The Wrong Woman

Candice was captivated by Elio's smile, a sight she realized she had never witnessed before. His smile was faint yet seemed to cast a magical spell.

Elio was typically reserved and aloof. It made Candice hope he would smile more often. As she pulled from her thoughts, she met his piercing gaze. She quickly lowered her head and crouched down to pick up some seedlings.

"Let's begin. Where do you think we should plant these?" Candice asked.

Elio approached her and said, "I'll follow your lead."

His simple words warmed Candice, sending a flutter straight to her heart. Even so, she tried to keep her composure and focused on planning the garden's layout.

Elio listened carefully as she explained her ideas.

Nathan quietly approached and gently wrapped his arms around her from behind. He whispered in her ear, "What are you looking at?"

Leaning back against Nathan's chest, Mila sighed softly. "Elio has feelings for Candice. What should we do about it?"

"Candice is both beautiful and kind. It's only natural for Elio to fall for her," Nathan replied casually.
