Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1621

"Tell you what, let me talk to my wife," Shanley drawled lazily. "How does that sound, Ms. Quill?"

Uh-oh.

Did Shanley recognize her?

Even though she hadn't really expected to fool that old fox, failing on the very first try was just pathetic.

Coralie looked over at Juniper, spotting the amused smirk on her lips. She suddenly felt like a pawn in this couple's little game.

"Boring. This isn't fun at all."

Coralie threw off the covers, grabbed the glass of red wine from the nightstand, and stormed out in a huff.

At the door,

she abruptly stopped and shouted at the phone, "Shanley, just you wait until the wedding day."

"Juniper, I think I just offended Coralie."

Shanley's smile vanished, his tone turning remarkably humble. "She won't actually make things difficult for me when I come to get you, will she?"

"A bit late to start worrying now, isn't it?"

Juniper gave a soft laugh and said earnestly, "Coralie isn't the only one you've offended. It's just one more hurdle."

Shanley: "???"

——

Soon after.

Coralie returned to the bedroom, holding her wine, looking as lazy as a cat.

"Done on the phone?" She raised an eyebrow. Her alluring expression somehow held a hint of innocence.

It was as if she wore two masks, making it impossible to tell which was the real her.

"Mhm."

Juniper tapped her phone screen, pulled back the covers beside her, and stared at her friend. "You should drink less at night. It's not good for your health."

"Such a little manager."

Despite her words, Coralie set the wine glass down, slipped into bed beside Juniper, and studied her face with wide eyes.

Juniper touched her own cheek. "What are you looking at?"

Coralie smirked. "You're glowing. It proves Shanley is taking fantastic care of you."

"You think so?"

Juniper pinched her own cheek. Maybe a little.

"It's a good thing."
