My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s)

Chapter 0457

Almost as soon as Candice exited, Henry came over from the side.

The anger on his face was obvious, and he was even more unhappy when he saw Candice. He began to question angrily. "What are you doing here? Did you secretly follow me here? And what did you just say to Ava?"

He launched a barrage of questions, his expression fierce and urgent, as if Candice was disturbing him.

She waited for Henry to finally stop and then spoke indifferently. "So, you're afraid of what I might tell Ava?"

Looking at Henry's nervous expression, Candice went straight to the point. The anxiety in Henry's tone was indeed suspicious. She glanced around, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Are you afraid I'll tell her about Hailey, or that you have another wife in Solaris?"

Not many people knew about Henry's wife in Solaris, except for what Darius had told her when they were in contact before.

Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Henry's wife, his expression immediately changed. He looked furious, raised his hand, and was about to strike Candice. "Say that again!"

Looking at the enraged Henry, Candice couldn’t help but find him extremely ridiculous. It was already enough to prove how foolish she had been to give Henry the benefit of the doubt before.

What good could a man be who would abandon his wife and child to go sleep around with women?

Whether it was Yvonne, or his current wife and Ava, meeting Henry was very unlucky

Candice watched as Henry raised his hand, expecting it to land on her, but instead, a hand with distinct knuckles came from the side to block it.

Alex had appeared at some point, and he raised his hand to stop Henry's movement, positioning himself in front of Candice. His tone was heavy. "Mr. Renault, when will you change your habit of using violence?"

Henry suddenly noticed Alex and was stunned. He asked instinctively, "Didn't you just go inside?"

Alex ignored him, turned to look at Candice, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Candice glanced at Alex with a complicated look, then turned to look at Henry.

She was really tired of Henry's occasional entanglement and harassment. She was obvious about the fact that she didn’t care about him or his matters at all, but he always came to her looking for trouble.

But giving explanations didn’t work on people like Henry. His way of thinking seemed to be different. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Feeling disheartened, Candice could only turn around and leave.

Fortunately, Hanley's dinner had coincidentally ended too, and he called her.

Candice waited at the door for them to return together.

Hanley and the others came out quickly. Everyone seemed normal, and Candice didn’t ask if they had seen Alex and Henry.

"It was really impressive how you just walked away from me and outside." Nina stood in the corridor, looking at Alex who had returned, her tone mocking. "Do you still remember why we came here

today?"

Alex's expression was much colder than before, and he reminded Nina faintly, "So, now you remember?"

Nina's expression stiffened, then she smiled indifferently and said, "Alex, your level of concern for Candice really makes it hard for me not to suspect that her child is yours." She smiled and gently reminded Alex, "I don't think Uncle Daniel and Aunt Helen would accept that, would they?"

Alex's steps faltered slightly. Nina's scheming and probing were already written all over her face. He gave Nina a glance with boundless coldness in his dark eyes. "You're overthinking it."

Nina raised an eyebrow, about to show a satisfied smile, but then she heard Alex's voice again.

"Also, we only have a business relationship,” he added. “I really dislike unrelated people paying attention to my private affairs."

Nina's smile froze, and she looked up at Alex. To be honest, so far Alex was her most satisfactory potential marriage partner. Whether in terms of looks, abilities, or family background, he was outstanding.

Nina remembered Ava's words. She tried to control her emotions and then waved her hand casually. "Okay, it's my fault. I won't do it again in the future." She said so, but there was more gloom building up in her eyes.

She was not a fool. Alex’s protectiveness of Candice was obvious.

Especially the first time they bumped into Candice in Stugan City. Whenever Candice was around, Alex's eyes would follow her instinctively. No matter how cold he appeared, his eyes and subconscious actions betrayed his feelings.

Nina did not have many hobbies. She just liked studying psychology. At that first meeting she had already seen that there was an indescribable relationship between Alex and Candice.

But back then, she hadn’t been very interested in Alex, so it hadn’t mattered to her. But now it was different. Alex was her fiancé, and she naturally could not tolerate Candice's existence.

It included Candice’s unborn child, whether or not it was Alex’s.

Nina had been taught by Ava. Naturally, she understood the principles of removing troubles at the root and slowly boiling the frog so it didn’t notice.

She quickly regained her composure and looked at Alex, saying, "I have talked to my mother about our cooperation. She’s very interested in what you said, and if you can return to the headquarters of Aether, it will have a great impact on us..."

In the last two days in Stugan City, Nadia suggested going up a mountain. "I heard that there is a famous hot spring inn on Peak Mountain. We can soak in the hot spring there for a night and then have a beautiful end to this trip."

Although Candice could not soak in the hot spring, she had no objections. So, the next morning, the group set off directly to Peak Mountain.

The temperature on Peak Mountain was low. When they left in the morning, Candice changed her clothes. Nadia looked at her belly thoughtfully. "I feel like our Baby Mulberry has grown up a bit. Do you feel anything?"

Candice also looked at her belly. It did indeed seem a bit rounder and more obvious than before, but she did not really feel anything different. She said so to Nadia.

However, just as she finished speaking, she felt as if something in her belly moved. She was slightly stunned, thinking it was just her imagination.

When they arrived at Peak Mountain, it was already noon. Because of Candice's condition, they went up by car. The environment in the inn was very quiet, with good air quality. It was a great place to rest.

Nadia took photos happily and posted them in the group chat. Candice followed behind her, checking out the environment of the inn.

She saw a group of people coming from a distance.

A young woman was leading the way, and Daniel and his group were with her.

The young woman was the owner of the inn. Her voice was gentle and clear as she introduced the situation of the inn to Daniel.

Candice's footsteps faltered.

How could she forget? Daniel and Helen had a habit of investing, and when tourism in Stugan City was just starting to heat up, Daniel had seized the opportunity to buy a lot of land here for development.
