Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1638

"Ahhh!"

Queenie pinched Qadir's arm hard, screaming internally. "The way they greeted each other! I'm dying, this is too perfect!"

Qadir clenched his jaw, wincing through the pain. "If you don't let go, I'm actually going to die before you finish freaking out!"

Queenie quickly released him, terrified she had actually injured him.

"Does this count as completing the mission?"

Shanley didn't approach her right away. His deep eyes were fixed intently on Juniper, but his question was directed at Melvin.

"How did you know she wasn't in the lineup?" Melvin scratched his head, utterly baffled. "I was the only one who knew she was hiding in the closet."

"Wait a minute—"

Melvin suddenly turned to Juniper, asking suspiciously. "Juniper, did you secretly leak the answers to him?"

Juniper shot him an unamused look that clearly said: What do you think?

"Probably not."

Melvin quickly shook his head. They had gotten through all the difficult obstacles already.

She had no reason to cheat for him on the very last one.

"Intuition."

Shanley explained unhurriedly, a faint smile playing on his lips. "First, Juniper wouldn't play along with such a tedious game. Second, the bedroom is only so big. She wouldn't hide in the bathroom."

"If she wasn't in the main room and wasn't in the bathroom, the closet was the only option."

Shanley's eyes narrowed, his gaze as deep and consuming as a storming sea. "Plus, when I walked in, you instinctively glanced at the closet door."

"Ugh!"

Melvin smacked his forehead, frustrated. "You noticed that?! Old fox, were you a spy in a past life or something?"

"So, I've officially passed?" Shanley's eyes crinkled in amusement, a wicked smile spreading across his face. "May I take my wife now?"

"No—"

Melvin waved his hand, about to demand another ransom, but he wilted instantly under Juniper's warning glare. He quickly changed his tune. "No problem at all. Go ahead."

"Thank you."
