Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1266
“I’ll tell them to change the menu and prepare something delicious for you tonight.”
Davin broke into a grin as soon as he heard this. “I shouldn’t trouble you but thank you, Aunt Jordyn!”
Jordyn’s expression fell. “Don’t ever call me Aunt Jordyn again. I have nothing to do with Murphy anymore. If there’s one thing that’s left between us, it’s hatred!”
Davin gulped when he heard that. He turned to look at Levant, who had no intention to answer. Davin then chuckled awkwardly. “I know that Uncle Morris has done you wrong, but you should at least give him another chance. After all, Levant needs a loving family!”
“I don’t need one. I’m all grown up!” Levant frowned.
Davin looked at him with a straight face.
You don’t need one but your parents might! Can’t you at least try and help them get back together?
Levant sneered as though he understood what Davin was thinking. “You can’t force a relationship. As long as they get what they want and live happily, I don’t think it matters if they’re together or not.”
At that, Davin was speechless.
How could I forget this guy is super stubborn when it comes to relationships? He hates matchmaking so much, so how could I have expected him to do so for others?
“All right. I need to go to prepare the herbs. I’ll leave you two to talk.”
Davin sighed as soon as Jordyn left. “Levant, shouldn’t you help matchmake your parents? Don’t you want to see them live a happy life?”
“There’s no way matching two people who don’t have feelings for each other will help them live a happy life. Some people are just not meant to be together!”
“How do you know there are no feelings between your parents? Where do you think you came from if they don’t have feelings for each other?” Davin teased.
Levant rolled his eyes at him. “There’s nothing between me and Tiffany, but we have a child as well. Having a child together doesn’t necessarily mean there’s love between two people.”
Davin was at a loss for words for a moment. “I don’t know how to reason with you using normal logic!” He paused before he continued, “Forget about it. I shouldn’t be reasoning with you. Tell your mom to make more good food tonight. The Hidden Masters need to have something good after their tough journey getting the Resurrecting Herb and Exquisite Flower.”
Levant shot him a look and left.
“Hey, I’m talking to you! What’s with your attitude? No matter what, you’re still the young master of Nepenthe Valley. You can’t do this to a guest! You have to treat your guests with hospitality,” Davin nagged as he followed behind Levant.
Two days later, Jordyn had finished preparing the antidote with the Resurrecting Herb and Exquisite Flower. After a whole morning, another one-third of Nina’s poison had been cleared.
Nina looked so much better now, with a natural flush on her cheeks.
Levant teased, “Does this cure have the ability to enhance beauty too?” Nina’s snowy white face looked so much prettier than before.
“Doesn’t she look more like Nicole the more you look at her? Don’t you like her more as you look at that face?” Davin murmured into Levant’s ear in a teasing tone.
Levant’s expression stiffened for a second before his lips twitched and he stepped on Davin’s foot as hard as he could.
“Hey!” Davin cried out in pain.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t see you there.”
Davin glared at him. Pfft! I bet you did it on purpose! Well, I guess it’s kind of my fault. I shouldn’t have mentioned Nicole when I know that he’s still not over her.
“Why does Nina look so much better while my condition looks so bad?” Monica asked as she looked at Crystal Rose quizzically.
Monica had also cleared the poison three times, just like Nina did. However, she still felt weak.
