Semua Bab The Wrong Woman: Bab 931 - Bab 940

The morning light flooded the balcony, filling the room with warmth.Candice slowly woke up from her sleep.As she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the handsome face that had haunted her dreams throughout her youth.The man was lying on his side. He was fast asleep next to her with his face facing her.She blinked, feeling like she was dreaming. How was it possible that she would wake up to find Elio beside her?She thought she was still dreaming, so she closed her eyes to adjust. After opening her eyes again, she found that the man in front of her was real.She recalled that she was at the Campbell Residence last night. After welcoming Mervyn back and having a few drinks, she drunkenly fell asleep.Drunk?Candice suddenly realized that she had indeed gotten drunk, but why was she in Elio's bed right now? How did she end up here? Who had brought her to Elio's house?The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. She felt restless and uneasy for some re

Candice shook her head.As Elio looked at her back, he clenched his fists to suppress his emotions. His eyes reddened and his heart ached.Was his impending happiness about to be shattered? He was starting to panic.Mervyn said earnestly, "Candice, I really don't want you to be deceived by him."This was the same thing Josie had tried to tell her.Her curiosity about how Elio had deceived her grew stronger. "Then tell me, what did he do?"Just as Mervyn was about to speak, Elio walked over and grabbed Candice's hand. He said anxiously, "Candice, I'll drop you at work. You're going to be late."Mervyn pushed Elio away. He yelled, "Stop pretending! Are you scared now? Why weren't you scared when you were deceiving Candice?"Elio angrily growled, "What did I deceive her about?"Mervyn pushed Candice aside and rushed forward to grab Elio by the collar. He growled through gritted teeth, "Don't think I don't know about your dirty tricks. I've investigated everything."In the year o

After getting out of the car, Candice strode toward the villa.Mervyn got out of the car as well and chased after her.Candice quickly ran into the villa. She slammed the door shut and locked it.Mervyn banged on the door from outside.Candice didn't open the door but slowly walked into the house.Hearing the commotion, Elio lowered his arm and looked toward the entrance.He hadn't expected Candice to come back. His sorrowful eyes showed a glimmer of hope. He sat up straight and stared at her with teary eyes.At that moment, the knocking outside ceased.Candice stood before him and looked down at Elio who was seated on the sofa. She said, "Mervyn said you've coveted me for a long time. Is that true?"Elio nodded reluctantly.Candice nervously clenched her fists. She asked, "Do you know what 'covet' means?"Elio replied, "Yes, I know. It means desiring something that doesn't belong to you."Candice asked sadly, "Why can't you use a different word? For example, you can say yo

Mervyn's eyes reddened with anger as he yelled at Candice, "Candice, can you wake up from your love-struck haze? Elio is not suitable for you, and you will regret this sooner or later!""Whether he's suitable or not, I'll judge for myself, but I'll never regret it because this is my own choice," Candice responded firmly.Mervyn was heartbroken.Back at the Morrison Residence, Candice left Mervyn alone in the living room and quickly went upstairs.With nothing else to do, Mervyn went home.That evening, Candice expressed her thoughts to her grandparents and parents."I want to move in with Elio."Her grandparents were against the idea, while Sienna and Daniel respected her decision.Candice explained, "Elio and I have very little time together. If we don't build a stronger bond before marriage, how can we maintain a long-lasting marriage?"Her grandparents were not close-minded. They were just reluctant to let her go.She continued, "Besides, Josie likes Elio. Her aunt has bee

"But…" Candice hesitated.Elio nervously asked, "But what?"Candice's face grew even redder and her body became warmer. She shyly rested her head on his chest and said, "I'm afraid of getting pregnant before marriage."Elio couldn't help but laugh. He just tightly held her in his arms.She looked so shy revealing it that it made Elio feel a bit embarrassed too.They just hugged each other quietly for a while without saying anything.After a moment, they sat on the sofa. As Candice nestled in Elio's arms, she browsed her phone to order takeout.Since neither of them could cook and it was too late to ask the chef to come over, they decided to make do with something simple.Elio wanted to order from a highly-rated restaurant, but Candice refused.Growing up, her family had strictly controlled her diet and didn't let her eat any food that was unhealthy.Elio was also the same.Candice was worried that Elio might be as strict as her family, so she asked cautiously, "Should we hav
