My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s)

Chapter 0563

Ellis didn't have any jet lag. She had slept a lot on the plane and had been asleep in Yana's car, so she was now full of energy. As soon as she heard the phone ringing, her attention was immediately drawn to it.

Candice answered the video call. Alex stood on the balcony, surrounded by darkness.

After a pause, she spoke first, "Is there something wrong that you're calling at this late hour?"

"Yeah, there is," he answered.

Candice looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I kinda miss you and Ellis," he said.

Before Candice could respond, Ellis on the side began to fidget.

The little girl was very clever now. As soon as she heard someone calling her, she immediately leaned over to take a look. She stared eagerly at Candice's phone and reached out to grab it.

Since Candice didn't know what to say to Alex, she simply handed the phone to Ellis. "I'm going to take a shower. Keep an eye on her."

Alex looked at her with a serious expression, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Okay."

Candice turned and left. She could hear Ellis chatting with Alex behind her, and Alex patiently accompanied her. The father and daughter seemed to get along harmoniously.

When Candice returned after washing up, she found Ellis had already fallen asleep on the bed, with the phone screen still lit beside her.

Candice was about to turn it off when Alex's voice came through, sounding maic and low. "Don't hang up."

Candice glanced at Ellis and went to the balcony with the phone. It was sunny on her side, and the weather was very nice today. Candice leaned against the railing, letting the breeze blow through her semi-dried hair.

Alex said, "It took me a while to coax her to sleep."

Candice asked, "How did you coax her?"

"I read her some Ecuni versions of Stray Bird's collection poems," he said, then looked at her for a moment before continuing, "Jet lag is quite exhausting. You can take the opportunity to rest a bit, or else she'll wake up and start fussing again."

At that moment, she realized that he had coaxed Ellis to sleep just to let her rest properly.

However, Candice was tired herself, so she decided to hang up and go to sleep. But she remembered about Sonia and decided to tell Alex. "I ran into Sonia at lunch. She's working as a waitress at a restaurant."

Alex frowned slightly.

Candice calmly said, "If you want to go find her, I can send you the address."

Before she finished speaking, he

asked, "So, have you had lunch? If you're not in a good mood, does that mean you haven't eaten lunch?" He furrowed his brow slightly, his tone becoming somewhat serious. "I'll order you a meal."

She was speechless for a moment. Then, she said, "No need, I've already eaten. She doesn't affect me." "Candice, I..."

Alex seemed to want to say something else, but Candice interrupted him. "I'm going to sleep."

Without giving him time to react, she hung up the phone directly.

It took her two days to adjust to the jet lag. When Yana came to pick her up, she was in a hurry, "Let's go, hurry up and come to my company with me. I really need you."

Candice was surprised, "Is your company ready?"

"Not yet," Yana said confidently. "I just got the venue ready and even named it, but the specifics are still up in the air."

If Candice went, she would definitely

have to take Ellis with her. At this

moment, Yana seemed a bit

annoyed with her precious

goddaughter, "How come Ellis is still so big but can't take care of herself?"

Candice said, "Don't say these things in front of her. She holds grudges now."

Yana didn't believe it. She reached out to pinch Ellis's cheek, "You still hold grudges? What grudges do you hold? Am usually unkind to you? I'm just borrowing your mommy for a while. Are you holding a grudge against me?"

S

Ellis opened her mouth as if to bite Yana, looking unhappy.

Unable to coax Ellis, Yana had no choice but to entertain her throughout the meal. In the end, she had no choice but to ask Candice how she usually coaxed her.

Candice thought for a moment. "Alex would tell her stories."

Yana looked at her, and Candice suddenly realized what she had said. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Yana stared at her and shook her head. In the end, she just sighed, "Let me take you back to the hotel."

Candice lowered her head and left with Ellis. But for some reason, Ellis seemed listless today.

After returning to the hotel, she insisted on video calling Alex. When no one answered, she became upset again. It took Candice a lot of effort to coax her to sleep again.

But as soon as Ellis fell asleep, Candice found herself staring at her phone absentmindedly. When she snapped out of it, she realized she had already opened the chat box with Alex.

She realized what she had done, collected her thoughts, closed WhatsApp, turned off her phone, and went to sleep.

But her sleep was unusually deep, and without setting an alarm, she woke up half an hour later to the sound of knocking at the door.
