Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1713

"So, uh, you wanted a sunny-side up egg, right? I'll go make one right now!"

Unable to withstand Juniper's intense gaze, Kurt scurried back into the kitchen.

He cooked the egg, took a moment to compose himself, and finally returned to the dining room.

Ebony Fox sat silently beside Juniper.

His cousin...

Well, never mind.

He was even more useless, not daring to utter a single word.

"Here's your egg, Juniper." Kurt placed the plate down.

He then took off his apron, straightened his clothes, and put on a very serious expression. "Juniper, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Juniper asked, cutting into the egg.

"For hiding this from you," Kurt explained in a low voice. "At first, I was just being shameless, falling for Ebony Fox and relentlessly pursuing her."

"I know our family dynamics are a bit tangled now, and it makes the whole who-is-older-than-who thing weird."

"But..."

Kurt looked at Ebony Fox, emphasizing every word. "I truly care about her, and I want to be with her."

"Whether you want to hit me or yell at me, I'll take it."

"Alright."

After hearing Kurt out, Juniper stood up, holding a fruit knife.

"Huh?"

Kurt turned pale, stumbling backward two steps in pure terror.

"?"

Shanley narrowed his eyes, quietly watching the drama unfold.

"Juniper."

Ebony Fox also stood up, stepping protectively in front of Kurt in a flash. She looked at Juniper seriously. "We can talk this out. Put the knife down."

"Ebony Fox..." Seeing his girlfriend step up to defend him, Kurt felt that getting stabbed twice would be totally worth it.

As long as Juniper agreed to let them be together.

"I've just been sitting too long, I only stood up to stretch." Juniper offered a faint smile, sitting back down and casually placing the knife on the table. "So tell me, what exactly is going on between you two?"

Kurt and Ebony Fox exchanged glances, and ultimately, Ebony Fox was the one to explain.

"That's pretty much it," Ebony Fox said, pressing her lips together. "I chose to be with him voluntarily."
