Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 193: Are You Sure She's Candy?

This sudden kiss took Jane by surprise.

She stiffened, her mind momentarily blank.

After a few seconds, she finally reacted.

What was Patrick doing?!

They had already called off the engagement, and there was no connection between her and Patrick anymore. Why did he have the audacity to violate her like this?

With determination, Jane's teeth fiercely bit down on Patrick's lips. Accompanied by the metallic taste of blood, a sharp pain shot through the lip, causing Patrick to instinctively release Jane.

Jane's chest heaved violently, filled with shame and anger. She panted, saying, "Patrick, that's enough!"

Patrick's face turned an iron blue, and the chilling aura he emitted made people shiver.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

With furrowed brows, Patrick's handsome face tensed, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring intently at Jane.

Did she hate his touch so much?

Clearly, in the past, when they were together, she enjoyed him kissing her like this.

He only spoke after what felt like an eternity, his face cold, his voice deep, "Jane, are you really with Osborn?"

Jane furrowed her brows.

"Did you heartlessly break off the engagement because of Osborn?" Seeing Jane silent, Patrick's face grew colder.

Because of Osborn?

Heh, was Patrick playing the victim here?

Clearly, it was because of Candy!

Jane suddenly raised her eyes, meeting his icy gaze. "Patrick, please don't slander me and Osborn. Why I broke off the engagement, don't you understand it in your heart?"

“I don't understand!" Patrick's deep eyes were bottomless, anger rolling within. “Tell me, why?"

Today, he wanted to hear the answer from Jane's own mouth.

Jane sneered, "Since you pretend not to understand when you clearly do, fine, I'll make it clear for you."

Taking a deep breath, Jane stared into Patrick's eyes, continuing, "A long time ago, I told you that I have a cleanliness obsession with relationships. My future husband must love me wholeheartedly and only have me in his heart.

And you, obviously, you've always loved Candy."

"So, you canceled the engagement because of Candy?" Patrick raised an eyebrow, his mood suddenly improving.

Not because of Osborn, but because of Candy... Did this mean that Jane still cared about him?

"Yes." Jane nodded.

Patrick's gaze deepened, and he spoke in a low, deep voice, "So, if I say that Candy and I are not as you imagine, and there's nothing between us, will you come back to me?"

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Jane's lips curled with a hint of sarcasm. Patrick stared deeply at her. "Why wouldn't you believe it?"

"On the day of our engagement ceremony, on such an important day, you disappeared without considering my feelings, and I couldn't reach you.

I thought something had happened to you, went crazy looking for you, and what did I find?

You were with Candy.

Clearly, in your eyes, Candy is more important than me.

Or should I say, from beginning to end, the person you love is Candy. Since that's the case, this engagement, which shouldn't have existed in the first place, has even less reason to continue.”

Patrick squinted his eyes. "I did not disregard your feelings. That day, didn't I send you a message, telling you I'd pick you up later?"

A message?

Jane was taken aback.

When did he send her a message?

"I haven't seen any message,” Jane sarcastically remarked.

Patrick furrowed his brows. His phone had run out of battery that day, and it was Candy who sent the message.

Why hadn't Jane received it?

Where did things go wrong?

Seeing Patrick silent, Jane asked coldly, "Patrick, dare you say you haven't loved Candy for so many years? In your heart, the person you've been thinking about isn't Candy?"

"Jane, I don't deny that I have a special feeling for Candy, but it's not as you imagine,” Patrick carefully explained. He didn't know how to clarify things to Jane.

Indeed, Candy held a significant place in his heart.

He once thought that the Candy he had been searching for was the one he loved.

However, after meeting Jane, he was gradually attracted to her, and the emotional balance leaned toward Jane.

When he saw Candice again, he realized that he didn't have the same affectionate feeling for her. The person he wanted to spend his life with was still Jane.

It's just that Candy had saved him, and he wasn't the type to forget a debt of gratitude.

So, when Candy made various demands of him, he would agree without hesitation.

Jane bit her lip, silent.

Her heart, however, stirred slightly.

How much of Patrick's words could be believed?

“I've explained about Candy. Now, shouldn't you explain what your relationship with Osborn is?" Patrick's heart still felt tight when he thought about what he had seen downstairs.

Jane, however, answered with a question, "Patrick, can you be sure that Candice is Candy?"

"Of course," Patrick answered without hesitation.

"Why are you so sure?" Jane asked further.

Patrick's gaze carried a hint of inquiry. "Jane, what are you suspecting?"

Jane pursed her lips, about to speak, when suddenly Patrick's phone rang.

Patrick took out his phone from his pocket, looked down, and saw it was a call from Candice.

Seeing the constant blinking of "Candy" on the screen, Jane's face darkened.

Patrick's slender fingers pressed the answer button. "Candy?"

On the other end, Candice's voice came in a panic, "Paddy, save me! Hurry, save me!"

"Candy, what happened?" Patrick's tone involuntarily carried a trace of concern.

"Don't come over, ah... Paddy, help!" Candice's voice on the phone sounded tearful, as if she had encountered something terrifying. "Candy? Candy? What happened?” Patrick anxiously inquired. However, the call was abruptly disconnected.

Patrick called back, but no one answered.

"Jane, Candy might be in danger. I'll go check." Patrick looked at Jane with a serious expression.

Without waiting for Jane to respond, he walked straight to the door and left in large strides.

Watching Patrick hurriedly leave, Jane's heart sank bit by bit.

Just now, he said his feelings for Candice weren't as she imagined. But as soon as he received Candice's call, he rushed over like a madman.

Did that look like having no feelings?

The fact was right in front of her-Candice was more important to Patrick than she was.
