Sawyer went out to buy food for Alex, leaving only Alex and Candice in the entire house.Alex's voice rang out casually. "Darius came to Dorrington to discuss business. He'll be heading back to Solaris tomorrow morning. He can't spend the New Year in Dorrington; it wouldn't look good to Old Mr. Quin
Daniel's calls kept coming, but Alex ignored each one. However, Candice felt uncomfortable as she had her dinner. She set down her utensils and coolly asked Alex, "Can you leave now?"Alex paused, his phone on the table still flashing incessantly. Even though it was in silent mode, calls and messag
Considering herself straightforward, Nina smiled as she awaited Alex's response.Alex glanced at her, the slight furrow on his brow smoothing out. His indifferent eyes showed no ripples of emotion."I'm not interested in playing these boring games with you," he said before he left. Nina's face momen
Nina's tone carried a kind of indescribable mockery. She looked at Candice unabashedly, then lightly scoffed and said, "But it's better that it’s not Alex's. I'm about to get engaged to him. If a child pops up now, it would be quite troublesome."Candice stood there quietly. She watched Nina approac
Candice found Daniel's guard and vigilance ridiculous. What did her pregnancy have to do with them?Nina smiled and looked at Candice, then turned to Daniel. Seeing his obvious displeasure, she said with a smile, "Candice, we seem to have some fate between us. How about I become your child's godmoth
She calmed her emotions and thanked Nadia. Nadia waved her hand and said cheerfully, "It's nothing. Just let me be the godmother to your child in the future. Oh right, have you thought of a name for the child?"Candice hesitated. Although she was four months pregnant, she had been so busy before th
Since Candice returned to Dorrington, she’d had no contact with Henry.He looked pretty much the same as he before, still appearing gentle and refined, with a scholarly and elegant demeanor.Candice stood a few steps away, looking at his hand around Ava's waist, but her face showed no expression. Th
Nina smiled at him, and Alex's gaze darkened slightly.She deliberately lowered her voice, and Candice couldn’t hear what she was saying. She could only see Nina's smile and the way Alex's eyelashes drooped.Candice turned and went back into the restaurant. She ran into Hanley as soon as she entered
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
