Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1734

Monday.

Ebony Fox was still groggy when she suddenly felt someone touching her face.

She grabbed the person's wrist and slowly opened her eyes.

Kurt?

"I'm heading to the airport now." Kurt leaned over the bed, his hands resting on either side of her as he gazed down.

"Now?"

Ebony Fox checked the time. It was five in the morning.

"Yeah."

Kurt nodded and said softly, "I got a flight change notification last night and didn't have time to tell you."

Ebony Fox gazed back at him, suddenly at a loss for words.

She had originally planned to see him off at the airport.

"I already instructed Polly to make sure you eat on time. If you lose even a single pound, she'll have to deal with me." Kurt leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"Did Polly rob you in a past life?" Ebony Fox said, quite speechless.

"No." Kurt smiled and shook his head. "But I've definitely bribed her plenty in this one."

Just to have her keep an eye on Ebony Fox, he had gifted her another air purifier.

Polly had repeatedly declined, saying she couldn't accept it.

In reality, as she hugged the purifier, her smile was practically stretching from ear to ear.

Kurt added, "I made breakfast and put it in the fridge. When you get up, just warm it up in the microwave."

Ebony Fox pursed her lips. "If you're leaving at five, how early did you have to get up to make breakfast?"

"I couldn't sleep anyway." Kurt's lips curved into a smile. "I also made some ravioli. Whenever you want some, just steam them."

"If you don't know how, ask Polly for help. She'll be more than happy to."

Ebony Fox stared at him, feeling a lump form in her throat, unable to make a sound.

"It's about time. I have to go." Kurt ruffled Ebony Fox's hair. "Go back to sleep. I'll bring you a present when I get back."

Click—

It wasn't until the sound of the door closing echoed through the room that Ebony Fox snapped out of it, realizing Kurt was no longer there.

The room was terrifyingly quiet, so still that she could hear the rustling of the wind outside the window.

Kurt hesitated for a few seconds before grabbing his suitcase and following her.

On the way to the airport.

Ebony Fox drove while Kurt sat in the passenger seat, staring fixedly at her.

Whenever they hit a red light, he would grab her hand and play with her fingers earnestly.

Ebony Fox gave him a side glance.

Childish.

But she let him be.

Half an hour later.

The car pulled up to the airport entrance, but Kurt showed no signs of getting out.

"Isn't your flight at seven?" Ebony Fox asked in confusion, noting that boarding would close in just twenty minutes. "You can only park here for two minutes."

"Then I'll just look at you for two more minutes." Kurt smirked. "Drive safe on your way back."

"I don't need you to tell me that." Ebony Fox pursed her lips, urging him, "Stop talking nonsense and get out of the car."

"Mhm."
