The Wrong Woman

Chapter 936

If Candice didn't love Elio, all these things would be unforgivable offenses.

In Elio's heart, he didn't know about her love.

But the truth was, she loved Elio very much.

In her eyes, the wrongs Elio had done were just because of his deep love and his jealousy of her closeness to Mervyn.

Although they were all bad deeds, she couldn't bring herself to hate him. In fact, she felt somewhat moved.

Elio hugged Candice tightly because he was very happy that Candice had chosen him.

He had always loved her so cautiously.

After a while, Candice pushed Elio away and looked up at him. She said, "Mervyn is still waiting outside. He won't leave unless I talk to him." Elio said nervously, "Let's talk to him together."

Candice knew Mervyn too well. If Elio were there, Mervyn would act impulsively and even fight Elio. It was impossible for them to have a calm conversation.

"I'll go talk to him first," Candice said. Then, she let go of his hand and freed herself from Elio's embrace.

Elio grabbed her hand and then stared at her intensely. He asked, "Will you really come back?"

Candice smiled gently and asked him back, "I never thought of leaving you, so how could I come back?"

Elio was stunned.

After pushing his hand away, Candice stood on her tiptoes to kiss his lips. She shyly murmured, "I'm going home now."

Elio quietly watched her innocent and lovely face, which didn't seem like she was lying, but he just couldn't believe it.

As Candice turned to leave, he still felt low-spirited. He watched her back as various plans flashed through his mind.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Outside, Mervyn saw Candice coming out from inside. Without a word, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the front passenger seat. Then, he drove toward the Morrison Residence.

Mervyn asked angrily, "Out of all the men in the world, why Elio? You and him are from two different worlds. His life is all about work and making money. He's two-faced when he is dealing with business matters.

"He's always dealing with rich and powerful people. He is also surrounded by lots of beautiful women. The world he is staying in is full of deceit and greed.

"And you? You want to have a partner that you love. You are curious about the world, that's why you want to travel and explore, right? You and Elio are really not compatible."

Candice calmly replied, "But I like him."

Mervyn was so shocked that he slammed on the brakes.

Candice lurched forward from the inertia. Then, she was pulled back by the seatbelt. She was startled and nervous so she took a deep breath to calm herself. After that, she looked at him in confusion.

Mervyn gripped the steering wheel tightly and angrily asked, "Say that again?"

"I like Elio."

Mervyn's expression turned somber. As he gritted his teeth, he asked, "When did this start? Was it after the business trip? What sweet lies did he use to deceive you?"

Candice took a deep breath to calm herself. Then, she said, "I've liked him since I was young. I've almost forgotten how long I've liked him. I've liked him for at least ten years."

Mervyn laughed bitterly as his eyes grew teary. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Candice sighed heavily. She said, "Actually, everything you just told me about Elio deliberately setting me up, I don't feel angry at all. I also don't hate him. Instead, I feel happy, touched, and even nervous.

"You're beyond help!" Mervyn fumed as he hit the steering wheel to vent his anger.

Candice looked at him seriously and said, "Mervyn, we'll always be best friends."

Mervyn wore a bitter smile because he didn't want to accept this relationship.

"I'm going to marry Elio soon. We should keep some distance from now on, and avoid actions that could be easily misunderstood by him. Like today, don't pull me away from him so casually because I'm his woman."
