations and being arrogant and overconfident were capable of clouding one’s judgement.

…

Nicole was back to her room. At the thought of Evan and Daphne spending time together, she couldn’t help but feel upset and frustrated.

She expected Evan would notice her anger just now and follow her back. But to her chagrin, he was nowhere in sight.

“Evan, you should just spend the rest of your life with Daphne!”

Juan was flummoxed when he saw how livid Nicole looked.

Why does Mommy look so pissed after coming back from outside?

“Mommy, did Daddy do something that made you angry?” Juan asked tentatively with some hesitation in his eyes.

Reaching out to caress his head, Nicole shook her head gently.

In her opinion, she ought to keep the issues in her relationship with Evan between them and not let them affect the kids.

“I’m fine and your Daddy didn’t make me mad. Now, it’s time for you to go to bed, little boy.”

Yet, Juan looked not the least bit convinced.

It was because he heard it very clearly how Mommy had been cursing Daddy under her breath just now.
