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
Candice did not respond to old Mr. Elysian’s words. She brought the old man to a nearby restaurant and had lunch with him before returning to the hospital. He barely ate anything during lunch and from his expression, his mood was not great either.He had wanted to bring up Alex a couple of times, bu
Candice looked at her and suddenly recalled how Nadia had once said that it was a pity Sonia wasn’t in reality TV dramas. No one was better than her at speaking in double meanings. Now, she had said so much, all for the sake of saying that Candice didn’t have any rights or qualifications to be spend
It was clear as day that old Mr. Elysian meant Sonia.Sonia bit her lip, her expression looking very unpleasant. She lowered her head, hiding her sorrowful expression.Alex's voice remained steady and deep. "She's not feeling well. She almost fainted at the company."Old Mr. Elysian, full of impatie
Candice hadn’t expected Sonia to go out of her way to provoke her. She still had to settle scores for her grandfather's matter, but now Sonia seemed to be making trouble again. However, thinking about her grandfather's matter, she could not avoid thinking about Yvonne.Feeling a bit annoyed, there w
Alex arrived swiftly. His shoulders were drenched from the downpour, making the severity of the weather clear.Jessica greeted him with a smile and a wave. "Have you eaten? If not, please join us."Glancing down, Alex's eyes unintentionally swept across Candice. She was silently observing the rain t
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
