The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 951

With a smile, Michaela suggested, "Why not follow Jasper's way of addressing us?"

Candice pouted and playfully said, "No, I prefer keeping it casual with your first names—Michaela, Tristan." Her voice was as sugary-sweet as honey, her smile as innocent as a cherub's.

Tristan felt a warm glow in him at her words. His grin stretched wider, and he blurted out, "Aw, you're so sweet."

Michaela's smile faded, her demeanor turning serious. She quickly changed the subject. "Leo mentioned you'd be staying with us for a bit. We're thrilled and already set up a room for you. Let me show you there."

Candice linked her arm with Michaela's, saying, "Thank you, Michaela."

Michaela sighed, feeling somewhat defeated. Despite her displeasure, Candice's sweet tone and contagious smile made it hard to resist.

Candice followed Michaela as they climbed the stairs to check out her room, only to find she wouldn't be sharing the room with Elio.

Michaela had deliberately set up her room to be as far away from Elio's as she could manage.

It began to dawn on her why Elio seemed so spirited despite their lovemaking marathon last night. Now that they were staying at Hoffis Manor, they had to sleep in separate rooms.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Tristan strolled over to Elio and patted his shoulder.

"Hey, Dad," Elio greeted him respectfully.

Tristan offered a casual smile and said, "Candice is truly a sweetheart. I can see why you're taken with her. But your mother is considering your future. You and Candice come from different worlds."

"So, what world does she come from? And what about me?" Elio questioned challengingly.

Tristan responded earnestly, "She comes from a world bathed in sunlight, filled with laughter and warmth. On the other hand, yours is a battlefield of business, swarming with rivals who are always scheming to outmaneuver you.

"You need a partner who's more than just a pleasant distraction like Candice. You need a weapon, someone who can help you climb to the top."

Wearing a stern expression, Elio remained silent as he headed toward the study.
