Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1674

Kurt's back was turned to her, so she couldn't see his expression.

But the girl across from him was smiling brilliantly, her eyes curving into happy crescents.

She was clearly overjoyed.

Ebony Fox pressed her lips together and, without observing them any further, walked straight toward one of the private dining rooms.

The moment she walked away, the smile on Annie Ainsworth's face froze.

She stared at Kurt in disbelief, voicing her confusion. "Kurt, what does that mean?"

What did he mean she was celebrating too early?

"Do you like me?" Kurt sat across from her and cut right to the chase.

"Huh?"

Not expecting Kurt to be so direct, Annie's face instantly turned red. She shyly lowered her head. "If I didn't, I wouldn't have agreed to this setup from our families."

Although they hadn't spent much time together, they had known each other since childhood.

She had always been secretly keeping an eye on him.

"That's a shame then," Kurt said, raising his eyes, keeping his tone as flat as possible. "Because I don't like you."

The smile on Annie's face shattered entirely as a misty film gathered in her eyes.

"I said I don't like you," Kurt repeated with forced patience. "You can't force love. If we actually got married, you wouldn't be happy."

"I don't love you, so I wouldn't touch you, and you'd be sleeping alone every night."

"Eventually, you'd grow jealous, pick fights with me, scream at me, and turn into a crazy woman..."

"How do you know I'd act like that?" Annie demanded through gritted teeth.

"Isn't that how it always goes in the TV shows?" Kurt shrugged, flashing a faint smile. "I don't want to waste your time, and you shouldn't waste mine."

"I agreed to meet today just to make things perfectly clear. Don't waste another second on me."

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Kurt stared at Annie. Seeing her remain silent, he immediately stood up. "If not, I'm taking off."

"Kurt—"
