Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 796

Juniper hadn't gone far when her heart suddenly clenched, a tingling numbness spreading through her entire body. She turned back, but Celine was already gone.

"Juniper, what are you looking at?" Qadir asked curiously.

"Let's go," Juniper said, glancing at the mango cake in her hand and giving a faint smile. What a truly bizarre day. She'd met a strange 'big sister-child.'

At the coffee shop, Warren finished his meeting and returned to Celine's side.

"Have you been waiting long?" he asked softly. He had tried to rush, but it still took half an hour.

"Hee hee," Celine giggled, clutching her phone and staring at him adoringly.

"What's got you so happy?" Warren asked, intrigued by her good mood.

"Pretty... Sis," Celine answered earnestly, taking her husband's arm.

"Pretty?" Warren didn't quite understand, but he smiled. "Yes, our Celine is the prettiest of all."

Back at Cloudscape Community, Juniper was lounging on the sofa, bored. She opened the profile of her new friend, Celine. There were no posts, but the background was a photo of her crouching in a vegetable garden, picking cilantro.

Cilantro? Juniper chuckled. She couldn't believe she'd found someone else who grew it.

"What are you looking at?" Shanley asked, emerging from his shower. He paused when he saw the smile on Juniper's lips. She'd been so worried since learning about Ebony Fox's condition, but now she was actually smiling.

"Nothing," Juniper said, shaking her phone nonchalantly. "I just met a sweet girl who's an adult but acts like a child."

"In three days, I'll go with you to Liberty Island," Shanley said, sitting down and placing a hand on her waist. His tone was gentle. "We can go in disguise."

"No," Juniper refused, explaining carefully, "Warren already knows who you are, so the system must have your iris scan. No matter how you disguise yourself, you won't get through Liberty Island's security."

She had no desire to be chased by their people again.
