Chapter 0489


    Yuna didn’t notice, but she met Alex''s dark and deep gaze.


    Candice pursed her lips and walked away. When Yuna and Alex were talking, there was a very


    familiar and intimate feeling. Even Sonia had never received such a tone.


    Candice felt she understood Alex. He was just heartless. That was why he had indulged and


    pampered Sonia so much in the past, then got engaged to Nina, and now allowed Yuna to act


    coquettish.


    Behind him, Yuna watched Candice''s figure, her light-colored long skirt outlining her figure perfectly.


    Yuna couldn’t help but whistle. "Her figure is amazing, she''s wife material."


    As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cold gaze next to her. Alex''s eyes were like ice des,


    piercing through her.


    He spoke in a deep voice, "Is this how your family taught you?"


    -


    In the end, Yuna managed to get Candice''s WhatsApp. She greeted her enthusiastically, and


    Candice replied indifferently.


    Then she received a message from Ka, who was there to gossip, asking if she was in South City.


    Candice confirmed, and Ka replied instantly. "No wonder. I knew something was up when Yuna


    came asking me for your WhatsApp ID. But if she hadn''te to me, I would have forgotten. I


    wanted to tell you earlier, Sonia got married."


    Ka said Sonia got married around the New Year, to a divorced crippled man in his forties.


    It was said that from blind date to marriage, it had taken less than half a month. The man was


    known for his alcoholism. His previous wife had divorced him because of his drinking, and he had


    no job, relying on his mother''s tailoring shop to earn money to support the family.


    An employee from Aether lived nearby and had seen Sonia being scolded by her mother-inw


    when she went to the tailor shop to pick up clothes, and had felt sorry for her.


    After hearing what Ka said, Candice thought of the reward that Darius had mentioned before.


    What kind of reward was this?


    Candice didn’t ask Darius. Her focus with Sonia had faded with the birth of Ellis.


    She also believed in karma, that good and evil would be repaid, and that the cycle of justice would


    prevail.

    It seemed that everyone now took it for granted that Candice and Hanley would be together. Yana


    now joked without reservation, asking her at any time when she would give Hanley a chance to


    make it official.


    Candice didn’t answer. She knew that there was always a missing opportunity between her and


    Hanley.


    Yana encouraged her. "Happiness is something you have to reach out and grab yourself. Hanley,


    that reserved Capricorn, is good at holding back. If you''re interested in him, you have to take the


    initiative. Everyone can see that he likes you."


    Candice had never made the first move on anyone before. Back when she was with Alex they had


    just gotten along naturally.


    Yana mentioned that Hanley''s birthday was soon and Candice could use it as an opportunity to give


    him a surprise.


    Candice thought about it for a long time and she was constantly being brainwashed by Yana and


    Nadia in turns. So, she ended up deciding to take the effort to prepare a surprise for Hanley.


    She thought about it and even if she was not confessing her feelings, it could be considered an


    effort made for a friend.


    However, none of them expected that Hanley would suddenly receive a call from overseas a day


    before his birthday, saying that his mother''s condition had turned for the worse.


    Candice held her phone as she looked at the room which she had put in much effort to decorate


    and sheforted him. "Auntie will be fine, don''t worry too much."


    The words "when will youe back?" were on the tip of her tongue, but after some thought,


    Candice ultimately didn’t say anything.
