The Wrong Woman

Jasper had no choice but to accept this reality.

Elio stepped into the car, and the vehicle slowly began its departure from Morrison Residence.

In the back seat, Elio quietly observed the passing scenery outside the window, his lips betraying a subtle smile that he couldn't suppress.

Equally delighted, Sean chimed in, "Congratulations, Mr. Hoffis."

Breaking his silence with an unusual response, Elio replied, "Thank you."

However, before allowing Elio to revel too much in it, Sean posed a sobering question, "Mr. Hoffis, how do you plan to gain approval from Mrs. Hoffis?"

Elio's expression instantly darkened. Inside the car, silence reigned.

Meanwhile, in the living room of Morrison Residence, everyone received the news and hurried back home.

Daniel and Sienna were left astounded when they learned that Candice had proposed to Elio in front of the family.

Seated among her family, Candice found herself bombarded with questions from all sides.

"What's going on between you and Elio? When did it start? Why the sudden rush to marriage?"

In response, Candice laid everything bare. "I've never officially dated him, but I have had a crush on him since childhood. I want to marry the man I've always loved." "And how does he feel about you?" came the next question.

"He wants to marry me too," Candice replied.

Daniel clenched his fist in annoyance. "You've always been naive, oblivious to the ways of the world. It must be Elio, scheming and plotting all along."

Sienna intervened, "Let's not jump to conclusions. Regardless of whether he's scheming or not, his character is unquestionable. Apart from that fake fiancée, he's been scandal-free."

Reluctant to let go of his cherished daughter, Daniel questioned, "He's aloof, sensitive, and reserved. Is he really suitable for Candice?"

Sienna countered, "I believe he's a good fit. Candice has always been innocent, carefree, and cheerful. She complements Elio's sensitive and reserved nature."

Florence, feeling disheartened, added, "I still think Candice is too young. There's no need for her to marry so early."

"Yes, I agree."

"True, she's still young. There's no need to hurry into marriage."

Sensing the shift in opinion against Elio, Jasper swiftly interjected, "But now it's Candice who wants to marry Unele Elio. She proposed herself. After making the proposal, who would then stand someone up?

All eyes turned to Candice.

Candice nodded vigorously, a radiant smile lighting up her face. "I'm the one who wants to marry him."

Curious, Florence inquired, "How far have you two gone in your relationship?"

Candice nervously glanced at Florence, her cheeks suddenly flushing red. She was at a loss for words.

Daniel swiftly intervened, "They're already discussing marriage. It doesn't matter how far they've gone." Candice smiled knowingly. She was pleased to have such understanding family members.

She had expected outrage over her relationship with Elio, expecting berating directed at him and

between their families.

Yet, to her surprise, such worries were absent.

For her family, the connection itself took a backseat. Elio was what truly mattered.

Daniel pressed on, "Candice, was this decision spontaneous?"

Passion and impulsiveness were fundamental to marriage.

Candice responded, "Dad, I genuinely love Elio. I've loved him since I was little. I used to think he had a girlfriend, so I never dared to let anyone know. I just silently admired him."

Daniel chuckled helplessly. "And now you're boldly declaring it to everyone?"

Candice smiled knowingly, blushing as she averted her gaze. "Because he doesn't have a girlfriend or a fiancée. He's single."

The entire family couldn't help but marvel at Candice's bashful demeanor.
