Chapter 313 Going Back to Snatch People

Chapter 313 Going Back to Snatch People

Caspian immediately nodded and replied, "Of course, Dad. Candy is our sister too, and we all care about her!"

None of them wanted to force Candice to do anything she didn't like.

However, everyone still felt somewhat bothered by how Brandon had hurt Candice back then.

Who could guarantee that once they got back together, he wouldn't bully Candice again?

So for now, if they could avoid it, they'd better try their best to do so.

The group discussing seriously didn't notice that Elijah was standing right at the stairway.

He had come down to get something he'd left behind, and unexpectedly overheard all this.

His little face immediately scrunched up.

Oh no, was Caspian planning to use Candice's birthday to arrange a blind date convention for her?

Brandon already didn't have much advantage, wouldn't this make things even more dangerous for him?

Elijah was worried sick. Even when he went back to his room to shower, he was distracted.

When Yasmin came out after her shower and saw his unhappy face, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Elijah and Yasmin shared everything, so he told her what he'd just overheard.

After listening, Yasmin didn't take it to heart. She waved her hand at him dismissively, "What's there to worry about? Don't worry, Mom definitely won't like any of them!"

She'd seen similar situations many times before. Up until now, what mattered most to Candice was family and work.

Only Brandon could make Candice spare a few extra emotions.

Elijah asked worriedly, "Are you sure? After all, there are so many excellent men. At least, I think that Tristan guy has pretty good credentials."

Yasmin patted his shoulder to comfort him, saying, "That's true, but Mom is oblivious. Tristan likes Mom, but she can't tell. She's always treated him like a brother. Besides, Mom's mind isn't on this stuff. Comparatively speaking, I think Dad still has a better chance. At least he gets to hold Mom's hand and kiss her. No one else has ever had that chance. Believe me, if it were anyone else, Mom would have kicked them out long ago."

Hearing her say this, Elijah thought it made some sense.

Indeed, Candice kept a polite but distant relationship with other men.

So no matter how much effort Caspian and the others put in, it would be futile.

However, in the long run, this didn't seem like a good thing either.

The more love rivals Brandon had, the more crises there would be.

What if Candice suddenly had an epiphany?

Thinking of this, Elijah still felt uneasy and immediately sent Brandon a message.

"Tonight I heard Uncle and the others saying they want to arrange a blind date convention for Mom on her birthday. Dad, you'll make it back in time, right?

If you can't make it back, then just watch as someone else steals Mom away."

The message was successfully sent, but Brandon didn't reply.

He had already boarded the plane.

By the time he saw Elijah's message, it was already over ten hours later.

Brandon had just gotten off the plane. Seeing this notification, his face darkened immediately, and he almost wanted to buy a ticket on the spot to fly back home.

Knox noticed Brandon's expression was off and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Brandon frowned, his mood very sour.

Because the Mortimer family's actions definitely weren't Candice's wish!

Brandon felt displeased, as if his wife was being coveted by others.

But those were Candice's family members, so no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't lash out.

Originally, he had planned to take it slow with the Mortimer family.

But now the Mortimer family's actions had inadvertently provoked Brandon's suppressed nature.

Brandon really wasn't suited for this kind of gentle approach.

His softened attitude toward the Mortimer family was because he had been at fault before.

But if they crossed the line, he couldn't help but show his true colors!

Brandon gave up the idea of returning home immediately. He gritted his teeth and instructed Knox, "Finish things here early. In half a month, we're going back home to snatch someone!"

Knox: What?

What's going on?

"Mr. Obelon, who are we going back home to snatch?"

"Mrs. Obelon, of course!" Brandon's tone wasn't pleasant.

Knox was completely confused. "Ms. Elikin is fine at home, isn't she? Why would we need to snatch her out of the blue? Please explain clearly so I can be prepared."

Knox hurried to catch up with Brandon's pace.

The two walked quickly. Brandon told Knox about the message Elijah had sent. "The Mortimer family is arranging a blind date convention for her."

Knox immediately understood.

"You mean you want to go to the blind date convention to snatch Ms. Elikin, right? Got it, I'll make the arrangements!"

Both father and son were anxious and worried about this event.

Candice, however, was completely unaware of all this.

After Brandon left, the two little ones continued going to school, and she resumed her work.

The research institute had a newly launched research project.

As the person in charge, Candice had a lot to handle and couldn't get off work on time to spend time with the kids for several days.

At the same time, news that the Mortimer family's young lady would be holding a birthday party soon spread quickly throughout Silverlight City.

Many people who received invitations had already prepared gifts in advance.

On Friday, Candice had just finished a data analysis when Qiana dragged her out at noon.

"You should at least take a break. Are you a robot or something, working all day every day?"

Qiana couldn't help but complain, then continued, "This afternoon, Sabrina and I are going to buy you a gift, and you're coming with us!"

Candice couldn't help but laugh. "Since this gift is for me, if I know about it in advance, will there still be any surprise?"

Qiana snorted lightly and said, "We'd love to hide it, but I live under the same roof as you every day, so there's no hiding it. Most importantly, this isn't just your birthday gift—it's also a gift for Elijah's return to the Mortimer family. We should prepare one for him too! What about you, will you give him a gift?"

"You're right. Elijah just came back. Even though you're Elijah's mom, this gift can't be skipped!"

Candice agreed without hesitation.

Elijah's return to the Mortimer family this time was significant.

She didn't care much about her own birthday, but this matter needed to be taken seriously.

Besides, although she was busy with the new project launch, the workload was actually manageable and the progress was going smoothly.

Because she'd worked overtime the past few days, her family was already unhappy and ordered her not to work so hard. Gabriel had even assigned her plenty of staff.

This greatly reduced Candice's workload.

Skipping an afternoon of work wouldn't delay the project.

Hearing her words, Qiana immediately linked arms with her and urged, "Then let's hurry! I came over as soon as I got off work and haven't eaten yet. Let's eat out. I just texted Sabrina, and she'll be here soon."
