Ch. 656..660: The Adorable Twins and Their CEO Daddy Chapter 656-660

Chapter 656

At this moment, Nicole still didn’t know that Wyatt had already known the truth about their breakup.

She was on the movie set now, lying on the chair with her eyes closed, waiting for the next scene.

Cheryl, her old rival, suddenly approached her.

“Nicole, you can go now.”

Nicole opened her eyes only to see Cheryl’s complacent face. She was a little surprised.

“What did you say?” she asked with a frown.

“I said, you can pack your things and get out of here. From now on, I will be the heroine of this movie.”

Cheryl felt relieved now that she had announced the news to Nicole.

“That’s impossible!”

Nicole didn’t believe Cheryl. She thought Cheryl was only bluffing her.

She had finished filming almost half of the movie. How could the investor change the heroine midway?

But at this moment, Esteban walked over to them with a serious face.

“Nicole, she is telling the truth.”

Nicole’s eyes widened in shock. “What the hell is going on?”

Esteban pulled a long face, but he tried hard to suppress his anger. He comforted her, “There is a minor problem with the investor. You go back first. But don’t worry. I will deal with this.”

Was it really just a minor problem? How could her role be taken away from her if it was only a minor problem?

Nicole wanted to ask more. But before she could open her mouth, Cheryl already took the initiative to reveal everything.

“Well, it’s all your fault for offending the Todd family. They discovered that you seduced Wyatt, so they want to completely ban you from the entertainment industry. Nicole, I’m sorry to say you are done this time.”

Cheryl was obviously gloating. She had been suppressed by Nicole for so long. But now, the Todd family had helped her take revenge on Nicole.

It was the Todd family again.

What was wrong with Dora this time?

Nicole was in a daze for a while.

Cheryl wanted to mock her former rival more. But the new assistant next to her reminded her that Bryce had come. Bryce Hughes was her new sugar daddy.

She immediately restrained her arrogance, quickly retouched her makeup, and left in a hurry.

But before she left, she turned to Nicole and said, “Nicole, you have offended the Todd family. I’ll wait and see what happens to you.”

Nicole looked at Cheryl, who was flattering her new sugar daddy not far away. She remained calm. But suddenly, a mocking smile appeared on her face.

Wasn’t it ridiculous?

Indeed, this was the entertainment industry. A moment ago, Cheryl was showing off arrogantly. The next second, she had to grovel to others.

At the thought of this, unprecedented fatigue swept over Nicole’s heart.

She suddenly felt she didn’t want to go on like this anymore.

Esteban thought Nicole would be furious when she heard the news. After all, she had put in a great deal of effort to be the heroine of this movie. And her stomach illness had even worsened.

But now, seeing that she was silent, he was even more worried.

Thinking that she must be worried about being banned from the entertainment industry, he comforted her, “Nicole, don’t worry. I will solve this matter.”

But much to Esteban’s surprise, Nicole looked at him calmly and smiled.

“No need, Esteban. I happened to feel tired recently and wanted to rest. So don’t bother dealing with this matter. Besides, I don’t want you to get into trouble because of me.”

Esteban was stunned for a moment. Then he said emotionally, “Are you just going to let the Todd family ban you completely?”

“Ban me completely? It won’t be that easy,” Nicole said with a confident smile.

She had done a lot in the entertainment industry in the past few years. She had created a good image on the screen, and she had many loyal fans. Even the Todd family could not completely ban her.

Besides, she had savings now. She had bought houses and shops, and her mother was in good condition. She had nothing else to worry about.

Even if she stopped filming for a few years, she wouldn’t live a hard life.

So maybe… She could consider leaving the entertainment industry for the time being. It was like she would be on indefinite leave.

Once Wyatt gave up on her and married someone else, then she would go back. By that time, Dora wouldn’t target her crazily anymore.

So Nicole made up her mind. And no matter how hard Esteban tried to persuade her, she was firm in her decision.

She quickly packed her luggage and rushed back home.

But when she arrived home, she saw a figure squatting at the door.

Nicole walked over, and the person slowly raised her head.

“Nicole, you’re back,” Wyatt said in a hoarse voice.

Nicole couldn’t believe her eyes.

“Wyatt? What are you doing here?”

Chapter 657

“I’m waiting for you,” Wyatt said as he stood up.

His eyes were bloodshot, there was stubble on his face, and his shirt was wrinkled, making him look extremely depressed.

It was Nicole’s first time seeing him so uncollected like this.

She frowned and asked, “Why are you waiting for me? What can I do for you?”

“I left the Todd family. Can you take me in temporarily?”

As he spoke, he stared at her with expectation in his eyes.

Nicole was stunned for a moment. She wondered why Wyatt had to leave the Todd family. Did something happen?

For a moment, her heart softened. She relented and wanted to let him in. But when she remembered what happened on the movie set today, she became ruthless again.

“You are the son of the Todd family. You can go back anytime you want. My house is too small for you. And you are not welcome here.”

Then she turned and opened the door without even looking at him.

But before she could enter the door, a big hand firmly grabbed her arm.

“I’m sorry. I know everything,” Wyatt said, choking with sobs.

Nicole’s heart skipped a beat. She panicked at once.

He knew everything? What did he mean?

Did he now know what had happened five years ago?

“Whatever you know, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t care about it anymore. Let go of me. I’m going inside.”

Nicole tried hard to break free from his grip. But she heard him cry out in pain.

She subconsciously turned her head. It was only then that she saw the bruises on Wyatt’s hand.

“What happened to your hand?”

Nicole couldn’t conceal the worry in her voice. She felt sorry for him.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just a minor injury. I might have accidentally gotten hurt when my mother sent bodyguards to catch me. But it’s okay.”

After saying this, he hid his injured hand behind his back.

Seeing Wyatt in this condition, how could Nicole still be cruel to him?

She said, “Come in first.”

Nicole took Wyatt inside the house and found the first aid kit to treat his wounds.

They sat on the sofa in an unusually silent atmosphere.

Nicole was concentrating on applying ointment on Wyatt’s wounds. He stared at her, and he couldn’t restrain his emotions anymore.

Before she knew it, he opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

“Nicole, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. Please give me one more chance. I want to make it up to you. Let’s start over, okay?”

He spoke in a very humble tone, and he hugged her so tightly that she almost suffocated in his arms.

Nicole was in a trance for a while.

This familiar embrace and the words “start over” were her fantasies for a long time. She was always dreaming of this moment.

She still liked Wyatt now as she did five years ago.

But it was too late now.

They were not as young as before. And their lives were not as simple as five years ago. Back then, they could give up everything for love. But now, there were many difficulties between them, and they could never bring back the past.

“Wyatt, let go of me. We are not the same as five years ago. We can’t be together anymore.”

After saying this, Nicole clearly felt that Wyatt’s body trembled, and he slowly let go of her.

“Nicole, don’t jump to conclusions. I’m so hungry. Please make me something to eat.”

Wyatt just ignored what she said. Instead, he held her hand and acted coquettishly.

Nicole knew that he deliberately ignored her words. But she still didn’t have the heart to refuse him.

Both of them tacitly avoided the heavy topic just now.

“You know how bad my cooking skills are. Do you really want to eat the food I cook?” Nicole said with uncertainty.

“Yes, of course. I will eat whatever you cook. And if you don’t cook for me, I’ll stay here and won’t leave.”

After saying this, Wyatt grinned cheekily, just like before.

Nicole had no choice but to go to the kitchen and cook pasta for him.

And as usual… The kitchen was a mess.

At this moment, Wyatt walked into the kitchen.

He walked up to Nicole, took the kitchen knife from her hand naturally, and began to cut the tomato. He teased, “It’s been so many years. Your cooking skills haven’t improved at all.”

Nicole stepped aside in embarrassment. Her face flushed.

She mumbled, “I’m so busy with my work. How can I have time to cook?”

Wyatt smiled helplessly. “You still don’t know how to take care of yourself.”

At this moment, they seemed to have returned to the past.

But this moment couldn’t last forever. In the end, they still had to face the reality.

After Wyatt ate the pasta, he and Nicole sat opposite each other in silence.

“Since you have eaten, you should leave now,” Nicole said, breaking the silence.

Wyatt’s heart tightened upon hearing this. But he didn’t want to give up. He grabbed Nicole’s hands.

He asked, “Nicole, can you trust me again? I won’t be as powerless as I was five years ago. From now on, I will protect you and your mother. I really just need one more chance to prove it all to you.”

Chapter 658

As Nicole stared into Wyatt’s sincere and enthusiastic eyes, she couldn’t help but give in. How could she not relent? She was yet to forget him, even after five years had gone by!

She was about to respond to him when a knock came on the door.

“I know you’re here, Mr. Todd. Your mother requested we pick you up.”

Nicole drew her hand back as she suddenly returned to her senses. She put on an indifferent face again.

“It’s time you left. They came to take you home.”

He stared at the empty space in the palm of his hand and his face instantly went dark.

Turning to the door, he roared, “Get lost!”

The knocks stopped coming, but the bodyguards outside seemed to have no intention of giving up.

“You are the Todd family’s heir, Mr. Todd. You have to be responsible for the entire Todd family. You’re not allowed to just leave like this.”

Wyatt paid no attention to the bodyguard’s words and simply stared at Nicole.

A deadlock between Wyatt and the bodyguards began. No one wanted to relent.

Nicole no longer wanted to spend time waiting however. She recalled her mother had told her she would be coming over to see her. Her mother would be frightened if she saw the current situation.

“It’s best you leave now. My mother would be here soon. It wouldn’t be good for her to see this situation. She has a heart problem,” she urged Wyatt.

Still, he didn’t want to leave.

Right then, Kyra’s voice sounded from outside.

“Who are you? Why are you all at my daughter’s doorstep?”

Nicole and Wyatt simultaneously got up as they heard Kyra’s voice.

“Mom!”

Afraid her mother might be in danger outside, Nicole was about to rush out immediately.

“It’s alright. I’ll bring your mother in. Just stay here. Don’t come out.” Wyatt stopped her.

Then he hurried out.

“Wyatt, what are you doing here?”

Kyra was shocked to see Wyatt hurrying out of her daughter’s house.

“You finally came out, Mr. Todd! The bodyguards were elated.

“I told you to get lost! I’m not going to follow you back!” Wyatt shouted impatiently, standing in front of Kyra.

The bodyguards seemed embarrassed. “Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for us please. Mrs. Todd told us we have to take you home today.”

Kyra finally understood what was going on as she heard the exchange.

“Come with me, Wyatt.”

Wyatt responded politely, “Alright, Mrs. Swift.”

The two of them then headed downstairs.

“What’s happening?” Kyra questioned with a serious expression on her face.

Wyatt bowed deeply, his eyes sincere.

“I’m sorry to cause you so much trouble, Mrs. Swift. I had a falling out with my family, and these bodyguards were sent to catch me. Just trust me, please. I’ve fully decided to be with Nicole again. Give me one more chance please!”

Being aware of what was going on, Kyra sighed.

“I understand you, Wyatt. However, avoiding your family is not a good idea. You need to be brave and make Nicole feel secure enough if you still want to be with her.”

“But I’m scared…” Staring straight into Kyra’s gentle eyes, he finally bared his real thoughts. “I’m scared Nicole would suffer in poverty if I lost everything. She doesn’t deserve that…”

A smile formed on Kyra’s face, “Why would that be? You are both able-bodied and can earn your own money. Moreover, you should know Nicole better. Is she the sort of person to dislike you just because you no longer have any money?”

He felt a wave of enlightenment wash over him as he heard that.

“Thank you, Mrs. Swift. I now know what to do!”

After that he took out his phone and dialed his assistant.

“Send the e-mail I prepared to all the Todd family members right now.”

“Are you sure you want to do this, Mr. Todd?” The assistant was reluctant.

Wyatt was determined. “Yes, send it immediately.”

The assistant said nothing else.

Wyatt then hung up, and immediately, he felt relaxed. He could now be with Nicole without issue.

“Everything is settled, Mrs. Swift. Let’s head home.”

Kyra looked at Wyatt and felt her satisfaction increase.

“Let’s head home together.”

He then took Kyra upstairs.

Before all the bodyguards, he announced solemnly, “You can all head back. I just sent a document saying I voluntarily give up my inheritance to the Todd family to all family members, including my mother. I’m no longer the Todd family’s heir.”

Chapter 659

The bodyguards were dumbfounded upon hearing Wyatt’s words.

One of them asked to confirm, “Mr. Todd, what do you mean?”

“Don’t you understand me? I am no longer the heir of the Todd family. So go back and don’t bother me again.”

Wyatt looked very calm. The expression on his face showed that he didn’t regret giving up his billion- dollar family fortune.

The bodyguards were at a loss, not knowing what to do. They could only look at each other.

Under the puzzled eyes of the bodyguards, Wyatt led Kyra into the door.

As soon as they entered the house, Nicole walked up to them with a long face.

“Wyatt, do you know what you’re doing? Can you give up the succession of the Todd family just like that? You are simply irresponsible!”

Nicole had clearly heard the conversation between Wyatt and the bodyguards just now behind the door.

Wyatt sighed deeply, “Nicole, you know that I’m not suitable for doing business at all. Giving up the succession of the Todd family is the best choice.”

“Who says so? Aren’t you running Moonlight very well?” Nicole was angry and anxious at the same time.

Wyatt explained patiently, “Nicole, you don’t understand. The money I have earned so far is only enough to run the restaurant. I tried my best, but this was the best thing I could do. It’s my mother who

always has the inappropriate illusion that I can be like Maurice. But some things just don’t work, even if you have good intentions. Just like you, you are trying your best, but you can never improve your cooking skills. I’m also the same in business.”

Finally, Wyatt was able to open his heart to Nicole.

Through this, he also wanted to tell her not to feel guilty and uneasy about it.

Actually, he did not make the decision to give up the Todd family’s succession on impulse. He decided about it after careful consideration.

Nicole saw that Wyatt was determined about his decision. She didn’t know what else to say.

She didn’t know how else to persuade him. Whether it was in the past or now, she really had no power to convince him.

When Wyatt saw Nicole’s gloomy face, he deliberately spoke his mind in a joking tone.

“Nicole, I have nothing now except the restaurant. Are you interested in being with a restaurant owner?”

Nicole’s heavy heart suddenly lightened up. She pulled a wry face. “You… Why do you never behave properly?”

How dare he say that in front of Kyra!

For a moment, Nicole’s face flushed at Wyatt’s bold confession. She didn’t dare to look at Kyra’s expression at all.

Kyra actually had a knowing expression. She pretended not to have heard Wyatt’s confession just now and said, “Oops! I just saw that the kitchen is in a mess. You guys talk first. I’ll go clean up the kitchen.”

After she left, Wyatt asked Nicole the same question again. Obviously, he was nervous.

“Nicole, what do you think? Are you willing to give me another chance?”

Nicole was stunned for a moment. She unconsciously squeezed the hem of her shirt tightly.

The man in front of her was her first love. He was someone she couldn’t let go of, even if she wanted to.

They were forced to separate for five years because of their status. Wyatt’s family was rich, while she was not.

This time, for Wyatt to be with Nicole, he almost gave up everything. So he only hoped that she could give him a chance to start over.

Nicole couldn’t help asking herself if she was willing to be with Wyatt again.

And her heart said yes.

Of course, she was willing.

At this moment, Nicole’s hard-earned defenses collapsed when she was faced with Wyatt’s sincere confession.

She slowly took Wyatt’s clenched hand and said between sobs, “Yes, I am willing. I have always been willing.”

Wyatt’s eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t believe his ears.

“Nicole, is it for real? Wait! Did I hear you right? Can you say it again?”

Nicole smiled brightly. “You fool, you heard me right. I am willing to be with a restaurant owner. No matter what happens in the future, I will face it with you.”

Maurice was busy with his work in the Moran Group when he suddenly received a call from Wyatt.

“What’s up?”

On the other end of the line, Wyatt answered in a relaxed tone, “It’s nothing serious. I just want to give you a heads-up. There will be big news from the Todd family in the next few days. But don’t worry. The projects that the Todd family and the Moran family are cooperating with will continue. It’s just that there is a high probability that someone else will coordinate with you instead of me.”

Chapter 660

Maurice’s hand signing the document paused. Annoyed, he asked, “What did you say? Make it clear.”

Wyatt said indifferently, “It’s nothing. I just gave up my rights to the inheritance of the Todd family.”

“What? What do you mean you gave up?”

Maurice was utterly shocked.

“I said I gave up my rights to the inheritance of the Todd family. Why are you so shocked? Actually, I should have done it long ago. Don’t you know? I’m not fit for business at all. I don’t have a gift like you. Even since we were kids, I could never compete with you in business, right?”

Maurice was silent for a moment. Then he said, “Actually, you don’t have to compete with me.”

By this time, Wyatt had already let go of all the knots in his heart.

“Yes, I understand what you mean. Although I’m not as good as you at doing business, you may not win me in other aspects.”

Maurice didn’t sense any trace of disappointment in Wyatt’s tone, so he was finally relieved.

Wyatt was his best friend, so he would support Wyatt no matter what.

Now that he was relaxed, he joked, “Is there anything I can’t compete with you?”

“Well, you’re not as good as me at chasing a woman,” Wyatt said proudly. “You should marry Eliana as soon as possible. Otherwise, Nicole and I will get married ahead of you.”

“Have you and Nicole reconciled?” Maurice asked, raising his eyebrows.

Now he knew why Wyatt suddenly gave up his rights to the inheritance of the Todd family.

If it was for Nicole, everything would be reasonable.

Wyatt said proudly, “Yes, of course. So you should marry Eliana as soon as possible. And I want her to design our wedding rings.”

“Congratulations then.”

Now that Wyatt got what he wanted, Maurice was truly happy for him.

But when he thought of Eliana’s current condition, his heart sank.

“Don’t rush me. Eliana is not in good health recently. What’s more important now is you and Nicole. You have to marry her immediately. I have to go now. Bye.”

Maurice hung up the phone with a smile.

He looked at the clock on the wall and found it was time to pick Eliana up.

It had only been half a day since he didn’t see her, but he was already missing her.

Maurice quickly finished all his work, settled the children, and rushed to the hospital.

Before taking Eliana out of the hospital, he went to the doctor first and asked about her condition carefully.

And he was happy to hear the good news.

“Your company last night was very helpful to the patient. She didn’t have an attack, which is a good sign. She can be discharged now. But continue observing her for a while. If there is no problem, it means she has fully recovered.”

Maurice was relieved to hear that.

But for some reason, he had a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He was reminded of Jonathan’s threat to him that day.

Why was Jonathan so sure that he would send Eliana back?

While Maurice was distracted, Eliana walked over to him.

“What are you thinking? Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts?”

Maurice suddenly came back to his senses. And when he saw that Eliana’s face was still a little pale, he couldn’t help worrying. “Eliana, is there really nothing wrong with your body? I always feel that something is wrong…”

Eliana forced a smile. “Don’t think too much. The doctor said I am fine, right?”

“Yeah. Maybe I’m just thinking too much.”

Maurice temporarily put down the doubts in his heart and picked Eliana up.

“Let’s go home.”

Eliana was so frightened that she wrapped her arms around Maurice’s neck. Her face flushed in embarrassment.

“Ahhh! What are you doing? There are other people here. Put me down.”

But Maurice didn’t seem to mind at all. He looked as calm as usual. “No, I won’t. I’ll carry my woman, and they can watch as long as they want.”

Eliana was defeated by Maurice’s insistence. As a result, he walked from the ward to the parking lot, carrying her in his arms and under the gaze of many people.

On their way home, Maurice excitedly shared what had happened this morning with Eliana. When he said that Aileen finally called him dad, he couldn’t help smiling.

Eliana listened quietly with a smile on her face.

She thought it was great. Maurice would definitely be a good father in the future, even without her.
