Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1849

How could that not count as liking him?

"Well..."

Kurt pondered it for a moment, finding himself unable to argue against it.

After all—

Ebony Fox had originally been attracted to his good looks, too.

"Keep at it." Kurt patted his shoulder, looking every bit like an experienced mentor. "If she likes that about you, it proves she's not far from liking *you*."

"Is that so?" His eyes flickered, and he replied with dead seriousness, "I'll try my best."

—

A short while later.

Ebony Fox emerged from the room without Coralie trailing behind her.

"Honey~"

Spotting her, Kurt immediately trotted over like an eager puppy and clung to her arm.

"Don't just call me that!" She really hadn't gotten used to the term yet. It felt so awkward.

"Oh." He looked perfectly earnest, opting for a completely reasonable compromise. "Since you aren't used to being called 'honey,' why don't we switch?"

She turned her head to glare at him.

He pressed on, "You call me 'husband.' I'm totally used to that."

She shoved him away, a deep blush creeping up her cheeks.

There was no way she could ever say that out loud.

This insufferable idiot was getting sleazier by the minute.

"Coach Ebony Fox." He stepped forward, his brows furrowing slightly. "Is Coralie still inside?"

"Yes, she's not feeling well. Could you go check on her?" She gave him a deeply meaningful look. "Mr. Irving, my sister trusts you very much."

"The honor is mine." He offered a faint smile.

Coralie had only ever confessed the trauma in her heart to her.

He probably didn't even realize why Coralie cycled through boy toys so constantly.
