Alex’s sentence had multiple meanings to it. Was he implying that Candice should by now be bored of the bracelet, or was he hinting at himself getting bored with Candice? It was ambiguous.After the party, Daniel and Helen saw the guests off at the gate. Alex spotted Candice’s car. “I’m busy. You
Candice paused for a moment. She put her purse down, took off her jacket, and asked with her usual tone, “Here to talk about Sonia?” She could not think of another reason for Alex to be in her house now. Alex looked at her and answered with a question, “Why are you late?” Candice had to work over
Candice narrowed her eyes. “I just don’t want the girl to overthink. It’s not necessary.” Alex picked up his pen again and signed his name on the document. He tossed it back in her face with a frosty look. “Fine. You can explain it to her.” Candice hummed a reply and was about to leave with the do

Alex then looked at Candice. “What he said—my car broke down,” she said as she picked up the glass of wine that Alex poured. She simply added, “If you want a drinking buddy, I’ll take his place.” “You take his place?” Alex emphasized. He looked at Candice and Jackson meaningfully and asked frivolo
Candice narrowed her eyes. “I will.” Sonia then dragged Alex back into the game. Alex followed her without sparing an extra glance at Candice. When Candice left the club, she turned around to Jackson and said, “Thank you.” Jackson answered softly, “You’re welcome. I’ll drive you back.” “It’s…”
“What is there to tell,” Candice muttered softly. She prepared some oatmeal for herself. Her period was around the corner, so she planned to skip coffee for the time being. She asked Alex, “You want some?” The answer she got was the door slamming on her. It was stormy last night and the road was

For the next few days, Candice brought lunch to Alex, even though it was all prepared by Alex.Candice found it a bit bothersome, but Alex seemed to enjoy it. It just so happened that both she and Yana had been meeting clients in the same area lately, so it was convenient to fulfill Alex's little wi

Alex's expression was gloomy as he stared at the necklace. "What’s with this gift? She’s a kid. What if she swallows it? It's a choking hazard! Let’s return it."Candice calmly took the necklace and placed it back in the box. She said to Ellis, "We'll give it to you when you grow up."Ellis, innocen
When Sieg called Alex to invite him for a drink, Alex was shopping for Ellis’s clothes with Candice. He had several little dresses draped over one arm as he dutifully assisted Candice.Sieg's voice was loud, causing Candice to pause in her selection of clothes and turn to Alex. "If you have somethin
Candice was brought back to Alex's own home. She felt like a puppet with no thoughts of her own and could only follow Alex's lead. Her mind was blank, and her body was weighted down as if filled with lead.Alex guided her into the study. "I wasn't planning on showing you this so soon, but after try
Candice felt nothing. She asked with a stiff tone, "If I do what you say, will you stop following me around and stop targeting Hanley?"She had to admit that she had invested too much time in Alex; she was once innocent and carefree, but she was just confused now. Recalling the past, Candice felt n

Candice had always known that Alex had a sharp tongue, but she never expected him to use Hanley's mother to jab at his wound.They all knew that Hanley had gone abroad this time because his mother was not doing well.She trembled slightly, but she was unsure if it was out of anger or if she was remi
