Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1121

As obedient and sweet as ever, Maya nodded and pledged, “Daddy, I promise I will stay near to the both
of you forever.”

Nicole smiled after listening to Maya’s heartwarming words. Of course, having both girls by their side
would be the most ideal scenario. However, if their Mr. Rights turned out to be someone who lived far
away from their city, she would not stop them from leaving too. As long as the guy treated her daughter
well and was able to make her happy, she was willing to compromise.




“Daddy, Mommy, I-I have nothing to say because marriage isn’t on my agenda yet. I’m done eating, so I’ll
go and get changed now.” With that, Nina left the dining table and walked away.

Watching Nina’s back, Nicole contemplated how antsy Nina looked when she answered them. For some
reason, she had a feeling that something was bugging Nina.

After Maya left for her room, Evan asked Nicole for her opinion on Nina’s sudden change in attitude.



The image of how Nina fumbled with the hem of her shirt earlier popped up in Nicole’s mind. “I think
something’s been bothering Nina. I’ll keep an eye on her for the next two days.”



“You do that” Evan nodded. “I’m heading to the office now. Just phone me if there are any issues.”

“Sure. Please drive carefully.”





Evan caressed Nicole’s head gently and was off to work. In the meantime, Nicole headed back to the
master bedroom. Just after she finished eating some supplement pills, she heard someone knocking on
the door.

“Come in.”



Maya strode in, her sparkling eyes blinking at Nicole. With a toothy grin, she took one of Nicole’s arms
and proposed, “Mommy, don’t you think the weather is marvelous? Since it’s the weekend and I don’t
have to go to school, shall we go on a shopping trip?”

“A shopping trip?” Nicole pondered over Maya’s suggestion before saying, “Why don’t you invite Aunt
Sheila to go with you? Mommy wants to stay at home to keep Nina’s company.”

“Mommy, Nina is coming too.”

Not only Nina was joining their shopping trip, but she was also actually the one who proposed that idea.
Thinking that Nina wanted some fresh air to clear her mind, Maya approved her idea without hesitation
and agreed to help her propose the idea to Mommy.

Nicole was worried when she learned that Nina wanted to go out too. Could she be up to some mischief?

“What’s the matter, Mommy? Do you feel like staying at home instead? It’s alright because I can go with
Nina by myself.”

If an emergency situation arises later, Maya won’t be able to deal with it. So, I have to be there with them
by hook or by crook!

“I’m going. Go and invite your Aunt Sheila too. The more the merrier,” Nicole said.

“Hooray! Let me go and get changed first. We’ll set off when Aunt Sheila gets here.”



After accomplishing her mission, Maya headed straight to Nina’s room to tell her the good news.

“Get dressed now! We’ll go when you’re done!”

Nina was overjoyed deep down inside to hear that. “I will. Thanks, Maya.”

“It’s no biggie. In fact, I’ve been thinking of going out to get some fresh air too. Well, I’m off to get
changed now.”

Maya scampered her way out of Nina’s room, looking exhilarated.

In fact, it was not Nina’s plan to depart so soon. However, Chris, who thought it was safer for them to
leave sooner rather than later, urged her to carry out his plan sooner through messages. That was the
reason why Nina was forced to come up with the shopping trip idea. In her opinion, she would have the
chance to sneak off and meet Chris as long as she was outside.

She immediately whipped out her phone and texted Chris, telling him that her plan to leave Imperial
Garden was a success.

Nina: I’m going to Azara Mall later together with Mommy and Maya. Just wait for me somewhere nearby.
I’ll find a chance to sneak off and meet you.

Nina felt a mixture of anticipation and apprehension after sending the message. She looked forward to
spending every minute and every hour of her life with Chris in the future, but at the same time, she felt
uneasy doing things behind her family’s back and deceiving them in the process.

At last, she decided to see her actions as justified, by thinking that she was doing so to fight for her own
happiness. All the effort she was making at the moment would be worthwhile to ensure a blissful life in
the future. When the right time came, she would be back to apologize to Daddy and Mommy.



After receiving Nina’s message, Chris reminded her to be careful and to bring along all her cosmetic
tools and products, which he said might come in handy.

It did not take Nina too long before she understood why he wanted her to bring them. I’ve been so
preoccupied these days that I’ve forgotten about my expertise. I can always find a chance to change the
way I look with some make-up later! I’m sure Mommy and Maya won’t even notice it when I’m gone…

As obedient and sweet as ever, Maya nodded and pledged, “Daddy, I promise I will stay near to the both

“It’s no biggie. In fact, I’ve been thinking of going out to get some fresh air too. Well, I’m off to get
changed now.”

Maya scampered her way out of Nina’s room, looking exhilarated.



In fact, it was not Nina’s plan to depart so soon. However, Chris, who thought it was safer for them to
leave sooner rather than later, urged her to carry out his plan sooner through messages. That was the
reason why Nina was forced to come up with the shopping trip idea. In her opinion, she would have the
chance to sneak off and meet Chris as long as she was outside.

She immediately whipped out her phone and texted Chris, telling him that her plan to leave Imperial
Garden was a success.

Nina: I’m going to Azara Mall later together with Mommy and Maya. Just wait for me somewhere nearby.
I’ll find a chance to sneak off and meet you.

Nina felt a mixture of anticipation and apprehension after sending the message. She looked forward to
spending every minute and every hour of her life with Chris in the future, but at the same time, she felt
uneasy doing things behind her family’s back and deceiving them in the process.

At last, she decided to see her actions as justified, by thinking that she was doing so to fight for her own
happiness. All the effort she was making at the moment would be worthwhile to ensure a blissful life in
the future. When the right time came, she would be back to apologize to Daddy and Mommy.

After receiving Nina’s message, Chris reminded her to be careful and to bring along all her cosmetic
tools and products, which he said might come in handy.

It did not take Nina too long before she understood why he wanted her to bring them. I’ve been so
preoccupied these days that I’ve forgotten about my expertise. I can always find a chance to change the
way I look with some make-up later! I’m sure Mommy and Maya won’t even notice it when I’m gone…

As obedient and sweet as ever, Maya nodded and pledged, “Daddy, I promise I will stay near to the both
of you forever.”



Nicole smiled after listening to Maya’s heartwarming words. Of course, having both girls by their side
would be the most ideal scenario. However, if their Mr. Rights turned out to be someone who lived far
away from their city, she would not stop them from leaving too. As long as the guy treated her daughter
well and was able to make her happy, she was willing to compromise.

“Daddy, Mommy, I-I have nothing to say because marriage isn’t on my agenda yet. I’m done eating, so I’ll
go and get changed now.” With that, Nina left the dining table and walked away.

Watching Nina’s back, Nicole contemplated how antsy Nina looked when she answered them. For some
reason, she had a feeling that something was bugging Nina.

After Maya left for her room, Evan asked Nicole for her opinion on Nina’s sudden change in attitude.

The image of how Nina fumbled with the hem of her shirt earlier popped up in Nicole’s mind. “I think
something’s been bothering Nina. I’ll keep an eye on her for the next two days.”

“You do that” Evan nodded. “I’m heading to the office now. Just phone me if there are any issues.”

“Sure. Please drive carefully.”

Evan caressed Nicole’s head gently and was off to work. In the meantime, Nicole headed back to the
master bedroom. Just after she finished eating some supplement pills, she heard someone knocking on
the door.

“Come in.”

Maya strode in, her sparkling eyes blinking at Nicole. With a toothy grin, she took one of Nicole’s arms
and proposed, “Mommy, don’t you think the weather is marvelous? Since it’s the weekend and I don’t
have to go to school, shall we go on a shopping trip?”



“A shopping trip?” Nicole pondered over Maya’s suggestion before saying, “Why don’t you invite Aunt
Sheila to go with you? Mommy wants to stay at home to keep Nina’s company.”

“Mommy, Nina is coming too.”

Not only Nina was joining their shopping trip, but she was also actually the one who proposed that idea.
Thinking that Nina wanted some fresh air to clear her mind, Maya approved her idea without hesitation
and agreed to help her propose the idea to Mommy.

Nicole was worried when she learned that Nina wanted to go out too. Could she be up to some mischief?

“What’s the matter, Mommy? Do you feel like staying at home instead? It’s alright because I can go with
Nina by myself.”

If an emergency situation arises later, Maya won’t be able to deal with it. So, I have to be there with them
by hook or by crook!

“I’m going. Go and invite your Aunt Sheila too. The more the merrier,” Nicole said.

“Hooray! Let me go and get changed first. We’ll set off when Aunt Sheila gets here.”

After accomplishing her mission, Maya headed straight to Nina’s room to tell her the good news.

“Get dressed now! We’ll go when you’re done!”

Nina was overjoyed deep down inside to hear that. “I will. Thanks, Maya.”

“It’s no biggie. In fact, I’ve been thinking of going out to get some fresh air too. Well, I’m off to get

“You do that” Evan nodded. “I’m heading to the office now. Just phone me if there are any issues.”

“Sure. Please drive carefully.”

Evan caressed Nicole’s head gently and was off to work. In the meantime, Nicole headed back to the
master bedroom. Just after she finished eating some supplement pills, she heard someone knocking on
the door.

“Come in.”

Maya strode in, her sparkling eyes blinking at Nicole. With a toothy grin, she took one of Nicole’s arms
and proposed, “Mommy, don’t you think the weather is marvelous? Since it’s the weekend and I don’t
have to go to school, shall we go on a shopping trip?”



“A shopping trip?” Nicole pondered over Maya’s suggestion before saying, “Why don’t you invite Aunt
Sheila to go with you? Mommy wants to stay at home to keep Nina’s company.”

“Mommy, Nina is coming too.”

Not only Nina was joining their shopping trip, but she was also actually the one who proposed that idea.
Thinking that Nina wanted some fresh air to clear her mind, Maya approved her idea without hesitation
and agreed to help her propose the idea to Mommy.

Nicole was worried when she learned that Nina wanted to go out too. Could she be up to some mischief?

“What’s the matter, Mommy? Do you feel like staying at home instead? It’s alright because I can go with
Nina by myself.”

If an emergency situation arises later, Maya won’t be able to deal with it. So, I have to be there with them
by hook or by crook!

“I’m going. Go and invite your Aunt Sheila too. The more the merrier,” Nicole said.

“Hooray! Let me go and get changed first. We’ll set off when Aunt Sheila gets here.”

After accomplishing her mission, Maya headed straight to Nina’s room to tell her the good news.

“Get dressed now! We’ll go when you’re done!”

Nina was overjoyed deep down inside to hear that. “I will. Thanks, Maya.”

“It’s no biggie. In fact, I’ve been thinking of going out to get some fresh air too. Well, I’m off to get
changed now.”

Maya scampered her way out of Nina’s room, looking exhilarated.



In fact, it was not Nina’s plan to depart so soon. However, Chris, who thought it was safer for them to
leave sooner rather than later, urged her to carry out his plan sooner through messages. That was the
reason why Nina was forced to come up with the shopping trip idea. In her opinion, she would have the
chance to sneak off and meet Chris as long as she was outside.

She immediately whipped out her phone and texted Chris, telling him that her plan to leave Imperial
Garden was a success.

Nina: I’m going to Azara Mall later together with Mommy and Maya. Just wait for me somewhere nearby.
I’ll find a chance to sneak off and meet you.

Nina felt a mixture of anticipation and apprehension after sending the message. She looked forward to
spending every minute and every hour of her life with Chris in the future, but at the same time, she felt
uneasy doing things behind her family’s back and deceiving them in the process.

At last, she decided to see her actions as justified, by thinking that she was doing so to fight for her own
happiness. All the effort she was making at the moment would be worthwhile to ensure a blissful life in
the future. When the right time came, she would be back to apologize to Daddy and Mommy.

After receiving Nina’s message, Chris reminded her to be careful and to bring along all her cosmetic
tools and products, which he said might come in handy.

It did not take Nina too long before she understood why he wanted her to bring them. I’ve been so
preoccupied these days that I’ve forgotten about my expertise. I can always find a chance to change the
way I look with some make-up later! I’m sure Mommy and Maya won’t even notice it when I’m gone…

As obedient and sweet as ever, Maya nodded and pledged, “Daddy, I promise I will stay near to the both
of you forever.”



Nicole smiled after listening to Maya’s heartwarming words. Of course, having both girls by their side
would be the most ideal scenario. However, if their Mr. Rights turned out to be someone who lived far
away from their city, she would not stop them from leaving too. As long as the guy treated her daughter
well and was able to make her happy, she was willing to compromise.

“Daddy, Mommy, I-I have nothing to say because marriage isn’t on my agenda yet. I’m done eating, so I’ll
go and get changed now.” With that, Nina left the dining table and walked away.

Watching Nina’s back, Nicole contemplated how antsy Nina looked when she answered them. For some
reason, she had a feeling that something was bugging Nina.

After Maya left for her room, Evan asked Nicole for her opinion on Nina’s sudden change in attitude.

uneasy doing things behind her family’s back and deceiving them in the process.

At last, she decided to see her actions as justified, by thinking that she was doing so to fight for her own
happiness. All the effort she was making at the moment would be worthwhile to ensure a blissful life in
the future. When the right time came, she would be back to apologize to Daddy and Mommy.

After receiving Nina’s message, Chris reminded her to be careful and to bring along all her cosmetic
tools and products, which he said might come in handy.

It did not take Nina too long before she understood why he wanted her to bring them. I’ve been so
preoccupied these days that I’ve forgotten about my expertise. I can always find a chance to change the
way I look with some make-up later! I’m sure Mommy and Maya won’t even notice it when I’m gone…

As obedient and sweet as ever, Maya nodded and pledged, “Daddy, I promise I will stay near to the both
of you forever.”



Nicole smiled after listening to Maya’s heartwarming words. Of course, having both girls by their side
would be the most ideal scenario. However, if their Mr. Rights turned out to be someone who lived far
away from their city, she would not stop them from leaving too. As long as the guy treated her daughter
well and was able to make her happy, she was willing to compromise.

“Daddy, Mommy, I-I have nothing to say because marriage isn’t on my agenda yet. I’m done eating, so I’ll
go and get changed now.” With that, Nina left the dining table and walked away.

Watching Nina’s back, Nicole contemplated how antsy Nina looked when she answered them. For some
reason, she had a feeling that something was bugging Nina.

After Maya left for her room, Evan asked Nicole for her opinion on Nina’s sudden change in attitude.

The image of how Nina fumbled with the hem of her shirt earlier popped up in Nicole’s mind. “I think
something’s been bothering Nina. I’ll keep an eye on her for the next two days.”

“You do that” Evan nodded. “I’m heading to the office now. Just phone me if there are any issues.”

“Sure. Please drive carefully.”

Evan caressed Nicole’s head gently and was off to work. In the meantime, Nicole headed back to the
master bedroom. Just after she finished eating some supplement pills, she heard someone knocking on
the door.

“Come in.”

Maya strode in, her sparkling eyes blinking at Nicole. With a toothy grin, she took one of Nicole’s arms
and proposed, “Mommy, don’t you think the weather is marvelous? Since it’s the weekend and I don’t
have to go to school, shall we go on a shopping trip?”



“A shopping trip?” Nicole pondered over Maya’s suggestion before saying, “Why don’t you invite Aunt
Sheila to go with you? Mommy wants to stay at home to keep Nina’s company.”

“Mommy, Nina is coming too.”

Not only Nina was joining their shopping trip, but she was also actually the one who proposed that idea.
Thinking that Nina wanted some fresh air to clear her mind, Maya approved her idea without hesitation
and agreed to help her propose the idea to Mommy.

Nicole was worried when she learned that Nina wanted to go out too. Could she be up to some mischief?

“What’s the matter, Mommy? Do you feel like staying at home instead? It’s alright because I can go with
Nina by myself.”

If an emergency situation arises later, Maya won’t be able to deal with it. So, I have to be there with them
by hook or by crook!

“I’m going. Go and invite your Aunt Sheila too. The more the merrier,” Nicole said.

“Hooray! Let me go and get changed first. We’ll set off when Aunt Sheila gets here.”

After accomplishing her mission, Maya headed straight to Nina’s room to tell her the good news.

“Get dressed now! We’ll go when you’re done!”

Nina was overjoyed deep down inside to hear that. “I will. Thanks, Maya.”

“It’s no biggie. In fact, I’ve been thinking of going out to get some fresh air too. Well, I’m off to get
changed now.”

Maya scampered her way out of Nina’s room, looking exhilarated.



In fact, it was not Nina’s plan to depart so soon. However, Chris, who thought it was safer for them to
leave sooner rather than later, urged her to carry out his plan sooner through messages. That was the
reason why Nina was forced to come up with the shopping trip idea. In her opinion, she would have the
chance to sneak off and meet Chris as long as she was outside.

She immediately whipped out her phone and texted Chris, telling him that her plan to leave Imperial
Garden was a success.

Nina: I’m going to Azara Mall later together with Mommy and Maya. Just wait for me somewhere nearby.
I’ll find a chance to sneak off and meet you.

Nina felt a mixture of anticipation and apprehension after sending the message. She looked forward to
spending every minute and every hour of her life with Chris in the future, but at the same time, she felt
uneasy doing things behind her family’s back and deceiving them in the process.
