Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1695

"Matching social status?"

Juniper crossed her legs, slowly narrowing her eyes as she spoke seriously. "Family backgrounds are indeed hard to match. After all, there are barely any families in Eclara City worthy of us."

Ebony: "Huh?"

Juniper: "As for the age difference, they say an older woman makes a better wife. You're four years older than him, so he's getting more than just one good wife out of it. He's getting a steal."

"Hmm?"

Being at the Huntsman Institute, Ebony Fox rarely went online and wasn't very familiar with these popular sayings.

"Anyway, it boils down to... it's not that you aren't good enough for others, it's that others aren't good enough for you."

"Probably not."

Ebony Fox pressed her lips together, muttering softly so Juniper wouldn't hear.

She wasn't ready to expose Kurt's identity just yet.

If Juniper knew...

Who knows how she'd react.

"Do you like him?" Relationship guru Juniper was officially on the clock.

Ebony Fox frowned. "A little."

He was good-looking, had a great body, cooked well...

Didn't smoke or drink. His only flaw was that he never knew when to shut up.

"But his mom will oppose it." Mentioning this made Ebony Fox's head hurt. "When the time comes, there'll be crying, screaming, and threats. I find that annoying."

To turn her life upside down for a man.

It wasn't worth it.

"Got it."

Juniper nodded solemnly and held up a finger. "Then it just means you don't like him enough."

Ebony: "How so?"

Juniper: "If you really liked him, you'd want to face the obstacles together with him."

Ebony Fox frowned. "Is that how it works?"

Juniper: "Of course. I speak from experience."

"I understand." Ebony Fox set down the hair dryer and pulled back the covers, slipping into bed. "Let's sleep, babe."

"What exactly did you figure out?" Juniper looked bewildered. She wasn't even done talking yet.

When she said "don't like him enough," she meant that for ordinary people.

Given how ruthlessly calm Ebony Fox usually was, the fact that she was this conflicted meant she definitely liked him a lot.

No way. She had to get Shanley to investigate exactly who this guy was.

...

In the study.
