Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1470

“Really? I can ask for anything?”

Harold took a step closer, tilting his head down slightly. His dark, fathomless eyes locked onto the girl's face.

Lorelei felt a sharp pang in her chest. She had guessed right; he did want something from her, which was why he had been purposely sweet-talking her. She just hadn't expected him to admit it so readily.

“Tell me.”

Lorelei tilted her chin up, forcing a stiff smile onto her face.

“I…”

Harold parted his lips, his throat incredibly tight. He gathered his courage, ready to speak.

*Clack—*

Behind him, a rock-hard, rock-solid piece of 'ravioli' that could probably knock out a dog...

Suddenly rolled off the counter and hit the floor with a sharp crack.

It instantly dragged Harold's rational mind back from the brink.

No.

He hadn't even won her over yet. Throwing out such a 'shameless' request right now...

Wouldn't Lorelei just end up hating him more?

“I forgot what it was for a second. I'll tell you when I remember.”

Harold turned his back, turning on the faucet to wash his hands before returning to Lorelei's side.

He set her crutches aside and effortlessly scooped her up into his arms.

Forgot?

Leaning against his chest, Lorelei pressed her red lips into a tight line.

Was his condition really that unreasonable? Was that why he was having such a hard time saying it out loud?

After freshening up.

Lorelei changed into a bespoke mulberry silk gown that she had designed herself.

It was a full-length, traditionally tailored dress, with pale gold threads tracing gorgeous jacquard patterns across the silk.

Sunset-colored frog closures fastened the slanted collar neatly across her shoulder, exuding a high-end, exquisite aura.

The dress perfectly accentuated the girl's figure, comfortable yet elegantly fitted.

It was classic, stunning, and utterly dignified.

Lorelei pinned her hair up, wearing a pair of matching earrings. With her bright eyes and radiant smile, she looked breathtakingly beautiful, completely flawless.
