My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 454

Nina smiled at him, and Alex's gaze darkened slightly.

She deliberately lowered her voice, and Candice couldn’t hear what she was saying. She could only see Nina's smile and the way Alex's eyelashes drooped.

Candice turned and went back into the restaurant. She ran into Hanley as soon as she entered.

Seeing Candice, Hanley raised his eyebrows. "I was just about to come out and find you. The night view of the ancient city is quite beautiful. Do you want to take a stroll?"

It was not until they walked out of the restaurant that Candice reacted. "What about Nadia and the others?" she asked.

"They're going to the bar later. There's a famous local singer performing there tonight."

Candice was not interested in crowded places like bars. So she followed Hanley to the ancient city.

"Nadia said you're not in a good mood," Hanley said. "Can you tell me why?"

Hanley had been off taking a call earlier, so he had missed all the discussions about Alex and Nina earlier.

Candice hesitated a moment, but still said nothing. The relationship between Henry and Ava didn’t really concern her. It was just that she couldn’t help but remember what Henry had said about not being able to return to Dorrington due to his own difficulties.

Were his difficulties only limited to her? He couldn’t return to Dorrington, but he could bypass Dorrington to come to Stugan City.

Candice's expectations for Henry had long since disappeared without a trace. However, this kind of belated realization of not being seen as a priority still made her uncomfortable.

The next morning, Candice got up and went downstairs. They had agreed last night to visit a scenic spot near Stugan City today.

However, as soon as she entered the elevator, she received a call from Henry. Candice hung up without second thought, but soon after, she received a second call from him. This was followed by a third and fourth call, showing a determination not to give up until he got through.
