Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1412

My little sovereign?

The audience's eyes practically popped out of their heads!

The way these two addressed each other was absolutely unhinged!

"It really is you!"

Pushing past the other judges, Peter strode right up to Juniper, looking her up and down with wild excitement. "You had that hat on earlier, I completely missed it."

"Your eyesight must be going," Juniper shot back casually, showing zero mercy. "I told you to stop doing shady things, but you never listen."

"Hiss—"

The host's expression shifted drastically at her words, while Professor Dawson next to them sucked in a sharp breath.

Good lord.

You couldn't just say things like that out loud.

Yet, to everyone's shock, Peter wasn't angry at all. Instead, he threw his head back and let out a booming laugh.

The scene left everyone around them utterly baffled.

Soon enough.

Peter managed to calm down, though he looked deeply confused. "My little sovereign, did you just say you're Dr. Nocturne? You've got to be kidding me!"

The two had met at an underground pharmaceutical trading market.

He had suffered a sudden medical emergency, and thankfully, she had been there to save his life.

After they got to talking, they realized they shared a lot of the same interests.

Plus, the young girl was unbelievably gifted in medicine, so they stayed in touch.

With her help, his medical career had progressed at breakneck speed.

Thanks to her guidance, his promotions had skyrocketed.

As for the nickname, she had told him to call her "my little sovereign," and it just stuck.

"How could you possibly be Dr. Nocturne?" Peter ran a hand through his curly hair, firing off questions in fluent English in total disbelief. "You told me Dr. Nocturne was a friend of yours!"

"Did I?"

Juniper blinked innocently, deciding to play dumb to gloss over the lie.

"Didn't you?"
