Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 668

Miranda: 「AHHHHHHHH!」

Miranda: 「You’re my idol, Demon! I can’t believe it! AHHHHH!」

Miranda: 「Demon, can I please meet you?」

Miranda: 「OMG, I can’t believe I’m seeing my idol in the flesh!」

Juniper raised an eyebrow at the barrage of messages. She instinctively angled her phone away from Shanley and typed back a simple reply. [Okay.]

“What is it?” Shanley frowned at her secretive movement, his voice a low rasp. “Who’s texting you? Is it important?”

“It’s that lady I met the other day.” Juniper gave him a quick glance at her chat screen, where the contact was saved as ‘Snack Lady.’

“She’s a fan of Demon,” Juniper explained. “I’m going to meet her for a minute.”

“I’ll go with you.” Shanley grabbed his jacket, ready to get up.

“No, it’s fine.” Juniper firmly refused, picking up the cake Shanley had bought her. She looked at him, her delicate face serious. “For… personal reasons, she doesn't want anyone else to see her.”

“Alright.” After a moment’s hesitation, Shanley decided not to follow.

“Come back soon,” he urged softly. “A big crowd of fans can be unsafe.”

With Demon’s sudden reappearance, the entrance was likely swarmed, and an impulsive fan could do anything.

“Okay,” Juniper nodded, heading out with the cake.

...

Seeing his wife embracing Juniper, Hayden frowned, a pang of jealousy in his chest. But then he thought, “at least Demon is a woman. If she were a man… if my wife hugged him, I’d have to—”

Never mind. It wasn’t like he could object anyway. A successful husband knows how to console himself!

“How on earth are you Demon?” Miranda asked, holding Juniper’s hand, unwilling to let go for even a second. Her eyes seemed glued to her.

“Surprising, isn’t it?” Juniper gave a small smile. “Honestly, I just started playing because I was bored and needed to kill some time. Later on, I saw how teams from other countries were trashing our players, so I put together the Neverfall Navigators.”

“After a while, I stepped back to focus on my studies,” Juniper explained, opening the cake box and placing it in front of Miranda. “A gift in return.”

Miranda had brought her plenty of snacks before the match, after all.

“Oh, Demon, you like this brand of cake?” Miranda didn’t hesitate, scooping a piece into her mouth with a spoon. Her eyes narrowed in delight. “Wow, I love it too! I was just about to go buy one.”
