Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1886

It had to be an illusion, or she was just dreaming.

Had she thought about him too much?

It felt so real.

Coralie rolled over and closed her eyes again.

Just sleep, sleep.

When she woke up tomorrow, everything would go back to normal.

Channing: "?"

He hadn't intended to disturb her. Seeing her open her eyes, he was just about to speak.

The bewildered girl stared at him for a few seconds.

Then suddenly shut her eyes and fell back into a deep slumber.

Was she sleep-drunk?

Channing smiled affectionately. Not wanting to bother her further, he quietly backed out of the room.

The next morning.

Coralie woke up, faintly catching the familiar, comforting scent of food.

Did the hotel deliver breakfast this early?

Coralie threw back the covers and was just about to get out of bed when the door suddenly opened.

"Ah—"

Startled, she quickly grabbed the blanket and pulled it up to cover her body.

Normally, hotel staff wouldn't enter her bedroom.

Because of this, Coralie had slept naked the night before.

Holding the breakfast tray, Channing was stopped dead in his tracks at the doorway by her scream.

"Channing?"

Staring at the sudden appearance of the man, Coralie's heart was still pounding. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back early? Get out!"

She grabbed the pillow next to her and hurled it hard at his face.

Channing didn't dare dodge, letting the pillow smack him squarely.

"I'm sorry."

Channing set the tray down and walked over to her, his voice soft. "I got back late last night and didn't want to wake you, so I didn't say anything."

Last night?

So seeing him wasn't a dream!

"You scared me to death!"

Coralie grew even angrier, a mix of fear and frustration making her eyes well up with angry tears. "I thought a stranger had broken in!"

"I'm sorry."

Seeing her in this state, Channing didn't dare provoke her further, apologizing profusely and letting her vent.
