Candice hadn't spent much time with Shawn, but she knew that when Alex was a child in the Elysian family, he always stayed by Shawn's side. Candice used to accompany Alex to spend time with Shawn, who would often say that she would be the Elysian family's granddaughter-in-law in the future. Unlike
Mason's gaze returned in just a moment. Candice originally wanted to remind Yana, but after some consideration, she chose to stay silent. Just then, Yana's face lit up as she looked at a young man approaching—more fittingly described as a boy.The boy was wearing a basketball jersey casually covere
Caspian thought Candice would at least feel a bit awkward, especially after being directly told in public that she lacked money.However, she calmly responded, "What does my financial situation have to do with you? I don't owe anything to the Baldwin family, do I?"With that, she stood up. Just as s
Alex's words had barbs in them and Candice pursed her lips, not responding.The items Alex’s grandfather had given her were all worth at least five figures, even if they were just small trinkets. There was a bracelet among them, and Candice didn’t know if Alex still remembered it.That was the year
As Candice returned she heard Alex's words. She paused at the door for a moment before she pushed it open and entered.Seeing her return, the old man passed a menu over. "Candy, why don't you take a look and see what you’d like to eat?”Candice did not decline. She ordered two dishes but when they w
It was as if the reply was instant the moment she sent out her message. A glint flashed in Sonia's eyes.Xavier stood by the side watching her, his expression worried. "Are you all right?"Sonia suddenly regained her senses. She bit the corner of her lip and in a weak tone, said, "I'm fine."Xavier
Candice looked up. "What's up?"Hanley held a box and placed it in front of Candice. "When I went to see Zane today, he asked me to give this to you."Candice was slightly stunned. The box contained a new series from Blue Artifact. When she had last met Zane, she had casually mentioned her interest
Sonia's eyes widened as she looked at the old man. "Grandpa Elysian, what are you talking about?"The old man's voice was deep. "Name your conditions. As long as they are reasonable, I will agree to them. Alex is still young and full of life. Enjoying life is normal. But once he goes overboard, the
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
