"Things like that make me feel that I'm embarrassing myself." Candice's voice was clear and emotionless.
It was as if she was just stating a fact or she was telling someone else's story that did not affect her much. Edward, however, did not reply.
The quiet night was especially peaceful, and Candice did not say anything else.
All she needed was to state her thoughts clearly. As for whether Edward wanted to listen or do as she said… To be honest, she had no confidence he would and could not control it, so she would not force it.
She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
In her dreams, she felt someone hugging her tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her. She also seemed to hear a voice whispering in her ear, saying, "One day, you will hate me…"
She denied it or wanted to deny it, but she was too sleepy to open her eyes.
