Chapter 308 The Biggest Helper for Their Reconciliation

When Candice came downstairs after washing up, she found the house was quite lively today.

Sabrina's mother, Gwyneth Bourbon, had traveled in person, accompanied by Sabrina and Kieran, to express regret regarding the events of the previous evening.
After speaking, she even patted Sabrina, "It's all Sabrina's fault for being so restless, getting your Candy involved and almost causing something terrible! But Candy's injury, is it really nothing serious?"

Gwyneth was also fond of Candice, and she felt sincere concern over Candice's wound.
"Last night, Caspian said he checked and it's nothing serious."

Ainsley's tone was gentle, showing no displeasure. She even reassured Gwyneth, "Don't scold Sabrina. I'm happy that she's willing to hang out with Candy - how could I bear to blame her? Last night wasn't her fault either. Fortunately, it was just a close call and both of them are fine, which is the best outcome."

Upon hearing this, Gwyneth quietly let out a breath of relief.
The Talbot family and the Mortimer family had always been on good terms. The couple didn't want this incident to cause the Mortimer family to have a bad opinion of them.

Seeing that Ainsley was still defending Sabrina, Gwyneth smiled and said, "Yes, indeed just a close call! Safe and sound is what matters most."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but complain about Sabrina again, "Sabrina doesn't take anything seriously all day long. If only she could be as well-behaved as Candy, I could finally relax."

Candice happened to be descending the staircase. She overheard the remark and responded with a smile, "Mrs. Talbot, Sabrina is perfectly fine as she already is." Staying passionate and enthusiastic about what she loves is a good thing."

Gwyneth sighed, "It's just that I've been too lenient with her, which is why she keeps doing such dangerous things. I worry about her all day long."

Ainsley understood her feelings, but at this moment, she still tried to comfort her, "The kids have grown up and have their own thoughts and lives. If we can't control them, let's just support what they want to do."

Gwyneth didn't disagree with this.

After all, the Mortimer couple was indeed very open-minded.

Their household represented a lineage of medical professionals, and it was expected that all the Mortimer offspring would carry on the family legacy.
But Caspian wanted to run the company, Finnegan wanted to be a lawyer, and even Ulysses rebelliously went off to become a celebrity.

In the end, it was Candice, who had only been brought back a few years ago, who turned out to be exceptionally skilled in medicine.

Within the realm of medicine, she possessed her own perspectives and understandings, continuing the family's legacy.
Before this, the Mortimer couple had never expected that Candice, when found and brought back, would love medicine. Even knowing that no one might take over the family tradition, they never forced their three sons to live according to their requirements.

Having chosen their own preferred careers, the three Mortimer sons also shone in their respective fields, achieving successful careers and becoming top figures in their industries.

This attracted the jealousy of numerous individuals living in Silverlight City.
After apologizing and giving gifts, Gwyneth had other matters to attend to, so she didn't stay long at the Mortimer family home. She soon said goodbye to Ainsley and left with her two children.

Right before departing, Sabrina gave Candice and Qiana a wink and mimed a telephone with her hand, indicating that she would reach out to them later.
Her playful manner made everyone in the Mortimer family laugh.

After seeing them off, Ainsley couldn't help but say, "Sabrina is still so mischievous and clever."

Gabriel also couldn't help but smile, saying, "After all, she's been 'notorious' since childhood. The title of Silverlight City's little tyrant isn't for nothing."

Right before departing, Sabrina gave Candice and Qiana a wink and mimed a telephone with her hand, indicating that she would reach out to them later.
Caspian spoke up calmly from the side, "It's good that she can hang out with Candy, but they're all dangerous activities."

He clearly didn't quite approve.

Finnegan also offered a remark, "That is indeed rather unusual."
His personality had always been steady, and being in the legal profession, certain disciplines were ingrained in him, making him relatively strict.

Compared to someone like Sabrina, they were complete opposites.

Usually, he looked at Sabrina like looking at a younger sister.

Yet, the sort of sister who is playful and naughty.
Hearing his two sons' words, Gabriel smiled and said, "It's cute when girls are lively."

Then he looked at Candice, "Of course, our Candy is the cutest! Not only well-behaved but also sensible - she's our most precious treasure!"

After listening to this, Candice let out a laugh.
She knew Gabriel was worried she might feel jealous.

But Yasmin was a bit unhappy.

She asked discontentedly, "Grandpa, am I not cute then?"

She deliberately pouted, puffing up her little face with an expression that said 'why aren't you praising me?'

Gabriel's heart melted at the sight, and he quickly hugged her to comfort her, "Cute! How could our Yasmin not be cute? You're the world's number one cutest little girl!"

Yasmin scoffed and said, "That's better."
The family chatted and laughed, and Qiana was infected by the atmosphere, laughing along with them.

However, she had some business to handle first, so she greeted everyone and prepared to go out.

Hearing this, Ainsley said, "Let the driver take you, it'll be more convenient."

"No need, it's not far. I can manage on my own."

Qiana politely declined her offer.

Caspian asked her, "Are you going to the Collins Group branch office?"

"Yes!"

Qiana nodded.

Caspian stood up, adjusted his sleeves, and said casually, "Well then, I'm going to the Mortimer Group and will pass by there. I'll give you a ride."

Qiana, who had recently turned down Ainsley, perked up upon hearing what Caspian said.
She couldn't have asked for more.

She smiled so much her eyes curved into crescents, saying, "Then thank you, Caspian!"

Caspian nodded and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Candice, "Candy, when you go out today, let me know and I'll make arrangements."

Hearing this, Gabriel couldn't help but wonder, "Candy is going out today? What for? Your head is still injured."

Candice pursed her lips and explained, "The cut on my forehead is nearly fully recovered, with just a small part remaining—it's no big deal. As for today..."
She hesitated, wondering how to explain it better.

Caspian had already answered for her.

He told Gabriel directly, "Candy is going to see Brandon."

Hearing Caspian speak, Elijah immediately chimed in with his sweet childlike voice, saying, "Daddy is coming to see me and Yasmin. He's leaving tonight."

Gabriel's slight disapproval, which had just risen, immediately dissipated after hearing Elijah's words.

"Then go see him."

Ainsley also raised no objection.
Because the two little ones looked very happy.

After all, Elijah had lived in the Obelon family for so many years. He had deep feelings for Brandon, just like Yasmin usually liked to cling to Candice.

Seeing that his parents had no major objections, Caspian said, "I'll check my schedule this afternoon. If I have time, I'll go with you."

Candice knew that Caspian was preventing her from seeing Brandon alone.

Just as she was about to respond, Yasmin spoke up, saying, "Uncle Caspian, you're so busy, you should focus on work. Uncle Ulysses will be back soon. We can have Uncle Ulysses come with us!

I haven't seen Uncle Ulysses for so many days. He's finally coming back, and I miss him. We want to go to Happy Valley today - we didn't get to go the other day."

Hearing Yasmin's rambling plans, Caspian raised his eyebrows, thinking it wasn't a bad idea.

Having Ulysses keep an eye on things was preferable to using security personnel.
Caspian agreed, "Then let Ulysses go with you."

Seeing Yasmin so enthusiastic, Candice didn't think much of it, assuming she really missed Ulysses.

She completely overlooked that Yasmin was cleverly winking at Elijah.

The two little ones had a complete 'we've got a plan' look about them.

They were the biggest supporters of Brandon and Candice's relationship!

Caspian and Qiana soon left, and Finnegan also left first as he had matters at the law firm in the morning.

Shortly after they departed, Ulysses showed up.
He had finished filming two episodes of a variety show and had a few days off, so he rushed home early in the morning.

It was rare for him to come back. As soon as he entered, he gave Gabriel and Ainsley big hugs.

"Father, Mother, have you been thinking of me!"
"It's not your first day working away from home. What's there to miss?"

Gabriel acted disdainful on the surface, but his stern features were now smiling.

Ulysses was frequently absent throughout the year due to his job.
Sometimes when the crew was in closed filming, there'd be no news for several months.

Gabriel said dismissive words, but in his heart, he did miss Ulysses.

After the hug, this tender moment ended.

Gabriel started shooing him away, "Alright, men shouldn't be so clingy. Go put your luggage away and take Candice and the others out to eat. Keep a good eye on them."

"Got it!"

Ulysses readily agreed.

He still didn't know that Candice and the others were going to meet up with Brandon first.
