Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 2004

Chapter 2004 Is He Pretending

Maya halted in her tracks. “I’m going to visit Wilbur.” “I heard he is injured and cannot continue the filming. Is that true?”

“Yes!” Maya nodded. “What a shame.” Zayden sighed and suggested, “Maya, I miss Wilbur too. Can I go with you?”

Maya seemed reluctant upon hearing that. Is this a suitable time for Wilbur to see Zayden?

Just then, Evan’s voice rang out. “If Zayden wants to go, bring him. With Wilbur’s current condition, I think he can talk to Zayden.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Maya, I want to go too. Can Zayden and I go together with you, please?”

“Okay…” Maya took a deep breath and forced herself to agree. She then reminded, “After we reach the Simpson residence, remember not to run around and don’t talk nonsense. Please don’t create trouble, okay?”

“Okay.” “Maya, we promise we won’t.”

“Let’s go then.” Evan asked the butler to arrange a chauffeur for the three of them.

On the way there, Zayden asked how serious Wilbur’s injury was and how long he needed to recover.

Maya’s gaze seemed troubled. “I have no idea when he can recover. His brain is injured. He is like a kid now, just like you guys.”

“Huh?”

Zayden widened his eyes in shock, and Joy was stunned as well. The two kids then comforted, “Maya, I’m sure Wilbur will recover well.”

The latter plastered a smile. I hope so, too. We are counting on Mommy to find an expert in this field. That’s the only way Wilbur can recover.

At that moment, Wilbur was sitting in the dining area and happily enjoying a plate of fruits.

Nicholas and Mabel were observing him from the side. “Nic, do you think he has really become dumb?”

“Mom, what are you trying to say? Are you suspecting that he’s pretending?”

“Not really, but I feel everything’s so surreal—how he used to sit at the table and eat when he was normal. It’s so hard to believe that this is the reality now.”

Nicholas continued to observe Wilbur. He was eating like a kid at the moment. As he had difficulty handling the fork, he struggled to pick up the fruits. Because of that, he would even grab the fruits with his other hand and gobble them down.

If he’s normal, he won’t eat like this. He can’t be pretending, right?

Nicholas walked up to him and stared at his plate of fruits. Suddenly, he stretched his hand and flipped the plate. The remaining fruits fell to the ground.

“Wilbur, I’m so sorry. I just wanted to help you. But it seems like you can’t eat them anymore.”

Wilbur stared at him angrily. “It’s all your fault. You idiot!” Upon saying that, he knelt to pick up the fruits from the floor.

The maid saw it and wanted to help. However, Nicholas signaled her to stop. The maid immediately paused in her tracks, not daring to move.

Wilbur picked up a piece of fruit and put it right into his mouth. “Yummy…”

Mabel was disgusted upon seeing that. Wilbur used to be a hygienic person. He would have never eaten it if it was in the past. Did his brain injury cause his personality to change too?

Nicholas then stood next to Mabel and exchanged looks with her. “Mom, do you believe it now? Please don’t overthink.”

“Wil, it’s not that. But if he is pretending, eating a few pieces of fruits from the floor is nothing.”

“Mom, what do you mean?”

Before Mabel could respond, she heard kids shouting, “Wilbur, we’re here to see you.”

“Wilbur, we’re here to play with you.”

Mabel glanced outside and saw Zayden and Joy running inside joyously.

“What are they doing here?”

“They probably came with Maya.”

“An idiot plus two annoying kids. It looks like we won’t have a quiet night.”
