Not long after ending the conversation with Kayla, Nadia came over and said that a client of Burning Star in Stugan City wanted to treat them to a meal and asked Candice to go with her.Candice remembered the first time she met Hanley in Stugan City, he was conducting an exhibition. She had been luc
Almost as soon as Candice exited, Henry came over from the side.The anger on his face was obvious, and he was even more unhappy when he saw Candice. He began to question angrily. "What are you doing here? Did you secretly follow me here? And what did you just say to Ava?"He launched a barrage of q
Daniel also saw Candice and frowned slightly. His originally stern expression now had a hint of displeasure.Candice met his gaze for a moment then continued walking.Dinner was scheduled to be in the lobby, and just before Candice went over, she received a call from Tina. The others went ahead as s
Nina's face was still pale from the shock, but she maintained a composed demeanor as she looked directly at Alex. "If that's the case, then I'll bless you both." She released her grip on Helen's hand and wore a desolate smile on her face. "Mrs. Elysian, I'll head back first. There seems to have been
The weather in Stugan City was clear when they left the next day.By the time the plane landed at Dorrington City Airport, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.Everyone had agreed to go out for a barbecue together.Candice had just turned her phone on and there were several missed calls and
Henry's words successfully stopped Candice in her tracks.She looked back at him. Her face icy and her eyes filled with unfathomable coldness.Henry suddenly met her gaze and his heart tightened. He realized that he had blurted out his inner thoughts without restraint.He adjusted his expression and
Coming out of the doctor's office, Candice's mind was blank. She barely managed to steady herself against the wall to prevent herself from falling.The words "malformed" kept echoing in her mind.The fear and confusion welling up from within made her unsure of how to react."Don't rush to conclusion
The study was quiet, and Alex's pitch black eyes seemed even colder. His gaze slowly fell on the examination report. Candice's name at the top was clearly visible.In the living room, Helen was sitting with a glass of water. She was wearing an expensive silk nightgown, and had the air of a wealthy l
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
