Alex’s words were laden with an icy chill.

Candice confronted him, her emotions held tightly in check as she retorted, “My personal life is

not your business.”

She spoke in a neutral tone, showing no emotion.

Alex scoffed, his face expressionless. His voice was deep and cold, asking, “It’s not my concern?

Didn’t you come here for Joe?”

At this, Candice tensed. Her gaze locked on him as she demanded clarification. “What are you

implying?”

His eyes were penetrating. Because of his height, he had to lower his eyes when gazing at

Candice. It gave him an air of aloofness and detachedness.

In a matter–of–fact tone, he reminded her, “Remember, he’s only in Dorrington for a short two–day

visit.”

He was clearly talking about Chad.

Candice gradually regained her composure. She realized that Chad was Alex’s uncle.

While Chad might be reluctant to meet her, Alex could potentially take her to meet him.

Candice’s visage darkened briefly. She quickly regained her composure and asked, “What do you want in exchange?”

A trace of sarcasm briefly crossed Alex’s eyes. He glanced down, Candice’s reflection caught in

his deep gaze.

After a pause, he replied coolly. “You’re overthinking it. What does your business have to do with
