Candice texted a reply. "I'm busy at the moment."Yet, Elio continued to message her."Can we talk in person?""Candice, you didn't turn me down initially. So, why the sudden change in your behavior? What do you mean by this?""I'm waiting for you. Are you coming down, or should I come up?"Candice stared at Elio's messages on her phone, unsure how to respond. As her anxiety mounted, she turned and glanced at Vanessa.With her extensive experience in matters of the heart, Vanessa was often regarded as somewhat of a love guru. Candice scooted her chair closer to Vanessa and whispered, "Vanessa, can I ask you something?"Vanessa, who had been dozing off with her head resting on the desk, murmured sleepily, "Go ahead.""My friend has had a crush on a guy she's known since they were kids. However, he's always kept his distance and even avoids her. He doesn't seem to like her much."But lately, as they've both gotten older, he's been reaching out to her and they've slept together t

"Where's Candice," asked Elio."Mr. Hoffis, Candice just left with her bag," the employee replied respectfully.Without a word, Elio turned and dashed toward the elevator, jabbing the button impatiently. As he watched the floor numbers shift slowly, he pulled out his phone and dialed Candice's number.He listened to the connecting tone for a while before the call suddenly dropped. He dialed again, only for Candice to disconnect once more. After the third attempt ended in the same manner, he gave up resignedly.By the time Elio made it outside the first-floor lobby, Candice was nowhere to be found. Feeling dejected, he returned upstairs. He was distracted all day, unable to concentrate on his work.…As night descended, the neon lights from outside illuminated Elio through the glass window. He stood by the window staring at the night sky with his hands in his pockets.The bustling street below sharply contrasted with the emptiness he felt inside. He couldn't fathom why Candice ha

Elio felt a wave of panic and demanded angrily, "What are you implying?"Sean swallowed hard, his voice tinged with fear as he explained, "Mr. Hoffis, if a woman agrees to sleep with you but then avoids you, it's likely because she's intimidated by your wealth and influence. She doesn't actually have feelings for you."Elio suppressed his anger and emphasized each word sharply. "She isn't short of money, nor is she lacking in influence. She has everything."His words completely floored Sean. His mind was in overdrive, trying to process the fact that Elio had hooked up with Candice. It was like Elio was defying the Morrisons with every breath!Sean couldn't help but be in awe. It seemed like true love was indeed capable of conquering any challenge. Elio must have felt like he had no regrets left in his life."Mr. Hoffis, some women are naturally gentle and kind-hearted. Even if they come from powerful families, they can be very timid at heart."Having been sheltered since childhoo

Candice's emotions swirled as she anxiously muttered, "It's me."Elio's breathing grew heavy. Overcome with nerves, he found himself speechless for a long moment. Unsure of why Candice had called, he waited for her to continue."Are you… free?" Candice asked timidly, her voice barely above a whisper."Yes, I'm free," Elio replied immediately."Could we meet and talk in person?""Of course," Elio responded without hesitation. He then added, "Where should we meet? I can come to pick you up."Candice paused to think. Realizing that everywhere was crowded and they risked being seen, she decided on a safer approach. "You don't have to pick me up. I'll come to your place instead. I'll be there in half an hour.""Alright," Elio replied.Once she hung up, Candice rose to her feet, put on a mask, and stepped out of the public restroom.…Elio was sitting in his car en route to the airport. After ending the call, he firmly instructed, "Turn around and head back home.""But Mr. Hoffis,

Candice hung her head, her voice barely above a whisper as she uttered sadly, "I'm pregnant."Elio's heart skipped a beat at her revelation; excitement electrified every nerve and fiber of his being.He sprang up from his seat, almost feeling the urge to jump up and shout at the top of his lungs to release the excitement coursing through him. Yet, he managed to rein in his emotions.Candice was carrying his baby? Was he really going to be the father to Candice's child? It felt surreal, like a dream. He struggled to contain the overwhelming happiness within him.His reaction startled Candice. She glanced up and noticed his clenched fists, his back turned toward her, and his head tilted upward. She struggled to decipher his emotions.Was he, like her, grappling with the harshness of reality? Or did he share her sense of being lost and uncertain about the next steps?Candice had steeled herself for this conversation. Softly, she said, "Don't worry. I'm not here to force any responsi

Candice's heart thudded in her ears, threatening to break free. Her big, doe-like eyes were fixed on Elio, her mind reeling. The thought of Elio proposing was irresistibly enticing and she was bewildered by the sudden turn of events.Elio leaned forward, gracefully dropping to one knee while gently taking her hand. The gesture was so unexpected that Candice instinctively retreated, pressing herself against the couch as she stared at him in utter disbelief.Down on one knee, Elio gripped her hand firmly. His eyes were earnest and intense as he looked up at her. In a voice that was both tender and urgent, he asked, "Candice, will you marry me?"Candice was stunned. The thought that Elio would propose solely for the sake of their child overwhelmed her with a mix of joy and concern. With a hesitant tone, she replied, "Our families won't agree to this.""As long as you say yes, I'll handle everything else," Elio stated.Candice couldn't bear the thought of anything harming the child sh

What kind of photo is it that she mustn't see? Is it another woman? Feeling her patience wane, Candice said, "I'm going back now." Elio approached her and remarked, "I'll go with you and explain everything to your family." "No, you can't." Candice quickly stopped him, her nerves showing. "Let me first see how they feel about it. We can decide based on that." "No matter the situation or the outcome, I'm willing to bear it all alone. You don't have to worry about me," Elio reassured her. Worrying there might be unforeseen events, he was anxious to solidify their relationship and get the marriage certificate so he could finally be at ease. "There's no need to rush. Let's take it slow. I'll persuade my family, and you can do the same with yours. Is that okay?" Candice asked. Still, Elio was worried that something might go wrong. However, he couldn't be too hasty and risk scaring Candice, as it might potentially ruin everything. "Okay, I'll follow your lead." Candice curious

Josie looked somewhat taken aback. "Candice, you're here too?" Elio asked, "Is there something you need to talk to me about?" Josie forced a smile. "I wanted to discuss our wedding next month. Mrs. Hoffis has been pressuring me, and I had no idea what to do. I thought we could talk it over." Candice felt a wave of anxiety washing over her, and she nervously clenched her fists. Turning to Candice, Josie smiled and asked, "Candice, I wish to talk to Leo for a moment. Could you…?" Candice quickly responded, "I have something to attend to. You two talk, I'll head out." Just as she finished her words and was about to leave, Elio grabbed her wrist. "You don't need to go. Stay and listen." Candice was stunned.Josie's face darkened, and she said in embarrassment, "Leo, this isn't appropriate. This is between the two of us. Candice is an outsider." Elio replied solemnly, "She's not an outsider. She's my wife." Candice was shocked by his words. Josie was even more so. Both
