Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 630

“Nonetheless, she suffered so much because of our forbidden relationship,” Stephen said with a sigh. “She didn’t want to do it, but she ended the relationship somehow.”

Nicole noticed the sadness in his eyes and pursed her lips.

What if Mom had known that he was from the Musgrave family? Would she still be so madly in love with him?

I’ll never know the answer to that question.

Besides, the one who ended the relationship with a white lie had been Mom, not Sir Musgrave or his family…I don’t think it’ll be fair to say that he abandoned her.

Nicole continued to stare at her mother’s painting, thinking about just how much Rosalie had loved Stephen.

Her marriage to Zane Lane was probably just the final movement of her act, since it was the nail in the coffin to make Stephen lose all hope.

Rosalie’s love for Stephen had hurt her deeply.

She had wanted to sacrifice her happiness to give Stephen what he deserved as the son of a duke, but the truth turned out to be very different.

Stephen and Portia did not have any kids together, and he spent his days staring at Rosalie’s painting in this corner of the estate.

Nicole found their love almost suffocating.

Even though she did not know if her parents had done the right thing or not, she knew for a fact that she could never make such a huge sacrifice for the person she loved.

Nonetheless, she no longer hated Stephen.

However, she still found it difficult to call him ‘Dad’, for he had a part to play in her mother’s suffering.

“I’ll visit your mother, Nicole,” Stephen promised.

Nicole remained silent, though she no longer tried to force him into apologizing at her mother’s grave.

She turned to face Evan. “Shall we go home now, Mr. Seet?”

Wait…she’ wants to leave now?

Why is she so eager to leave?

“Nicole, can you stay here for a few days? You could keep…keep your mother company,” Stephen pleaded.
