Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1471

"Yeah."

Getting a satisfactory reply, Harold finally walked around to the driver's seat.

Having clothes custom-made for him?

Harold thought about it, a secret thrill blooming in his chest as the corners of his lips curved up imperceptibly.

Watching his changing expressions, Lorelei frowned deeply, feeling a sudden wave of anxiety.

What in the world was going on with him?

He was acting like a completely different person!

Just as she was puzzling over it, her phone suddenly rang.

Harold glanced over, catching the name "Joel Garner" on the screen, and instantly wiped the smile off his face.

"Mr. Garner..."

Lorelei froze for a few seconds, instinctively looking over at Harold with a hint of nervousness.

This was his sworn enemy, after all!

"What does he want?" Harold gripped the steering wheel, his voice low and raspy.

"He's asking me to dinner," she answered honestly, tapping into her messaging app.

Harold didn't say a word, but his expression turned incredibly dark.

Lorelei blinked and quickly typed out a reply.

His mood soured by the second. Catching a red light, he slammed on the brakes.

He instinctively reached up to loosen his tie for some air, only to realize he wasn't wearing one.

Message sent.

Lorelei locked her screen, looked at him, and said softly, "I turned him down."

Harold looked slightly taken aback, staring at her in confusion. "Why?"

"I'm meeting your family. I don't have the time." Her lips curled into a faint smile. "Dr. Houston, why do you dislike him so much?"

He choked on his words, a flash of embarrassment crossing his face.

It was because the girl he had secretly loved for years had a crush on Joel Garner.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Realizing she was prying into his privacy, Lorelei didn't push the subject, flashing him a sweet smile. "Looking a little green."

Harold stiffened, nearly slamming the gas instead of the brakes.

Green? Like he was sick to his stomach with jealousy?

He turned and headed toward the bedroom.

Lorelei sat on the couch, staring at the man's retreating figure as she recalled the background info she had dug up on Shanley Schwartz.

The undisputed ruler of Borealia, the absolute powerhouse of Eclara City. A man who could flip the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.

It was hard to imagine a guy like that tying on an apron to bake fresh bread.

It wasn't long before.

Juniper came out freshly washed. Seeing Lorelei sitting there looking as stunning as a painting, her eyes lit up like stars. "Morning, Lorelei."

"Morning, Juniper," Lorelei greeted, a gentle smile spreading across her face. "I heard Mr. Schwartz makes incredible pastries, so we had to come try them."

"Of course."

Juniper sat next to her, giving her outfit a thorough look before showering her with unreserved praise. "You look even more beautiful today."

Lorelei was absolutely delighted by the compliment, her mood instantly brightening.

"What about me?"

Harold sat nearby, watching Juniper completely ignore him. He drawled lazily, "Aren't you going to compliment me?"

Juniper raised an eyebrow, her red lips curling into a smirk. "Lorelei is gorgeous. And you... are definitely a person who exists."

Harold was speechless.
