    Hi Ms Puddle! Hope you and all our other friends are doing well. Busy month so far…! I definitely want to agree with you that Candy, in the manga, besides asking Albert once why he never told her of his true identity, she never questioned him again on this and truly seemed to be content just to be by his side! 🙂 Not talking about Rockstown or the parcel received from Albert is a bit odd! But I guess at that moment all they wanted to do was to spend quality time with each other. Plus it seems that Candy and Albert have a way to know each other’s inner thoughts without saying too many words… sigh!!

    I love how Candy describes that she aged from worrying so much! This statement totally enhances the manga scene where you see Candy not sleeping from terribly missing Albert! And of course Albert with his sense of humor telling her that is “just right” that she looks a bit more like a grown up so people don’t think she is his little sister!! Wow. This is a key statement, don’t you think Ms Puddle?!? Why is Albert in favor of her looking a bit more mature so people do not think she is his little sister (as they lived before as brother and sister)…if he didn’t have any romantic feelings toward her? Did Candy narrate this scene from her memories or was this a letter she read in CCFS?

    You mention that in this conversation between Candy and Albert, they both were out of character. I think Candy for sure was because she never got angry at Albert in the manga but in this case I totally give it to Mizuki! Candy had to become angry or at the very least upset or resentful toward Albert because he did not take into consideration Candy’s feelings here, perhaps assuming that she still loved Terry and would go back to him!?! But regardless, Albert just disappeared from her life and if it wasn’t for Georges making this reunion possible, they may have never reconnected so naturally she was angry at him. Albert here seems like his usual self to me, openly joking with Candy 😀 but so clear communicating his feeling for her! This situation would have made Albert work harder to win her love and trust again, wouldn’t you think? 😉 And finally, I do think it is very possible that this exchange happened in Lakewood as a way to let him know that she missed him terribly!! Sigh! I think Mizuki expects us to use our knowledge from the manga to complete the missing parts in CCFS. She has to otherwise it doesn’t make sense or you couldn’t see then entire picture. She just changed some of the order of events.

      Hola Evelyn! ¿Como estas? 😊

      When I first read the manga, I expected either of them would bring up Rockstown or the parcel, but instead, Albert talked about Terry’s return to Broadway. I think Albert knew Candy had gone there but didn’t leave the small town with Terry after all. I agree with you though, that Albert and Candy could intuit each other’s thoughts. Sigh…

      Evelyn, the scene described in this post was part of Candy’s retrospection, following her description of the period when Albert had suddenly vanished in her life, as discussed in Part 6 (that Candy spent many sleepless nights).

      I like Albert’s retort to Candy’s accusations of making her age… Lol… If it happened another time. But I love the manga scene so much that this exchange seemed out of character to me. 😉 Yet, reading your comment now, I see that Candy and Albert might be bantering… Not unlike how Candy and Terry dealt with each other back in London.

      About Candy’s anger toward Albert, I will continue in a new post. I basically agree with you, my friend!

      Thanks again for reading this and commenting despite being very busy! Appreciate your thoughtfulness, Evelyn. See you around. 😍😘

      • Evelyn says:

        Yes I also think that in this case, and possibly the only time, they may have been bantering a little. Specially Candy at Albert. After all, I feel it is only human of Candy to have this reaction toward Albert after what he did to her. Sigh!
        I also like the manga version, however I always thought that Candy was a bit passive and incredibly understanding to not even say a word to Albert after reuniting. But in CCFS she seems a bit more human explaining her feelings to the one she loves and cares about and how this entire experience affected her so that he knew what he put her through! I also like Albert’s retort…very smooth of him I must say 😀

        Very interesting point that you mention that instead of talking about Rockstown, Albert talked about Terry’s return to Broadway!! A very discrete way to touch on this incident! Thanks for your reply, my friend!! 😉

        • Ms Puddle says:

          Yes I agree with you Evelyn that Candy appeared more human in CCFS, that she showed her true emotions without fear. At her outburst however, he was able to dodge it by teasing her back. Like you, I feel that Albert let his guard down a bit by saying that it was just right that Candy looked more mature.

          Both of them were more human in a sense. Don’t you think? 😉

          • Evelyn says:

            Yes I do agree Ms Puddle that both seemed more human in CCFS from the spoilers I’ve read and that you have shared with us!! I especially like Albert’s sensitive side in the epilogue as we read the letters to Candy from his POV. The manga was a bit rushed toward the end I feel… We can appreciate Candy’s emotional roller coaster when she re-discovered Albert but he seems quite controlled with his emotions. I’m sure he must have felt emotional as well in CCFS. Does it say?

            • Ms Puddle says:

              Yes indeed, Evelyn. Even though the manga ending was beautiful it still seems rushed 😉

              I think Albert was caught completely off guard when Candy appeared out of nowhere, but he had time to compose himself in his armchair when she was talking on and on 😜😝

              In CCFS it’s mainly Candy’s POV, and to me Albert was most emotional when she blamed herself for being the major cause of Anthony’s death (during their Lakewood trip). Sigh 😳

          • Evelyn says:

            You are right, Ms Puddle! Albert did have time to compose himself while listening to Candy talk. Yes, CCFS is Candy’s POV but we do see for the first time Albert’s direct thoughts and feelings through his letter to Candy. I love that we see him struggling with his feelings toward Candy and how he pours his heart out to her! 🙂 So sweet!!

            • Ms Puddle says:

              I can’t agree with you more, Evelyn!! Because we don’t get to read his mind in the manga… mostly his facial expressions and gestures except the time when he had the inner thought he wanted to make Candy happy. 💕

    Muy buena reflexión sobre lo que pasó entre Candy y Albert….me gusta mucho a las conclusiones que has llegado, yo no entiendo muy bien porque en la serie no sale lo del bote de Stear ni cuando Albert salva a Candy del compromiso con Neal, (y es de mis escenas preferidas, Albert sale esplendido) definitivamente me gusta más el manga. Gracias por compartir tus opiniones con nosotros, cada vez me convenzo más que eran el uno para el otro. Gracias!!!

    • Ms Puddle says:

      Hola Patricia! 😊 Gracias por leer!

      Iguamente! I also prefer the manga version a lot! Their reunion in Lakewood was beautiful, touching and emotional! The engagement party was brilliant too, and Albert was the avenger! He not only rescued Candy from his stern aunt but also gave Neil a lesson! Albert’s there for Candy, and nobody would dare to bully her again. Sigh…

      Glad you like my post, mi amiga! ❤ Indeed, Albert and Candy were meant for each other!! 💕
