When Candice returned to the room, Edward was already up and had gotten changed. Hence, she walked up to him naturally, took the tie from him, and helped him tie it seriously.
Edward just looked at her with his gentle gaze, seemingly enjoying the way Candice cared for him.
"Edward." Candice asked as she tied his tie, "When did you fall in love with me?"
Edward was stunned.
He panicked a little, but he instantly returned to normal. He said, "How did you find out that I like you?"
Candice was speechless. She was not so stupid as to not realize his love for her.
"I started to like you when you liked me. The feelings are mutual." He did not answer the question directly.
Once Edward was ready, he went downstairs.
Candice, on the other hand, would usually lie in bed for a while and wait for Paige to wake her up. Hence, she stared at the ceiling in a daze, wondering how Edward fell for her, and his feelings for her were very intense.
