Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 486

After more than ten hours on the flight, Juniper’s back ached, and she felt almost numb with exhaustion, refusing to move a muscle. In the end, Shanley had to carry her on his back to the car.

On the way home, Juniper finally checked her constantly buzzing phone. The group chat with Qadir and the others had accumulated over a thousand messages. Too lazy to scroll through everything, she read the last few messages to get the gist. The exam results were being officially released tonight.

Had it really been a couple of weeks? Time flew. That meant Shanley’s birthday was just a few days away, too.

Qadir: [Hey, guys, you won’t believe this. My dad has two things waiting for me when the results come out.]

Janet, Queenie, and Dolce all responded with question marks.

Qadir: [A new set of car keys, and a club thicker than my arm.]

If he did well, he got the car. If he failed… his dad was definitely capable of breaking his legs.

Qadir: [The suspense is killing me! Why are there still two hours left?]

Queenie: [Stop shouting! I wasn’t nervous until you started this.]

Dolce and Janet remained silent, just refreshing the screen, terrified the results portal would open early like it had before.

Qadir: [Where’s Juniper? She doesn’t seem worried about her score at all.]

Janet: [?]

Queenie: [?]

Dolce: [?]

Was her score something a genius should even be worried about? The ones who should be worried were the top universities, wondering which one she would choose.

After skimming the chat, Juniper tossed her phone aside and habitually leaned into Shanley’s embrace.

“Go to sleep,” he said softly, draping a blanket over her. He watched her sleep soundly, his gaze full of affection. Still… he was genuinely curious how she had scored.

When they arrived home, Juniper collapsed onto the bed and was asleep in moments.

Shanley glanced at the time. Less than half an hour until the results were released.

Well, it could wait until morning.
