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.
