Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1280

"Princess, please get in," Shanley immediately opened the passenger door, shielding her head as she slid into the seat. He leaned over and carefully buckled her seatbelt.

"Moonlight Peak just updated their menu. Want to go try it?"

Shanley looked at her profile, gazing at her as if he could never get enough.

"Sure." Juniper, utterly charmed by his striking looks, leaned over and pecked him on the lips, her eyes curving into a smile. "But I have to give you a heads up about something, and you have to agree."

"I agree." Having gotten a taste of her sweetness, Shanley chased her lips for another kiss, murmuring low, "Whatever the princess wants, I agree."

"Luella is having dinner with us." Juniper pressed a finger against his chest to keep him at bay, her long lashes fluttering as she smiled like a sly little fox. "I already told her to meet us at Moonlight Peak. You're not mad, right?"

"Nope, you definitely aren't!"

Answering her own question, the girl sat back in her seat, looking entirely unbothered. "Drive!"

Shanley froze, his dark eyes narrowing slightly as a helpless smile tugged at his lips.

So she had buttered him up with kisses just for this.

Fine.

He fell for it every single time anyway.

At Moonlight Peak.

When Juniper and Shanley arrived, Luella was already going over the contract details with the restaurant manager.

"There aren't any major issues. Just make sure you don't bother Juniper about this later," Luella handed the documents back to the manager, her voice low. "She hates talking business while she's eating."

"Understood." The manager nodded and stepped away.

"When did you get here?" Juniper released Shanley's arm and walked straight up to Luella.

"Just got here," Luella lied smoothly.

She was wearing a sleek leather jacket, her hair dyed back to its usual ashen gray. A ruby stud glinted in her ear, giving her an effortlessly cool, rebellious vibe.
