Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 27

The next day, Nicole arrived at Hillside Villa on time, to treat Kyle.

She was surprised when Evan sat aside and watched the entire treatment, his gaze fixated on her.

Why isn’t Lucifer at his office today?

Did he suspect something after Kyle had sneaked out and got replaced by Juan? Nicole pondered, deep in thought.

Suddenly, Evan let out a cold snort. “Dr. Tussaud, what are you scheming now?”

Of course, Nicole didn’t know what he had meant. She replied casually, “Oh, nothing.”

She then continued her acupuncture treatment.

Kyle silently endured the pain and was cooperative throughout the entire process of treatment.

The little boy rolled up his sleeves and gave her his little arm while shifting closer to her.

Kyle was usually indifferent, so this was the first time that Evan had ever seen him be this cooperative.

She’s good, huh? Kyle even listens to her!

Evan was certain that Kyle had ordered those dishes last night because she had tricked him!

After the acupuncture treatment, Kyle rose to his feet. He was flabbergasted to see Evan at home, instead of heading to work.

“Dad, won’t you go to work?”

Evan didn’t respond to his question. Instead, he gazed at Nicole before asking, “Does she still practice hacking skills with you?”

No, we’ve changed that to playing outside for two hours. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

However, since Kyle couldn’t be honest with Evan, he nodded and replied, “Yes.”

“There’s no need for her to go to such lengths. I’ll find someone else to practice with you. Escort her out after the daily acupuncture treatment!”

Evan’s decision shocked both Kyle and Nicole.

Is he limiting the time that I get to spend with Kyle?

Why would he do that?

Before she could ask, Evan had already told her, “You can leave now!”

Damn, this is simply too sudden!

“Dad, I want to practice with her,” Kyle announced abruptly.

Evan shot him a furious glare. “You don’t like her, right? Then, you should stay away from her!”

He then met Nicole’s gaze. “Dr. Tussaud, your job for the day is done. Please leave now.”

Evan’s stance was firm, offering no room for negotiation.

Nicole was speechless at his decisiveness.

She had wanted to argue with Evan, but she knew it would be futile. Her words would possibly cause him to feel offended.

If he gets offended and stops letting me treat Kyle, that’ll be worse, right?

At that thought, Nicole had no choice but to leave.

As she was forced to leave, Kyle couldn’t even sneak out, to investigate his Mommy. Anger and displeasure appeared on his usually stoic face.

He turned around willfully, refusing to acknowledge Evan.

His reaction only served to make Evan increasingly certain of his decision.

He then decided that he would watch the treatment every round so that he could send Nicole out after that, meaning that she wouldn’t have the chance to trick Kyle.

Upon leaving Hillside Villa, the fury in Nicole’s heart intensified like wildfire.

She couldn’t help but let out a string of curses. “Evan Seet, you b*stard! Pervert! Crazy!”

After cursing her heart out, she heaved heavy breaths as she patted her chest. That’s so annoying!

At night, she was still deep in thought as she prepared dinner.

As she washed the ingredients, she pondered, Kyle wants to play outdoors. Is there any way to fulfill his wish?

How can I bring him out, without alerting Evan?

She was frowning when Juan suddenly walked in.

“Mommy, when can I see Kyle again? I want to compare my hacking skills with his.”

Nicole snapped back to reality. That’s a little hard, Juan, she thought. Evan’s even watching me now!

She paused before sighing, saying, “Not soon, I’m afraid.”

“Why? I can sneak in like I had done the last time.”

“Sneak in—” Nicole repeated before trailing off.

Yes!

If Juan can sneak in, then…

Her eyes lit up as she gazed at Juan sternly, “Can you help Mommy again?”

“What is it?” asked Juan.
