Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1689

Kurt sat down next to him, slowly changing his shoes.

"Of course you hoped I wouldn't show up." Xavier continued to sneer. "Kurt, don't think I don't know what you're scheming."

"Oh? Do tell. What exactly am I scheming?" Kurt arched an eyebrow, his smile incredibly punchable.

"You never saw Ebony Fox as a sister," Xavier stated bluntly. "Kurt, you have feelings for her, don't you?"

Kurt froze for a split second before a radiant smile bloomed across his face.

Even Xavier had figured out his intentions, yet Ebony Fox was still completely oblivious.

It really was true.

Emotional intelligence was genetic in that family.

Looking at it now, Ebony Fox's EQ seemed even lower than his sister-in-law, Juniper's.

"I do. So what?" Kurt had no intention of hiding it anymore, admitting it loud and proud. "I told you to stay away from her from the very beginning because she is mine."

"Heh."

Xavier let out another cold laugh, showing zero restraint. "Whose she is remains to be seen."

"You like her, but what about her? Does she like you back?"

Xavier stared coldly at Kurt, his tone growing increasingly dismissive. "If Ebony Fox finds out you've been lusting after her, how do you think she'll react?"

Kurt's gaze darkened. He couldn't answer that question.

Because he didn't dare guess what Ebony Fox's reaction would be either.

The assistant hid under a nearby desk.

Pretending to look for a dropped pen while straining her ears to eavesdrop.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Two men fighting over one woman.

She'd only ever seen this kind of spicy drama on TV!

——

A few moments later.

Ebony Fox stepped onto the training floor.

Seeing the two men, she remained expressionless. "You, stand on the left. You, on the right."

Xavier: "Me?"

Kurt: "We're training together?"

"My time is limited. Cut the chatter." Ebony Fox strapped on her wrist guards.

Seeing that their lips were about to touch, Xavier couldn't keep up the act. He violently shoved Kurt away. "Kurt, are you insane?!"

"Aren't you the one who's insane?" Kurt gave him a knowing sneer. "Watched too many soap operas? That cliché trope is outdated as hell. Don't you feel embarrassed acting it out?"

"Embarrassed?"

Xavier was furious, snapping back coldly, "When it comes to acting, who puts on a better disguise than you?"

"What exactly am I disguising?"

Kurt stared down at him, his expression terrifyingly calm. "Tell her."

"You never saw Ebony Fox as your sister. You're in love with her. Have you no shame?!"

Xavier blurted out, desperately hoping Ebony Fox would immediately snap and beat Kurt to a pulp.

The assistant sneaked a thrilled glance at Ebony Fox, her heart racing.

Was it starting?! Was it finally happening?! She wasn't ready for this!

Ebony Fox frowned slightly, looking as if she hadn't entirely processed the words.

"Tsk."

Now that his secret crush was finally out in the open, Kurt's thin lips curved into a proud smile. "That's right. The person I love is Ebony Fox. So what?"
