Chapter 0460
The weather in Stugan City was clear when they left the next day.
By the time the nended at Dorrington City Airport, it was already one o''clock in the afternoon.
Everyone had agreed to go out for a barbecue together.
Candice had just turned her phone on and there were several missed calls and messages, all from
Henry.
The first few messages were meaningless, but in thest one he informed her that he wasing
to Dorrington City.
She didn''t care whether he came to Dorrington City or not. She deleted the message and didn''t
think about it anymore.
There were many things to deal with after the New Year. Having taken such a long break, work had
piled up.
That night, Candice didn''t return to Northdale, but went directly to the studio to handle several
clients'' issues.
She would be heading to Sris again soon, so she needed to quickly finish her work.
Seeing her so quickly immersed in work, Nadia sighed. "A person who doesn''t suffer from post-
holiday syndrome like you is terrifying. I think I need to seriously consider whether I should continue
being friends with you. I''m afraid I''ll be worked to death by you." Although she said so, she wasn''t
idle herself as she picked up some documents and said to Candice, "I''ll be heading out now. I need
to deliver these documents quickly."
As soon as Nadia left, the entire vi fell silent. Hanley had been called to a meeting by his
department early in the morning, leaving Candice alone.
However, Nadia hadn''t been gone for five minutes when she returned with a strange look on her
face.
"Candice, your father is outside and wants to see you. He''s being stopped by the security guard."
Candice was taken aback. She looked at her phone, which only showed the message from Henry
last night saying he had arrived in Dorrington City.
She looked down and said, "Could you please tell the security guard that I don''t want to see him."
Henry seeking her out wouldn''t bring anything good, and with everything that had happened in
Stugan City, she had no desire to see him at all.
Fortunately, this was a high-end vi area, and it wouldn''t be so easy for people to get in.
Candice didn’t think much about it afterwards, assuming Henry had already left.
But unexpectedly, when she went out in the afternoon to handle some banking matters, she was
stopped by Henry as soon as she left themunity gate.
He hadn''t even changed his clothes; he looked dusty.

He blocked her path. His voice sounded tired, and hisplexion wasn''t good. "Do you know that
I''ve been waiting for you outside for a whole day?"
Candice took two steps back, keeping a safe distance from him. "I didn''t ask you to wait for me
here."
"I don''t want to argue with you about these things." Henry looked at her for a while before sighing
feebly and putting on the appearance of a loving father. "Candice, don''t hold such great animosity
towards me. I really came today to have a serious talk with you."
"I don''t think there''s anything between us that needs to be talked about seriously." Candice had
already seen through Henry''s falseness and selfishness. His seriousness was only about remedying
his own interests from her.
Her gaze was cold, and she was about to walk around him.
"Candice!" He saw that she was giving him no face, and couldn''t help but feel annoyed. He stopped
her with a shout. "How can you be so ungrateful and unheeding? The engagement between Alex
and Nina was discussed and agreed upon by both families. Know your ce. What do you have to
compete with Nina for?
"Why do you insist on bringing trouble upon yourself? You''re already an adult so have some self-
respect and use your brain, will you? Do you think you can marry into the Elysian family just
because you''re pregnant? Let me tell you the truth, no one in the Elysian family looks up to you! If
you persist in entangling with Alex, there will be bitter consequences for you!"
