My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 443

Candice hadn't seen Sieg and the others for a long time, and her relationship with Sieg was not good. So, she originally intended to ignore them.

However, Sieg stopped her, and Candice could only look at Sieg, who furrowed his brows and looked like he was scrutinizing her.

Sieg sneered disdainfully, "Candice, why do you look worse and worse? With your current appearance, what can you use to compete with Nina?"

Candice had been through a lot recently, and she had been under immense pressure. Despite trying to take care of herself, she was still quite thin. But her outstanding facial features made her look delicate and beautiful when she was slim. Sieg's comment about her looking bad was purely because he disliked her.

Candice initially didn't want to pay attention to him, but when she heard the name Nina, she couldn't help but cast her gaze toward him.

Nina was the daughter-in-law approved by Helen. Now that Sieg knew who Nina was, it seemed that things between her and Alex were progressing.

Candice lowered her eyes, a hint of irony flashing in her gaze.

Sonia's situation hadn't been resolved, yet Nina had already entered the picture. Helen and Daniel seemed quite impatient.

Noticing Candice's gaze, Sieg raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when Hanley caught up with them.

He happened to stand beside Candice, blocking Sieg's line of sight as he whispered to Candice, "Watch your step."

The restaurant's decoration was unique, and the floor tiles at the entrance were intentionally designed to be intricate and uneven. If she didn’t pay attention, she might trip on it and fall.

Sieg's gaze on Candice was interrupted by Hanley. He seemed displeased and kept his eyes on them as they entered.

Marc hesitated and asked him, "Wasn't that Caspian's older brother just now?"

Sieg withdrew his gaze indifferently. "He’s just trash, kicked out by an illegitimate child."

After Candice and Hanley entered the private room, Hannah and Yuric were already anxiously waiting inside.

Spotting them finally, Hannah quickly stood up and asked, "Why are you guys so late?"

"We were stuck in traffic," Hanley explained.

Hannah blinked. "That's the downside of Dorrington. So, do you guys want to consider coming back to Windland with us? There’s little traffic there; everyone rides bikes."

Getting straight to the point, Hanley asked her, "Just tell us why we’re here."

"Did you forget Dad’s birthday next month?" Hannah asked him nonchalantly. "Come back with me. He called me last night. It wouldn't look good if I didn’t bring you along."

Before Hanley could respond, Hannah continued, "I know what you want to say. But now the issue is that you’re still related. Besides, some of Mom’s things are still with him. You're not going to let Caspian take everything away, are you?"

Hannah's words involved the private matters of the Baldwins. Candice hesitated about whether to step aside, but Hannah pulled her in, asking, "What are you afraid of? These aren't secrets, and besides, you're coming along too."

Candice raised an eyebrow. "Why should I go?"

Hannah pondered. "If you don't go, Hanley might find it hard to leave there."
