Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1530

"Are you into her?"

Juniper took a step closer. Her clear, starry eyes gleamed with a terrifyingly intense aura.

"Yeah."

Melvin straightened his posture, bracing himself for the scolding—and potentially a physical beating. "I am."

"Since when?" she demanded, her frown deepening.

"Since the very first time we met."

He furrowed his brow, answering with complete honesty.

The first time they met?

Wasn't Janet literally still in high school back then?!

"Melvin." She rolled her eyes, her red lips curving into a sharp sneer. "You're a monster."

His eyes darkened as he muttered defensively under his breath, "You're such a hypocrite. You act like that sly fox you're marrying is any better."

Uh. She paused, completely forgetting about her own fiancé's track record for a second.

"I'm completely serious about her," he explained earnestly, terrified she would shut him down. "I know I look like a careless playboy, but I have never messed around with anyone's feelings."

She blinked slowly. "And what if she doesn't like you back?"

"Doesn't like me back?"

He froze for a second before letting out a soft laugh. "Then I'll just keep chasing her until she does."

She didn't have a boyfriend, and she definitely wasn't married. Pursuing her wasn't a crime.

Besides, with enough persistence, there was no wall that couldn't be knocked down.

"She has a pure heart, and her intentions are completely innocent," she said softly, but her tone was absolute steel. "If you aren't one hundred percent certain you can give her a happy ending, I don't want you disrupting her life."

"And another thing—"

She took another step forward, her entire demeanor turning deadly serious. "We might not share blood, but to me, she is my family."

When she was at her absolute lowest, Aunt Saskia and Janet had been the ones to give her a home.

As long as she lived, no one on this earth was going to hurt either of them.

If he dared to break her heart, she would personally break him in half.

"I know."
