The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 928

At 10:00 pm, Candice was waiting in the airport lounge. She stood at the exit holding a bouquet of flowers.

Not far away, Mervyn was stylishly dressed in athletic wear. He pulled a suitcase as he walked out briskly.

From a distance, Candice saw him and then waved at him.

Mervyn excitedly dragged his suitcase and hurried toward her. He opened his arms as he intended to embrace her.

However, Candice pushed the flowers into his arms to block his hug.

Mervyn frowned. He looked down at the flowers in her hands and said, "Thanks, but I'd rather have your hug than these flowers."

Candice sighed resignedly and smiled. Then, she put down her hands.

Mervyn came closer to hug her. As he patted her back, he muttered, "I missed you so much, Candice."

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"I got my PhD and received my certificate. The first thing I wanted to do was come back to see you because I missed you so much."

Candice slowly pushed him away. She smiled as she replied, "Stop joking around, let's go. I parked my car outside, I'll drive you home."

Mervyn dragged his suitcase with one hand and held Candice's hand with the other as they walked out. He asked, "How are your parents?"

"They're doing well," Candice replied as she gazed at their joined hands.

In the past, holding hands was common between them as they were childhood friends with a very good relationship, so such behaviors were normal.

But now, she was engaged to Elio.

Regardless of whether Elio minded her having a close male friend, she should maintain distance from the opposite sex.

Candice forcefully withdrew her hand.

Mervyn froze in surprise. He looked back at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Candice forced a smile and said calmly, "We've grown up, so don't hold hands so casually because it might cause misunderstandings."

Mervyn smiled lightly. He said, "It seems you've really grown up, even knowing how to be shy."
