Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo -
Chapter 572
Nicole could feel Evan’s gaze driving through her as he eyed her from head to the toe.
It was not long before he finally commented, “It makes total sense why these four turn out to be weirdos.”
Nicole glared at him from the corner of his eyes as she thought about what he said.
You make it sound like it’s all because of me? It’s not like I can have kids on my own?
You can’t just blame everything on me!
Nicole looked at her cake nonchalantly and dug her fork into it. “Stop acting like you don’t know they inherited your genes. Who knows if your genes are faulty?”
Evan leaned closer and ogled at her. “Well, we’ll know if there’s a problem with my genes if we have a few more kids.”
Beside him, Nicole drove her fork right into the middle of the cake. “Get lost!”
She was still mad at Evan and there was no way she would want to sleep with him.
“Can’t y’all just eat properly? What a waste of food!” she reprimanded the kids.
The four of them looked at one another, thinking why Nicole would lash out at them because of desserts.
Desserts were meant to be eaten and they totally did not see why Mommy was angry.
Nina decided to just stop eating and put down her cutlery. “Fine, I’m not eating anymore. Why not we go get some makeup stuff?” she asked Nicole.
“Okay!” Nicole replied curtly.
After they were done having desserts, Evan went over to the counter and ordered two more cakes for takeaway for Maya.
Maya jumped around him happily, saying Evan was the best Daddy on earth.
Later on, he got Nina her makeup stuff and even bought Juan and Kyle some of the latest toys. After a whole day of shopping, the family went home with their car full of shopping bags.
When Daphne found out about it, she immediately went to the duchess with a litany of complaints. After all, Daphne had always hated Nicole and her four kids.
“Aunt Portia, don’t you think this woman is too vain and irresponsible? All she knows is to bring the kids in and out of the estate and shop to their heart’s content!”
The Duchess sighed in agreement. “Sometimes I wonder what Levant sees in her.”
She could not wrap her head around how a woman of four children could even dream of being a part of the Musgrave family. It was obvious that she had Levant under her spell that he could not even think straight.
“Aunt Portia, you have to do something. People in the estate have been gossiping about this. Imagine what will people make of the Musgrave family if they hear about these rumors!” Daphne incited.
Portia could not agree more with what she said. The Duchess simply could not imagine what people would say about her if they found out that her son had fallen for a woman like Nicole.
The next day, she rose early and paid Nicole a visit at her house.
Daphne followed along, anticipating a good show so she could jeer at her.
She had never seen Levant being this nice to any woman in her entire life. If Levant really loved her, he would leave the estate out of anger if Nicole got chased out.
If that were to happen, she would inherit the duke’s title.
Daphne had been brewing her plan all along and she could not wait to seek Hector’s advice on what to do next when she saw him again.
He must have left suddenly because he was startled. She bet he would come back to her after he thought things through thoroughly.
The fact that Hector risked his life to save her meant he genuinely cared for her.
She was certain he would be a great help to her. After all, he had feelings for her and no one could resist the status that came along with marrying into the Musgrave family. Daphne felt they were meant to be.
Levant, you only have yourself to blame for what’s gonna happen to you. You betrayed me and there will be a reckoning.
I will make sure you live to see a man far more superior than you taking the title you’ve always coveted. And he will be the man that I choose to spend the rest of my life with.
The four kids were playing happily when Portia and Daphne arrived.
Hearing their high-pitched screams and laughter, the duchess could not help but put on an irritated frown.
“How atrocious! I can’t believe these brats have turned a majestic estate into a nursery home. These unruly kids don’t deserve to stay here,” she commented with a high and mighty tone.
“I can’t agree more, Aunt Portia. We really need to get rid of this uncultured lot,” Daphne said, adding fuel to the fire.
She knew she had to leverage the duchess’ rage against Nicole and the children so they would be chased out as soon as possible.
“Come over here,” the duchess shouted at the kids.
Hearing the duchess’ beckoning, the kids stopped and turned their heads towards her.
They were startled to see the duchess, Daphne, and a few other servants walking towards them. Judging from the way Portia looked, the kids knew they were up to no good.
