Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1283
Romantic? No, it was heartbreaking.
Nina’s face turned pale, and the pain in her heart was unbearable. “We broke up,” said Nina hoarsely.
Maya was shocked. “Seriously?” she asked in disbelief.
Nina smiled bitterly and said, “It’s true.” Right after she answered, she headed upstairs.
As Maya watched her, she was still in a state of perplexment.
She was well aware that Nina’s feelings for Chris bordered on obsession. Besides, she was continually talking about Chris, as if he had already been a part of her daily life.
Maya felt that they were a match made in heaven.
How can this be? Why would they break up suddenly? Nina must be really sad!
Meanwhile, Nina entered her room and locked the door before throwing herself onto her bed. She then stared blankly at the ceiling, recalling what had happened earlier.
The past memories began to play back in her mind like a movie.
Chris has a fiancée, and they’re planning to marry next month. As a result, Chris and I could never be together again.
How can one be so fickle? When he promised to wait for me and when he gave me the pendant, were they for nothing?
At the same time, she also wondered who sent Stephen to save her.
In the long and lonely night, only misery and doubt surrounded her.
It took almost a night of tossing and turning before she could finally fall asleep when it was almost dawn.
During breakfast, Nicole asked Maya about Nina’s absence.
“Mommy, Nina’s in a bad mood. Let her have some more rest,” answered Maya as she sighed.
“What happened to Nina?”
Right then, she remembered that Nina met with Chris yesterday. Could that be the reason?
Maya’s eyes were filled with sorrow as she replied, “Nina said she had broken up with Chris.”
They broke up?
Nicole frowned immediately as her heart tightened. She, too, couldn’t believe her ears, just like Maya did when she first found out about it.
“That was what Nina told you?”
“Yeah. She told me when she came home last night.”
Thinking how much Nina loved Chris, Nicole couldn’t help but feel her heart ache.
It was difficult to leave a relationship, let alone deal with the pain that followed. Nina was a headstrong woman, and she had loved Chris for many years, so when they split up unexpectedly, it would hit her like a train.
“Mommy, didn’t Daddy say that Chris was nice to Nina? He even said that they would spend the rest of their lives together. Why did it end up like this?”
Nicole was just as curious as Maya.
“Perhaps Daddy and Nina made the wrong judgment. Perhaps…”
“Perhaps what?”
“Perhaps there is another reason.”
“What reason?”
Nicole tried to put herself in Chris’ shoes and pondered his situation. Perhaps he still loves Nina, and he has no other choice.
“I’ll have someone look into this. Nina will be sad for the time being, so please take care of her and comfort her, Maya,” Nicole advised.
“Okay, Mommy. I got it.”
The breakfast wasn’t enjoyable, and Nicole returned to her room after taking a few bites.
Evan went on a business trip last night, and he could probably only return after a few days, so Nicole had to take matters into her own hands.
She then phoned the duke and asked for his help with Chris’ investigation.
“Nicole, bring the kids here to stay for some time. Joy is such a bright girl, and I’ve missed her.”
“Dad, Seet Group is launching new projects, and Evan is away on business. Besides, I’m getting ready to return to work shortly, so I won’t have time to go back. You can visit Imperial Garden if you miss her. There’s plenty of room here for you to stay.”
