Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1524

"You are."

Shanley leaned forward, using his thumb to gently wipe a drop of fruit juice from the corner of her mouth. A wicked, playful smile tugged at his lips. "You did wonderfully, Ms. Payne."

"Tch."

She shot him a mock glare, closed out of her game, and draped herself lazily across his chest.

Opening her messaging app, she found Janet's contact.

Juniper: [How is Aunt Saskia feeling?]

Janet: [We just left the clinic for her check-up. Everything looks great! *Cute sticker*]

Juniper: [Awesome. I'll bring you some good food when I'm back.]

Janet sent a voice memo: "Thanks! Love you so much, mwah!"

A second after sending it, Janet suddenly realized something and carefully typed out: [Your... fiancé isn't right next to you, is he?]

Juniper: [He is.]

Janet: [Oh no, did he hear that?]

Her future brother-in-law was notoriously possessive. Would he be mad that she just confessed her love to his girl?

Juniper: [He heard. But he wouldn't dare say a word.]

Janet: [...]

Her cousin really had her man perfectly trained.

Ending the chat, Juniper tilted her chin up and placed a light kiss on the man's lips. "Janet says she loves me. Do you have a problem with that?"

"Heh."

He wrapped an arm around her waist, a devastatingly charming smirk forming on his face. "Do you honestly think your boyfriend is that petty? That I'd get jealous over anyone and everyone?"

"Oh."

She blinked, her red lips parting slightly. "So that kiss just went to waste."

"Mm."

He nodded, gently tilting her chin back up to press his lips firmly against hers, murmuring against her mouth. "Here, let me give it back."

Juniper: "???"

Typical capitalist. He never took a loss on an investment.

Putting her phone away.

Janet held her mother's arm as they stood by the curb trying to hail a cab.
