ログイン"Mmm..."A tingling sensation spread from her neck throughout her entire body, curling even her toes."Did you miss me?"His warm breath drifted over her neck like a mist, his deep, husky voice sending shivers straight to her heart.Unable to resist, she cupped his face and pressed her lips against his, stealing his breath.This male fox spirit... tasted sinfully good.Locked in each other's arms by the doorway, they kissed deeply, each seeming intent on devouring the other. Only when they were both breathless did they finally pull apart.Charlie brushed the moisture from the corner of her lips with his thumb."So you really did miss me.""Mhm. I missed your body."Leaning lazily against his chest, Candice looked at him through half-lidded eyes, her tone dripping with teasing."...Besides my body, you could miss something else too."She froze for a moment.He showed up just to tempt her. Wasn'
Edward and Rex exchanged glances.So this had all been a setup today."So this morning," Edward said, "you deliberately let Denise overhear that you were visiting the Harrison family this afternoon, just to test Iris?"Candice shook her head."No. I let Gabrielle hear it."Edward: "...?"He frowned, thinking it through."You were afraid that if you said it directly in front of Denise, she'd realize you were baiting her. So you chose to tell Gabrielle instead.""After everything that happened yesterday, you suspected Gabrielle's room might be bugged. And even if it wasn't, once you left, there was a good chance Denise would ask her what you talked about.""Gabrielle may have a low IQ, but she's perfectly capable of repeating a conversation. Having the message relayed through her would make everything seem much more natural."Candice fell silent for a few seconds.Then she slowly gave him a thumbs-up.
“Iris, why are you back already?” Mr. Harrison asked in surprise.A glimmer flashed through Candice's beautiful eyes, and the corners of her lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile.She slowly turned around.The person who had returned was Iris Greystone, dressed in a lake-blue evening gown.Today, her maiden family was hosting a banquet. Half an hour earlier, she had left for the Greystone residence with her husband and their two children.“Aunt.”Candice greeted her politely and calmly.Iris was pleasantly surprised to see her and quickly walked over.“Candice? When did you arrive in Shandor?”“I came yesterday.”“You silly child. If I'd known you were coming today, your uncle and I wouldn't have gone out.”“Aunt, weren't you on your way to the banquet? Why are you back so soon?”“Don't even mention it. Halfway the
“So you're asking me to help you think of a solution, not rub salt in the wound!”“You're the one who came looking for a beating.”“...” James rubbed his aching temples tiredly. “Forget it. Pretend I never called.”Just as he was about to hang up, Denny stopped him.“You get worked up after just a couple of words? At your age, you're becoming more childish instead of wiser.”James choked on his words again.Denny finally stopped mocking him.“Candice isn't the kind of child who loses her sense of proportion. If she demoted you the very first day she came home, then you must have done something that completely broke her heart.”Having his old friend hit the nail on the head, James looked uncomfortable.“...There was a bit of a misunderstanding.”“Hmph. Don't try to gloss it over with me. Did Denise stir up another load of nons
Sophia sneered inwardly.Buddy, you meddle more than the Pacific Police."Enough lecturing me," she shot back. "You should also stop sticking yourself to your buddies. Hugging a guy from behind, wrapping your arms around his waist, saying things like 'Bro, you smell so good'... Constantly flirting with your male friends isn't exactly ethical either."Edward froze for a second.Then it was as if someone had hit his laughter switch.Clutching his stomach, he burst into laughter."Wait... you can do that?""My Sophia, you're incredible!""How do you know so much? Where on earth did you learn all this?"Sophia stared at him as though he'd completely lost his mind.Meanwhile, Candice and the others only caught the latter half of the conversation.Collectively, they rubbed their temples.So...It wasn't romance.It was a medical condition.---Dinner TimeEdward stayed fo
Candice felt sick just watching them.It disgusted her even more than when Kyle had gotten together with Mia. Perhaps it was because this pair of adulterous dogs carried the weight of a blood debt on their backs.Curling her lips into a mocking smile, she said with undisguised contempt,"Right. Of course. Neither of you did anything wrong. You're both completely innocent. One of you didn't cheat. One of you didn't knowingly become the other woman. One of you didn't abandon your wife and children. One of you didn't move right into someone else's home. One of you didn't hire people to kill. One of you isn't lower than an animal. It was all just an accident.""You two are true love. The kind of once-in-a-lifetime love worthy of songs and poems. Maybe you should visit a tattoo parlor someday and have the words True Love tattooed across your foreheads."She "praised" them without mercy.The praise left both of their faces cycling through every sh
My breath hitched.My fists curled tight, though I forced my face to stay calm.Jim was watching me closely. I couldn’t let even a flicker of disgust or panic slip through, so instead I gave him the most natural expression of confusion I could manage.“Huh? Mr. La
Candice felt someone remove her headphones.She groggily opened her eyes and looked outside, realizing they were on top of a mountain.All around her stretched endless green hills.They had arrived at Shandor.Outside the cabin, a man and a woman were waiting by the ro
Caroline was getting anxious.These past few days, she had been scrambling around, but he didn’t show any interest in any of the women she had found. No, he hadn’t even looked at them.She was so upset that she was almost breathless. “Do you know why your father ru
And who is he calling a scaredy-cat??Could it be... he...?Candice turned to look at Rex. The young man shrugged, signaling that he didn’t know and didn’t understand.Charlie noticed she wasn’t following his pace and came back to pull her along, as if afraid she might run off."CEO, I can walk on
