The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 908

Candice's emotions swirled as she anxiously muttered, "It's me."

Elio's breathing grew heavy. Overcome with nerves, he found himself speechless for a long moment. Unsure of why Candice had called, he waited for her to continue.

"Are you… free?" Candice asked timidly, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Yes, I'm free," Elio replied immediately.

"Could we meet and talk in person?"

"Of course," Elio responded without hesitation. He then added, "Where should we meet? I can come to pick you up."

Candice paused to think. Realizing that everywhere was crowded and they risked being seen, she decided on a safer approach. "You don't have to pick me up. I'll come to your place instead. I'll be there in half an hour."

"Alright," Elio replied.

Once she hung up, Candice rose to her feet, put on a mask, and stepped out of the public restroom.

…

Elio was sitting in his car en route to the airport. After ending the call, he firmly instructed, "Turn around and head back home."

"But Mr. Hoffis, the flight is about to depart," Sean said.

"Cancel the event. We're going home immediately," Elio commanded with unwavering seriousness.

Sean knew better than to argue further, especially after overhearing that the call was from Candice.

For Elio, missing a season launch event was negotiable—it could be canceled, postponed, or even skipped. However, missing any chance to see Candice was out of the question.

Sean rerouted and headed to Elio's villa.

…

Candice paused for a moment before responding, "Just water, please."

Elio fetched a glass of water and handed it to her. Candice accepted it with both hands and thanked him. After taking a sip, she set the glass on the coffee table.

Elio's concern deepened as he noticed Candice's anxious expression. He asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He took a seat on the armchair next to her.

Visibly flustered, Candice glanced around before asking, "Is anyone else in the house?"

Elio leaned forward, resting his elbow on his knee. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice softened as he reassured her. "No, it's just us here."

Candice then carefully reached into her pocket and pulled out a pregnancy test strip wrapped in tissue, which she handed to Elio.

Elio had a vacant look on his face as he gently unwrapped the tissue. He was momentarily stunned when he saw the test strip.

His expression tightened, his hands trembled slightly, and his voice took on a deeper tone. "What does this mean?"
