Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1696

"Received. Thanks, Shanley!"

After replying, Kurt immediately started his sports car, preparing to orchestrate an "accidental" encounter.

After sending the message, Shanley suddenly realized something.

If Kurt succeeded in winning his wife, how would the family hierarchy work out?

If they went by Ebony Fox's status... Wouldn't he be demoted in seniority and have to call Kurt his brother-in-law?

That was completely backwards!

...

Downstairs.

Carrying her bag, Ebony Fox reached the parking lot only to realize she had left her car keys in Juniper's room.

Going back up would definitely wake her.

After thinking it over, Ebony Fox decided to call a cab.

While she was looking around, a black sedan pulled up beside her. The window rolled down, revealing Kurt's handsome but slightly sickly face.

"What a coincidence."

Kurt stared at her, flashing a brilliant smile. "Meeting like this must be fate. Get in, I'll give you a ride."

"No need." Ebony Fox looked at him blankly, her red lips moving. "I called a car."

"Check your phone. I bet nobody took your ride." Kurt looked entirely confident. "This is a famous high-end residential area in Eclara City. Private cars aren't allowed in."

Ebony Fox didn't believe him and checked her phone.

The driver had canceled the order.

She believed it now.

"I'll go back and get my keys." Ebony Fox turned to leave.

"Getting them won't help." Kurt stayed exactly where he was, speaking unhurriedly. "There are driving restrictions today. Your car isn't allowed inside the third ring road."

Ebony Fox checked the news on her phone. He was right.

"Walking from here to the designated taxi pickup zone takes at least forty minutes."

Kurt glanced at the overcast sky and spoke with earnest concern. "The weather forecast says it's going to rain soon. You just recovered from a cold. Don't push yourself."

"If it really bothers you, just treat me like an Uber driver. Just pay the fare."

After weighing her options, Ebony Fox eventually got into Kurt's car.

Afraid he would misunderstand, she deliberately handed him the cash upfront.

She turned to leave.

"Ebony Fox." Kurt pulled a thermal lunchbox from the back seat, smiling cheekily. "I don't just drive. I also cook."

"How about you pay a little extra and buy this breakfast off me?"

"I woke up at 4 AM to make it. It tastes really good."

"Especially since it has your favorite yam and minced pork puree."

Ebony Fox hadn't eaten breakfast and was indeed a bit hungry, but she didn't want to have too much contact with him.

She hesitated for a few seconds. Then walked inside without looking back.

Tsk.

Kurt tugged at the corner of his lips and dialed the assistant's number. "Open the door. Food delivery."

In the office.

The assistant knocked on the door, smiling with narrowed eyes. "Ebony Fox, breakfast is here."

The box was opened to reveal steamed ravioli, yam and minced pork puree, fried eggs, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

"This place is pretty good." Ebony Fox took two bites and praised it with satisfaction. "Next time, we should go eat at their actual restaurant."
