Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1933

Only after everyone had disappeared inside did Channing step out from his hidden corner, a triumphant smirk tugging at his lips.

Her perception of him was that strong?

He knew it. She had him in her heart.

"Governor, our flight is at 2 AM. We should get going."

His subordinate cautiously reminded him.

Lately, the Governor had been acting like a total stalker, secretly trailing Coralie.

His workload back in Caelus was piling up like a mountain, and he hadn't spared a minute for it.

If they didn't head back soon, his older brother was going to cause a real disaster.

"Let's go."

Channing reluctantly pulled his gaze away. Knowing her family was with her put his mind at ease.

Zachary Rhodes needed to be dealt with.

——

The holidays ended.

Coralie packed her things, ready to return to Caelus.

She had been gone for over a month, and with Channing out of the picture, the casino needed her.

"If it's just about the casino, I can transfer a couple of guys from Subterra Vanguard," Juniper said in a deep voice as she helped pack. "You'll have no one to take care of you back there."

"I've survived over two decades just fine." Coralie touched her sister's cheek with a soft smile. "I'll arrange things at work and come back."

She just wondered if the replacement Channing found was reliable.

"I'll go with you!" Juniper was too worried.

She was pregnant, after all.

"You really don't have to!"

Coralie beamed, speaking earnestly. "Your classes are starting soon. Don't fall behind!"

Juniper muttered, "It doesn't even matter if I go."

She already knew everything they were teaching.

Going to campus just meant being treated like a workhorse by the deans of the Medical and Computer Science departments.

Tsk.

Half the time, she just wanted to tell them to step aside and let her take over their jobs.

"Be good now." Coralie handed her suitcase to the driver and gave Juniper a massive hug. "I'll bring you an ultrasound picture next time I'm back."

She wondered if her kid would be crossing their legs in the womb too.

Ultimately, Coralie returned to Caelus.
