Candice had never expressed her dislike and hatred for Sonia so directly in front of Alex. However, the pain and anger that had been suppressed in her heart couldn't be contained when she thought about her grandfather's death and Sonia's unrepentant and arrogant attitude.Her grandfather’s death cou
Candice abruptly ended the call. Henry's words sounded ludicrous. He had been forcing Candice to break up with Alex previously, and now he had suddenly changed his stance. He must have learned about Alex's identity and deemed it advantageous.A hint of mockery flickered in her eyes. Henry had truly
"Hey, why are you walking so fast? Didn't you see Mr. Elysian? Is he here to see you?" Angela repeatedly reached out to grab Candice, sounding puzzled.Candice didn't slow down. "He's not waiting for me."Sonia was still around today, so Alex should be here to pick her up. Candice didn’t really car
"She’s pregnant, so she should stay at home and take care of her unborn baby instead of running around," Henry said to Alex with a warning tone while furrowing his brows. "Although my family isn't wealthy, I’ve showered Candy with love since she was little. I don’t care that you’re rich and powerfu
Due to inertia, Candice subconsciously reached out and grabbed his arm. Alex shot her a cold glance, then stood up as well.He stood behind her, his palm securely supporting her arm to prevent her from stumbling again. The two of them were close enough for her to feel the movement of his chest when
He asked the question with uncertainty and patiently waited for her response. Candice hesitated as she glanced at the hospital bracelet on her wrist. The doctor had told her to stay in the hospital for two days and get some rest before being discharged, and Alex had promptly arranged for her admiss
Before Alex could respond, the door to the ward swung open.Hanley had rushed in earlier without properly closing the door, leaving a slight gap. The people on both ends of the door froze. Hanley sat by Candice's hospital bed, looking calmly at Alex.Alex halted at the entrance, his once tranquil e
Candice was lying in bed and the doctor had yet to finish asking about the situation when Hanley entered. He had gone to get the check-up appointment form.After listening to the doctor's words, Hanley turned around and went to the nurse's station to borrow a wheelchair.Candice frowned slightly, sh
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
