Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 571

“Alright.” Nicole nodded and held the girls’ hands as they headed for the dessert store.

Beside her, Nina’s gaze trailed towards Evan, Juan, and Kyle. A small frown settled on her brows as she saw them walking further away.

Why didn’t Mommy ask them to come along as well? What if we lose them?

Thinking of it, she tilted her head and asked, “Mommy, why don’t we ask Daddy to join us?”

But Nicole grunted and hastened her steps instead. “I’m not going to do that!”

She was still angry with him for trying to seduce Daphne yesterday.

Seeing her mother in a foul mood, Nina followed quietly without saying another word.

Over at the dessert store, Maya’s eyes glimmered with excitement the moment she saw the wide array of colorful and yummy desserts laid out at the counter.

To a small girl like her, such simple joy was heaven. Her mouth watered as she stared at the cheesecake. It had been a long time since she last indulged in desserts.

“Mommy, can I have a bigger piece?” she implored.

Nina rolled her eyes and smacked her lips when she heard her sister’s request. “You’ll gain more weight if you keep eating. You’ll become as big as a bear and you won’t be able to walk at this rate.”

Maya took a look at herself and let off a disgruntled scoff. It was true that she was on the fleshier side and that she had a small belly, but she felt Nina was exaggerating when she said Maya would not be able to walk.

“Yeah, yeah, I know you’re slim. You’re so slim you look like a monkey, like a stick, like a wire, like a spaghetti!” she derided.

Nina blinked her eyes sarcastically at her and looked at Maya in the eyes. “I might be a spaghetti, but I’m proud of myself!”

“You!” Maya pouted her lips and thought of how she could retaliate.

It was not like she could say she was proud of being an overweight bear.

She was lost for words.

“Both of you need to stop fighting. Maya, Nina’s words are harsh, but they are well-intended. Why not we eat less this time, but I promise to bring you here again?” Nicole suggested.

Maya thought about what her mother said and nodded obediently.

After having their picks, the three took their desserts and went over to the dining area. Maya stole a look at Nina and emulated how she ate like a fine lady, taking one small bite at a time.

Nicole smiled at Maya and patted her on the head. She knew Maya wanted to lose weight, but it was too difficult for her to say no to her cravings.
