Oscar spoke earnestly, "I've seen your granddaughter. She's adorable and bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Alex.""Granddaughter?" A hint of disdain flickered across Daniel's face, almost as if he found the notion amusing.He glanced at Oscar and declared, "I will never welcome Candice and her ill
As soon as Candice followed Oscar inside, she spotted Daniel sitting in the main seat.She halted her steps, not approaching any further.Daniel raised his hawk-like gaze, his voice cold and deep as he said, "You’re quite hard to invite, aren’t you?"Candice replied calmly, "Mr. Elysian, your invita
Candice calmed down a bit and looked at Alex. "How did you know we were here?""Oscar said Daniel was looking for you." Alex's voice was hoarse."Yeah." Candice glanced at Ellis and said dryly, "Thanks."If it weren't for Alex's arrival, Daniel would have surely not let them off easily, and who know

Erica rested her chin on her hand. "You used to work at Aether Corporation, right? I know Alex. I remember you brought something to me once."Candice pursed her lips. "I'm not with Aether Corporation any more.""I know," Erica said innocently, pointing to the documents in Candice's hand. "You're wit
Candice had a rare dream that night. It was a jumble of everything—her twenty-something self, Daniel, Alex, and later, even Sonia and Nina. Everyone was laughing, though she couldn't fathom why, until she followed their gaze to see another version of herself standing in the corner, looking dishevele
The hotel was nestled at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, where soaking in the hot springs while gazing at the perennially snow-covered peaks was a true delight.Candice returned to her room with Ellis, brushing off Lauren's remarks about one-night stands with hot guys as a joke. She wasn't parti
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
