Robert reassured his son and promised to address the issue. Curious and concerned, he later found the green box, which contained jewelry and a family photograph that included a man resembling Candice.
Confronted with the photo, Robert asked Candice if she was hiding a lover. Shocked, Candice denied it but seemed burdened by a deep secret. She revealed that the photo was given to her by her grandmother, who disclosed a family secret before passing away.
Candice tearfully explained that her mother had an affair resulting in twins—her and a brother. Each child was raised by one parent without knowing the other existed. The man in the photo was her twin brother.
Robert was stunned but supportive as Candice expressed her pain over not knowing her biological father and the dilemma of reaching out to her brother without causing pain to her parents.
Candice remained torn about whether to connect with her brother, fearing the potential fallout for her family.
