Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1203

The intimidating aura immediately vanished from his posture, and he suddenly looked frail again. "Juniper, let's go inside."

"Oh." Juniper naturally tightened her grip around him, supporting him as they walked in.

Flint: "???"

Wait, wasn't his voice booming with authority just a second ago when he yelled at him?

He was totally faking it! No wonder Ms. Payne called him "Mr. Delicate"!

Inside the bedroom.

As soon as Shanley lay down, Juniper stepped up, kneeling one leg on the mattress, and began unbuttoning his shirt with both hands.

"Juniper—"

Shanley startled awake, immediately catching her wandering hands. His brows furrowed deeply. "Now isn't really the best time."

Sure, he could still move, but his injuries would definitely affect his performance.

"?"

Juniper swatted his hands away, ripping the shirt open, her voice cool and clinical. "I'm checking your wounds. What does the time have to do with anything?"

"You're just checking my physical condition?" Shanley froze, lowering his dark eyes in obvious disappointment.

"What else would I be doing?" Juniper tossed the ruined shirt onto the floor, her fingers lightly tracing the edges of his bandages. Though he was healing well, all the recent exertion had caused some fresh bleeding.

"Nothing." Shanley leaned against the headboard, pressing his pale lips together, the light fading from his eyes. He had assumed she was eager to give him a little reward.

"Stay here. I'm getting the medical kit."

Noticing his weird expression, Juniper didn't ask questions. When she returned, she had a first-aid box in hand. Carefully and meticulously, she disinfected and reapplied the dressing to his wounds.

"Your ribs haven't fully healed yet. From this moment on, you are to stay in this bed and behave," Juniper warned. "If you push yourself again, your body will actually shut down."

"Okay." Shanley nodded obediently, grasping her hand and looking at her with puppy-dog eyes. "Why are you being so mean to me?"

"Try acting delicate one more time, I dare you!" Despite her stern words, she let him hold her hand, her tone softening considerably.
