Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1307

"I didn't think that far ahead!"

Seeing the highly defensive "boy" keeping his distance, Jimmie's voice was hoarse. "I just want to solve the agony I'm in right now."

"The agony of thinking about you every single day. Morning, night, at work, in bed. You're constantly on my mind."

"If I didn't say it out loud, I was going to lose my mind."

"I don't even know why I feel this way." He stood up, taking a slow step toward her. "Maybe I'm sick. Maybe I'm crazy. But I can't control my heart or my thoughts. There's nothing I can do."

"So I convinced myself to accept you."

"Stay back!"

Hearing his confession, a part of her was deeply moved, but her brain remained painfully rational.

She absolutely could not expose her true identity as a woman. She still had to return to Stellara Country and assist with the administration.

She and Jimmie could never have a future together.

Since that was the case, some lines were better left uncrossed from the very beginning.

He stopped in his tracks.

"I think you're confused." She scratched her head, her mind a tangled mess. "You're a great guy, but you're really not my type."

"What is your type?"

"Tall, handsome, filthy rich, with an eight-pack..." she answered without skipping a beat.

He didn't say a word, just stared at her quietly. His eyes clearly said:

Why don't you just say my name?

Uh.

She froze, suddenly realizing she had practically just described him down to the letter.

"No, I mean..."

She stumbled over her words trying to backtrack. "Regardless, it's impossible for us to be together. I could never do that to Silas and Theia, or to Juniper."

"What if they all agree?" he pressed.

"Like that would ever happen!" she frowned. "Let's just leave it at this. We shouldn't see each other anymore. Give it some time, and you'll go back to normal."

With that, she spun around and sprinted for the door, nearly getting lost because she was so unfamiliar with the house layout.

He stood frozen in place, the light in his eyes dimming inch by inch.

Her reason for rejecting him was fear of disappointing his parents and Juniper?

He had already prepared his parents. As for Juniper...

He would find the right time to come clean.
