Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo -
Chapter 509
Last night, he was obviously sent away.
Quickening her pace, she hastily walked into the living room. She saw that the person beside Maya was indeed Yoda, thus proving beyond all doubts that her eyesight was not impaired!
Damn, I have just sent him off last night and he dares to come back today?
Is he genuinely trying to taunt me?
Did he take her words as mere passing winds?
How despicable!
Rushing over and standing in front of Yoda, Nicole glared at him fiercely and questioned, “Who asked you to come back?”
Yoda glanced at each of the four children in front of him, wondering who he should push under the bus.
Maya?
Juan?
Kyle?
Yoda coughed and gazed at Nina.
Nicole turned her head and followed his gaze. Zeroing in on Nina, her expression sank as she blurted out, “Nina! Are you the one who asked him to come back?”
Nina was speechless. Obviously, it was their brilliant idea which they cooked up together. Why was she the one shouldering the blame now?
Rolling her eyes, she looked at Juan with an unspeakable expression.
“Juan, so it’s you?”
Huh?
The blame was shifted so suddenly and had now landed on him.
Juan crossed his arms as his clear eyes took a round trip before landing on Kyle.
Kyle had expected Juan to direct his gaze at him. Hence he was fully prepared to own up.
Out of the blue, Maya, whose mouth was full of cheese, suddenly stood up.
“Mommy, I want Yoda to stay. Don’t you send him away, okay?”
Nicole looked intently at Maya, then glanced at the rest of her children.
Among these cubs, Maya was the honest one. Even though she did not want to disappoint Maya, she had her principles and should stick to her word.
“Maya, it is not good for Yoda to stay. Let him go, okay? Mommy will replace you all a new play buddy tomorrow.”
Maya rubbed her plump little hands gingerly as her dark eyes turned around. A bright idea suddenly popped into her head as she steadied herself to put her brilliant notion into motion.
Plonking herself to the floor, she opened her mouth and started to wail. Tears streamed down her cheeks like a curtain of rain.
“Maya, get up. The floor is cold,” advised Nicole.
“If Mommy doesn’t allow Yoda to stay, then I won’t get up. I’ll continue crying. Boo hoo hoo…”
“Maya, are you threatening your own mother?” Nicole walked over and tried to pick her up.
Flailing her hands and feet around, Maya struggled to keep Nicole away.
Yoda meanwhile walked over to her and picked her up. Maya clung to his neck firmly without letting go.
“Mommy, just let Yoda stay. Look at how badly Maya is crying.”
“That’s right. Mommy, don’t you feel heartbroken watching Maya bawling her eyes out?”
Nicole felt conflicted deep inside her heart.
After all, Maya was her flesh and blood. How could she not feel distressed seeing her cry?
All these conflicts and dilemmas – all because of Yoda!
If it weren’t for him, Maya would not be like this.
Furthermore, Maya was not as clever as the other three kids. Was she being instigated to do so by Yoda?
If this were the case, it was really terrible of him to resort to even manipulating the children in order to stay. She had to be on her guard from now on!
Okay. I’ll let him stay for the time being on behalf of Maya.
However, don’t even think of getting off so easily!
Just wait and see!
Nicole proceeded to console, “Maya, don’t you cry. Mommy agrees to let Yoda stay. Let him play with you all from now on, okay?”
Upon hearing Nicole agreeing, Maya instantly stopped crying.
In between her sobs, she asked, “Mommy, will you keep your words?”
“Of course! I’ll keep my promise!”
Immediately after saying that, Nicole looked up and gave Yoda a death glare.
That glare made Yoda felt uneasy.
Obviously, she was definitely unwilling but was forced to let him stay.
With her temper and way of handling matters, she definitely would not tolerate him for long. However, he was really curious as to how far this would go and what she had in store for him.
Maya got down from Yoda’s arms and was soon surrounded by the other three children, each could not help but secretly gave her a thumbs up.
“Such an unexpected outcome! We certainly did not know that Maya had it in her to pull off this kind of stunt. She really did manage to make Mommy agree to let Yoda stay.”
This was the first time that Maya had been praised by her brothers and sister. Needless to say, she was over the moon.
As her twitching mouth was about to burst into a grin, her eyes caught the sight of Nicole’s unpleasant face. Instantly she became timid and lowered her head.
“That’s enough. All of you go wash your hands and prepare for your meal.”
