Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1937

"Thanks!"

The corners of Channing's mouth lifted; he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

Even though he didn't have an official title yet, the fact that Coralie was keeping the baby proved she had feelings for him.

Sooner or later—

He would step out of the shadows and return to her side properly.

He was going to be the father of that child.

And he was going to be Coralie's husband.

——

Evening.

Odom waited by the car to drive Coralie home.

Soon, she walked out carrying her bag.

She wore a knee-length knit dress with a light-colored cashmere coat draped over it.

She had flat shoes on and walked with deliberate care.

"Ms. Quill." Odom opened the door, his eyes glued to her.

"Yeah."

Coralie paid him little mind, casually adjusting her coat.

Suddenly, the small bump of her belly was exposed.

'Odom's' gaze deepened. It was already this big?

Thinking back to how he had previously mistaken it for weight gain, Channing wanted to slap himself.

He should have realized it sooner.

On the drive back.

Coralie curled up in her seat, lazily scrolling on her phone.

Thinking the driver wasn't looking, she absentmindedly rubbed her stomach.

A smile stretched across Channing's face, his eyes brimming with happiness.

"Pick me up on Monday at 10 AM."

Coralie stepped out of the car, speaking casually. "You've worked hard lately. Take the weekend off."

"Thank you, Ms. Quill." Odom lowered his head subserviently. "I'll have someone deliver your three meals on schedule."

"No need—"

"It's no trouble. Mr. Irving already paid me." Odom looked at her, his voice gentle. "Mr. Irving truly is a wonderful man."

Coralie pressed her lips together, staying silent, and walked away with her bag.

A wonderful man?

More like a calculating bastard.

He was already gone, yet he left behind all these loose ends.

Just when she was about to forget him, someone would bring him up again.

Channing only looked away when she disappeared from view.

Right on cue, Jude called.
