Candice was surprised. She turned away from the fireworks, pursed her lips, then smiled, and said, "Well, Happy New Year."Hanley took away his hand, and then showed Candice the dust on his fingers. "Maybe you just got it accidentally.""It's okay." Candice didn’t mind, and she also discovered that
Sieg had intentionally said this for Candice's benefit. It was not that he had found his conscience, but rather, he felt that no matter what, Alex was his brother in arms and he should not take a loss at the hand of a woman.He did some mental calculation and was just about to mention Alex's injury
Candice's heart skipped a beat as she watched her phone without accepting.The amount transferred wasn’t huge, but it was a four-digit number.It couldn’t have been a mistake.Another message popped up in the chat box. "Happy New Year."Candice didn’t reply, but her eyes were fixed on the message, c

Dealing with the social obligations of the matchmaking group was more exhausting than being in the business arena. When Candice finally managed to break free, the ball had already started.Naturally, she entered with Hanley, and at a glance, she saw Alex by the dance floor, standing next to a delica
Yuna didn’t notice, but she met Alex's dark and deep gaze.Candice pursed her lips and walked away. When Yuna and Alex were talking, there was a very familiar and intimate feeling. Even Sonia had never received such a tone.Candice felt she understood Alex. He was just heartless. That was why he had
Hanley's trip took a week. In the beginning, he contacted Candice and talked about his mother's situation.As time went by, he seemed to get busier and his contact with Candice lessened. Work at the studio was also all passed to Ryan.Yana asked Hannah about the situation. She said that their mother
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'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
