My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 0129 

Sieg’s stare at Candice was loaded with scorn. He rested his hand on Rolf’s shoulder, voicing his displeasure. Lex is in there. Aren’t you able to behave yourself?” 

In the past, Candice would have defended herself against Sieg’s misunderstandings. Now she felt too drained to exert effort in countering him. 

She cast a quick glance at Sieg before addressing Rolf, “You wanted me to fetch your coat, right?” 

Rolf Langstaff, as he accepted the coat, appeared perplexed. Unacquainted with Sieg and his crowd, he had come to the event primarily because of his close ties with Marc. 

Despite this, witnessing Sieg’s demeaning behavior towards Candice, Rolf easily surmised their tense 

relationship. 

Coming from a family that ran a business, Rolf was keen not to upset Sieg. He clicked his tongue in Candice’s direction, chastising her. “Sure, I requested the coat, but I didn’t anticipate you’d soil it. Have you stained my 

coat?” 

Candice replied icily, “If you think it is filthy, there’s a garbage bin right there.” 

Taken aback by her comeback, Rolf frowned, annoyed that she had belittled him in front of Sieg. 

Rolf scrutinized Candice and remarked coldly. “Walking around in such dirty clothes, you’d be mistaken for a 

beggar.” 

The smears of dirt on Candice’s clothes from Sonia were minor, but they stood out against the light–colored 

garments. 

She glanced at her clothing and, opting not to prolong the interaction, turned to leave. 

Rolf felt she had insulted him. He seized Candice’s arm, his voice stern. “Who said you 

could go?” 

Her demeanor turned frostier. She opened her mouth to reply, a sharp retort on her tongue, but Sonia’s faint cry echoed from the billiards room. 

“Lex, it’s painful.” 

Candice’s eyes flickered in the direction. 

Sieg noticed her distraction. “If you’re curious, why don’t you go inside and check it out?” he taunted. 

No longer restraining herself, Candice snapped. “If I didn’t know about Alex’s preferences, I might suspect you 

two were a couple.” 

Sieg’s face darkened, his eyes narrowing for the fight. 

Alex emerged before Sieg could speak. His sleeves were rolled to his elbows, and he carried a band–aid box.

His expression was stolc as he briefly surveyed Candice, then addressed Sleg. “Where’s the item you were 

looking for?” 

Sieg clicked his tongue and explained, “The first ald’s lodine is expired, where else am I supposed to find it? Marc’s already asked someone to fetch it. Tell Sonia to wait.” 

Alex acknowledged and returned inside, but not before his gaze fleetingly rested on Candice’s arm in Roll’s grip. 

He arched an eyebrow and emitted a barely audible, cool snort. 

Snapping out of it, Candice wriggled free from Roll’s hold and headed to her secluded spot. 

Marc’s requested iodine arrived quickly, as did Jackson. 

The weather was still storming outside, and Jackson was drenched. He spotted Candice in the corner and approached. 

“I had to get something for my mom nearby. Sorry for making you wait,” Jackson apologized, aware of the tension between Candice and Sieg. 

Watching the downpour outside. Candice asked, “With the rain this heavy, will it stop tonight?” 

Her concern was evident. She was reluctant to spend the night at Marc’s. 

“According to the weather report, it should clear up in about two hours,” Jackson replied. 

He noticed the marks on Candice’s clothes and frowned. “What happened here?” 

Candice explained indifferently. “Sonia had a fall, and I assisted her. It seems I got the marks from that.” 

Jackson rose to his feet, removed his coat and offered it to Candice. “Use this for now.” 

She responded reflexively. “There’s no need, I’ll just change once I’m home.” 

“It’s uncomfortable to wear dirty clothes,” Jackson insisted, his face serious. “Plus, staying in damp clothes. too long could make you unwell. You wouldn’t want your grandfather to worry, right?” 

Candice couldn’t argue with him when he mentioned Joe. 

She accepted the coat, thanked Jackson, and wrapped it around her shoulders. 

It was, indeed, a little chilly. The air conditioning was at a cool temperature, and her damp clothes made her feel uneasy, so much so that she had tried to avoid the cold air by sitting in a corner. 

Jackson’s expression softened when she put on the coat. He went and fetched a glass of warm water for her. 

Candice took the cup, and they sat, chatting. 

Laughter suddenly burst from the billiards room, followed by Sleg’s annoyed voice. “Are you mocking me for not bringing a model today?” 

Sieg’s playboy image was well–known in their social circle, as were his escapades with models and internet celebrities. 

2/3 

Candice wasn’t interested in such gossip. She leisurely drank her warm water.

Marc appeared, greeting Jackson as he returned. “Jake, come on in. We’re placing bets and could use more players.”
