Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1272
Zayden pouted his mouth while nodding his head.
“What are you talking about?” Furrowing his brows, Evan looked at Davin with a puzzled look plastered on his face.
Davin heaved a sigh before continuing, “Don’t you think that Joy is nothing like Nina or Maya when they were younger? Despite being a girl, she’s witty like Kyle and Juan. I have a hunch that a lot of guys would fall into her trap when she’s all grown up!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Clearly, Joy inherited the good genes from Nicole and me. That’s why she’s so smart!”
Pursing his lips, Davin went on, “Well, it looks like she inherited our mother’s genes as well. Like Mom, Joy doesn’t suffer any loss despite being considerate toward others. Mom takes great care of our family, but she will never let herself be at a disadvantage. However, I always get the short end of the stick because of that!”
“What do you mean by that?” asked Evan.
Later, Davin let out a long sigh and started to recount his miserable experience.
“Mom is extremely nice to Sheila, right? She wouldn’t trouble Sheila for any help. Do you know why?”
“Why?”
“That’s because I did all the work for her! The last time I had an argument with Sheila, Mom took Sheila’s side by kicking me out of the house and also calling me a live-in son-in-law! How ridiculous is that? Of course, Sheila is beyond grateful for Mom’s kind gesture toward her, and she has been purchasing tailor-made dresses for Mom by maxing out my bank cards! I have no choice but to sacrifice myself for their relationship. How miserable…”
After hearing what he said, Evan smiled faintly and uttered, “I think that Mom is right for siding Sheila. Or else, they would probably have a bad relationship with each other. It’s going to be difficult for you as the middleman if there’s bad blood between the two. Cheer up! You should feel glad that both of them are getting along well now.”
Davin thought about it for a while and said, “I don’t mean that Mom is wrong. I’m just saying that she’s good at taking care of people yet not letting herself suffer at a disadvantage. It’s like killing two birds with one stone. Joy definitely took this trait after Mom. Someday, she will be able to take good care of her family like Mom too!”
Evan lowered his gaze at Joy as she enjoyed her lollipop. “We still have a long way to go. For now, my only hope is that she will be happy and contented.”
“Of course she is! You named her Joy, after all. She’ll surely be a joyful girl.”
A faint smile appeared on Evan’s face as he murmured, “It was my greatest regret for not being able to be by Nicole’s side when she gave birth to the other kids. I got the idea of naming her Joy when Nicole gave birth to her to make up for what I have missed. Moreover, I hope that Joy would always be joyful in life.”
“Fret not. Joy will be living a great life. By the way, I think Joy will be going places someday! Perhaps you can consider nurturing her to be the successor of Seet Group?”
“I have Kyle and Juan in mind for that position. I don’t wish for Joy to bear such a huge responsibility. Instead, I will try my utmost best to shower my precious daughter with excessive love and make her feel like a princess.”
“I don’t want to be a princess. Mommy asked me to never act like a princess. She said it’s not good to be entitled,” Joy retorted, staring at the two adults.
“What do you want to be if you don’t want to be a princess?” Davin attempted to tease her.
With an incredibly arrogant tone, Joy replied firmly, “I want to be a superheroine! I want to be strong and capable and to fight all of the bad guys out there.” As she finished her sentence, Joy raised her clenched fist at the two of them.
Zayden’s pair of round eyes darted up and down. Looking visibly shocked, he swiftly dashed toward Davin and hid behind his father.
“Oh dear, Joy’s just joking. Why are you so scared?” Davin uttered.
Meanwhile, Zayden stole a glance at Joy’s fist, still trembling a little. “Mommy said it’s not ethical to fight. You should never fight.”
