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

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

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

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
