Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1799

Marry?

His little fox was accepting his proposal?!

If he had known it was this easy, he would have found an excuse to get himself injured months ago.

I do.

Kurt was screaming frantically in his head. He wanted this more than anything in the world. He was more than willing.

But then he remembered Juniper's warning.

He couldn't look too happy, or all this effort would go straight down the drain.

"I've said my piece. Think it over carefully." Ebony Fox wrapped up the conversation and turned to his parents. "No matter what condition he's in, I will never leave him. I meant it before, and I mean it even more now."

After Ebony Fox left, only the three members of the Schwartz family remained in the room.

Staring at each other in stunned silence.

"She didn't just say that out of impulse, did she?" Monique muttered quietly.

If Kurt was permanently paralyzed, his future would be incredibly difficult.

Not to mention...

If he couldn't move from the waist down, they wouldn't be able to have normal intimacy in a marriage.

Marrying him would practically mean living like a widow.

Most other girls would have found an excuse to bolt by now, so why was she throwing herself at him?

"It didn't sound like an impulse. She was far too calm." Hector sighed softly. "These two kids have always truly loved each other. If we had just let them be together earlier, none of this would have happened."

Thinking about it that way filled Monique with even deeper regret and remorse. Her tears fell silently.

"Dad, Mom, I'm the one who's not good enough for her now," Kurt said, still firmly in character. "If she comes back, just kick her out."

"Kurt..." Monique's heart ached so much she could barely speak.

—

The next day.

Ebony Fox arrived at Kurt's ward at the usual visiting time.

Hector and Monique were just getting ready to feed him.

Kurt's performance piece for today was a hunger strike.

Kurt instinctively almost obeyed, but reason screamed at him not to blow his cover.

He bit his lip, pretending not to hear a thing.

"Kurt..."

Ebony Fox maintained her patience and called out again.

"I'm not eating." Kurt couldn't help but reply. "We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Just go."

Ebony Fox fell silent for a few seconds. Then, she suddenly stood up and leaned over him.

Hearing no footsteps, Kurt assumed she had already left.

He opened his eyes, planning to steal a quick glance.

But to his utter shock—

The moment his eyelids fluttered open, a gorgeous face magnified right in front of him.

Kurt blanked for a solid few seconds. Before he could even process what was happening, Ebony Fox leaned down and kissed him right on the lips.

Kurt's mind completely short-circuited, freezing him entirely in place.
