To be fair, Hanley looked quite handsome. Unlike the aristocratic and aloof demeanor of Alex, Hanley had fair skin, profound facial features, and a pair of peach-blossom eyes that naturally exuded a hint of emotion. However, his straight and high nose bridge gave him no trace of femininity.Candice
It was as if Peach had been holding back for a long time. She couldn’t stop crying. She was receiving a blood transfusion, but now because of her movement there was blood flowing back through the infusion tube.Candice’s attention was still on what Peach had just said. Her mind was in disarray as sh
Candice quickly recalled the details of the past, and she suddenly realized that the interaction between Sonia and Yvonne might be deeper than she had thought.Could the matter of her grandfather also be related to her?Candice immediately slammed on the brakes on her thoughts. Some things had no ev
The rain was pouring heavily. Candice waited in the hotel lobby for a while before a hired car finally arrived.When she arrived at the hospital, a lightning bolt streaked across the sky. Candice’s face remained expressionless, and her black eyes, like deep and still pools, appeared particularly ind
Sonia was stunned momentarily before smiling. "Peach is quite cute."Candice nodded slightly. "She likes you quite a bit too. She thinks you’re gentle and that you bring her food too." She paused for a moment before continuing. "I never thought that you had such a good relationship with her."Her wo
Alex’s words were sarcastic and Candice felt as if her heart was being ruthlessly squeezed.She looked at Alex, feeling that the face she was looking at was somewhat foreign.He was so protective of Sonia that he noticed her tiny bit of suspicion and immediately shut it down strongly."Lex..." Sonia
Candice and Alex’s first meeting had been very miserable.Her grandfather’s sudden car crash had forced her to spend all her time in the hospital. The young girl who had just entered university had no idea of how anything worked. She had run around in a flurry, seeking justice for her grandfather.H
Before they went over, Alex’s phone started ringing. He moved to the side to pick up the call.Sonia watched him leave and said softly to Candice, "If you're in a hurry to go to the hospital, you can go first. I'll go with Lex later."Seeing through her intentions, Candice turned around without any
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'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
