Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1233
“Sheila is pregnant, so you should be staying with her and taking care of her. She’s literally risking her life to bear your child, so what’s a little nagging going to do?”
Davin choked out, “Actually, she’s the one that wants me to go. Her pregnancy has been making her act strange lately, and I think that she just doesn’t want to see me for the time being.”
Evan scrutinized Davin for a moment.
When Nicole was packing for us a while ago, she seemed incredibly reluctant for us to leave. Sheila and Nicole are both pregnant, so what’s up with this big difference in treatment? I would not be able to bear parting with Nicole too if it weren’t for Nina’s grave condition.
“I guess you’ve really failed at being a husband.” Evan took the opportunity to take a jab at his brother.
Stunned by the remark, Davin refuted with a dissatisfied look, “Evan, that is only because they are different people. If Sheep were as gentle and considerate as Nicole, I would never be treated this way.”
Evan shot him a glance before saying, “That’s just an excuse. You should look within.”
“I’m not wrong,” Davin insisted.
“What do you hope to gain from being so headstrong? Don’t you know that people who are headstrong with their wives end up in a divorce? Is that what you want? If you have that thought in mind, then Mom will never go easy on you!”
Davin felt wronged from being blamed by his brother on top of the way Sheila was always enraging him.
When did I say I wanted a divorce? I want to be a dad! All they do is blame and criticize me. Huh, I should talk less and let my actions speak louder than my words.
“You know what, Evan? You’re right. You’re always right. Whatever you say is reasonable, so I’ll just keep my mouth shut, all right?”
Casting him a glance, Evan said, “Oh, yeah. Draven called me and told me that Crystal Rose has some kind of history with Uncle Morris. I think we should get Levant to come with us. If there really is a history, we’ll just have him do us a favor.”
The thought of Crystal Rose and Murphy having a history roused Davin’s curiosity.
“Whatever you say, Evan! You’re always right after all!”
“Then, I’ll leave this to you. We’re leaving tomorrow, so there should be enough time tonight for you to convince him to come along, right?”
This is for your daughter, yet you want me to convince Levant? It is only right for you to go!
Thinking about the way his brother chastised him before, Davin did not dare to speak his mind. With that, he responded, “No worries, Evan. I’ll definitely get Levant to come with us.”
“Great. You should get going then.”
Filled with dread right after leaving the study room, Davin reluctantly drove to Levant Winery to relay the information to him.
Levant was surprised to hear about Nina being poisoned, but he was even more shocked by the other matter. “You’re telling me that my dad has a history with Crystal Rose? What kind of history?”
“I’m not too sure about that. All I know is that it is said that Crystal Rose is an eccentric woman and that she has a history with your father. I mulled it over, and I think there’s a possibility that your father was promiscuous. Maybe something happened between them, and he tossed her aside, causing her to hate him. That’s the only kind of history I can think of between a man and a woman. What do you think?”
Levant was dumbfounded.
Could my father really have that kind of history with Crystal Rose? That can’t be. Doesn’t he have an ambiguous relationship with Lady Musgrave and, for that reason, made my biological mother leave in a fit? How could he also have that kind of relationship with Crystal Rose?
“You think it’s possible too, right? I think it’s normal for Uncle Morris to have a few affairs for someone of his status.”
Coming back to his senses, Levant turned to Davin. “If your speculation is right, then why am I going? To be a sacrifice?”
“A sacrifice? Don’t be ridiculous…”
“You think that that woman hates my dad, so she would undoubtedly hate me, right? Won’t I be dead if I went?”
