Chapter 498


    Nicole was surprised to see him again. Didn’t I make myself clear yesterday? What’s he doing here


    again today?


    “Ms. Lane, he said he won’t leave unless you meet with him.”


    She had firsthand experience of his stubbornness yesterday.


    Hence, she thought it was best to make herself clear to not waste any more time.


    “Let him in.”


    Levant soon sauntered into her office with a faint smile on his face. “Good morning.”


    “Why are you here? Haven’t I made myself clear yesterday?”


    Levant smiled. “You were crystal clear about it. So I’m also certain about my feelings for you now.”


    Nicole was speechless.


    What does he mean?


    Levant saw the shocked look on her face and offered an exnation. “I had thought that every woman


    in this world was materialistic and would throw themselves at me because of my social status.


    However, I don’t think that’s the case anymore. Because of you.”

    Nicole did not understand his words.


    Levant looked at her with love and affection as he stated, “I’ve really fallen in love with you. Please give


    me a chance.”


    She gawked at him silently.


    What the hell? This is no different from yesterday.


    He’s doing it again! Why on earth is he so persistent?


    “There are lots of women from noble families out there that are well suited for you. I really can’te


    up with a reason as to why you would want to date me, a mother with four kids. What exactly are you


    after?”


    “Love.”


    “No, I’m pretty sure you have another reason for this.” Nicole was fairly certain about his motive as she


    looked at him.


    Panic shed across Levant’s face, but he quickly put on a faint smile. “You seriously want to know the


    real reason?”


    “Tell me all about it.”


    “This reason has everything to do with the Musgrave family. I can only tell you if you marry me.”


    The Musgraves’ secret?


    Hell, will I be murdered if I know too much?


    Forget it, I’d better not hear him out.


    “Leave then. I don’t want to know. I won’t marry you either.”


    “Nicole, I will win you over with my sincerity and make you marry me willingly.”


    Levant looked at her affectionately; determination was written all over his face.


    She was about to tell him to give up. However, he left before she even had a chance to speak up.


    The woman stared at the closed office door and sighed.


    She was tormented by thoughts about Evan back home when Yoda would disy thetter’s


    temperament and behavior in front of her from time to time.


    And then there was the conceited Levant determined to win her over without even stating his reason.


    At the same time, she was overwhelmed with the mess herpany was in. The series of events left


    her feeling utterly dejected.


    I really want to drink my sorrows away and forget about it all – even if just for a moment.


    She whipped out her phone upon that thought and called She.


    “Let’s go somewhere to blow off some steam tonight. How does that sound?”


    “Where?”


    “A bar.”


    Upon hearing how Nicole spoke, She knew the woman must be in a very bad mood. The former had


    been through a lot on her own ever since Evan’s ident, so She thought that she should allow the


    woman to chance to vent. Thus, She agreed to meet up with her.


    “Sounds good, I’ll see you tonight.”


    Nicole excused herself from her four kids after work and drove towards The Passion.


    She was waving to her enthusiastically at the bar when she arrived.


    “Nicole, over here.”


    Nicole walked in her direction, and the two of them chatted over some beer.


    She looked at her in surprise in the middle of the conversation. “Y-You think there’s something off


    about Levant?”


    “Yes, something’s really off about him. Why else would he waste his time on me?”


    She fell deep into thought, analyzing the situation.


    “Forget it. Let’s not talk about him anymore. Cheers.”


    Just as they were starting to get tipsy, She was suddenly lifted up by her shoulder.


    “Which bastard did that? You’re looking for trouble!”


    “Sheep, do you still have any sense of direction in your drunken state?”


    She turned around and was taken aback when she saw that it was Davin speaking to her. She


    reached out to pull his ear.


    “How dare youe to these kinds of ces to have fun? I’ve caught you red-handed now!”


    “Damn it, Sheep, aren’t you twisting the facts now? I’m the one who had caught you red-handed!”
