Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1626

"Do you still love me?"

Shanley wore the mask, but his exposed eyes were bloodshot, terrifyingly red.

Looking down.

Only then did Juniper realize he was still wearing his indoor slippers; he must have bolted straight from the house.

To say he was in a rush, he hadn't even changed his shoes.

To say he wasn't, he still remembered her grandmother's warning: don't see each other before the wedding to ensure a lifetime of love.

He specifically found a mask to wear.

She wore a mask, he wore a mask...

If they couldn't see each other's faces, it didn't count as seeing each other, right?

Right.

It didn't count.

"I do."

Seeing his pathetic state, Juniper answered honestly.

Then, thinking about how disheveled he looked, she let out a "pfft" and burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?"

Shanley was so wronged he was on the verge of tears. Her laugh nearly broke him completely.

She sneaks out to see young guys behind his back, gets caught red-handed, and now she's mocking him?

"Can't I laugh?"

Juniper narrowed her eyes, her smiling face looking exceptionally adorable.

Shanley thought about it, then gritted out a miserable, "You can."

Forget it.

She said she loved him, nothing else mattered.

"Let's go home."

Shanley sighed deeply, suppressing all his anger, and took Juniper's hand.

As long as she stayed by his side, he'd let all her past mistakes slide.

Wow.

Shanley's face looked so awful, like a wounded puppy.

Juniper pulled on his hand, explaining, "I was only buying his body."

Shanley's face grew even fouler.
