After listening to Florence, Sienna glanced at Elio. Elio nervously swallowed, his mind racing with worry that Sienna might reject his proposal to Candice. His hands, damp with sweat, fidgeted against his pants, a clear sign of his anxiety. Sienna lifted the envelope slightly, saying, "Elio, actually…" Before Sienna could finish her sentence, Elio bowed his head. He was trembling with nerves. "Aunt Sienna, I will cherish Candice even more than you do. Please, allow me to marry her."Sienna was taken aback. Daniel chuckled softly, murmuring, "Look at what you've done to poor Elio."Sienna quickly explained, "I just wanted to say that all these formalities aren't necessary. Our family is very easygoing; we won't make things difficult for you two young people."Elio breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Aunt Sienna.""Please, have a seat," Sienna gestured, taking her own seat and motioning for him to do the same.Elio sat down, picked up his cup, and took a sip, looking visib

The Morrisons had always doted on Candice.Upon her request, they responded with warm smiles, saying, "Certainly, you two take care of it.""Thank you, Grandpa Gary and Grandma Florence," Elio expressed with sincerity, "and to Uncle Daniel and Aunt Sienna, thank you as well."Elio's eyes gleamed with gratitude, a gentle curve gracing his lips.Observing his joy, Candice couldn't help but feel a warmth blossom inside her.Elio maintained his hold on her hand, discreetly caressing it when no one was looking.Even after dinner at Morrison Residence, Elio remained in good spirits. He joined the elders for a few extra drinks, relishing their animated discussions about life.Meanwhile, Candice retreated to her room to freshen up and prepare for bed."Leo, you've had a few too many drinks. It's not safe for you to drive. Why don't you stay the night?" Gary's speech was slurred from the alcohol's influence.Just as Elio was considering the offer, Florence stepped in, placing her hand

After their kiss, Candice found herself breathless.Reluctantly, Elio withdrew from her tender lips, their foreheads meeting as they exchanged heavy, tangled breaths.The atmosphere in the room grew charged, infused with an undeniable sense of desire.Feeling shy and overwhelmed, Candice lowered her eyes, unable to muster the courage to meet Elio's intense gaze."I should go now," Elio broke the silence, his voice barely above a whisper."Okay," Candice replied softly."Perhaps if you find the time, you should come and see me more often," Elio murmured gently.Candice felt a pang of confusion. Why was it up to her to initiate their dates?"Can't you be the one to come visit me?" Candice whispered.Elio suppressed a smile, his lips curling slightly. "I could. It's just that your family is always around, and your office is quite busy."Candice now understood his implication. He preferred meeting in private, either in his office or at home.In a gentle tone, she replied, "Sure.

Candice's lips formed a gentle smile as she nodded in acknowledgment.Reaching for a piece of candy, Josie couldn't help but let out a sigh. "You know, Mrs. Hoffis actually prepared all these sweets for me. It seems like he's just trying to cut corners by re-gifting them to you."Candice's smile gradually faded at Josie's words.As if realizing her mistake, Josie swiftly attempted to backtrack, offering a feigned apology, "I'm sorry, Candice. I was just speaking my mind. I hope I didn't upset you."Candice forced a polite smile and shook her head."I sincerely wish both of you a lifetime filled with love and happiness," Josie added."Thank you," Candice replied.As Josie savored her coffee, she couldn't help but cast a cold glance at the scattered candies on the table, feeling a twinge of resentment stirring within her.Placing her cup back on the table, she began, "I'm here today to talk about Elio.""Sure, go ahead," Candice responded."Do you have any idea why Leo decided

As Josie vanished from sight, Candice retrieved her phone, promptly settling the bill for the two coffees before departing herself.On her way back to the office, she couldn't resist glancing at her phone to check the date.With the wedding arranged by the Hoffis family for Josie and Elio just over 20 days away, the pressure on Josie must have been mounting.Despite this, Candice's inner resolve rang clear. "As long as Elio remains unattached and still wishes to marry me, I'll hold firm in my carefree, love-struck state, regardless of others' opinions."However, there was one thing she couldn't tolerate—betrayal.…As the evening approached and the workday persisted, Candice's phone buzzed with a message from Jasper."Candice, I've received orders from Uncle Elio. Starting today, I won't be able to give you rides home. He'll be handling that instead."Candice swiftly replied, "But we travel the same route, unlike him."Jasper responded, "That's true, but he's the one calling t

As Josie turned, her gaze fell upon Candice. Instantly, her smile froze, and the light in her eyes dimmed.Meanwhile, Candice was surprised to find Josie lingering nearby.Her discomfort grew as she observed Josie approaching Elio—a situation that became increasingly unsettling given Josie's previous interaction with Candice.With a gentle curve of her lips, Candice greeted, "Hey, Josie."Meanwhile, Josie managed a tight smile. "I need to speak with Elio."Stealing a glance at Elio, Candice inquired, "Should I excuse myself?"Without hesitation, Elio moved forward, gently clasping Candice's hand. "It's fine, you can stay."Josie's frown deepened as she murmured, "Leo, this is a private matter.""Whatever it is, there's nothing between us that Candice can't hear," Elio affirmed, holding Candice's hand as they walked toward the office.A warmth spread through Candice as she observed their intertwined hands, her smile impossible to contain.Josie followed them into the office, t

Josie couldn't grasp Candice's rationale. "But why?" she countered.Candice remained composed as she explained, "Firstly, those items were gifted to you, so they rightfully belong to you."Secondly, aside from their monetary value, those possessions don't have a practical use. They need to be preserved and passed down to the next generation. Ultimately, they're not something I can rightfully claim."Thirdly, Elio has already given me plenty of jewelry during our engagement, which I can pass down to future generations."Josie took a deep breath, feeling as though she were on the brink of losing her sanity.It all felt completely absurd.She was left dumbfounded, utterly bewildered by Candice's innocent and straightforward outlook on life.Still, Josie's intrigue regarding Elio's feelings toward Candice persisted, especially given Candice's perceived naivety.Despite Josie's best efforts to manipulate Candice, she found herself increasingly frustrated by her inability to sway her

Fearing Elio might misconstrue her words, Candice hastily explained, "Please, don't be angry. I didn't mean to criticize her, I just—"Elio promptly intervened, "I'm not angry. I'm just curious. If you think she's being deceitful, why do you still treat her with such kindness and respect?""Her actions are her own. As long as I steer clear, she won't involve me. There's no reason for me to engage in conflict and create unnecessary tension," Candice explained calmly.Elio couldn't resist tenderly stroking Candice's head, murmuring, "Your wisdom never fails to impress."Candice smiled in acknowledgment.As Elio's eyes remained fixated on her lips, his fingertips traced a delicate path against them, revealing a blend of desire and yearning in his gaze.Feeling Elio's tender caress, Candice's heart raced with anticipation.She had been looking forward to spending time with him.But whenever they found themselves alone, Elio grappled with the urge to kiss her, their moments together
