Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1507

D-Daughter?

Lorelei looked down at the docile little kitten nestled in her arms, utterly bewildered for a moment.

Hadn't she told her assistant to come pick the cat up?

Wait a minute!

Wasn't Harold supposed to be allergic to cats? How was he holding it?

"Let's go inside." Harold grabbed Lorelei by the wrist, pulling her toward the house.

Watching them walk away, Joel let out a soft sigh, his eyes filled with a complicated mix of emotions.

Back in the living room.

Harold dropped the suitcase to the side, but he didn't let go of Lorelei's wrist. He frowned down at her. "Why did you come back with Joel Garner?"

"Joel was in Yalania for business and gave me a ride back on his way." Lorelei struggled weakly against his grip, snapping back, "Let go of me."

"Lorelei!"

Harold hadn't slept in two days and two nights; his mind and heart had been entirely consumed by thoughts of her.

She wouldn't answer his calls, wouldn't reply to his texts, and yet here she was, laughing and chatting with Joel.

Was she planning on choosing Joel and dumping him?

"Why did you sign the divorce papers?" Harold demanded, his eyes red-rimmed and his voice low. "Is it because of Joel Garner? What is so great about him that you've been pining over him all these years?"

He has no sense of responsibility, no backbone.

If he knew the woman he loved was being 'forced' into a marriage with another man, he would have crashed the wedding and stolen the bride no matter the cost.

Joel hid out of the country for three years, and now he comes back to fight for her?

What the hell took him so long?

"What does this have to do with Joel?"

Forced to meet his gaze, Lorelei's expression was just as dark as she shot back defensively. "You know perfectly well why I did it!"

Why was he even a doctor?

He'd make a great politician with the way he could instantly twist the blame onto someone else!
