In Solaris, Candice had previously enlisted Angela's help in finding a nice apartment in a good location with a decent layout. After coordinating the details with Ryan, she settled comfortably into her new home in Solaris.With Hanley and others taking care of things in Dorrington, Candice wasn’t to
Candice didn't reply Yana's message. She powered off her phone and continued working on the new planning proposal. During the initial days at Solaris, she felt somewhat uneasy, dealing with unfamiliar weather, surroundings, tastes, and the strange accents she heard every day when returning home.Sh
At the same time, in Dorrington, a man dressed in a well-tailored dark suit stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, giving off an air of silent melancholy. His deep, brooding gaze and intensified aura portrayed a sense of unapproachable aloofness.Alex asked in a low voice, "Are you sure she's in Sout
Yana didn't stay in South City for long. Before leaving, she went shopping for Ellis and bought a bunch of things, including clothes, formula, toys, and diapers. She basically wanted to grab everything from the baby section.Candice, accompanied by Ellis, bade her farewell. Yana was reluctant to let
Yana's ex-classmate was called Zack Yancey.As they entered the banquet hall, he immediately distanced himself from Candice. "Just contact me when you leave. Yana ordered me to make sure you get back safely."Candice chuckled. "Does she think there are dinosaurs here?"Zack shrugged. "Maybe."Just a
Candice followed Zack into the car and took a moment to explain the conversation with Catherine that had caused people to misunderstand their relationship, but Zack didn't mind. He graciously drove Candice back to the hotel.Despite the evening's hiccups, Candice did gain something. She had exchange
Sieg wore a somewhat impatient expression. Lately, his family had brought up the topic of him and Yana again, and he couldn't shake the feeling that Yana's appearance here wasn't a mere coincidence but rather a calculated move.Before he could articulate his sarcastic remarks, he saw Yana holding a
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

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
