Chapter 881

Candice was shocked. She couldn't grasp what Elio meant by his words. Was it possible that his desire for beauty and pleasure could drive him to such reckless extremes, even at the risk of his own life?Elio declared his desire for her. Wasn't he afraid that her family would kill him for trying to make her his mistress? Didn't he have any moral boundaries?Candice was livid. "Let go of me," she demanded.Elio loosened his grip on her wrist and took a step back.Candice massaged her aching hand. "Elio, just give up. Marry Josie and live a good life with her. Be good to her, and stop chasing after me."With those words, Candice stormed off. She angrily unlocked and pushed through a large iron gate. As she walked, she cursed inwardly at Elio.He was despicable. If he weren't already committed to someone else, she would've considered being with him, even as his secret lover.But Josie had been by his side for many years, and their wedding was just a month away. Yet, here Elio was,

Chapter 882

Michaela suppressed her anger and stressed each word carefully. "Wanda, you've been away working in the frontier for so long that you might not realize how disturbing Elio's behavior is. He's Candice's uncle. They're related! Yet he's had an unhealthy fixation on Candice since her childhood."He collected her hair ties, cups, stuffed toys, and other random items. He hoarded her discarded pencil cases and even a used pen. Whenever he visited Morrison Residence, he secretly took things that belonged to Candice and stashed them away."What kind of man obsessively writes diary entries about a young woman? He stole her things, spied on her, stalked her, and filled his entire sketchbook with drawings of her. He…"I was desperate and had to pressure him into finding a girlfriend. But then he and Josie deceived me. I had no option but to make him move abroad. I truly—"Mila cut her off, her voice sharp with fury. "Mom, why did you read Elio's diary?""I did it for his own good," Michaela

There was a persistent knock on the door. Unwilling to respond, Elio remained motionless. His gaze was desolate and distant. It was as if he was lost in another world. It wasn't until the knocking ceased and Mila's voice came to his ears that he snapped back to reality."Elio, it's me, Wanda."Although Mila was rarely home, she held a warm and kind image in Elio's heart. He found those affections he lacked from Michaela in Mila. Shaken from his thoughts, Elio got to his feet and turned the portrait around before heading to the door.As the door was opened, Mila noticed his somber expression and lifeless gaze. She felt a pang of sympathy."Wanda, do you need something?" Elio asked.Mila's eyes crinkled into a smile as she asked softly, "May I come in and sit for a while?"Elio hesitated briefly, then opened the door wider. "Come in."Mila stepped into the spacious room. Despite the brightness of the lights, the atmosphere felt dull and cold. There was a large bed, a row of

Mila sighed. "It's probably best to move on sooner if Candice doesn't have feelings for you. But you shouldn't settle for marrying someone you don't love. Josie isn't the right match for you.""Her aunt is shady," Elio responded with a relaxed drawl.Surprised, Mila asked, "You knew about that?"Elio hummed in acknowledgment.Mila got to her feet and said, "Alright, I should head back. You should get some sleep. Meet me at Sudvilla at noon tomorrow."Sudvilla, a villa granted to Nathan by the government, was located directly opposite Hudson Manor, where Josie lived."Why should I go there?" Elio looked at her, puzzled.With a gentle smile, Mila said, "Come early and lend me a hand."Then, she left Elio's room, quietly closing the door behind her. Elio's gaze lingered on the door, looking desolate.…At noon the following day, Candice arrived in a floral dress complemented by a lace-trimmed sun hat. She carried a wicker basket full of plant seedlings. She stepped out of her

Candice wanted to speak with Mila, but her attention was drawn to Elio. She was captivated as he tilted his head back to drink water; his Adam's apple was unexpectedly alluring.His simple act sent a surge of heat through Candice, leaving her flustered. She swiftly averted her eyes and turned to Mila. "Aunt Chubs, is there anything I can help with?" she asked anxiously.Mila pulled out her phone, her expression turning into a frown as she landed her gaze on it. "I just got some urgent experimental results from work that I need to handle immediately."Confusion clouded Candice's mind.Pointing toward the seedlings in the basket, Mila instructed, "Candice, can you and Elio help me in planting these seedlings? I need to deal with this issue first.""I…" Candice panicked, wanting to make Mila stay. "Aunt Chubs, I—"With a warm smile, Mila began walking away as she said, "I'm swamped right now. Thank you so much, Candice."Candice couldn't bring herself to reject Mila's request. Sh

Candice was captivated by Elio's smile, a sight she realized she had never witnessed before. His smile was faint yet seemed to cast a magical spell.Elio was typically reserved and aloof. It made Candice hope he would smile more often. As she pulled from her thoughts, she met his piercing gaze. She quickly lowered her head and crouched down to pick up some seedlings."Let's begin. Where do you think we should plant these?" Candice asked.Elio approached her and said, "I'll follow your lead."His simple words warmed Candice, sending a flutter straight to her heart. Even so, she tried to keep her composure and focused on planning the garden's layout.Elio listened carefully as she explained her ideas.…Mila stood on the second-floor balcony, secretly watching the garden with a growing smile. Nathan quietly approached and gently wrapped his arms around her from behind. He whispered in her ear, "What are you looking at?"Leaning back against Nathan's chest, Mila sighed softly. "

"Are you not interested in him?" Josie asked."We're not in the kind of relationship you're imagining," Candice explained.Josie simply smiled and remained silent. After entering the villa, she handed the basket of strawberries to the maid before settling on the couch with Candice. While Candice sat upright with formal poise, Josie lounged with ease as if she owned the place. "My dad and Mr. Morrison have been close friends for years. I practically grew up here, running around as a kid," Josie said casually.Candice looked puzzled. "With Uncle Nathan and Aunt Chubs so often away, how did you manage to visit?""Leo brought me here," Josie explained with a hint of pride. "He always tried to escape his parents' strict rules. He'd stay here for a few days whenever he felt suffocated at home."She pointed at one of the rooms on the upper floor and added, "See that room up there? That's our secret hideout."Candice followed the direction where Josie pointed. Any adult would immedia

Josie was certain that Candice didn't stand a chance of stealing Elio away.Elio caused a commotion as he rushed down the stairs, prompting Mila and Nathan to emerge from their room, where they unexpectedly met Josie."Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Morrison," Josie greeted them with a polite nod."Josie?" Furrowing her brow, Mila asked, "What brings you here?""My dad sent me to bring you some strawberries," Josie replied."Thank you," Mila responded politely, then turned to look downstairs. She noticed Elio trudging back to the living room. He flopped down on the couch, shut his eyes, and sank back. He looked drained, but it was apparent that his weariness wasn't merely physical."Where's Candice?" Mila asked."Candice had to leave for something," Josie answered.Mila fell silent as she pieced things together. She knew Candice too well. Candice would have at least said goodbye if she had left under normal circumstances. She would never leave without a word."Make yourself at home."

Jasper drove back to Morrison Residence. He allowed Candice to get out of the car before he parked it.Candice slipped into a pair of fluffy slippers at the entrance, where a maid approached to take her bag. "Ms. Candice, we have a guest," the maid informed her."Oh, thank you," Candice replied, handing over her bag absentmindedly. Her thoughts were elsewhere as she entered the living room. There, she was greeted by the familiar faces of Gary, Florence, Daniel, Sienna, Taylor, and Tobias.Candice announced cheerfully, "Everyone, I'm back." Everyone turned toward her, including the guest. Candice halted her step, and her smile froze as she stared at Elio—the last person she expected to meet.The Morrisons were a large family. Daniel and Sienna resided at Maple Abode, Nathan and Mila at Sudvilla, while Duke and Daphne lived independently.Each of Candice's cousins chose to live separately from their parents. Candice, however, preferred the lively atmosphere of staying with Gary

Chapter 890

Candice felt her hands sweating from nervousness as soon as the question was asked. She clenched her fists and lowered her head. She couldn't meet Elio's gaze, yet her ears remained sharply attuned to his voice.After stealing a glance at Candice, Elio thought for a moment before saying, "Josie isn't my girlfriend.""What?" Everyone fell into stunned silence.Candice looked up, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at Elio in disbelief. Her reaction was so over the top that Elio almost laughed. He found her astonishment adorable and struggled to keep a straight face.With a frown, Daniel asked, "What's the matter?"Elio turned to Daniel and explained with a polite tone, "My mom was pressuring me to find a girlfriend back then. Out of desperation, I convinced my best friend to pose as one. We kept up the act for so long that everyone believed we were actually together.""Why did you stop pretending?""My mom found out.""That explains it."Candice was dumbfounded, her mouth sl
