The Wrong Woman

Camden didn't notice anything amiss with Candice, so he continued cheerfully, "Mr. Elio should be 27 years old by now, at the age to get married.

"After all, his parents had him at an older age, and they're quite old now. They're probably eager for grandchildren."

Candice lowered her head in confusion and sorrow as tears threatened to stream down her face. She wiped her tears discreetly.

Although the warmth of the evening sun fell on her, she was still overwhelmed by the coldness of her heart.

At that moment, she deeply regretted it. She hated herself for being selfish just for that one night.

Because of her own desires, she had sex with Elio. She felt very guilty toward Josie.

A secret admirer tended to admire the other person silently, not letting others know about their feelings, and not wanting to be an obstacle to the other person's happiness.

Now, she looked like a bitch that destroyed other people's relationships.

She hated herself so much.

Noticing something wrong with Candice, Camden quickly asked, "Ms. Candice, is everything alright?"

Candice immediately wiped away her tears. She forced a stiff smile and responded, "I'm fine."

After that, she strode into the house and entered the magnificent living room.

"Candice," Mila called out gently.

The moment Candice saw Mila, she smiled broadly and rushed over. She went to sit beside Mila. As she clung onto her arm affectionately, Candice said, "Aunt Chubs, it's been so long. I miss you so much."

Mila's smile was warm and gentle as she patted Candice's head. She replied, "It's been almost two years. You have become even more beautiful."

Nathan intentionally coughed.

Candice received the cue, so she quickly turned to the man beside her. She smiled as she greeted, "Hello, Uncle Nathan."

Nathan's gaze softened as he responded affectionately, "Good girl. I thought you only had eyes for Chubs and couldn't see me." Candice replied, "How is that possible? You're handsome and striking. You always had people's eyes on you whenever you go, so how could I ignore you?"

"You are such a honey-tongued," Nathan said. His smile grew even brighter, overflowing with affection.

Although Jasper was their son, they loved Candice more compared to Jasper.

Mila quickly took out a small ornament from her pocket and put it around Candice's wrist.

Candice looked surprised at the delicate and lovely beads on the bracelet. The bracelet was colorful and pretty.

"Aunt Chubs, what's this?" Candice asked, raising her wrist to look at the unique beads.

As Mila touched Candice's fair wrist, she sighed. She continued, "It suits you so well. It's a rare and natural chrysoberyl we found when we were mining at the frontiers. It's different from the normal chrysoberyl. This is a very rare and precious gemstone."

"It's too precious, Aunt Chubs. I can't accept it. You should give it to Jasper instead," Candice said before taking it off.

Mila stopped her. She pretended to be angry. "If you don't accept it, I will be angry."

"But-

"No buts. Jasper is a grown man, so it's not suitable for him to wear gemstones. It looks better on you," Mila commented. "Thanks, Aunt Chubs." Candice expressed her gratitude as she hugged Mila happily. After that, she turned to Nathan and expressed her gratitude too.

"As long as you're happy," Nathan said with a faint smile.

Mila gently caressed Candice's long hair, her eyes filled with love.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Over the years, she had been too busy with work. In the end, she couldn't give birth to a daughter for Nathan.

Luckily, they had such a cute niece like Candice.
