The message hovered weightlessly above the text box:

Don’t want to come upstairs? I can bring it down to you.

Candice stared at that line.

Her heart… felt suspended in midair.

After a long pause, she replied simply:

I’ve already eaten. On my way to the office.

As soon as she hit send, she turned off her phone and tossed it aside.

Even in the early morning, the summer sun was unbearably scorching. The blazing heat on her face made her squint, her thoughts foggy, her breathing shallow.

God, she hated this feeling.

Hated it, hated it…

Her eyes watered from the intense glare. Then suddenly, she flipped the sun visor down with force and restarted the engine, her expression cool and collected.

She refused to be ruled by emotion.

Not by anyone.

By the time Candice arrived at the office, it wasn’t long before Charlie and Jerry also showed up.

    Candice: “...!”Sophia!You traitor! Spy! Useless saboteur!Are you trying to kill me!?At this moment, Charlie was no different from a walking time bomb in her eyes—one that could go off in her house at any second. Even glancing at him filled her with anxiety and dread.But being the skilled actress she was, she quickly returned her widened eyes to normal.Those sly fox-like eyes of hers curved into a smile, radiating an air of "peace and harmony."“Sophia, you’re so thoughtful,” she said with a sugary tone. “Thank you so much, my dearest bestie…”I’m going to kill you!Sophia felt like she’d been turned into a pincushion by the daggers hidden in her best friend’s smile. She waved her hand sheepishly.“ah, no need to thank me~”Spare me, bestie~~But Mr. Clemens gave me so much… a Birkin 20 in white, okay~~~

    Even though nearly thirty years had passed,the man before her didn’t look all that different from back then.Older, yes—with some wrinkles—but still dignified, still carrying that refined handsomeness from his youth.The eldest son of the Lawrence family…He was James.She had lived with her mother in the Lawrence household for many years, only leaving when she started university and moved to Vanclyn.Now, James was looking at Margaret up close.His gaze froze.Their expressions made both Candice and Robert feel a flicker of suspicion.“You’re Aunt Smith’s daughter… Maria?”James dug through layers of memory and pulled out the image of a young, innocent face.He was utterly shocked.Margaret’s heart pounded wildly.She’d never dreamed that after all these years, they would meet again—and in this way, no less.But

    She knew he was joking.Even if he wasn’t, it still wasn’t realistic.Even if he could make it real, it would come at the cost of winning against his parents. He might be happy—but for her, it could be the start of another nightmare.She had just escaped one den of wolves; she wasn’t about to walk into a tiger’s lair.Better to enjoy the pleasure while it lasted, then quit while she was ahead. No need for any results.Charlie looked at the beautiful face before him, smiling with cool detachment. His expression darkened slightly.His eyes grew deep and unreadable for a moment, but then softened again.“Being single isn’t so bad. But if you ever change your mind, make sure I’m the first one you tell.”Candice neither agreed nor disagreed.It was a false proposition to begin with.She tugged on his tie and kissed him again.Right now, they were burning like

    “I…”Candice glanced around nervously, then lowered her voice.“I’m afraid I might be pregnant. We… didn’t use protection either time. And last night, you just had to do it in the water…”Charlie was silent for a long while.She kept looking around anxiously, scared they’d run into someone they knew—or worse, that someone might recognize him and take a photo. He was way too eye-catching, and these days people were snapping photos of everything—flowers, stray cats… much less a man like him.Suddenly, her body felt weightless—he had swept her up into his arms.“Put me down!” she hissed.It was dark last night, and no one had been around. But now they were in a hospital—a princess carry? Way too over the top!Charlie ignored her protests and carried her through the most crowded corridor, looking as calm and natural as if he di

    Sophia walked through the door.The sound of it made Candice nearly jump out of her soul.She instinctively reached to pull Charlie into the bedroom to hide him—like some shady affair where she’d secretly "kept" a young pretty boy and didn’t want her best friend to find out.Just as her hand caught his, he turned his palm and laced their fingers together. Calm and composed, he smiled faintly and exhaled,“Relax, Candice. It’s too late now.”Candice’s pupils trembled.She slowly, stiffly turned her head.In the living room, Sophia stood there in a crisp, sharp white suit, her almond eyes wide open, shock slowly shifting into excitement.She sauntered in casually, but her radar-sharp gaze had already locked on the pair by the dining table. Her eyes flicked from the breakfast on the table, to their interlocked hands, and her smile turned suggestive.“You two… having bre
