The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 899

It was already past 8:00 pm after dinner, and Candice had enjoyed some fruit. She felt somewhat uneasy being alone in the vast house with only Elio.

After checking the time, she stood up and said, "It's getting late. I should head back."

Seeming flustered, Elio quickly rose and grabbed her wrist. His voice sounded urgent as he called her name. "Candice."

She turned to face him. His eyes sparkled with anticipation as he added, "Just stay a little longer. It's not even 9:00 pm yet. There's no rush."

Candice couldn't bring herself to reject him. She felt a tug at her heartstrings as the man she had feelings for persuaded her to stay. With no resistance, she settled back into her seat and meekly agreed, "Okay."

Concerned she might get bored, Elio suggested, "Would you like to watch some TV or maybe a movie?"

After a brief hesitation, Candice asked, "How about an animated movie?"

Elio paused for a moment before responding eagerly, "Sure, which one do you want to watch?"

He didn't think Candice was childish. Instead, he found her endearing and possessing a genuine innocence reminiscent of a child.

He didn't mind watching an animated film if it made her happy. He wouldn't feel bored no matter what they did as long as they were together.

After some thought, Candice replied, "Anything's fine. Just pick a romantic animated movie."

Elio was unfamiliar with movies. He seldom watched TV or films and never watched any animated movies. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.

Concerned his choice might not hold her interest, he quickly pulled out his phone and texted Sean. "I need the best romantic animated movie right now. It has to be the best."

Candice blushed bright red. She grabbed her bag, hung her head low in embarrassment, and murmured, "I'm heading home now."

Elio jumped to his feet. He caught up with her and gripped her hand. "Candice, I'm sorry. I had no idea it would turn out like this. I-I'm so sorry."

Candice was too shy to meet his gaze as she replied, "It's fine. You don't have to apologize. The movie was great. It's just not something I usually watch."

Sounding desperate, Elio explained, "I don't watch those either. Sean sent it to me. Please don't misunderstand. I'm not someone driven by lust."

Candice paused for a few seconds, then shyly lifted her eyes to meet his anxious gaze, asking, "If you're not driven by lust, how do you explain our night together during your business trip?"

"I…" Elio stammered. He was left speechless by her question.
