The Wrong Woman

Chapter 932

She had always been desperate to know why Elio was so eager to marry her.

At that moment, Elio didn't explain. He let go of Candice then got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

Candice looked at his retreating back with disappointment.

She suddenly remembered what Josie had tried to tell her before.

At that time Josie wanted to tell her the truth, but she was afraid it would be bad news, so she chose not to listen.

She had been waiting for Elio to tell her the reason, but it seemed Elio had his own reasons for staying silent.

After getting out of bed, Candice stood barefoot on the floor and looked around for her shoes.

Only then did she realize that her phone and shoes were still at the Campbell Residence.

She sat back on the bed, lost in thought.

Moments later, Elio came out of the bathroom after washing up. He went to the wardrobe to take out a new pair of slippers. Then, he placed them in front of Candice and knelt down to put them on for her.

Candice gazed at his handsome face.

Elio looked up at her gently and said, "Go freshen up. I've prepared new toiletries for you."

"Elio," Candice called out as she looked at him excitedly. She asked, "Why do you want to marry me?"

Elio smiled gently and replied, "Does a man need many reasons to marry a woman?"

Candice said, "Of course, there can be many reasons. For example, power, wealth, beauty, childbirth, convenience, or even being forced."

Elio frowned in displeasure. He asked, "Shouldn't it be because of love?"

Candice didn't seem happy. Instead, she felt his answer was insincere. With a bitter smile, she lowered her head and murmured, "How could it be love if your partner is me?"

Elio stood up and patted her head. He said, "Go freshen up."

After saying that, he left the room.

After washing up, Candice went downstairs. She heard noises coming from the living room, so she hurried down the stairs.

She saw Mervyn grabbing Elio by the collar in the living room. Mervyn angrily shouted, "As long as I'm here, I won't let you have the chance to deceive Candice!"

"Mervyn, what are you doing?" Candice asked anxiously. She quickly rushed over and pried Mervyn's hand away from Elio. Standing in front of Elio, she glared at Mervyn and asked, "What the hell are you doing?"

Mervyn looked deeply hurt. He pointed at Candice with a pained expression and asked, "Candice, you're still defending him? Do you know how despicable and shameless this bastard is?"

Elio's face became grim. He nervously grabbed Candice's arm and said, "Candice, go back to the room."

"What have you done that you're afraid Candice will find out?" Mervyn said angrily.

Elio suppressed his emotions as his face grew even darker. He glared at Mervyn with anger.

Mervyn sneered. He pulled Candice to stand in front of him and said, "Candice, stay away from him. He's not the Elio you know. This kind of person will do anything to achieve his goals."

Candice felt sad seeing the two men arguing. She asked in confusion, "What exactly is going on?"

Elio nervously said, "Candice, go back to the room."

Mervyn scoffed, "Afraid she'll find out?"

Candice looked at Elio and then Mervyn. She felt extremely uneasy. She desperately wanted to know, but Elio's insistence made her not have the urge to listen.

Mervyn grabbed Candice's arm and

said, "Last night, he came to my house and forcibly took you away while you were drunk. I thought he was taking you home. I didn't expect this despicable man to bring you to his own house."

Candice retorted, "What does it matter? We're already engaged." "You guys are engaged, not married."

As Mervyn nervously gripped her shoulders, he looked into her eyes. He reminded her, "Candice, wake up and see clearly what kind of man he is. He has bad intentions toward you. Do you know the dirty tricks he's done behind your back?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
