Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1277

Luke grabbed another piece of meat for Levant and said, “Daddy, you have some too.”

“Thanks! What a good boy you are! It’s okay. I can get the meat myself.”

Luke smiled happily and started eating his food. Moments later, Luke suddenly felt an awkward atmosphere around the dining table.

Mommy and Daddy are not talking to each other. They are eating their own meals like strangers. This is unacceptable!

Luke scratched his head and said, “Daddy, Mommy loves to eat steak. Can you grill some for her?”

Levant paused for a moment and immediately placed some beef on the grill. “Sure, I can grill some more if you like them.”

“Thank you!” replied Tiffany.

“Mommy, Daddy, I’m full. I’ll go over there and play.” Luke stood up and reminded Levant in a hushed tone, “Daddy, please be nice to Mommy. That way, I get to have a complete family, and you get to find your happiness too!” After saying that, Luke gave Levant a thumbs-up and ran off.

Levant smiled as he watched his son running off. My happiness is not important. However, I must provide a family for Luke.

“Tiffany, let’s talk.”

“What do you want to talk about?”

Levant picked up a glass of wine and finished it in one go. There were some words he couldn’t say without the help of some alcohol.

“Why didn’t you find anyone to marry for these past few years?”

Tiffany hesitated for a moment and replied, “I’m busy with work. I don’t have the time for relationships.”

“So, are you willing to think about marriage now?”

Tiffany picked up her glass, swirled it gently, and gulped down the wine.

She smiled and said, “Of course, I’m thinking about marriage. However, you knew about my past. I used to be in an unhappy marriage. Then, with you… Do these experiences count as two unhappy relationships, then? For people with experiences like me, how do you think I should approach the topic of relationships?”

Levant fell silent. Is Tiffany asking me what I can provide for her in our relationship? For a woman who was emotionally hurt before, she must be sure of her happiness if she is willing to talk about marriage again. Besides, she is pretty well-off currently.

Levant didn’t dare to answer rashly. He heard Tiffany laugh at herself self-deprecatingly. “Marriage is such a touchy subject for a woman like me because I’m scared to get hurt again. So before I ever think about marriage again, I must be sure I’ll be happy! Levant, you asked me about marriage today. Are you able to make me happy?”

Levant remained silent.

Happiness is such a heavy word. It carries a lot of meaning and responsibility. I have avoided being with Tiffany these past few years because I knew I didn’t love her and could not give her happiness. Now that she asked me about it, what should I answer?

Levant gave it some thought and asked, “What do you understand about happiness? What do you think a life filled with happiness should look like?”

“I think the happiest marriage in the world is when two people love and tolerate each other. They see each other as the only one for them. They also have the courage and determination to spend the rest of their lives with each other. Obviously, I’m not that lucky, so I don’t expect ever to have that kind of marriage. I just want someone to be nice and sincere with me. He will protect me and is willing to spend the rest of his life with me. My previous relationship was too heavy, so I just want to be safe and secure for the rest of my life. I just want somebody to care for me.”

“So, your feelings don’t matter as long as someone is nice to you and cares for you, right?”

Tiffany fell silent and nodded.

Yes, I know you love Nicole instead of me. As long as you treat me well, I will accept it even if you don’t love me.

“Will you be willing to accept me?”
