Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1640

*Pop—*

The moment the words left his mouth, party poppers went off, showering them in a flurry of colorful confetti.

Under the joyful gazes and cheers of the crowd.

Shanley carried Juniper steadily toward the wedding convoy.

The weather was flawless.

The sky was a brilliant azure, the sun shone radiantly, and a gentle breeze drifted through the air.

The couple arrived in the main living room.

Theia and Silas sat on the sofa, their eyes welling with tears as they looked at the newlyweds.

"Mom, Dad, please accept our gratitude and this toast," he said softly, offering them a ceremonial drink. "Rest assured, I will cherish Juniper as my greatest treasure for the rest of my life. I will never let her down."

"Good, good."

Silas nodded, his eyes red as he handed them a generous wedding gift.

"You two take care of each other." Theia's composure completely crumbled. Tears streamed down her face, ruining her meticulous makeup.

"Don't cry," Silas hurriedly comforted her.

Theia quickly covered her mouth, mumbling incoherently, "I'm not crying out loud."

She just couldn't stop the tears from falling.

"Mom."

Juniper squeezed Theia's hand, offering a sweet smile. "We're only a thirty-minute drive away. Whenever you want to see me, I can be right over."

"I know, but I'm still sad." Theia choked back a sob, sniffling. "Shanley, you are not allowed to bully my daugh..."

Theia looked at Shanley, then at her own daughter.

The words died on her tongue. "Never mind. There's no way you could ever bully her."

"You're absolutely right, Mother-in-law," Shanley agreed solemnly. "I could never bear to."

Besides—

Outside of 'certain specific situations', he wasn't entirely sure he could win a fight against her anyway.

"That's good."

Theia squeezed their hands tightly, wiping her tears. "Go on now. Don't throw off the schedule."

"We won't."

Shanley stood back up, lifting Juniper into his arms again, and carried her out the door.

*Whirrrr—*

The moment they stepped outside, a loud mechanical hum filled the air.
