My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 507

Oscar spoke earnestly, "I've seen your granddaughter. She's adorable and bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Alex."

"Granddaughter?" A hint of disdain flickered across Daniel's face, almost as if he found the notion amusing.

He glanced at Oscar and declared, "I will never welcome Candice and her illegitimate child into my family!"

Oscar responded, "Mr. Alex seems quite attached to her. I heard that when his daughter was hospitalized, Mr. Alex was by her side throughout."

Daniel's gaze grew even darker at Oscar's remark.

Oscar remained impassive, almost as if the conversation held no significance to him.

Candice was preparing to leave the country, so Yana took her to dine at a friend's private kitchen.

Yana's mood was sour. She questioned, "How long will you be away this time? Work is already dull, and now, I won't even have someone to share meals with after work. How am I supposed to cope?"

Her expression was filled with sorrow, almost as if Candice had broken her heart and disappointed her.

"It's just a business trip. I'll be back eventually."

"But you won't return to Dorrington, will you?" Yana sighed. "I never realized how quickly time passes until now. In the blink of an eye, you've all left."

Candice listened to Yana's words, feeling a pang of bitterness.

She didn't want to leave Dorrington either. Who would willingly leave their homeland if given a choice? But circumstances had forced her hand, first with William and now with Daniel.

Seeing Candice's silence, Yana finally understood the reason for her departure and struggled to find the right words to console her.

She recalled something and mentioned, "My mom told me that Mrs. Elysian has moved back to the Sui family. I just found out she wasn't willing to get married in the first place. My mom said she used to be very gentle. Thinking about it, which woman could endure her husband's infidelity for years and still keep silent? Anyone would go mad."

Candice listened silently. She hadn't been close to Helen, so she wasn't particularly worried about her.

Helen had been harsh to her before. Candice didn't see herself as a saint that she would sympathize with Helen. If she did sympathize with Helen, who would sympathize with her?

After the meal, they went to a nearby mall, where Yana insisted on buying clothes for Ellis.

Children grow every day. Ellis was adorable and sophisticated. Yana wished she could dress her in every piece of children's clothing available.

Candice let Yana take the baby for fittings. However, the crowded mall made her feel inexplicably anxious.

Her intuition was usually right. When she glanced in a certain direction, she spotted a man in a suit watching her.

Clearly, that man had noticed her too. He walked directly toward her.

Candice's guard went up immediately. She looked at Yana, who had just come out of the fitting room with Ellis dressed in a cute little duck outfit.

"How about this? My fashion sense is good, right? She’s too adorable," Yana boasted proudly, but the man had already approached.

He stood next to Candice and conveyed, "Ms. Renault, the Chairman wants to see you."

"Where is he?" Candice asked, holding back her nervousness.

"He's at the hotel."

Candice nodded and gestured to Yana with a glance. She said, "You two can go ahead. I'll be back soon."

"Ms. Renault," the man reminded her from behind, "the chairman also wants to see your daughter."

Candice's expression turned dark and declined, "She needs to sleep and doesn't want to see anyone."
