Edward and Candice Clarify Their Relationship

Candice remained silent for a long time because of what Chloe said. 

She had always thought that she and Edward could have no feelings for each other. It was very clear that they were together because of a political marriage, so they just had to treat each other with respect and accompany each other peacefully for the rest of their lives.

That was all she asked for, but was she asking too much of that marriage?

"Sis, I really didn't want to tell you, but I can't stand seeing you so stubborn. I'm afraid you'll get hurt in the end." Chloe calmed herself down a little and started to make herself seem like a good person again.

Chloe actually did not want to tell Candice so soon. She wanted to say it when Edward was around, so she could cause a conflict between them and then take advantage of the situation.
