    That was great! I didn’ even comment on chapter 3 and 4, because I wanted to read on.
    Finally, one of them figured out the other’s feelings. Go Albert!!

    Looking forward to the next chapter

    Hi Ms Puddle, just wanted to drop by to say hi. Just thinking of you! Hope you have a nice day as well as the rest of you ladies 😀 😉

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Thanks Evelyn!! You’re so kind! 😀

      I wish you a wonderful day as well my friend! Just so you know, the new chapter is almost ready. I’ve been quiet because I didn’t have much time to write 😉

      • Evelyn says:

        That’s great and look forward to reading your next chapter!! But I just simply wanted to say hi 😉 I know you are busy. Me too with kids ending their school year tomorrow and starting their summer vacation! Well, take care and speak soon 😉

        • Ms Puddle says:

          Take care, my friend! Looks like you’re going to be even busier when summer vacation begins! 😀

    Very nice and clever, Ms Puddle!! Love the winding and interesting turns the story is taking between Candy and Albert, as well as Darren’s imagination flying off the handle to justify what he had just seen in the garden between Candy and Albert. hummm! Is logical that Darren would think something of that nature about Albert but he couldn’t be more wrong about him!! (my poor Albert! :/ ) But Darren is smart to question why are those people jealous of her? and certainly I’d imagine that C&A’s relationship must have been one that no one dared to speak out openly about. At least I’m happy to know that Darren realizes that Candy has feeling for Albert… what ever they may be 😉

    I love that in this chapter you give Albert such a beautiful human side with conflicting feelings and emotions flooding his mind and heart. That is is not perfect and he also struggles with that internal battle normal people go through. Candy is in the same boat! I utterly loved when their gaze met and locked. Aaaaah!! so romantic. Yes Albert! It’s no illusion! She does desire you…go for it before Madam Elroy tries to marry Candy off to anyone 😉

    My second favorite part is when Albert is lost in his thoughts overlooking Miami Beach reliving and analyzing everything that had happened between them. Trying to make sense of her mood swings and body language when they were together in the garden!! Just love it!

    Muchas gracias, Ms Puddle for this wonderful chapter! Lol! 😀

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Hola dear Evelyn! Many thanks for your compliments! 😀 Glad you welcomed the twists and turns in the story. In a sense, it’s gratifying to read that some of you found Darren’s reaction unexpected though reasonable. You’re absolutely right, Evelyn, that people wouldn’t talk about C&A’s relationship openly. Nobody wanted to offend the powerful man directly. 😉 Also, yes, Darren as an outsider had no troubles seeing that Candy had romantic feelings for her legal guardian. He was in denial though because he was unaware of her history with Sir William. 😉

      Thanks Evelyn for your encouraging words about my descriptions of Albert’s internal struggles, which were clear from the manga the moment he had decided to leave the House of Magnolia after hiding his recovery from Candy for months. Sigh… Like Candy, he had suffered from unrequited love, for so long that he doubted that Candy really desired him as a man. I’m happy you enjoyed reading this part too, my friend!

      I put lots of effort writing the last scene when Albert tried to analyze Candy’s body language, outbursts and mood swings. It means so much to me that this is your second favorite part of the chapter! Merci beaucoup, mon amie (I know you can read French too!) 😀 😉 🙂

      • Evelyn says:

        Oui je peux lire français pour la plupart, Ms Puddle, but not perfect by all means!! 🙂

        Yes, I really love both scenes at the garden and Albert pondering Candy’s body language, outbursts and mood swings! Very emotional chapter and both scenes tie together perfectly and they need to be because now there is a door for Albert to make his move, right? 😉 😀

        Yes, Darren is an outsider and his first impression was like “What?” but he doesn’t know that Albert did not raise Candy as a daughter or that they did not have a father/daughter relationship since her youth…that would be weird for sure. While amnesic, he completely forgot of her existence and got to know her from scratch. Same for Candy, she knew him as Albert only, not as her guardian. Is really just a piece of paper that puts them in this awkward dilema 🙁 sigh!

        You know, I never really thought about Albert suffering from unrequited love but yes you are correct! He did but kept quiet like a gentlemen. We do see him serious in a few scenes pondering about Candy’s feelings. Also, Candy toward the end of the manga, when she was suffering and missing him dearly, I guess you can say that was her unrequited love also.

        So yes, you exemplify beautifully both of our wonderful lover’s feelings here!! 😀 Can’t wait to read what happens next my dear friend!! 😀 🙂

        • Ms Puddle says:

          Merci, Evelyn! I’m sure your French is much better than mine. I only took one beginner course in French many years ago… LOL!

          Anyway, I always believe that Albert wouldn’t have confessed being Candy’s prince if he hadn’t sensed her romantic feelings for him. She could easily be the worst detective in the world, and he could have kept this secret forever buried in his heart. Don’t you think? 😉

          You’re so right about Darren. He had no idea, so he blamed it all on the rich handsome man whom he was jealous of. 😛

          Yes, it was mainly the piece of paper that put Albert and Candy in an awkward situation, and ever since his recovery from amnesia, Albert had suffered from unrequited love. At the same time, Candy’s strong feelings for Terry had been an obstacle too. I believe it had remained a sensitive subject between A & C until after the return of the diary in CCFS. 😉

          Once again, thank you very much for your eager support and positive feedback, dear Evelyn!! 😀

          • Evelyn says:

            Yes, Ms Puddle. I agree with you that Albert would not have confessed to be Candy’s prince unless he strongly believed that Candy would reciprocate his love. 🙂 otherwise there is no point for him to put himself in an awkward and possibly embarrassing position with her!! So yes he’d have to know she had romantic feelings toward him!! Yeah!! 😉

            Yes Candy’s strong feelings and obsession for Terry prevented her from realizing sooner that she loved Albert. Not until she lost him she was able to appreciate him and even realize that she loved him, I believe. Although her feelings for him we’re not quite defined in her heart until they starting corresponding. Sigh!
            Always a pleasure to speak with you and share our thoughts!! Sorry for my long post and thank you for your time dear friend!!! 🙂

            • Ms Puddle says:

              Yes dear Evelyn! I totally agree with you about that. Otherwise, their relationship would have been awkward if not embarrassing! 😉

              About writing letters to each other, I also think the ones shown in CCFS epilogue were only some of them. Before the revelation, they were keeping in touch somehow. I don’t think Albert visited Pony’s Home that often. I’ll explain more later. 🙂

              Why sorry, my friend? I enjoy reading your thoughts too, so please feel free! 😀

          • Evelyn says:

            By the way, you only took one beginner French course a while back? Your French seems to serve you well, Ms Puddle communicating with our French speaking friends!! 😀 I went to a bilingual Spanish/French school from Kindergarten through fifth grade when I was a little girl, and since then I have not spoken it or practiced it until I met you all in this blog where i can brush up on my French! I feel more comfortable reading it than speaking it though 🙂 Have a wonderful evening my friend! 😛

            • Ms Puddle says:

              Dear Evelyn, I’ve used Google translator of course, which is not too bad. But I’m able to pick up some keywords from time to time. 🙂

  4. Antlay says:

    A great and beautiful chapter Ms Puddle ! 🙂

    I like the way you described this moment between them, that seems so real like I was myself in the garden watching them.
    It is so romantic and touching.
    And the gossips, poor Candy. In those days, a woman and a man unmarried was inconceivable. 🙁

    Finally they realized they fell in love each other.
    I thought, they were going to kiss, but let’s not get greedy ! You also decided us to simmer ! Lol 😀

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Bonjour, Antlay, mon amie!!

      Thanks again for writing in English! 🙂

      I’m so glad you like the garden scene, and merci beaucoup!! I want them to have some time alone, though it wasn’t the best place and time. I’m happy you found it romantic and touching! Your words put a big smile on my face! 😀

      About the gossips, people in the high society had too much free time and imagination lol… But they had lived together for so long, and both were very good looking, so it’s unavoidable. 😛

      Yes, Antlay, patience is a virtue! 😉 But Agnès did a great job writing that scene. It’s unbeatable! 😛

      • Agnès says:

        Aww Ms Puddle, thank you so much for your compliment, I don’t know if I deserve it but, I’m blushing right now. You’ve made my day, my friend! 😀

        • Ms Puddle says:

          Of course you deserve it, Agnès!! How I wish I could read French… Sigh!! 😉

          • Antlay says:

            Right Ms Puddle, “All things come to him who waits” 😉
            Yes Agnès has described very well the scène. We’ve had a lot of fun with Agnès and Vera Garcia 😀
            I’m sure one day you will be able to read french, you seem gifted for languages, Ms Puddle ! 🙂

            • Ms Puddle says:

              I don’t think I can… Antlay! I just use the translator when reading French ;). It’s a very difficult language I must say! 🙂

          • Antlay says:

            This is not worse than Japanese or Chinese ! 😉

          • Evelyn says:

            Hey Ladies! I’m with you Antlay, is not any worse than Japanese or Chinese! It’s a completely different alphabet! Yikes!! I think we all use the translator including myself 😉 And yes, Ms Puddle, if you are able to learn Japanese you really are gifted with languages!
            By the way Antlay, I didn’t know you spoke such perfect English! Go girl! 😀

            • Ms Puddle says:

              Dear Evelyn, I learned Japanese when I was around grades 6 and 7. Very young then. That’s why! 😉
              Yes, Antlay’s English is very good! 🙂

          • Antlay says:

            Hello Evelyn
            It’s very nice, thank you, but I still make a lot of mistakes but I’m making progress 🙁

          • Evelyn says:

            Well that makes total sense, Ms Puddle. If you are exposed to a language when you’re young most likely you will be able to recognize it and continue learning it later on because the foundation is already there. 🙂

            Yes Antlay! Don’t be too modest 😉 you’re doing great. If I tried speaking fluid French to you right now without the translator I would sound funny! 🙂

          • Antlay says:

            It’s easier to read than to write 🙁 but thanks to both of you 🙂

            • Ms Puddle says:

              To me, it’s easier to read Japanese than to write. No worries, Antlay! Good for you to try 😀 *clap clap clap*

          • Antlay says:

            I just wake up,, thank you for you compliment Ms Puddle, you’ve made my day.
            Good night. 🙂

  5. Reeka says:

    Finally!! Finally they see some light giving hope of being reciprocated. Phew …

    I like Darren. He likes Candy a lot and of course he feels a bit jealous on seeing such intimate scene between the blondes. For him having a doubt on Albert’s intention toward Candy is very reasonable to me. Living among those high society’s elites, Darren must be aware that people commonly do good things with hidden agenda. Sincerity is a rare virtue for businessman, and William Albert Andrew is not any regular businessman. I just hope that this character, Darren, is not letting me down at the end of the story. Please be nice to him, my friend! 🙂

    Echoing some comments before me, the scene between Candy and Albert in the garden was so beautiful, it makes our imagination wander and I couldn’t help feeling romantic. 🙂 I imagine the strong attraction between them and how they’re longing for a touch, a kiss, a love declaration. Sigh. Too bad they’re not at the right place and situation. I really like the moment Albert lightly touched Candy’s curly hair and slipped it behind her ear. It’s like he really couldn’t help himself and that simple action was the least he could do.

    So, I guess … this story won’t fully follow CCFS, right? As you said you intended to make this story short and it won’t touch the return of the diary’s scene, you won’t be that cruel to leave the story ended without our couple being together .. right? Right, my friend? 🙂

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Dear Reeka, I strongly believe one can feel the emotions through a loving touch, let alone a loving hug! 😉 Albert couldn’t suppress himself anymore while holding Candy in his arms, and actions speak louder than words, right? 😛

      So Candy felt something about him. Though she was unsure, she had hopes now. Does this make sense to you?

      Glad you like my character Darren and found his reactions reasonable. Of course I created him for a purpose, so please stay tuned, my friend! 😉

      About the scene in the garden, your encouraging words mean a lot to me. Thank you! 😀 Mutual attraction was there, and they both felt it. From reading CCFS, I felt that ever since Candy discovered Albert’s true identity, they hadn’t had much time to be alone with each other anymore. Therefore, to Albert, he had never seen Candy’s feelings for him. It was natural he had doubts.

      Reeka, you got it! Albert couldn’t help touching Candy, but at the same time his upbringing had refrained him from doing more than that. I like this moment the most myself.

      I don’t give spoilers, my friend. You know me, right? 😉 😛

  6. Quevivacandy says:

    Hello Dear MsPuddle! What a pleasure to read another great chapter! I am so delighted that Candy has decided not to tell him good bye for good… fiu… lol… and also we can see the first signs of their love, oh, that moment when their glances were locked, it was perfect for a kiss, but I know. He thought he might be dreaming and his gentlemanliness came first, that among other things… what a shame… lol…

    Love the way you described their feelings and how Albert is beginning to sense Candy’s feelings for him. I’m reading a fairy tale… sigh…

    Also, it is a shame that Darren had misundertood Albert intentions but again, the rumours took part on it even if he didn’t want to pay attention to them. To have witnessed that emotive hug plus the gossips, grrr… I don’t like Neil at all, he was so vile to have spread those things… grrr….

    Anyway, thanks for take your time to write this beautiful chapter. Looking forward for the next one. 🙂

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Hola QuevivaCandy!! I wanted to publish your translated post, but I realized this chapter was almost ready to go, so I switched the order. 😉

      Yes, my friend, I know my readers would be disappointed just like Candy lol! But think about it, Candy had never looked at Albert that way, so it was natural he had doubts. 😛

      Glad you found this chapter a pleasure to read, and I wanted to show that Albert and Candy both began to feel something and yet unsure of each other at this stage. 😉

      About Neil, he wasn’t the one who started the rumors, but he was the one who pointed out the evidence that they had lived together, as shown in the manga. 🙂 I’m not sure if this also happened in CCFS though. About the dirty gossips, they were mainly my imagination. 😛

      Darren thought Sir William was at fault… Yes, because Darren was jealous 😉

  7. Vera García says:

    Ms Puddle
    Un saludo cordial, le felicito por tan bello capítulo Usted tiene una forma tan bella de describir los sentimientos que hace que los lectores nos quedemos atrapados en tan emocionante, conmovedora, apasionante historia(por mencionar algunos adjetivos) en este capítulo ha reafirmado el concepto de que el verdadero amor implica tanto y a veces es tan difícil de expresarlo cuando se tienen tantos temores. Pero al menos Candy y Albert ya hicieron más conscientes sus sentimientos y han vislumbrado aunque no de manera muy clara los sentimientos del otro.

    Es lamentable que Darren se apresurara ha formar una idea errónea sobre Albert esperamos que con el avance de la historia se de cuenta de la calidad humana de Albert.

    En espera paciente del siguiente capítulo su lectora y amiga fiel Vera.

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Hola Vera! It’s so encouraging to have a faithful reader like you, my friend! Muchas gracias por leer! Glad you like my descriptions of the relationship between Albert and Candy, and yes, Darren jumped to conclusions. 😉 Thanks again for your compliments, Vera!

  8. Tiny 12 says:

    I enjoyed this chapter , i thought that albert was going to kiss candy when he tucked her stray hair behind her ear!!!!

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Hola Tiny 12!! I didn’t specifically write that out because I decided to let my readers imagine what could have happened 😉

      Thanks for reading! 😀

  9. Agnès says:

    Oh Ms Puddle, I just read your new brillant chapter, so touching! I held my breath during Candy and Albert’s talk. You describe so perfectly well their feelings. You have a real talent. Thank you for making us dream!
    Albert was on the verge to kiss her, but as a true gentleman didn’t want to take advantage on her overwhelmed feelings, right? At least he begun to understand his feelings for her were reciprocated and the same for her, good! 😀

    He wants to go with her to Pony’s home, will he tell her he was her POTH? 😉

    For the gossips it makes sense to me. She lived more than two years with an adult male! Gossips and critics were unavoidable! Sigh!

    And Darren, he misunderstood Albert’s intention for Candy! Apparently he really fell for her and he won’t take his father’s advice, will he?

    I’m looking forward to read the next chapter! 😉

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Bonjour Agnès! You’re probably sleeping now, but many thanks for reading the new chapter before your bedtime! I appreciate it, especially you write very touching scenes yourself!!! 🙂 Yes, Darren wouldn’t give up Candy easily, and you’re right, he totally misunderstood Sir William’s person. 😛

      So glad you like the interactions between Albert and Candy, and you bet, they both realized each other’s feelings but unsure at the same time.

      About the gossips, I’m inspired by another fanfic although I’ve twisted it even more and exaggerated the scandal. After all, people couldn’t understand why the adoptive daughter of a very rich man would rather live a rural life. Besides, they could hardly believe nothing had happened between a grown up man and a beautiful young lady while living together for this long. 😉

      • Agnès says:

        You guessed well Ms Puddle, I read your chapter just before my bedtime and it was perfect for sweet dreams! 😉
        Thank you for your compliment, Ms Puddle, it means a lot to me! 😀

        I forget to say, I’m wondering what her two shelter mothers will think about Candy’s decision to not leave Albert!

        • Ms Puddle says:

          You’re very welcome, Agnès dear! Hope you had sweet dreams 😉

          I enjoy reading your romantic story so far, and I noted that you have published a new chapter! Congrats! 😀

          I’ll write about Candy’s foster mothers’ response. Please stay tuned, my friend! 🙂
