My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 348

Perhaps it was because Candice had gradually adapted to some reactions recently, it wasn't as uncomfortable as it had been at the beginning.

However, when she had waited in the downstairs airport hall just now, she had felt a suffocating sensation due to the crowd. It was as if she couldn't breathe as she felt her chest tighten.

After she had forcefully suppressed the stifling feeling in her heart and looked up at Alex, she calmly said, "Mr. Elysian, you seem to be a little too concerned about my private life."

The first-class cabin was not crowded, and Candice's tone was light and ethereal, revealing a hint of detachment.

Her eyes showed no emotion. If one must describe the emotions in her eyes, it would be impatience and vigilance.

Alex looked down at her and noticed those emotions in her eyes.

He sneered. It was as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just looked deeply at Candice, turned around, and returned to his seat.

Despite the aisle separating them, it wasn't too far, and Candice could even smell the faint pine scent on him.

She fell silent and ate a lemon candy given by Hanley from her bag. Until the sweet and tangy flavor of the lemon covered the pine scent, her originally tense nerves relaxed a bit.

The flight from Dorrington to Solaris was about two hours.

Feeling tired and fatigued, Candice put on an eye mask and soon fell asleep.

In that half-awake state, she always felt a strong jolt, as if she were on a roller coaster, swaying all over.

She wanted to open her eyes but couldn't. She felt both clear and fuzzy, and it was a rather uncomfortable state.

Her breathing became rapid, and her eyelids seemed stuck, unable to open.

Moreover, with the eye mask blocking, it became even more difficult.

It wasn’t until a warm palm stroked her forehead, bringing a comforting breath, that she felt a bit more comfortable.

Her heavy eyelids finally drooped, and Candice's breathing gradually steadied. Even though the jolting sensation didn't completely disappear, she wasn't as anxious.

Gradually, she fell into a deep sleep again.

When she woke up again, Candice was awakened by the voice of a flight attendant.

Due to the sudden heavy rain in Solaris, the plane had to delay its landing.

And the turbulence Candice had just felt was due to encountering an air current.

Her neck was a bit stiff, probably because of her sleeping posture.

She didn't expect to have slept for two hours straight.

Vaguely, it seemed like someone had come and touched her forehead.

Candice's eyes darkened, and she raised her eyelids to look at Alex beside the aisle.

He seemed to feel her gaze and just so happened to glance over, and their eyes met in the air.

His gaze was extremely cold.

Candice paused, calmly withdrew her gaze, raised her hand to press the service bell, and summoned a flight attendant.

She asked, "When is the plane expected to land?"

"It's not clear yet. We will arrange for landing immediately when the weather clears."

Candice nodded, "Can I have a glass of water?"

Having just woken up and experienced turbulence, there was a bloated feeling in her stomach.

Fortunately, the plane landed faster than expected. Just as Candice was recovering, the plane had already landed.

She was the last one to leave the cabin. Before going out, she happened to meet the flight attendant who had just poured water for her.

Candice paused and asked in a low voice, "Did someone come to my seat while I was sleeping just now?"
