Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1783

"We're leaving!"

Dropping those harsh words, Amos grabbed his cane and turned to leave.

"Dad!"

Mr. Ainsworth glanced at the Schwartz family, then at his own father, and ultimately chased after him.

Mrs. Ainsworth stood there, hesitating for a few seconds before following them out.

In an instant.

The previously noisy living room fell completely silent.

Hector Schwartz and Monique, who had been eavesdropping from the loft, walked down.

Monique hid behind her husband, too afraid to speak.

Who would have thought?

Mrs. Ainsworth usually seemed so gentle and refined, but her words today had been incredibly venomous.

No wonder she raised a daughter like that.

Monique couldn't help but sigh in relief that they hadn't become in-laws.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a single peaceful day ahead.

"Did everyone hear what I said today?" Kent's deep voice rang out. "If anyone from the Ainsworth family comes back, do not let them in."

"Yes."

The butler and the maids nodded in unison.

They had no idea where the Ainsworths got the nerve to think the older generation of the Schwartz family would hurt their granddaughter-in-law for a stranger.

What's more—

The woman they wanted to bully, Ms. Ebony Fox, was very likely going to be Kurt's wife, the future second daughter-in-law of the Schwartz family!

How dare they!

"And what about you two? Did you understand?" Hannah looked at Monique, her tone much stricter.

"Mom, we understand."

Monique clung to her husband's arm, nodding guiltily. "I won't have any more dealings with the Ainsworths."

"Good." Hannah nodded. "You have to be careful with those wolves, or they'll chew you up to the bone."

"Mhm."

Monique nodded vigorously, looking very obedient.

At their home.

Entering the living room, Juniper was just about to bend down to grab her shoes.

Shanley squatted down, smoothly retrieved her slippers, and helped her put them on.

He walked over to her and crouched.

Carefully, he took off her shoes and swapped them for the slippers.

"Hurry up and take your medication. Don't delay." Juniper stretched her body, preparing to head into the kitchen to grab his supplement.

"No need."

Shanley hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and let out a soft chuckle. "Actually, I finished it a long time ago. I was just lying to Grandma."

He had to resort to desperate measures to keep his wife by his side.

"You old fox."

Juniper furrowed her brows, glaring at him playfully. "If Grandma finds out, she'll break your legs."

"Grandma already knew, you little fool." Shanley kissed the corner of her mouth. "You've had a long day. Want this old fox to help you bathe, Mrs. Fox?"
