Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 954

Nina also spun around and glanced at her. “This is so shameful! Grandpa won’t agree.”

Not only did Kyle look at her like she was an alien, but Maya was also very shocked and confused, her
large eyes blinking continuously.

They did not understand why a girl like Avril would want to stay with an old man like their grandpa.

When Avril noticed the four children’s intense gazes on her, she immediately blushed and explained,
“No, it’s not that. I don’t want to stay with your grandpa. I just want to stay somewhere nearer to him.”

“Nearer to him? Are you intending to pester Grandpa?”

“Yeah!”

Avril was at a loss for how to explain because Maya and Nina were right. It was true that she wanted to
get closer to Stephen, so there was no need for her to deny it.

As she wished, Nicole arranged for her to stay in a room adjacent to Stephen’s. Avril was very grateful
for that.

While the four children returned to their respective bedrooms, Nicole and Evan also headed to theirs.

Nicole thoughtfully prepared Evan’s pajamas for him. Just when they were about to bathe, his phone
suddenly rang.

It was a call from Jensen. He quickly accepted the call and asked, “What happened?”

“Mr. Seet, Susan jumped into the river.”

Evan’s expression turned solemn as he narrowed his eyes. “Is she dead?”



“The river is not deep, but we just can’t find her corpse. The police are still searching for her. We don’t
know if she’s drowned or escaped.”

“Continue searching. I want to see her regardless of whether she’s alive or dead.”

“Yes, Mr. Seet!”

After hanging up the call, Evan reminded Nicole to bring a few bodyguards along when she went out
and to beware of Susan.

Is Evan suspecting Susan?

An idea surfaced in Nicole’s mind as she deliberately asked, “But Susan saved your life! Why should I
beware of her?”

Evan’s expression darkened. Those words, ‘saved your life’ sounded extremely unpleasant to his ears.

He had already investigated what happened during the fire and found out that Susan had inflicted those
burns on her body herself!

Evan gathered his thoughts and gazed at Nicole for a while. As this was a beautiful night, he did not
want to talk to her about Susan.

Pulling her into his arms, he said, “Honey, let’s go and bathe!”

With that, he gently carried her into the bathroom.

Snuggling against his firm and muscular chest, Nicole felt extremely happy.

As Avril could not fall asleep in her bedroom, she secretly crept to Stephen’s room. She reached out
her arm and hesitantly knocked on his door.



“Who’s that?”

Stephen’s deep voice sounded. Knowing that he was not asleep yet, Avril felt a bit excited.

However, she did not dare to specify who she was or respond, afraid that Stephen would refuse to
open the door if he knew it was her. After a short while, she reached out her hand again and knocked
on the door.

Stephen finally opened the door. When he saw her, he was taken aback.

“Why are you here?”

“Well, it’s me. Can I talk to you?” Avril’s shyness was very obvious.

Stephen was stunned before replying, “Come in then.”

Avril followed him into his room and casually sat on a soft couch.

The room Nicole arranged for Stephen to stay in was very spacious. As she scanned the room, her
gaze eventually landed on a coffee machine.

“You can even brew coffee in your bedroom?”

“Yes. Would you like a cup of coffee?”

She nodded. Hence, Stephen personally brewed a cup of coffee and brought it to her.

“Thank you!”

Avril took the cup from his hands and sipped the drink. Enjoying the rich aroma of the coffee, she
nodded in satisfaction.



“Why did you look for me?” Stephen casually sat on the couch opposite her, crossed his legs, and
stared at her broodingly.

After thinking about it, Avril replied, “I can’t sleep, so I just want to chat with you. You won’t chase me
away, will you?”

Stephen pondered about it as he looked at her. “What do you want to talk to me about?”

Gripping the cup tightly, Avril suddenly became quite nervous. She took a deep breath and steeled
herself before asking.
