Candice didn't expect Shawn to actively arrange a meeting with her. She thought that after Daniel's matter, he wouldn't want to see her again. However, when Shawn saw Ellis, he was still very happy and even asked Bruno to bring some small toys out for her.Candice kept her eyes lowered, unsure of w
When Candice arrived at the bar, the first thing she saw was Alex. He had his own habit, always preferring to sit in the same spot every time.Thinking about what Shawn had said, she felt that Alex was indeed quite stubborn, almost as if he couldn't be found if he changed his seat.She didn't know w
Alex's voice was hoarse, and his tone was unlike anything before. Candice knew he was drunk.She wanted to push Alex away, but there was no way. Hence, she could only maintain this difficult position and say, "Alex, you're drunk.""Mmm, I know." Alex's hand, which had been caressing her neck, slowly
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have..." Alex's hoarse voice sounded, but Candice just felt exhausted.She wanted to leave, to keep her distance from him, but she was held tightly by him, clinging stubbornly like clutching at a lifeline, refusing to let go.Candice felt desolate inside. She didn't know wh
Sieg said that Alex hadn't been to the company in three days.He wasn't at home either, his phone was unreachable, and he couldn't be found in familiar places.After digesting everything Sieg had said, Candice sat in the living room for a long time.She had no idea that in places she didn't know abo
It was already 10 p.m. Alex's voice sounded hoarse as he said, "I'm really happy that you came to see me, Candice. I miss you a lot, I really want to see you."Candice lowered her eyelashes. "I don't want to see you.""I know..." Alex smiled bitterly, then looked at the neon lights outside the hotel
Candice paused. "He's discharged from the hospital after recovering. What's the big deal?""You're right, but Sieg said he shouldn't have been discharged now. His condition isn't stable yet; it was his own insistence."Yana spoke as she looked at Candice.She felt a sigh in her heart. She didn't exp
Alex had a naturally captivating voice. When he spoke in a softer tone, it was even more pleasing to the ear.He looked deeply at Candice and shared, "I've partnered with Darius, so I'll be around here more often now."Candice had already heard about this from Darius, but she hadn't expected Alex to
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
