My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 251

Chapter 0251 

Finally, Alex let her go when she was almost out of breath. 

But it was only for a moment before he pulled her into another embrace. 

That night, Alex was wild and even suggested doing it right in the car. But Candice stopped him, 

and he relented. 

Candice was thoroughly bullied later on. Her eyes were red, and her lips had wounds from being 

bitten harshly. 

In Alex’s embrace, she asked hoarsely, “Lex, what’s gotten into you?” 

Alex remained silent. 

Candice furrowed her brow, looking up at him. However, all she could see was the taut line of his 

jaw. 

In the gloomy night, his voice carried an indescribable chill. 

“Cici, I haven’t been ruthless enough to myself, so I’ve ended up where he is.” 

He closed his eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Cici, can you give me a little more time?” 

At that time, Candice didn’t understand what Alex meant by his words. It was only until later, when more and more people surrounded him, that she kept hearing the words in her mind. 

Give him a little more time. 

When she woke up, Candice’s forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. She sat up as she felt her heart beating furiously. 

She didn’t know why she dreamt about this incident. It was probably because Alex mentioned it again in the afternoon, which prompted her memory. 

But in the dream, Alex had called her “Cici“. Now that she thought about it, Candice felt like she couldn’t breathe. 

It had been a long time since someone called her that. More accurately, there were only two people who would call her that. 

Cici was considered to be Candice’s childhood nickname. When she was learning to write, she couldn’t spell properly, and she felt distressed every time she had to write her name. 

So, one day, she asked her parents why her name wasn’t that, which was simpler and easier to

write.

At that time, Henry was still a good father. He held her and said, “Alright, from now on, Daddy will 

call you Cici. Cici Renault, Daddy’s most precious treasure!” 

Later on, when Henry divorced Yvonne, Candice kept this to herself and didn’t tell anyone. It wasn’t until that time when Alex went with her to visit Joe that Joe accidentally let it slip. 

But after that incident, Alex had always preferred to call her Cici. 

Memories, jumbled and fierce, kept flooding Candice’s mind. She sat on the bed for a while until she heard a knock on the door. 

Rubbing her temples, she went to open the door and saw Hanley standing outside with a glass of juice. 

“Did you have a good sleep?” he asked. 

Candice’s temples still hurt. “It was fine. Did you need something?”
