Candice caught Elio's smile and struggled to hold back her own. Michaela, Tristan, and Josia paused their discussion on economics. They were surprised by the lighthearted moment between Candice and Elio over dinner.However, the most astonishing change for them was Elio. Known for his composed, dignified, and reserved demeanor, he seemed completely different tonight. The trio was dumbfounded to find Elio laughing more in one evening than they had seen him laugh in the past year.Elio chuckled and softly asked, "Is there more?"Candice took a sip of her soup, paused, and began a tale, "A tortoise wanted to race a hare. But the hare, with a condescending tone, said, 'Your kind won once by fluke. Quit dreaming.'"Undeterred, the tortoise tried every method to persuade the hare, who remained unmoved. Finally, the tortoise pulled out a wad of cash and said, 'Consider this your fee for turning up!'"A broad grin immediately spread across the hare's face as it responded, 'Mr. Tortoise,

A goofy grin spread across Tristan's face as he responded, "This is the first time I've seen Michaela dance. She's actually quite graceful."Flushed with embarrassment at the compliment, Michaela was soon guided in front of the camera by Candice, who taught her another few simple dance steps. Caught up in the moment, Michaela danced along, her laughter tinged with shyness.Her somewhat awkward movements reminded Tristan of a clumsy penguin, which made him laugh. Their laughter filled the living room, but Josie felt like an outsider amid the joy.She had always been aware of everyone's fondness for Candice, but now she understood why. Candice's natural charm and youthful innocence were simply irresistible.Josie felt completely disconnected from everyone there. She returned to her room and texted Fenna, "Aunt Fenna, there's no hope left between Elio and me. I'm giving up."Almost instantly, Josie received a text message from Fenna. "Don't give up just yet. The outcome remains unc

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 sle

The early morning sun filtered through the window, casting a gentle glow across the room as it peeked through the curtain gaps.Candice lay curled up in Elio's arms, both sound asleep in the warmth of the bed, completely naked and entwined. She stirred slowly, blinking away the remnants of sleep as she woke.Her movements roused Elio, who gazed fondly at her blushing face with contentment. He leaned in to kiss her forehead.Candice smiled at him, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Good morning."Unable to hold back, Elio affectionately nuzzled her cheek, his voice enticing and husky. "You're awake?"Candice responded with a soft hum.Elio rolled over gently, positioning himself above her, and buried his head in her neck, showering her with kisses and nuzzles. Feeling ticklish, Candice squirmed and pushed against his strong chest with her hands."Leo, let's not start the morning like this," she murmured shyly.Hearing her call him "Leo" thrilled him even more, deepening his sens

Candice was about to defend Elio when a sudden force gripped her arm, yanking her up from her chair. Before she fully understood what was happening, Elio had pulled her to his side.His face contorted in anger as he glared at Michaela. He exuded a strong and intimidating presence as he spoke sharply, "I know I'm not worthy of Candice, but I don't need your well-meaning advice."I'm not a tool you've crafted to take over the family business. I'm a person and your son. Don't I have the right to love? Don't I deserve happiness?"Michaela's expression turned steely as she fixed a stern glare on Elio and said, "You need to know your place."Upon hearing her harsh words, the pain Elio had suppressed for more than 20 years suddenly burst forth. His voice rose to an almost hysterical growl. "I want to embrace life, too, to be lively and engaging. But did you ever give me the chance?"Since childhood, even a simple soccer game was forbidden and dismissed as a distraction from my studies. I

Candice wrapped her arms around Elio's waist and gently stroked his back as she leaned into his embrace. She asked, "Where are we headed now? Are we not going back to Hoffis Manor?""Do you still want to go back?" Elio asked.Candice pondered for a moment before saying, "It seems irrelevant now. Your mom is fond of me, but not enough to welcome me as her daughter-in-law. She's still set on you marrying Josie."Elio held her shoulders and eased her backward. "Why bother with these futile efforts when you already understand?""I had to try. At least now I know it was a waste of time," Candice replied.Elio offered a helpless smile and kissed her forehead. "Let's head back to our place. I've had my fill of the torture of sleeping in separate rooms at my parents' house."Candice's cheeks turned pink as she nodded bashfully. Soon, they drove home together.…The abrupt departure of Candice and Elio cast a somber shadow over Hoffis Manor. With Candice's lively spirit absent, evenings

Fenna stepped forward, her voice gentle. "Leo, Candice, this is on you. Your mother is getting older and as her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law, shouldn't you be there for her? It's because you moved out and left her alone that this terrible incident happened."Elio's face clouded over, and he was ready to retort when Candice squeezed his hand, silently urging him to stay calm. She didn't want Elio confronting Fenna at the hospital.Candice had her emotions in check, but Jasper didn't. Anyone who dared to cross Candice would face his fury. He stormed up to Josie and gave her a severe reprimand. "Josie, what's gotten into you?"Josie was taken aback as Fenna watched, bewildered by his outburst.Jasper continued his tirade with his hands on his hips. "Even though Candice is engaged to Uncle Elio, she's just his partner. You, on the other hand, are Grandma's chosen future daughter-in-law. She only sees you in that role."As her daughter-in-law, shouldn't you be there to care for h

Michaela had a team of professional caregivers and rehabilitation therapists looking after her around the clock. Yet, Candice remained concerned about potential complications."Let me stay with you tonight, Michaela," Candice suggested.In a gentle tone, Michaela reassured her. "It's fine, Candice. You should head home and get some rest. I'm in good hands here."Fenna immediately nudged Josie and gave her a meaningful glance. Taking the hint, Josie said, "Mrs. Hoffis, I have tomorrow off. How about I stay over tonight instead?"Michaela glanced at Josie and pondered briefly before replying, "Sure, Josie, stay with me tonight. We have things in common."Candice pursed her lips awkwardly and stayed quiet.Growing frustrated with Michaela's behavior, which seemed increasingly out of line, Elio took Candice's hand and said, "The caregivers are here with Mom, so you don't have to spend the night at the hospital. I don't want you to wear yourself out."Candice managed a faint smile
