Candice’s tone was somewhat bitter.Meanwhile, Alex’s side had slowed down. He asked her in an eased tone, “What, you’re asking me on her behalf?”While his tone was mocking, Candice felt a little relieved. At least Alex didn’t loan Yvonne the money.She looked down and said, “Don’t loan her any mon
Candice’s grandfather wasn’t doing well. He looked at Candice with half-opened eyes and couldn’t say another word after a long time.The dean then reminded Candice from the back. “He kept on calling for you after he woke up.”Candice tucked in her grandpa’s blanket and said, “Rest well. You can tell
Yvonne was obviously stunned. After a moment of silence, she said, “I don’t.”“You don’t?” Candice repeated it once more, but she couldn’t even feel her emotion anymore. She simply asked Yvonne, “When you asked him, have you ever thought that he might be unwell?”Yvonne mumbled, “He never told me he
Candice paused and then walked in.When Alex heard Kayla calling out, he turned and looked.His dark eyes glared at Candice. After a moment, he let out a sneer and said, “What took you so long?”Candice paused and looked down before saying, “I’m sorry. This is my problem. Something urgent came up.”
Candice stood outside the door for a while. Only when there was no sound of them chatting did she push the door open and enter.She saw the water splashed from the cup.It was probably something Daniel did when he was angry just now.She paused and lowered her eyes, speaking with a low voice. “Chair
Jackson looked at Candice, worried, and said softly, “You can tell me anything.”Candice tried her best to smile. “Thank you for staying here the whole day. You haven’t had dinner, right? My treat.”It was obvious she didn’t want to talk to Jackson about her grandfather. Jackson gave her a good look
It was Sieg.Candice frowned slightly. She had just wanted to tell Jackson that she would head to the parking lot first when she saw Sieg raise his head.When he saw Jackson and Candice together, his eyes narrowed as he burst out laughing.“Oh, Jackson. The reason that you didn’t want to come out af
Candice said to Alex, “We’re here.”However, Alex didn’t move. Because of all the wine he drank, his voice sounded raspy. “Are you in so much rush to see Jackson?”His tone was quite faint, as if there was not much emotion inside.Candice paused. “Sieg told you?”No one would monitor her like that o
After moving to Marina Bay Villa, Alex almost never worked overtime. Every day, he would appear at Ya Development, waiting for Candice to get off work. As for the BMW he gave Candice, it was left mostly unused.The few ladies in the company were familiar with Alex and were extremely envious of Candi
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 mentioned someone having their eyes on him, and Candice hadn’t thought much about it at first. But later, she realized it was true when she saw a photo Kayla sent her. It showed a young, pretty woman with Sawyer, who seemed quite respectful toward her. What caught Candice's attention the most
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
Looking at the lemon candies on the table, Candice blinked in slight confusion as she looked up at Hanley.Hanley remained composed. Noticing Candice's gaze, he locked eyes with her and pursed his lips slightly when he caught the worry and guilt in her eyes.After a moment, he said, "You can tell me
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
