Chapter 922

Reluctantly, Elio withdrew from her tender lips, their foreheads meeting as they exchanged heavy, tangled breaths.

Elio suppressed a smile, his lips curling slightly. "I could. It's just that your family is always around, and your office is quite busy."

Candice now understood his implication. He preferred meeting in private, either in his office or at home.
