Chapter 195: A Man and a Woman Alone in a Room
Candice's hands, soft as willows, tightly wrapped around Patrick's neck, her eyes filled with affection as she gazed at him adoringly.
She could imagine the robust and powerful physique hidden beneath his black suit, captivating and intoxicating.
Candice licked her somewhat parched lips, feeling her heart accelerate, pounding almost out of her chest.
Tonight, she would undoubtedly spend an unforgettable night with Patrick.
She would become his woman, his only beloved, the mistress of the Pansy family!
Thinking so, Candice couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart. She pressed herself against him, wanting to meld with him.
Patrick was embraced tightly by Candice. Her soft body was so close to his; he could even hear her slightly hurried breath.
For some reason, Patrick felt this sensation, so unfamiliar, even somewhat repulsive.
Clearly, when they were locked in that dark room, scared by the dogs, and Candy held him, he felt warmth, familiarity, and a touch of excitement.
But now, Candice's touch felt different.
Why?
"Are you sure Candice is really Candy?" Jane's words suddenly echoed in Patrick's ear.
Was the woman in front of him truly Candy?
This thought flickered in Patrick's mind.
"Paddy, do you remember when we were locked in that dark room together? Back then, you were afraid of the big dogs, and every time you wanted me to hold you, just like now." Candice spoke while casually adjusting her nightgown, revealing a hint of her chest and the red plum-shaped birthmark on her shoulder.
Patrick's gaze fell on Candice's shoulder, snapping back to reality. How could he doubt Candy?
Candice was Candy.
He was sure of it.
But-
His feelings for Candy had completely changed from eight years ago.
After all, eight years had passed, and they had both grown up.
It was normal for feelings to change over time.
"Candy, don't do this." Patrick felt a bit uncomfortable in Candice's tight embrace. He pushed her away, stood up, and elegantly adjusted his clothes.
"Paddy, don't you like me?" Candice didn't expect Patrick to push her away suddenly. Her expression changed slightly, "Have you forgotten that you said you liked me and wanted to marry me?" Patrick's movements paused, and he frowned, "Candy, those were just childhood jokes."
"Jokes? But I was serious." Candice stood up, facing Patrick, looking up at him earnestly with a slightly excited tone.
Why was Patrick so indifferent to her?
She had dropped enough hints, and as a strong and mature man, how could he remain unmoved?
Candice's beautiful eyes teared up, and her small hand grabbed Patrick's arm. She murmured, "Paddy, I really like you. When I fell off the cliff years ago, severely injured, it was thinking of you that kept me alive. All these years, I've been thinking of you constantly. You said you would marry me; you won't go back on your word, right?"
Mentioning the events of those years, a sudden wave of guilt surged through Patrick's heart.
Yes, he had said those words back then.
And Candy had fallen off the cliff to save him.
He owed Candy.
"Candy, can we talk about these things later?" Patrick gently patted Candice's hand, somewhat dismissively, "For now, go to bed and get some good rest. Don't think too much."
"Is it because of Jane?" Candice bit her lip, her eyes full of unwillingness.
On such a good opportunity tonight, she used all her tricks, yet Patrick seemed to feel nothing!
At the mention of Jane's name, Patrick's gaze softened a bit, remaining silent.
It really was because of Jane!
A barely perceptible hint of
resentment flashed in Candice's
eyes. "Paddy, don't forget, Jane has
already called off the engagement with you. She's with Osborn now.
Jane isn't worth your..." Content

Before Candice could finish her words, Patrick interrupted in a stern tone, "Candy, it's late. You should sleep."
Sensing Patrick's impatience, Candice knew that if she persisted now, it would only backfire, making Patrick dislike her.
Taking a deep breath, nails tightly
pinching into her palms, forced
a sweet smile, "Okay,
I'll go to sleep. What ab
"I'll sit here with you." Patrick stretched his long legs and sat on the nearby sofa.
Candice silently lay down and turned off the light.
In the dim moonlight, Patrick's tall figure sat on the sofa, his handsome face showing a touch of melancholy.
Watching Patrick, who was so close yet indifferent to her, Candice tightly clenched her fists.
Jane!
The reason Patrick was so cold to her was because of Jane!
She wouldn't let Jane off!
Patrick would eventually be hers, Candice's!
A sleepless night passed, and the next morning, Patrick drove Candice to Pansy Group.
As Candice and Patrick entered the Pansy Group building, Jane happened to be arriving for work.
Catching a glimpse of Jane's tall
figure behind them, Candice reached out and hooked her arm around
Patrick's, softly saying, "Paddy, 1

Patrick gave a faint acknowledgment, and Candice leaned her head on Patrick's shoulder, the action appearing particularly intimate.
Witnessing this scene in front of her, Jane's heart sank bit by bit.
Last night, Patrick received a call from Candice and rushed out like a maniac.
And early this morning, the two of them came to work together.
So... Patrick and Candice spent the whole night together?
What did they do?
Jane sarcastically curved her lips.
Hah.
A man and a woman alone in a room, what else could they do?
Especially when that person was Candy, whom Patrick had always longed for.
She even thought the words Patrick said to her last night had some truth.
How ironic!
From start to finish, Patrick's heart belonged only to Candy.
Then why did Patrick say those things to her last night?
What did he take her for?
With a cold face, Jane silently walked behind them, heading into the secretary's office.
There, she saw Candice sitting at her desk.
Jane walked straight over, looked down at Candice, and coldly said, "Candice, this is my seat. Please move."
