Chapter 0005

Alex was not close with his mother, Helen.

From the first time Alex brought Candice back home, Helen had never liked her.

Alex preferred some distance between Candice and his family, so unless absolutely necessary, he would never send her back to his mother’s place.

Candice called Alex.

He answered this time. Judging from his tone and giggles, he seemed to be in a good mood.

Candice paused briefly before she said, “You seemed to be in a good mood.”

“Not bad.” Alex admitted without any elaboration. He stifled his giggles and asked, “What is it?”

Candice narrowed her eyes. “Your mother wants me to drop by her house now.”

Alex was silent but Candice heard a thud from his side, followed by Sonia’s cry. She must have bumped into something.

Before Alex ended the call at the next second, he said, “You don’t need to ask me about that.”

Candice sat in the meeting room for ten minutes before she drove to the Elysians‘ residence.

Alex must have forgotten about the first time he brought Candice home when Helen gave her a hard time and even spilled hot water on her hand. He gently stroked her ear and whispered to console her, telling her to be careful of his

mother.

Candice arrived at the Elysians‘ residence and bumped into Helen, who was sending a lady off.
