Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 622

Stephen Musgrave seemed to have a story of his own.

Evan believed that the duke had his reasons for leaving Nicole’s mother back then.

Nicole snorted at the duke’s reply and asked, “Then should the jerk kneel and apologize in front of the woman’s grave whom he had abandoned?”

The pain and suffering that her mother had endured while giving birth to her and her dire circumstances back then could never be compensated even if the man before her came crawling and apologize at her mother’s grave.

The duke seemed to resonate with Nicole’s feelings.

One of the deepest regrets in his life was not being able to get together with Rosalie.

He was stumped for a moment and looked at Nicole. “I will go visit your mother.” He did not beat around the bush further.

She no longer restrained herself since the duke had already gone straight to the point.

“If you’re not going to kneel and apologize, there’s no point for you to go visit her! My mother does not want to see you!” Nicole growled at him.

“Nicole, I understand how you feel. The relationship between your mother and I is one of the deepest regrets of my life.”

“Your deepest regret? More like the most unfortunate thing to ever happen to my mother!”

All of a sudden, memories came flashing before her eyes. Memories of her mother staring blankly at the sky; memories of her mother being silent most of the time; memories of her mother’s look of despair; memories of her mother’s depression…

All of which had to do with the man before her.

All the unfortunate events that befell her mother was because the man whom her mother loved the most abandoned her. The pain inflicted upon her would haunt her short-lived life.

Is Mom’s encounter with this man a fortunate or unfortunate event?

The duke fell silent and did not say another word. Stumped, Nicole turned around to leave.

Evan rose and looked at the duke. “Could you disclose whatever happened back then?”

Stephen did not reply. He merely said, “Take good care of her.” Then, he took his leave as well.

“She will never be able to move on if you don’t tell her.”

Evan said as he saw the duke turn around. Stephen halted his steps for a moment before leaving.

Evan noticed Nicole staring at the night sky with reddened eyes as soon as he got inside the car.

He knew she must have thought about her mother again.
