Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 638

Miranda just stared at Juniper. Standing so close, she could see the young woman’s features even more clearly, captivated by a rare beauty and an elegance that defied description. More importantly, she was brave and had a strong moral compass. She couldn't be more than twenty. Did she have a boyfriend?

Then again, it wouldn't matter. Not when her own son was so stubborn about not liking girls.

It was such a shame. A talented, beautiful girl like this would have made the perfect daughter-in-law!

“Are you alright?” Juniper asked, frowning slightly as she noticed the woman staring at her with a faint, dazed smile. “Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No, I…” Miranda finally snapped out of it, but before she could finish, a man’s anxious voice called out from down the hall. “Honey!”

Juniper turned to see a middle-aged man in a black windbreaker and a baseball cap jogging toward them.

“Are you okay?” the man asked, stopping in front of the smiling woman and taking her hands in his.

Juniper studied the man. Though she couldn’t see his face clearly, he carried himself with an air of importance. The woman, too, wore clothes that looked simple at first glance but were all from high-end luxury brands, her entire outfit easily worth a small fortune. They were likely a wealthy couple from Eclara City.

“I was in a bit of trouble, but thanks to this young lady’s help, I’m perfectly fine now,” Miranda said, pulling Hayden closer and giving him a pointed, delighted look.

Hayden’s eyes fell on Juniper, and they, too, lit up. What a beautiful girl! When his wife had been pregnant, he’d hoped for a daughter with bright eyes and a sweet, doll-like face. But they’d gotten Shanley instead. Not having a daughter had always been a quiet regret for both of them. It was clear his wife had taken a real liking to this girl.

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Miranda smiled. “Thank you again for what you did. Why don’t you join us in our room for a drink?”

“No, thank you,” Juniper declined politely. “My friend is waiting for me.”

“Alright then.” Miranda’s disappointment was obvious. She quickly took out her phone and opened WhatsApp. “In that case, let’s exchange contact information. I’d like to properly thank you later.”

Juniper’s brow furrowed slightly. This sounded familiar. It was almost exactly what Shanley had said when they first met.

She was about to refuse. It was just a small favor, after all. But Miranda clasped her hands together and looked at her with pleading, puppy-dog eyes. “Please? Just add me. I promise I won’t bother you.”
