Overwhelmed by the Billionaire’s Persistent Pursuit

Chapter 237: Plus, she desperately wanted to regain her family's home. However, accepting his offer would mean being tied to him for twelve years. Candice was left wondering how she could possibly navigate such a situation. Milton noticed Candice's hesitation and suggested, "Why don't you take the key first? Take a few days to think about it. If you decide not to accept it, you can return the key to me then." The driver had already opened the door, and Candice stepped out of the car. Milton gave the driver a nod, and the door quickly closed. The Bentley sped away.

Candice stood on the side of the road, trying to make sense of what had just happened. Milton had left, leaving her alone with the key. As she held the key, its unfamiliar texture sent complex shivers down her spine. Meanwhile, in the Bentley, Milton gave a curt order. "Jarrod, it's your job to secretly protect her from now on. If you notice anything unusual or if she behaves strangely, report back to me immediately." Jarrod Myers was not just a driver but also a highly skilled bodyguard with excellent karate and shooting skills.

He knew he had what it took to protect Candice and was more than ready for the job. Milton himself was no slouch when it came to martial arts, so Jarrod knew he wouldn't be called upon to act in ordinary situations. Nevertheless, he was happy to help his boss in any way he could. "Of course, Mr. Lopez," Jarrod replied respectfully, stealing a glance at the rearview mirror. He couldn't help but think that Milton had fallen for Candice. "Where to now, sir? Should we head home?" Jarrod asked. "No, we're going to my private doctor's house," Milton replied, rubbing his forehead.

He needed to get his arm wound treated to avoid any scarring. He thought back to Candice's subtle expressions from earlier that night. His lips curled slightly. He'd succeeded in changing her attitude towards him. He was sure she hated him much less than before. Milton couldn't shake the feeling that Candice was not as heartless as she appeared to be. There had to be something more going on beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Candice returned home and collapsed onto her bed. She couldn't believe how unreasonable Greyson had become. He had embarrassed her in front of two other men.

She had dreamed of returning to her childhood home for three long years. It was where she had grown up with her parents and made countless beautiful memories. Candice looked around the apartment, decorated in cold, impersonal colors. It was Greyson's place, and it never felt like home to her. She ran her fingers through her hair irritably.

She had to admit that Milton had successfully tempted her to move away. She just couldn't bear to stay in a place that belonged to Greyson any longer. . . .
