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

Chapter 10

When Candice arrived at the Elysians‘ residence, dinner was about to begin.

She gave the present to the maid and spotted Alex, who was already at the table.

The man was on his phone and he simply glanced at her when she arrived.

Daniel furrowed his brows and said sternly, “You’re late, Candice. Alex said you were not coming.”

“I got stuck in traffic. Happy birthday, Daniel.”

Candice showed a flawless smile as she sat down beside Alex. She accidentally spotted Alex chatting with Sonia.

Alex noticed her prying gaze, so he put the phone down on the table. He leaned toward her, whispering, “I thought you were no show.”

“You told me to wait for you at the parking lot,” Candice said.

Alex paused for a moment. “I forgot.”

He added frankly, “It was going to rain, so I sent Sonia home first. You can drive anyway.”

“You didn’t reply to my text.” Candice narrowed her eyes to conceal her

emotions.

She sounded as calm and confident as usual but her hand was tightly clenched. “ You didn’t even answer my call. I thought something happened to you.”

He forgot about her because he was sending Sonia home.

Many relatives came to celebrate Daniel’s birthday.

Helen was too busy hosting the guests to give Candice a hard time.

Candice was smart enough to stay away as well.

When Alex’s marriage was brought up in a conversation, Helen reluctantly

looked at Candice and simply said, “Her? It’s still early, everything is still up in the sky.”

The relatives were surprised by her words. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I thought Candice and Alex were together for years now. They are not tying the knot?”

Even though it was not news that Helen looked down on Candice, Candice had

Even Daniel had acknowledged their relationship, so everyone thought Candice would eventually join the Elysian family.

Helen was displeased. She was fed up with the relatives, so she called Candice

over.

She looked at Candice with a meaningful gaze and said, “What should I tell people about you and Alex?”

What else could Candice say about her relationship with Alex?

Helen was aware of Sonia’s existence, so Candice was forced to be honest. “It’s still early. Alex and I are still young, we should put our careers first.”

Talking to Helen was uncomfortable. Candice endured Helen’s sneers for several minutes before she left with a stiff look.

Before she walked away, she heard the relatives talking to Helen, “You’re really strict with her. If she really marries Alex, things won’t be smooth for you two.”

Helen was not afraid at all. She openly said, “Alex won’t marry her.”

Candice froze for a moment. She stiffly moved to the other corner of the living room. As she made her way there, she walked past Alex who was having a video call.

Candice heard his charming giggles. “There’s no one here, I’m all alone.”

She was petrified on the spot. She wanted to leave but Sonia spotted her through the screen and cried in shock.

Candice did not hear what the girl said to Alex.

Alex turned around with a frosty gaze. “You’re eavesdropping on me?”

Candice curled her lips. “I was just passing by.“.

She wanted to leave but the man grabbed her wrist.

Alex stared at her grimly.

Candice pondered for a moment and said, “I heard nothing.”

Alex sized her up carefully and ultimately saw the bracelet on her right wrist.

His brows furrowed. “You’re still wearing it.”

Candice rotated her wrist. “I got used to it.”

Alex gave her the bracelet when she was still in university. It was not something

Alex released her wrist and said, “It’s been years, about time to get tired of
