Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 729

He’s here to relive his memories? With his ex? I should’ve known…

Nicole’s initial joyful expression slipped away, and it was replaced with a dull look as she stared down at the wreath in her hands.

Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, Susan suggested, “Ms. Lane, let’s go see the children.”

“Yeah.” Nicole nodded and followed the other woman toward the rockery.

There was a pond beside the rockery. Susan watched the children playing gleefully with an intent expression on her face.

After a moment, Nina suddenly tripped on a pebble that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. She staggered a few steps before falling into the pond with a loud splash.

“Nina!” Susan screamed.

In the next instant, she leaped into the pond.

Evan came running over at the shout. When he saw the two struggling figures in the pond, he immediately jumped in to save them.

“Evan, save Nina first!”

The words had barely left Susan’s lips when Evan scooped Nina into his arms. He quickly swam toward the shoreline and placed his daughter down.

By the time he turned back to rescue Susan, she had already fallen unconscious from ingesting too much water.

He swiftly put her on the ground and started to perform CPR on her. Nicole and the children watched on worriedly from the sidelines. After several tries, water dribbled from Susan’s lips as she coughed violently.

Her eyelids fluttered open. The first thing out of her mouth was, “Evan, is Nina okay?” Her voice was very weak and her words were barely audible.

Evan’s expression was serious while confusion swirled in his gaze.

“Nina’s fine. Susan, why did you jump in when you don’t know how to swim?”

A wan smile curved her lips. “I was so worried I didn’t think about that. Nina is your child, which means she’s mine as well. When I saw her in danger, the only thing I could think of was rescuing her immediately!”

“Susan…”

Evan took off his own jacket and draped it across her drenched form. Then, he made a call to have someone bring over some clothes.

Susan leaned against his chest, a blissful smile on her face.

Standing off to the side, a bitter feeling encompassed Nicole.
