Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1422

That afternoon.

Luella Langley got ready early, planning to pick Jimmie up at the airport.

His schedule said he was returning tomorrow.

To avoid reporters camping at the airport and causing unnecessary trouble, he was intentionally coming back early.

His flight was scheduled to land at six in the evening.

"Sis, can't I go with you?" Jared Langley, wearing his panda slippers, trailed after Luella like a little tail, his mouth chattering away. "Sis, I'll be super quiet. I won't cause any trouble."

He missed his brother-in-law too.

Jimmie had promised to take him out for fast food and ice cream when he got back.

Two ice creams, even.

Although Jared lived with her, the kid still lacked a sense of security.

He was terrified of her leaving for too long, terrified of being abandoned.

Sigh.

Luella let out a soft sigh and crouched down in front of Jared, showing rare patience. "There are too many people at the airport. If someone takes a picture of you, it wouldn't be good for you."

"I'll come straight back as soon as I pick up Jimmie."

Fortunately, the last time they were photographed, it was only his back. If they caught his face, his school life wouldn't be peaceful.

"But—"

Jared pouted, ultimately not daring to disobey his sister. He tugged at her finger and said obediently, "Then I'll wait at home and make the chiffon cake Cindy taught me for you guys."

"Alright."

Luella's heart softened. She ruffled his hair. "Go play with Cindy."

Cindy was the housekeeper who had always taken care of Jimmie, and she was very reliable.

After calming Jared down.

Luella grabbed her bag and drove to the airport.

Plenty of bystanders were waiting for gossip.

Upon hearing those two names, the moving crowds suddenly stopped and turned toward the source of the sound.

Other reporters camping in the corners possessed sharp instincts. They hoisted their cameras and charged at Luella. Microphones shot out like arrows, shoved right in front of her face.

"Ms. Langley, when did you and Jimmie meet?"

"Are the photos online real? Have you really been married before and have a five-year-old son?"

"Rumors say the child was born through a surrogate when you were in a relationship with another woman. Is that true?"

"Did you used to like women? Did you take some kind of medication? And now you've readjusted to liking men?"

"An insider revealed that you personally sent the former Executive Chief of Stellara Country to prison. Isn't he your father? How could you be so cruel?"

"Have you ever considered that Jimmie has a very high status in Borealia? By being with him, won't you ruin his reputation?"

"Ms. Langley, say something!"

Listening to the sharp questions echoing in her ears, Luella tried to leave, but the path forward was completely blocked.
