Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 711

“Evan, I heard that you’re getting married. Is it just a rumor?”

“Negative.” Evan shook his head.

“So it’s real then?” Stephen expressed his astonishment.

Evan’s answer was brief and simple. “Yes.”

“Who are you marrying? Don’t you love Nicole?”

I’m marrying someone I can’t refuse.

Evan was certain that the one he loved was Nicole.

Thoughts flickered through his mind as he forced out a response. “Nicole would be happier without me and the memories we shared.”

Stephen took a while to ponder the situation before he asked, “Evan, does this mean you’re giving up on her?”

Giving up.

The two words Evan did not want to hear nor think about.

I had no choice. This was the only way. Maybe Nicole not remembering anything was a blessing in disguise. Now, she won’t feel anything when she finds out I’m marrying Susan.

“I wish her all the best.”

Evan had so many things he wanted to say at that moment, but those were the only words he could manage.

I… I can’t say any more than that.

Silence ensued as Stephen stared at him. It reminded Stephen of the time he broke up with Rosalie.

Stephen recognized the look on Evans’s face. He was reluctant but helpless, forced to endure it all.

“Fate is cruel,” Stephen stated after standing up.

Upon seeing the duke about to leave, Evan stopped him, hoping to ask for a favor.

“I won’t be by her side from now on, so please be wary of someone for Nicole’s sake.

“Who?”

“Your wife.”

Stephen paused.

Evan would not say that without reason, and Stephen knew it. He knew Portia’s personality very well.

Evan Seet, you still care about her.

“I understand,” Stephen replied as he turned to leave. The man had a lot on his mind.

After the duke left, Evan stood by the window. The faint city lights shining onto his imposing figure, accenting his lonely silhouette.
