My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 519

It was not like she had done anything wrong to him.

After finishing the meal, Alex took the initiative to clean up. Candice also helped out and went to take care of Ellis.

Just then, Hanley's call came in. "Are you still having fun? I checked the weather forecast over there, and it says it's going to rain today."

Candice was feeding milk to Ellis. She replied, "We already came home this morning."

"Is it because of the weather?"

"Yeah. It's inconvenient with the rain."

Hanley smiled. "That's good. I was worried you might catch a cold in the rain over there."

Candice heard the concern in Hanley's voice and replied softly, "I'm not that prone to catching colds, you know?"

Just as she finished speaking, there was a sound at the door. Candice looked up and saw Alex standing there, holding a cup of water and looking at her.

Candice frowned. Alex's gaze fell on her phone as he spoke gently, "I heated up a cup of milk for you. Drink it before going to sleep."

Candice hesitated, but Hanley asked. "It's late. Are your colleagues still at your place?"

Candice stared at Alex, mumbled a response, and then made up an excuse before hanging up.

When she looked back at Alex, her face showed displeasure. "Who told you to come over? I said before, don't come into the living room unless necessary."

She got up to close the door, but Alex handed her the cup. He lowered his eyes, his voice tired. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were on the phone. You've had a tiring day, and a glass of milk can help you sleep."

He held the cup out to her, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm just trying to be helpful."

Candice looked at the cup of milk, raised her head, and met Alex's shining eyes.
