Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
Evan was stunned.
Upon contemplating Davin’s words, he asked incredulously, “Are you for real?”
“Yes. I bet you’re surprised too, huh? I was really reluctant to believe it when I first heard it too. All the
while, I had thought that our father was not the type to chase after fame and fortune. How did he end up
doing that kind of mistake? I finally understood the reason Grandpa had chosen to cultivate you to inherit
the company instead of Dad. To err is human, and even though he was in the wrong, it was not an
unforgivable mistake, per se. Having said that, it’s pointless to reprimand him for this. I think he must
have suffered in remorse for what he had done…”
Evan’s eyes darkened after listening to Davin’s lament.
He knew that it must have been really difficult for the Seet Group to expand to this extent. However, it still
baffled him how the group had actually undergone a dark phase of resorting to unscrupulous means, and
even murder, to accomplish its means back then.
Evan knew that his father must have been blinded by the greed for fame and fortune that he chose to
forgo his own principles, harming Sam and the Marston family as a result.
No matter the reason, Evan knew that the Seets owed it to the Marstons.
Hence, it did not come as a surprise that Monica was demanding revenge from the Marstons.
“What are you and Kyle planning to do?”
“Evan, Kyle told me to just go along with Monica to let her vent her frustration and grudges. He will come
up with something to hopefully resolve the resentment in three days’ time.”
Evan’s brows creased in response. How can he come up with anything in just three days’ time?
After hanging up the phone, Evan called Kyle to ask how the latter was planning to deal with the issue.
“Daddy, you know about it already?”
“Kyle, how do you plan to resolve the age-old grudge? Have you come up with any ideas already?” Evan
did not beat around the bush and queried Kyle directly.
“No, I have not. But, I recently found out that Monica is not feeling well. I don’t think she has got much
time left.”
“Is it a terminal illness?”
“It could be due to poisoning too. But she’s been keeping the news under the radar that not even those
around her know about it. Damien had only found out when spying on her.”
“So, are you planning to start from here?”
“Yes, as long as there is a way to save her life, it’s still something we should aim for.”
“Kai, do you want me to go to you?”
“It’s okay, Daddy. Just accompany Mommy by her side and let me handle this.”
Evan started to feel like Kyle was already a grown-up, a man who had a mind of his own. It’s time for him
to get him exposed to the real world.
“All right, then. Just give me a call should anything happen.”
“Sure, Daddy.”
With a grim look on his face, Evan headed back to the bedroom. He was greeted by a pale-faced Nicole
who just came out of the bathroom. He approached her right away and asked with a concerned tone,
“Nicole, are you not feeling well?”
“I’m okay. I just feel a little nauseated.” She then lowered her head and caressed her belly. “This little guy
is already a little torment. I bet he’s a naughty little boy!”
Evan looked dotingly at her and reached out to caress her belly gently as well. “There, there. That’s
enough kicking around inside your Mommy’s belly.”
Amused, Nicole laughed at his demeanor. “It’s going to be a miracle if he could understand you. He’s not
even bigger than the size of my palm right now, actually.”
“I keep dreaming about the baby these days, about how he’s calling me and you Daddy and Mommy as
he blinks his innocent and iridescent eyes. He looks remarkably like the combination of Kyle and Nina,
and has our greatest features. One look and you’ll definitely recognize the baby as our child!”
Nicole knew right then that Evan was really anticipating the child’s birth.
“What if he looks nothing like you?” Nicole asked deliberately as she batted her eyelids innocently.
“Nah, that’s not possible. I talk to him every day. How dare he not resemble me?” Evan buoyed with
confidence.
