The Wrong Woman

Chapter 921

The Morrisons had always doted on Candice.

Upon her request, they responded with warm smiles, saying, "Certainly, you two take care of it."

"Thank you, Grandpa Gary and Grandma Florence," Elio expressed with sincerity, "and to Uncle Daniel and Aunt Sienna, thank you as well."

Elio's eyes gleamed with gratitude, a gentle curve gracing his lips.

Observing his joy, Candice couldn't help but feel a warmth blossom inside her.

Elio maintained his hold on her hand, discreetly caressing it when no one was looking.

Even after dinner at Morrison Residence, Elio remained in good spirits. He joined the elders for a few extra drinks, relishing their animated discussions about life.

Meanwhile, Candice retreated to her room to freshen up and prepare for bed.

"Leo, you've had a few too many drinks. It's not safe for you to drive. Why don't you stay the night?" Gary's speech was slurred from the alcohol's influence.

Just as Elio was considering the offer, Florence stepped in, placing her hand on Gary's. Speaking softly, she questioned, "Are you thinking straight? Leo has a driver to take him home." "Ah, yes, I completely forgot about that," Gary acknowledged.

Elio managed an awkward smile, unable to resist stealing a glance toward Candice's room.
