The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 943

Elio remained silent as he wrapped his arms around Candice's shoulders and pulled her close. He gazed up at the night sky, trying to calm the anxiety and unease within him by feeling the comforting warmth of her presence in his arms.

His apparent generosity was nothing more than a façade, and his understanding was just an act. Deep down, he despised seeing Candice interact with Mervyn.

Even though their relationship was purely platonic, Elio was overwhelmed by jealousy and bitterness so intense it drove him to madness. He simply couldn't stand it.

Yet, Elio chose to keep this side of himself hidden from Candice, not wanting to reveal how petty and jealous he could be. He believed it was best to conceal his flaws until after they were married to avoid complications.

…

It was a bright, sunny morning when Mervyn arrived. Candice and Elio were walking to the front yard of the villa when they saw him approaching.

The two men exchanged no greetings. Their hostile glances were like a silent duel. Despite the storm of emotions raging within them, both managed to maintain a calm exterior.

"Mervyn, you're here?" Candice greeted him politely.

Upon seeing Candice, Mervyn's expression softened. He took her wrist and led her toward his car. "Come on, get in," he urged.

"Where are you taking me?" Candice asked.

"Don't ask questions. Just follow me."

Candice turned as they walked, wanting to say goodbye to Elio, but Mervyn hurried her along and practically shoved her into the car.

Elio stayed calm from the start and stood silently with an unreadable gaze fixed on Candice, keeping his thoughts hidden.

As the car started pulling away, Mervyn shot a sharp glare at Elio and muttered, "Such a faker. He's clenching his fists so hard they might crack, yet he keeps up the act of being a gentleman."
