Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1818

"How old am I? Do you really think I'm having another daughter?"

Furious, Monique smacked him, snapping in exasperation, "You've got such a slick mouth. I really have no idea what she even sees in you."

"She's probably captivated by my handsome face and my brilliant sense of humor," Kurt shot back playfully. "Fine, give them to her if you want. They're for your daughter-in-law anyway."

"Glad you know your place." Monique scoffed lightly before turning back to Ebony Fox. "My judgment really was terrible before, and I did a lot of ridiculous things."

"Since you and Kurt truly love each other, I won't stand in your way." Monique's expression turned serious, her tone deeply sincere. "These things were always meant to be the engagement gifts I prepared for Kurt's future wife."

"Looking at how he is now, if you don't take him, he'll probably never find another girl anyway, so there's no point in keeping them."

"This is just a token of our sincerity. You don't need to feel any pressure."

Saying that, Monique pulled an inventory list from her bag and placed it on the table. "When Kurt recovers a bit more, our two families should have dinner together. I'll formally apologize to your parents in person."

Ever since she stopped interfering in Kurt's affairs, Kent and Hannah at home had been beaming at her non-stop.

Looking at the densely packed list of items, Ebony Fox felt incredibly conflicted and a little overwhelmed.

"Just accept it."

Seeing her hesitation, Monique spoke up again. "Isn't there still a six-month trial period? We'll respect whatever choice you make."

This wasn't forcing a marriage; it was simply showing their stance.

"Alright, let's just accept it then," Kurt suddenly chimed in, grinning cheekily. "Let's see what kind of good stuff we've got in here."

"Holy— Holy crap—"

Catching sight of something, Kurt suddenly started shouting, "I begged you to let me just touch this necklace for so long, and you wouldn't even let me near it. And now you're just giving it to Ebony Fox?"

"Mom, you're way too biased!"

"I am biased, so what are you gonna do about it?" Monique scoffed. "Looks like you two haven't fully rested yet? I'll take my leave then."

"Oh, right—"

Monique took a few steps before suddenly stopping. She turned back, a slightly awkward look on her face. "Even though Kurt doesn't have any major issues anymore, he's still not completely fully recovered. You two should... take it easy."

Ebony Fox: "?"

Kurt: "!"

That was basically rubbing salt straight into his wound!
