Chapter 0230

They were standing very close to each other and the faint smell of alcohol on Alex kept wafting over to Candice.

It was very much like the wine Sonia had spilled on her clothes.

Candice turned her face sideways, frowning. She felt pressured.

Alex’s hand was still on her neck and Candice felt that perhaps Alex was drunk and unable to think straight. She gritted her teeth and hit Alex’s hand away, taking a few steps back. “Mr. Elysian, please be mindful of boundarie,” she reminded him with a cold look.

Alex’s eyes darkened, his emotions unreadable. He just stared at Candice, his pitch black eyes dark enough to suck her right in.

After a while, he asked hoarsely, “Are you able to accept anyone as long as it is a man?”

He was drunk, and his breathing was heavy. The corners of his eyes were a little reddened from

the alcohol.

“Me. Jackson, Hanley, Solomon. Who will it be next? Sieg or that Moreno guy?” Hatred brimmed in Alex’s eyes. “Should I say that you are too forbearing or should I say that you are too open- minded?”

Candice did not want to analyze things with a drunkard. Besides, Alex was talking about groundless things. She had explained countless times, but he would not believe her. What was the point of explaining again when he was drunk?

Candice shut her eyes and tried hard to calm her raging emotions before opening her eyes again.

She stared at Alex. “Since you believe I’m such a person, why do you keep coming to me?”

He had hidden her behind his back earlier. Why?

Candice suppressed her anger and raised her head slightly, looking directly into Alex’s eyes. Alex, you are even cheaper than I am like this. You’ll make me think that you can’t forget me, so

you keep seeking me out.”

Alex’s eyes darkened and he frowned, giving out a chilling aura. He squinted. “Are you even worthy of such efforts?”

Candice smiled self–deprecatingly. She paused for a moment before saying, “Yeah, I’m not

worthy.”

The estate was bright with lights, but the parking lot was a little darker as there were many trees

nearby.

When Candice found her car, she accidentally kicked into a stone and the pain jolted through her.
