Mistaking The CEO For A Gigolo Chapter 1822


    Chapter 1822 A Silver Tongue


    “Oh, there you are, Evan. I’ve been looking all over for you!”


    The unexpected entrance of Davin made Shermaine’s heart sink. Why did he show up at this critical


    moment? Is he out to stir up trouble?


    “Is something up?” Evan asked.


    Davin nodded in earnest. “We’ve received word from Y City. Dad and Mom wanted us to hurry back.


    Also, there are some matters at the office that you must attend to! Maya, too, seems to be making


    progress with Wilbur. Knowing howplicated his family dynamics are, I wonder if she, with her


    innocence and naivety, could handle it.”


    He then continued, “Then there’s Nina, who’s looking to host a productunch of some sort. There’s


    been some development between her and Stephen as well… All in all, there are heaps of stuff for you


    to sort out back in Y City! So, Evan, when do you n to head back?”


    Davin cooked up a whole bunch of concoctions with the aim of getting Evan away and drawing up


    boundaries between thetter and Shermaine.


    Shermaine quietly exhaled. As expected, he’s really up to no good here. But there’s no way I’ll be


    letting Evan return to Y City, ever.


    On Daemonic Mount, she could just about manage the few people around Evan. However, were he to


    return to Y City, she would have to deal with his parents, children, and staff, among others. No amount


    of magic, in the form of eloquence or secret techniques, could prevent Evan’s suspicions from festering


    when everyone began to use her of deception.


    So how can I convince him to stay?


    “Are we going back so soon, Evan? The scenery here on Daemonic Mount is just marvelous. We


    should stay on for a while longer!” said Shermaine to the unspeaking Evan.


    Davin regarded her with scrutiny and remarked dryly, “Are the beautiful sights more important than


    one’s parents? More important than thepany? What’s going to happen to Maya and Nina during


    the course of your extended stay? My sister-inw has always cared deeply for her two daughters, so


    why do you, who im to be her, always seem so indifferent to their well-being? Given your


    preupation with your own personal pleasure in the face of everything else, how are you fit to profess


    to be my sister-inw?”


    Staggered, Shermaine regarded the usative Davin with frostiness. “I-I just figure that the children


    will have to find their own way eventually and trust in Maya’s and Nina’s capability to tackle their own


    problems.”


    “Even so, surely you ought to have asked about Nina and Wilbur, who were on a hiatus when we first


    arrived. How is it that you aren’t even remotely curious to know what happened and what she had to go


    through when I mentioned that there were new developments between them?”


    Once more, Shermaine had no good response to that.


    What’s that got to do with me? You jolly well know that I’m a fraud, so isn’t it obvious that you’re trying


    to rouse Evan’s suspicion by pressuring me like this? Hmph. I won’t let you seed!


    Shermaine rolled her eyes at him. “I know that you’re extremely concerned for her as her uncle, so tell


    you what… Why don’t you go back and attend to her first? As her mother, I’ll thank you on her behalf


    and Maya will surely be grateful to you as well!”


    She then continued, “When I asked to stay on for a little bit longer, it isn’t for the sights, but because we


    have some important business to take care of right here on Daemonic Mount. Once that’s out of the


    way, your brother and I will return together! Since you’re such a loving uncle, be a dear and go back


    and check in with our parents and look after the girls. You wouldn’t look to turn down this request of


    mine, would you?”


    My word. This woman’s got quite the silver tongue on her, hasn’t she? Not only are you refusing to


    allow Evan to leave, but you’re also trying to run me off so that I won’t be in your way. Fat chance! I’ll


    be damned if I let that happen!


    Davin was about to issue his response when Evan interjected, “That sounds great. Go on home first.


    Dad and Mom will feel much better having you around!”


    Davin was gobsmacked.

    Look, I’m trying to do you a favor here, my dear brother. With me gone, there will be one less person to


    prevent you from falling into her hands! So I can’t go and I won’t!
