Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1465

Harold looked down, glancing at the chest beneath his shirt.

Well-defined muscles, not an ounce of excess fat.

He was glad that despite his busy work schedule, he had kept up with his workouts and maintained himself so well.

Lorelei had no idea what was going through the man's head, still admiring the necklace in her hands.

“Whenever is fine,” Harold said casually. “We're having dinner at my family's place tomorrow. That sister of mine is a terrible secret-keeper. Since she's seen you, she's going to tell the whole family the minute she gets back.”

He didn't want the rest of them coming over in batches to sneak peeks at her.

“Do I need to prepare anything?”

Since she'd agreed to play along, she was determined to act the part flawlessly.

“No need.” Harold shook his head. “Just bring yourself.”

“Won't that seem rude?” Lorelei asked.

Eleanor was a high-society lady from a long line of scholars. Lorelei had grown up by her side, carefully molded by her guidance. She placed a heavy emphasis on proper etiquette.

“Rude?”

Harold pushed her wheelchair over to the sofa, scooped her up, and carried her back to the bed in the bedroom. He looked down at her face, the corners of his lips turning up. “My family doesn't really care much for etiquette."

"My eldest brother nearly fell for a guy, bent himself backward and then straightened himself out again."

"My third brother is a goofball who's always making moves on people too close to home."

"My fourth sister is more of a man than most men; even the guys steer clear when she gets into a fight."

Celine is pregnant, so he doesn't dare say a bad word about her.

"My sixth sister spends all her time stringing along young pretty boys."

"And my seventh sister... Well, you just saw her squatting in the bushes.”

Listening to Harold's brief introduction, Lorelei's eyes widened, her emotions in a tangled knot.

They definitely sounded a little... unconventional.

But if Juniper was that much fun, the others certainly wouldn't be awful.

Thinking this, the knot of anxiety in Lorelei's chest loosened significantly.

“Alright then.”
