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

Chapter 0454

Nina smiled at him, and Alex's gaze darkened slightly.

She deliberately lowered her voice, and Candice couldn’t hear what she was saying. She could only see Nina's smile and the way Alex's eyelashes drooped.

Candice turned and went back into the restaurant. She ran into Hanley as soon as she entered.

Seeing Candice, Hanley raised his eyebrows. "I was just about to come out and find you. The night view of the ancient city is quite beautiful. Do you want to take a stroll?"

It was not until they walked out of the restaurant that Candice reacted. "What about Nadia and the others?" she asked.

"They're going to the bar later. There's a famous local singer performing there tonight."

Candice was not interested in crowded places like bars. So she followed Hanley to the ancient city.

"Nadia said you're not in a good mood," Hanley said. "Can you tell me why?"

Hanley had been off taking a call earlier, so he had missed all the discussions about Alex and Nina earlier.

Candice hesitated a moment, but still said nothing. The relationship between Henry and Ava didn’t really concern her. It was just that she couldn’t help but remember what Henry had said about not being able to return to Dorrington due to his own difficulties.

Were his difficulties only limited to her? He couldn’t return to Dorrington, but he could bypass Dorrington to come to Stugan City.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Candice's expectations for Henry had long since disappeared without a trace. However, this kind of belated realization of not being seen as a priority still made her uncomfortable.

The next morning, Candice got up and went downstairs. They had agreed last night to visit a scenic spot near Stugan City today.

However, as soon as she entered the elevator, she received a call from Henry. Candice hung up without second thought, but soon after, she received a second call from him. This was followed by a third and fourth call, showing a determination not to give up until he got through.

Candice was annoyed. Just thinking about Henry now made her also think of Ava and Nina.

And Alex.

She hung up again and blocked Henry's number.

Near the scenic spot, there was a famous church. Nadia pulled Ryan and went to make some prayers, but Candice didn’t go. She waited outside on a shaded bench.

The candles and incense in the church were burning strongly today. Even sitting outside, Candice could smell them wafting from inside. Candice sat in the shade, but her phone rang again, this time from an unknown number.

Candice took a look and knew it was Henry. He was always persistent when there was something to gain.

She answered the phone, and Henry's voice came through angrily. "Candice, did you block me again? Do you still remember I am your father?"

Candice asked in a deep voice. "I'll hang up if there's nothing."

Henry paused, then asked in a restrained tone, "Where are you now? I have something serious to tell you!"

"Say it now if there's anything. I'm busy." Candice's attitude was resolute. She looked at the gray stone of the church in the distance, her eyes deep.

Henry seemed unhappy with Candice's attitude, but he still restrained his dissatisfaction and said, "Let me ask you, did you have a conflict with Nina?"

Candice was stunned but then realized that Henry was now closely linked with Ava, so of course he would know about Nina.

The self-deprecating expression on her face deepened, as she could guess what Henry was going to say next.

Sure enough, the next moment, Henry's questioning tone came out, as if interrogating her. "You never admitted that you had a relationship with Alex. I'll ask you one last time, is it true?"

The sarcasm in Candice's eyes grew thicker. "If I say yes--"

Before she could finish her sentence, Henry's authoritative tone interrupted her. He lectured Candice in a stern voice. "If you really have nothing to do with Alex, then you should know about Nina, Ava's daughter, being engaged to him, right? If you have no relationship with him, then you should stop having any contact with Alex in the future, so as not to be accused of seducing a married man!"
