Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1046

Maya didn’t say anything.

She turned to the empty room, then to the empty closet. I’m not really in a position to say anything right
now. Daddy has already gone out of his way to show me that there’s no one else in here. That means
that either I made a mistake, or that person has already hidden really well. There’s no point in asking
under either circumstance.




“Oh, then rest well, daddy.”

“Okay.”

After Maya left, Evan closed the door and locked it before he headed into the washroom.



Nicole stared. An awkward smile crept up on her lips.



Evan frowned and demanded, “It’s late. Why did you sneak into my room?”

Nicole’s lips never said a word but the gears in her head were turning. I came in to check your pulse. I
want to estimate when your poison will act up again, and learn how long you can survive.



Nicole hesitated for a moment before she forced a grin on and lied, “Mr. Seet, I-I was sleepwalking and
went into the wrong room.”



Evan narrowed his eyes. “Sleepwalking? So you’re dreaming?” asked Evan as he approached her slowly
and dangerously.



Nicole backed away. She didn’t know what Evan’s words meant, nor did she know what he was thinking.

“Well, since you’re dreaming, then let’s do it together.”

What the hell? I-is he saying that he wants to sleep with me?

Nicole hadn’t even really registered what Evan was saying before he dragged her into his arms. She
struggled for a bit. She couldn’t break free, but her eyes soon shone with inspiration, so she asked, “Mr.
Seet, you’re still not sure whether I am your wife, so it’s a little inappropriate for you to treat me this way,
isn’t it?”

“I’m only acting this way because you served yourself up on a silver platter. Besides, now’s the perfect
time to prove your words,” replied Evan. He picked her up immediately after and walked to their bed to
lay her down gently on the soft bed. Seconds later, he was on top of her.

Nicole thought something was amiss. She laid in Evan’s arms and could feel his heart thumping quickly
and healthily. The way he held her and kissed her showed that he was strong as well. There was no sign
of him being poisoned, and it didn’t seem like his life was hanging by a thread.



What’s going on?

“Evan Seet, y-you weren’t poisoned, were you?” asked Nicole as she reached out to grab Evan’s wrist.
She was going to check his pulse.

Shoot! The situation will be bad if Nicole realizes that I have been lying to her. I…



Evan coughed profusely and spoke breathlessly, “I gave it my all earlier. Don’t make any sudden moves,
or I will honestly break down.”

Nicole couldn’t speak.

He does sound weak.

Nicole then pushed him as hard as she could, and Evan deliberately stumbled backward, then fell onto
the floor.

Evan turned to Nicole, who was still lying on the bed, and demanded, “You pushed me so mercilessly
even after I told you that I am weak? Did you come to my room in the middle of the night to try to hurt
me?”

Nicole was speechless.

What the hell? The old saying was wrong. Karma doesn’t exist, and that is why my kind intentions were
being repaid with accusations. Darn it, I came just to check his pulse but end up being accused of
attempted murder! Gah, this is so wrong.

“Quit bullsh*tting. I was sleepwalking and went into the wrong room.”

“Did you though?” asked Evan as he got up with “great difficulty” then walked toward her.

Nicole could tell that he was fine, so she quickly left his bedroom. A soft slam later, the door to the
bedroom was closed.

Evan’s lips curved into a mischievous grin. He checked his own pulse and concluded that it was indeed
showing how healthy he was. Nicole will definitely figure out that I am faking everything if she checks my
pulse.



The important question is this, though. Did Nicole sneak into my room in the middle of the night because
she suspects that I am not poisoned? Or did she do so purely because she was worried? Looks like I will
have to be more careful.

With Maya’s nutritious meals helping Nicole, the latter’s appetite got better, but her health remained poor.

Under normal circumstances, improved appetite usually led to improved health, but Nicole still looked
restless and sickly.

Evan got worried, so he called the doctor over when Maya left for her culinary class.

Nicole was cooperative when the doctor dropped by to examine her body. She wanted to become
healthier because that’d allow her to see her kids and care for Evan.

After the examination, the doctor stared at her and advised her to rest well. Adequate sleep was crucial
for her.
