Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
Chapter 567

According to his plan, the round-shaped object would rolled away from the pavilion toward Daphne when she reached the area later.

As for himself, he would act like he only passed by the area by chance. When he spotted the rolling ball, he would lunge forward and stop it from hitting Daphne. Then, he would pretend to be injured because of the ball.

The final part of the plan, which was also the most crucial one, involved convincing her to seek help from her acupuncture master. In that way, Evan would be able to replace out her master’s identity and to see whether he was Nicole’s biological father.

While waiting for Daphne the protagonist, he used the time to run through every step of his plan in his mind to familiarize with them.

He glanced at his watch and reckoned Daphne was on her way over to the garden.

Immediately, he hid himself somewhere off the beaten track.

Eight minutes later, Daphne indeed arrived at the garden as per his expectation.

Just as Daphne was reaching the middle of the garden, the huge ball indeed rolled out from the pavilion at a high speed in her direction.

Meanwhile, Nicole was stupefied when she saw that. Just moments earlier, she caught Evan staring at the round-shaped object, but she had no idea that the thing would move by itself and charge toward Daphne all of a sudden.

Is Evan actually trying to injure Daphne to avenge my grievance instead of seducing her?

A surge of warmth filled up her heart in an instant. Just as she was straining her eyes to see whether the round-shaped object was going to hit Daphne, Evan suddenly materialized out of nowhere and grabbed the ball to stop it from hitting Daphne.

Seeing his reaction, Nicole’s eyes widened in shock.

Seems like I was overthinking just now. This is nothing but a well-planned scheme of Evan made in an attempt to seduce Daphne!

Daphne, who was scared stiff by the rolling ball, gaped at Evan in consternation.

“I-It’s you again?”

“Yes.” Evan nodded at her.

“Bring more bodyguards over here now!”

After giving out the instruction to the maids, Daphne approached Evan.

“Are you alright?” she asked him worryingly.

“I’m fine!”

“It must have been fate that you happened to be here and saved my life, don’t you think so?”

The way Daphne stared at him was full of affection.

Evan did not answer her.

This isn’t fate but a pre-arranged show!

Several bodyguards rushed to the scene in order to move the huge ball back to the pavilion. Noticing that Evan was flinging his arms uncomfortably, Daphne asked, “Are you injured?”

“It’s nothing serious.”

“You’re injured because of me… Now, please follow me back to my room and I’ll get the doctor to check out your condition.”

Evan hesitated for a second. His plan would be a success if Daphne were going to get her acupuncture master to give him treatment.

While watching them go, Nicole was tearing the petals in her hands into pieces resentfully.

I must say Evan’s plan is quite brilliant. After what took place just now, I’m sure Daphne is going to see him as her benefactor from now on.

So, this is how he made Daphne see him as her benefactor and lust after him.

Unable to accept Evan’s behavior, Nicole hurried off to catch up with them.

Evan Seet, don’t you think you can keep me in the dark of what you’re going to do to Daphne because I’ve witnessed everything!

I have to make sure he knows I was there just now!

On their way back to Daphne’s room, she asked, “Hector, how long have you been working as the bodyguard here?”

“I’m a new recruit.”

“No wonder. I don’t remember seeing such a good-looking bodyguard like you before this.”

Evan remained silent and did not respond to her comment.

If it weren’t because he needed to track down Nicole’s biological father as soon as possible so that they could bring the kids home earlier, he would rather not have anything to do with a woman like Daphne.

Would Nicole be touched when she knew that he had made such a huge sacrifice for her sake?

“Hector, have you ever thought of being promoted to much better role than the bodyguard?”

Evan shook his head.

Although he had been maintaining a poker-faced expression, he did respond to her questions.

To Daphne, Evan was much better than Levant who obviously loathed her.

In her opinion, he could turn out to be the type of man who was quiet but knew how to express his love through actions.

“Whoever gets to be your wife will be very happy for the rest of her life,” Daphne remarked all of a sudden.

Evan paused in his tracks. Could John’s prediction turn out to be correct? Is Daphne actually interested in him?

Meanwhile, Nicole was inching closer to them, looking incensed. Suddenly, she froze and stopped moving.

Oh, I’m still an idiot to Daphne!

It would be out of her character if she just strutted over and blocked their path like a normal person.
