My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 458

Daniel also saw Candice and frowned slightly. His originally stern expression now had a hint of displeasure.

Candice met his gaze for a moment then continued walking.

Dinner was scheduled to be in the lobby, and just before Candice went over, she received a call from Tina. The others went ahead as she took the call.

Afterwards, as she went over, she happened to encounter a group of people at the entrance of the lobby.

Helen was leading Nina, pulling her hand along, chatting and laughing, followed by Daniel and Alex. The moment Helen saw Candice, her smile disappeared.

All her displeasure emerged, eyebrows raised, and her tone changed from a gentle to sarcastic. "Some people really don't know when to give up. They seem to be everywhere, always looking for opportunities to cling on. They're like a barnacle, aren't they?"

Nina, standing beside Helen, didn’t say a word, but the smile in her eyes was enough to show her triumphant posture.

Candice glanced at the two of them and calmly said, "If Madam Sui has so much free time, perhaps both your husband and son can arrange for you to join the sales department at Aether. After all, Madam Sui's ability to find fault and cause trouble at every opportunity would surely be welcomed by the sales department."

Candice's sarcasm was something she had recently learned from Yana, which immediately angered Helen into embarrassment.

Candice swept a glance at her and walked straight into the lobby.

Even though she did not turn back, she could still feel several pairs of eyes on her back.

Helen watched Candice's retreating figure, the displeasure in her expression became even more profound. She stared at Candice's back for a while before turning to Nina. "Nina, this is what happens when people lack basic upbringing!"

Nina was about to comfort her when a shadow passed over them. Alex walked past them with a straight posture, then stopped three steps ahead, looking at them sideways with a cold and indifferent gaze. "You were the one who approached her first, and now you're saying she lacks upbringing?"

Helen was stunned by his words, her expression stiffening. Nina's expression was not pleasant either. She stared at Alex's back sharply before looking in the direction Candice had just left inexplicably.

Quickly concealing her emotions, she bit her lip and sighed. "It seems that Alex still cares about Candice. I'm starting to suspect that Candice's child is his."

Although her words were abrupt, Helen's eyelids twitched.

Nina smiled again and said, "I was just joking. Uncle and Aunt, don't take it seriously. I just think Alex cares a lot about Candice."

Daniel squinted at Nina, looking thoughtful.

The food prepared by the inn was mostly meat, and Candice had just finished eating when a candy was handed to her.

Hanley's voice was gentle and magnetic. "If you feel the food is too greasy, have a candy."

Candice had gotten used to Hanley occasionally giving her candy recently, so she just hummed a response of agreement and took it.

Ryan, who was sitting opposite her, saw this and also reached out to Hanley. "Give me one too, I want one."

Hanley glanced at him, his expression unchanged, his voice calm. "There are none left."

"Don't you have plenty?” Ryan asked. “I saw a tin in your suitcase yesterday."

"They're all gone," Hanley replied calmly.

They had come to Peak Mountain mainly to soak in the hot springs, which was not suitable for Candice. However, staying alone in the inn was meaningless, and Nadia asked her to help take photos.
