Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1905

Coralie took the opportunity to slip her medication back into her bag and smoothed out her emotions.

When Channing returned, he picked up the bowl of soup to feed her.

Coralie ate silently, her eyes fixed on him, staring so intently that Channing started to feel a chill creep up his spine.

"What is it? Is there something on my face?"

Coralie didn't say a word. She turned her head away, quietly seething at herself.

They hadn't used protection that night. She never should have let it happen.

Now look where they were.

She had literally created life!

"What's wrong, Boss?" Channing set the bowl down, framing her face with his hands and asking softly.

She had been in a strange mood since they got back last night, and now she was sulking again.

"If you're upset, you can hit me, yell at me, whatever you need. Just don't let it bottle up and hurt you."

Channing rolled up his sleeve, offering his bare forearm to her mouth. "If you really need to, bite me. How's that?"

If she kept everything suppressed like this, it would take a toll on her health.

Coralie really was frustrated. She grabbed his arm, resting her teeth against his skin.

In the end, she couldn't bring herself to bite down.

Forget it.

The bite marks she had left on him before hadn't even fully healed yet.

"I just..."

Coralie thought for a second and spun an excuse. "I miss my family a little."

"Do you want to go back and visit?" Channing asked. "I can have the private jet ready. We can leave anytime."

Coralie shook her head.

If she went back in this state, sharp little Juniper would see right through her in a heartbeat.

She needed to wait until she had processed reality and figured out a solution before telling them.

Or...

She could wait until Channing left and quietly terminate the pregnancy on her own.

Whatever happened, she couldn't let him find out.

"Then how about we go shopping?" Channing suggested. "I heard some of your favorite brands just got a new shipment in."

Coralie couldn't muster any enthusiasm. It was likely due to pregnancy fatigue.
