Candice looked at the door. Sieg and Alex came in one after another. Sieg paused and narrowed his eyes. "Candice, why are you here?""Why can't I be here?" Candice replied."I've already said, there's two hundred thousand on that card. Is that not enough to solve it? Should I give you four hundred t
Alex's mind was totally blank and it was hard to even react.Until Candice, reminded by Yana, turned around with the child in her arms. Ellis had stopped crying, lying in Candice's arms, clutching her shoulder and sobbing softly.Alex saw clearly, a very cute child, fair and chubby, with eyes that l
The girl glanced around and found an excuse to leave.Alex suppressed emotions and slowly shifted his gaze to Ellis. For the past three days, he had been replaying the scene at the hospital in his mind.He heard the little girl calling Candice "mom," and heard Candice responding in a tone of unprece
Candice felt the gaze of William, and couldn't help but tense up. Ever since she learned that William was sick, she had been avoiding him as much as possible.Now she hoped he hadn't noticed her, especially since she was with Ellis.Fortunately, William didn't seem to recognize her.He was still cas
When Candice found Yana, her face was pale and her eyes full of fear as tears hung at the corners of her eyes.Candice's voice was trembling. "Where's Ellis?"Yana was squatting on the ground, crying. "William, William took Ellis away!"Both Candice and Alex's expressions changed. Candice's head was
Candice went to the hospital. Alex's wound was on his back, making it impossible for him to lie down. He sat on the sofa in the hospital room for a video conference.Seeing Candice, he gestured slightly, his posture natural as if he were not in a hospital room but in his office.She knew not to didn
Until she left the hospital, Candice didn't dare to dwell on the meaning behind Alex's words. She always felt that there was some deeper implication but didn't dare to think of the worst.When she hurried back to the hotel and saw Ellis playing with Yana, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.Yana
Candice pursed her lips and left with Ellis in her arms.Alex and the doctor followed them out. Seeing Candice's serious expression, the doctor thought she was worried about the child and comforted her. "The results will come out soon. The main concern with children's allergies is their lack of awa
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
