Candice left her parents’ house at six in the morning.

Usually by that time, her dad would be out for his morning walk, and her mom would already be in the kitchen making breakfast. But today, both were still asleep—after all, they hadn’t gone to bed until past 2 a.m., which was a late night for them.

She left a note stuck on the fridge.

After sneaking out of the neighborhood in disguise, she took a cab to Sophia’s place.

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 487 Even If You Aren't Sick of Acting, I'm Utterly Sick of Watching It

    The hand resting on her knee clenched violently, her fingernails piercing into the flesh of her palm.That old crone truly refuses to grant her a single shred of dignity!"Mom, did I do something wrong to upset you again?"Though she desperately wished she could skin Mrs. Lawrence alive, her face put on a weak, sorrowful display, and tears flowed completely on command. The exact moment the tears fell, her gaze locked onto James by her side with pinpoint accuracy.The other people at the table either lowered their eyes and pretended not to hear, or watched awkwardly, collectively enjoying a drama that was all too familiar to the Lawrences, yet highly entertaining to the outsiders.A trace of a dilemma surfaced on James's face. He wanted to speak up but didn't dare to, especially upon catching the look his mother shot him. Turning his head, he met Denise’s tear-filled, intensely aggrieved expression. Caught between a rock and a hard place, an i

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 486 Returning to the Lawrence family

    Hearing her say this, Charlie grew instantly tense. "Are you feeling unwell?"He immediately reached for the phone, preparing to call the family doctor over.Candice hurriedly held him back. "...I'm not unwell! I'm perfectly fine! You absolutely must not call the doctor!"Just the thought of it is embarrassing enough.Only then did Charlie put his mind at ease. Lying back down, he pulled her into his embrace and continued to gently stroke her lower abdomen. "Next time, I'll be even gentler."Exhausted, Candice closed her eyes.As she drifted off in a daze, she faintly felt him kissing her brow and eyes. Afterward... he seemed to head back to the bathroom for another shower.---The next day.Candice woke up from a deep, restorative sleep. Her appetite was ravenous during breakfast, and she managed to eat quite a substantial amount.When Sophia and Bianca walked in wheeling their luggage, they caught sight of her r

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 485 On the Matter of Delivering Late-Night Snacks

    The whispers that Sophia and Bianca had blown into her ears involuntarily drifted across her mind.Her heart itched just a little bit.It felt like the gentle, feather-light scratch of a kitten's paw.Should I... bring him a late-night snack to show some care?Candice’s thoughts drifted off into a bit of a daydream.A moment later, she snapped out of it, slapping her own cheeks to dispel the wicked, uncontrollable thoughts that made her feel as if she had been possessed by a horny ghost.She had gone for a prenatal checkup yesterday, and the doctor said she was in good condition and the fetus was developing well. Once she got past the early stages of pregnancy, things would become more and more stable.She had rested well over the past few days, and her mood had temporarily relaxed. Her previous spotting and physical discomfort, aside from the non-stop crises lately, were largely due to the immense physical and psychological stress she endured when she first found out she was pregnant

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 484 This Guy, So Ruthless

    "..." Candice was utterly speechless. "Do you honestly think I had the energy for any 'big moves' that day?"Even if she had the desire, she definitely didn't have the strength, alright?"Oh, come on, 'big moves' don't *have* to involve your waist, you know? You can use other things instead~~~"A soft, sweet voice lightly interjected.Candice and Sophia jumped in surprise at the sudden voice. They turned around to see Bianca standing behind them, smiling, with a glint of keen interest in her eyes.Candice: "Bianca, my beauty, stop appearing out of nowhere and scaring people, alright?"Sophia patted her rapidly beating chest: "Scaring people can literally kill them!""Clearly, you two were too engrossed in your chat." Bianca stretched out her two soft, delicate hands, pinched their cheeks, and pouted playfully. "Chatting about fun stuff behind my back, and not including me!""We were just chatting casually..."Candice gav

    Candice froze. "..."She slapped her forehead, a headache brewing.Why did *everyone* want to get involved? The Clemens family, and now her own family too."Grandma, you're getting on in years. Palace intrigue isn't for you anymore. Just quietly stay with your daughter and let her leg heal.""What do you mean, 'old'! You couldn't even beat me in an arm wrestle! Your grandma here has plenty of strength and skill. I've lived in the Lawrence family too, I know it inside out. Taking me will definitely be useful.""If you go, you'll just be another weakness for me." Candice sighed helplessly. "Have you forgotten what happened last time? Aren't you afraid of a repeat?"Mary felt a shiver of fear recalling that incident. But then she thought of her precious granddaughter having to face such dangers every day after returning to the Lawrence family, and courage surged within her. "Don't underestimate your grandma. I've seen my share of storms. I know

    They went through all that trouble, only for this stubborn girl to have absolutely no intention of getting married.Now, looking at Charlie, who was chatting in the small hut by the courtyard, both women felt a pang of sympathy.This kid really had incredible patience, huh.“Mom, Grandma, please don’t interfere. What’s between Charlie and me, we’ll communicate and handle ourselves,” Candice said.Mary turned back around. “Darling, listen to your grandma for a moment. Don’t mess with Charlie. If you wear him out and he’s gone, you’ll regret it when it’s too late to cry.”Margaret also spoke sternly. “It’s come to this point, and now you’re saying you don’t want any outcome? What were you doing all this time before?”Candice couldn’t answer.She couldn’t possibly say that before, she had been blinded by desire, unable to resist Ch
