The Wrong Woman

Chapter 938

When Candice heard Elio say her name, she was surprised. She put down her hands and leaned close to him, asking, "How did you know it was me?"

The moment Elio saw Candice, his stern face instantly relaxed. He gradually smiled as he replied, "I know it was you the moment I touched the back of your hand."

Candice looked at the back of her hand, puzzled.

Elio smiled gently. He would never guess anyone else except for her.

Candice stood up then walked around the sofa and sat down opposite Elio.

Sean greeted her politely, "Hello, Ms. Morrison."

Candice responded, "Hello, Mr. Lowe."

Elio waved his hand at Sean, signaling him to leave.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sean put the clothes in the laundry room before leaving the villa.

As soon as the door closed, Elio leaned forward and softly asked, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me in advance? Have you had dinner? Are you hungry?"

Candice was momentarily overwhelmed by his barrage of questions.

She felt like discussing the important matter, so she sat upright. She felt a bit nervous. Despite knowing Elio liked her, she was still afraid of being rejected.

She rubbed her hands as she forced a smile. She quietly said, "Elio, I want to move in with you. Is that okay?"

Elio froze as he thought he had misheard her. He asked in shock, "What did you say?"

Feeling embarrassed, Candice took a deep breath and mustered her courage to repeat herself. "I want to move in with you. Is that okay?" Seeing his astonished expression, Candice felt uneasy because she feared his rejection. If he rejected her, it would be very embarrassing. Before he could refuse, she forced a stiff smile and said calmly, "It's okay if you don't want to. I was just saying... I..."

As she said, she stood up, wanting to leave to not further embarrass herself.

Elio immediately stood up and grabbed her arm. He quickly said, "Sure, why not? This is your home."

Upon hearing his response, Candice was elated.

Feeling a bit nervous, Elio asked, "Did your family agree?"

Candice nodded.

Elio continued, "Just stay here tonight. I'll get you new clothes and daily necessities, so you don't have to move your luggage back and forth." Candice smiled and agreed, "Okay."

Elio's hand slid down from her arm to her palm. Holding her hand, he leaned closer and asked with a low and maic voice, "Are you sure?" Candice replied, "Yes, I'm sure."

Cupping her rosy and pretty face, Elio gazed into her clear eyes. He murmured, his voice hoarse, "Candice it's just me here. Living with me. you won't have a lively family atmosphere or other family members around. My place is boring and lonely. Are you really willing to stay with me?"

Candice's eyes sparkled with love as she playfully replied, "It used to be just you. From now on, you have me by your side. In the future, you'll never feel lonely or bored in this home."

Elio was so excited that he couldn't even react. At that moment, his heartbeat quickened.

Candice asked, "Which guest room will I be staying in?"

Guest room?

"You're moving in but not sleeping with me?"

Candice instantly blushed. She shyly looked down and said softly, "I think it's better to let both of us slowly get used to it because I used to sleep alone."

Elio cupped her face and looked at her shy expression. He said firmly "I've also slept alone for over 20 years. You're moving in to deepen our relationship, right?"

Candice nodded.

Elio continued with a firm attitude, "Then starting today, we'll adapt to each other's presence. We can start by sharing a bed."
