this is my favorite line in the film , when eves husband ask Chauncey to escort his wife to the Russian ambassador reception , i think its safe to assume that CG does not understand the meaning of the word " escort " and assumed it meant blank his wife

It is safe to assume that Chauncey didn't know what "escort" means, but it isn't safe to assume that he thought it mean having sex, since he's presented as an asexual permanent child with absolutely no concept of anything in the world other than gardening. -

Exactly. He said the word "escort" a little oddly, because the word was unfamiliar. The way he spoke made it come across as having a double meaning, but Chance wasn't aware of that. The movie is full of little misunderstandings of that kind.
But Chance wouldn't have assumed anything about sex, because he didn't understand or have any interest in sex. That's made very clear during Eve's attempted seduction.
