The wrong Woman novel by Ginny Not Genie novel Chapter 949

"I truly love you and want to marry you," Candice said earnestly.

Overcome with excitement, Elio was momentarily speechless. He gently cradled the back of her head and leaned in to kiss her deeply and passionately. His other arm wrapped tightly around her waist, pulling her close as if trying to meld her into his very being.

While they were kissing in the kitchen, Jasper entered the living room, scanning around. As he approached the kitchen door and saw what was inside, he spun around, his cheeks reddening with embarrassment. "Uncle Elio!" he called out.

Startled by Jasper's voice, Candice's face flushed as she hurriedly pushed Elio away. She gasped for breath before saying, "That was Jasper's voice."

Reluctant to break the moment, Elio murmured breathlessly, "Just ignore him."

"We can't," Candice said, placing her hands on Elio's chest and firmly pushing him back.

With a sigh, Elio finally let her go.

Candice hurried out of the kitchen into the living room. As she spotted Jasper's knowing smile and teasing gaze, a wave of embarrassment washed over her.

"Why are you here, Jasper?" Candice asked, settling onto the couch.

Jasper leaned back against the couch with a casual air. "Just checking in to see how you're settling in," he replied.

Candice offered a faint smile. "I'm settling in well."

"That's good to know," Jasper responded earnestly. "My mom's on my back to make sure you and Uncle Elio tie the knot without hiccups."

Candice furrowed her brows in confusion.

Jasper chuckled and continued, "My mom wants me to take you back to visit Grandma Michaela tomorrow to talk about the wedding."

Candice turned with an anxious look on her face.

Elio emerged from the kitchen with a few dishes and set them on the dining table. Catching Jasper's words, he approached and said casually, "Tomorrow isn't the right time."

"Uncle Elio, you can't keep avoiding this. Sooner or later, Candice has to meet your parents," Jasper replied with a displeased tone.

"It represents the coming together of two families. You need your parents to accept Candice for this marriage to work."

Candice appreciated Jasper's well-meaning advice. She knew that without Elio's parent's blessings, their marriage would feel incomplete and obstacles would litter their path ahead.

She turned to Elio and said earnestly, "Elio, Jasper's right. We need your parents' approval before we proceed with marriage."

Elio slapped his forehead and replied despondently, "They'll never agree."

"Then, we'll put the wedding on hold," Candice said.

Elio's face fell, his gaze fixed on her in disbelief. Unspoken fear flooded his eyes, and his voice shook as he uttered, "Candice…"

After some thought, Candice said, "I want to return home with you and live with your parents until they come around and accept our marriage. Only then will we tie the knot."

Jasper clapped his hands enthusiastically. "That's an excellent idea! I agree."
