Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1917

Jimmie parted his lips but ultimately said nothing, silently looking away.

Those two were quite the pair.

"Huh?"

As they were chatting, Luella suddenly leaned back and inspected Coralie closely. "Coralie, you look a little different lately."

"Oh... what?"

Coralie swallowed hard, panicking as she subtly adjusted her clothes to cover her stomach, trying to act casual. "Different how?"

"Hmm..."

Luella stood up, circled around Coralie, and then suddenly pulled her into a tight hug, laughing loudly. "You're glowing, obviously. You look absolutely gorgeous."

Coralie froze on the spot, trying to force a laugh but failing.

She almost thought Luella had noticed the baby.

That scared her to death.

While the two were laughing and joking, there was a knock on the door.

Warren Sherwin walked in, holding his wife's hand with one arm and carrying their son, Arthur Sherwin, in the other.

"Arthur..." Luella ran over immediately, took the chubby little boy, and nuzzled him affectionately. "Did you miss Aunt Luella? Tell me you missed me, come on, tell me."

"Babble babble coo..."

Arthur was only a little over six months old; he didn't speak English, only baby talk.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Luella nodded enthusiastically, acting as if she understood perfectly. "Arthur says he didn't just miss me, he also thinks I'm getting prettier."

"Look at him, he's blushing because he's so shy."

"I don't think that's it."

Coralie had barely stepped closer when she caught a whiff of an indescribable smell. She pinched her nose and said, "Celine, I think Arthur just pooped."

Luella: "Huh?"

So he wasn't blushing from shyness, he was just pushing?

Awkward.

"If you like kids so much, why don't you and Jimmie have one?"

Celine Sherwin took the baby back from Luella and asked with a smile. "With your genes, any kid you two have is guaranteed to be adorable."

"We can't." Luella glanced at Jimmie, who was watching the diaper-changing spectacle from afar, her expression hesitating.
