Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1255
Levant sneered, “You’re thanking me too soon. I must’ve been way too drunk to have returned to this place. How about this? I’ll leave immediately, and you can pretend that I was never here! Does that sound good to you?” With that said, he began putting on his shoes.
Davin was devastated at the situation, as he had spent an inordinate amount of effort to have Levant return to this place.
Out of panic, Davin crouched and snatched the shoes away from Levant.
“What are you doing, Davin?”
“Levant, since you’ve already returned, and we’ve all shown our gratitude toward your kindness, isn’t it a little rude for you to leave again so soon?”
“I don’t care if I’m being rude. I must leave Nepenthe Valley as soon as possible! Give me my shoes!”
“No!”
“Hand them over now!” Levant howled.
“I’m a man of my words and I will not back up this time!”
“Davin Seet!” Levant clenched his teeth and began chasing Davin barefoot.
Davin took off quickly, holding Levant’s shoes in his hands as he ran away from the house while shouting, “Come and get them if you can! You can leave when you get your shoes back!”
“Davin, stop right there!”
Just as Levant was about to trail after Davin and exit the house, he saw Crystal Rose appear in front of him along with a few other women.
“Levant, you’re back?” said Crystal Rose.
“I didn’t wish to come back, and I don’t want to see you or speak to you at all. I’m leaving now!”
“Levant…” Crystal Rose caught the stubbornness on Levant’s face, then glanced at his bare feet. “The roads nearby are rocky. Come in and wear your shoes before you go.”
Levant looked around and realized Davin was nowhere to be found. Darn it, where did Davin disappear to in such a short time? I guess I should head back inside for now.
Meanwhile, Evan, who had noticed Levant and Crystal Rose entering the house, decided to leave the two of them alone to talk. He motioned for the others to leave the room, and Nina carefully closed the door behind her.
“Daddy, do you think they’ll end up arguing with each other?”
“I suppose so. Let’s head back.” In Evan’s opinion, it wasn’t a big deal as long as the argument could help solve the problem at hand.
“All right! Daddy, what do you think Mommy is doing right now?”
“Are you missing Mommy? I’ll bring you home to see her as soon as you’re cured of the poison, okay?”
“Okay!”
Meanwhile, Levant sat on the bed with his back to Crystal Rose in the room. He had no desire to speak with the woman who had abandoned him mercilessly when he was a child.
“Levant, I understand you hate me, but I—”
“I don’t care about how you feel, and I don’t hate you at all. After all, why should I hate you? Who do you think you are? My mother? You’re undeserving of that title!”
You were already dead to me the moment you abandoned me!
Crystal Rose felt as if her heart was pierced by sharp knives because of Levant’s words. Her lips quivered as she struggled to find words to say to him.
If I had a choice, I would never have abandoned my son!
“Levant, I really had no choice but to do what I did back then…”
“So what? That doesn’t make it a proper excuse for you to abandon me! You have every right to hate my dad for cheating on you, but why did you choose to abandon me? I was only a child. What did I do wrong?”
“Levant, please let me explain… Please listen to what I have to say before you continue…” Crystal Rose teared up as she pleaded for Levant’s attention.
“Explain? What else do you need to explain? You abandoning me is a solid fact. You don’t have to waste time and energy looking for more excuses. I won’t listen to them! Leave!” Levant stomped toward the door and flung it open. He yelled furiously, “Leave! Leave right now!”
Seeing how stirred up Levant was at the moment, Crystal Rose understood there was nothing she could say to calm him down. She wiped her tears and left the room without another word. Later, she instructed Davin to return Levant’s shoes to him.
“If you pass him the shoes now, he’ll leave immediately. You might never be able to see him again after he leaves this time,” reminded Davin.
