The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 955

Somebody was skeptical. "How's that possible? You—"

Tristan interrupted with a serious tone. "We're somewhat related, yes. But didn't you notice she called us by our first name?"

While the others continued to laugh and joke, Candice was quietly moved by Tristan's words.

Tristan's recognition of her meant that her recent efforts hadn't been wasted. However, Michaela remained unconvinced. She was fond of Candice but disagreed with her marrying Elio.

…

After a long day, Candice returned home late at night. She bid farewell to Tristan and Michaela and returned to her room. Then, she indulged in a hot bath and massaged her sore shoulders and neck before settling into bed.

Her phone buzzed. She picked it up and saw it was a message from Elio. "Open the door. I want to see you."

Candice sat up in bed and typed a reply. "It's too late."

Though she longed to spend more time with Elio, they were under his parents' roof, and Michaela had made her wishes clear—Elio and Candice were to sleep in separate rooms. Candice didn't want to cause any upset.

Elio's response came promptly. "Seven days a week, including weekends, you're always with my parents. What about me?" A crying emoji followed his words.

Candice felt a pang of sympathy. Resignedly, she rose from her bed and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Elio slipped inside quickly. He wrapped one arm around Candice and locked the door with his free hand.

Candice looked up at him, about to speak, but Elio silenced her with a deep, passionate kiss.
