The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 916

Candice dashed downstairs, positioning herself at the corner of the staircase, and called out to Elio's departing form, "Elio, let's get married!"

Her voice rang out clearly through the house.

The once lively living room fell silent in an instant as if struck by a bombshell. All eyes turned to Candice; shocked expressions etched on everyone's faces.

The entire household stood frozen in stunned silence.

Elio's body froze in place, trembling. Initially, he thought he misheard, but the collective astonishment confirmed the reality of Candice's words. His heart raced uncontrollably.

Turning to face Candice, Elio found her smiling sweetly, her eyes sparkling with joy, radiating a carefree demeanor as if she were a carefree child who could ignore everything as long as Elio liked her and wanted to marry her. She could bravely approach him.

Candice repeated, "Elio, let's get married."

Tears welled up in Elio's eyes. He mustered a light smile and nodded in agreement, declaring, "Yes."

The atmosphere in the living room shifted to solemnity.

Jasper rose to his feet. "I object. What does it mean for my uncle to marry my cousin?"

Gary grabbed Jasper's hand, pulling him back onto the couch. "Mind your own business. Their affairs are none of your concern," he scolded him in a hushed tone.

Deeply troubled, Jasper hurried to Candice's side and gazed at her. "Candice, are you joking with Uncle Elio? Your relationship seems distant and cold. How did this sudden decision come about? Weren't you supposed to marry Mervyn?"

Elio's expression grew somber as he approached Jasper, draping an arm around his neck and guiding him to the couch.

The tension in the room became palpable, hanging thick in the air.

"When did you start liking Candice? Why wasn't I informed?" Jasper pressed again.

Elio stayed quiet, his hand on the car door, indicating his intention to leave.

Jasper grabbed him again, holding back his departure. "If you two got married, what should I call you? Brother-in-law?"

Elio detested this topic of discussion.

He furrowed his brow as he replied calmly. "You can call me Uncle Elio and her as Candice. Or refer to me as your uncle and her as your cousin.

"Since we won't be interacting much in the future, there's no need to worry about how to address us."

Jasper smiled helplessly.
