Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1251
Davin was still deep in shock at the news when he heard Evan say, “Now, we need to convince Levant to return to Nepenthe Valley and stay for three months. Only then will Nina get the cure she needs, and Crystal Rose will give up seeking vengeance on Uncle Morris.”
“Is that so?” Davin thought back to the fury on Levant’s face when the latter left Crystal Rose’s room. Besides, the determination Levant had before leaving this place was still as clear as day in his mind.
Would he willingly come back?
“Evan, I don’t think it’s a simple task to make him come back to us.”
“That’s right, which is why you’ll have to come up with a plan to convince him.”
“Me?” Davin pointed at himself in bewilderment. You’re having too high of a hope in my capabilities!
“Evan, Levant is a stubborn man. It’s obvious to tell from his never-ending love and commitment toward Nicole! He’s as hard-necked as a cow! How could I possibly convince him?”
Evan glanced at Davin icily. “You can at least try. How will you know if you don’t try?”
Once again, Davin had no words. He quietly sighed before he murmured, “All right, I guess I have no other choice but to try. Although, there’s no guarantee I can bring him back.”
“Okay. You can try calling him first.”
Reluctantly, Davin picked up the phone and dialed Levant’s number. He already anticipated the latter would insult him with ugly words.
The call was answered quickly.
“What do you want from me?” Levant snapped in a moody tone.
“Why did you leave so suddenly?”
“I had something to do,” Levant prevaricated casually.
“What else do you have to do? We were at Nepenthe Valley to find a cure for Nina! You’re so selfish and irresponsible for leaving like this. You could’ve at least waited for Nina to be cured before leaving!”
“Davin, I won’t beat around the bush with you. I will never return to that place!”
Hearing Levant’s reply, Davin exhaled sharply and retorted, “Well, since you want to put it that way, I’ll tell you what I think. You must return to Nepenthe Valley! Nina’s cure depends on you!”
“Me? I don’t have the ability to cure her.”
“I know you don’t. However, Crystal Rose promised to cure her if you were willing to return…” Davin thought of telling him the full condition, which was having to stay for three months, but decide to keep that a secret since he knew Levant would definitely refuse. “If you return, Crystal Rose will cure Nina!”
“There’s no way I’m going back!”
“Levant, please! Think of it as helping Nina. She needs you!”
Levant hesitated for a split second, then hung up on Davin.
Evan is a powerful and resourceful man, so there must be some other methods that could save his daughter. Anyway, I could never go back there and face the woman who abandoned me.
If it hadn’t been for Stephen’s wife, Portia, who had adopted him and treated him as if he was her own son back at the estate, he couldn’t imagine how his life would have turned out.
Portia…
Levant’s emotions were in turmoil when he thought about his adoptive mother.
He didn’t know what exactly happened all those years ago. All he knew was that Portia now had two identities – she was a homewrecker who had destroyed the relationship between his biological parents, and she was also the adoptive mother who raised him.
Levant had no idea how to face her in the future. Should he hate her? Or was he supposed to thank her for raising him?
He pondered over this matter and finally chose to find out the full picture of the story before deciding further.
Levant wanted to contact everyone important involved in his past, including Murphy, Stephen, and Portia.
First, he contacted Murphy, but Murphy didn’t want to talk about his past and tried to brush him off. “Why do we have to talk about that? Just let the past be in the past.”
