My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 397

Candice insisted on coming with Alex to meet Stephan and Henry. She couldn't accept Henry using her name to slander Alex.

In the past, some people had said that she had too strong a sense of responsibility, so she always wanted to handle everything. But Candice knew she just didn't want to trouble anyone because of her own affairs.

Including Alex.

Her inherent stubbornness and obstinacy made her like this, and that couldn't be changed.

The car stopped at the Pearl Grand Hotel. Earlier there had been some scattered sunbeams in the sky, but now it was cloudy.

Candice had thought the weather would be good today, so she had only dressed lightly. But as soon as she got out of the car, a gust of wind blew, chilling her.

Alex stood behind her and draped a windbreaker over her shoulders. It was still warm. He reminded her coldly, "If you faint again, you'll have to stay in the hospital for half a month."

That's what the doctor had said when she was hospitalized. If she was hurt again, she would need even more time to recuperate.

Candice pressed her lips together, said nothing, and followed Alex inside.

Passing by a private room, her steps paused. This was where Darius showed her the video of Henry last time.

They reached the door of another private room, and even before entering they could hear laughter from inside, but couldn't make out what was being said.

Candice followed behind Alex, eyelids drooping, silently pondering how to handle meeting Henry. After all, she had mixed feelings toward him.

At least before coming to Solaris, she had still had great expectations for Henry.

Lost in her thoughts, her steps inevitably slowed down.

Alex noticed and glanced at her with lowered eyes. His gaze flickered as he said, "You can still leave now."

Candice looked up at him and her thoughts dispersed. After a moment, she calmly said, "There has to be an explanation."

Alex's eyes flickered then he scoffed and turned to push open the door to the private room.

The laughter inside abruptly stopped, and everyone's gaze turned towards the door.

Stephan Kemp was a well-known big shot in Solaris. When Candice decided to come, she had thought there would be at most Stephan and Henry. She hadn't expected there to be seven or eight people present.

Among them, Henry sat in the corner. When he saw Candice, his gaze instantly darkened.

Everyone present more or less knew Alex, especially Stephan and those around him. Their gazes were all shifting between Alex and Henry.

All of them knew Henry’s story about Alex getting Henry’s daughter pregnant and not wanting to take responsibility.

Alex, however, remained calm. He looked calmly at Stephan and politely said, "Sorry for being late." He casually glanced at Candice beside him and continued, "I picked up someone from the hospital on the way. I hope you don't mind, gentlemen."
