The Wrong Woman

Chapter 922

After their kiss, Candice found herself breathless.

Reluctantly, Elio withdrew from her tender lips, their foreheads meeting as they exchanged heavy, tangled breaths.

The atmosphere in the room grew charged, infused with an undeniable sense of desire.

"Can't you be the one to come visit me?" Candice whispered.

Elio suppressed a smile, his lips curling slightly. "I could. It's just that your family is always around, and your office is quite busy."
