Chapter 953

Candice caught Elio's smile and struggled to hold back her own.

Michaela, Tristan, and Josia paused their discussion on economics. They were surprised by the lighthearted moment between Candice and Elio over dinner.

However, the most astonishing change for them was Elio. Known for his composed, dignified, and reserved demeanor, he seemed completely different tonight. The trio was dumbfounded to find Elio laughing more in one evening than they had seen him laugh in the past year.

"A broad grin immediately spread across the hare's face as it responded, 'Mr. Tortoise, I'll run just the way you want me to.""
