Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 839

“How so?” Juniper asked with interest, lounging lazily in a chair with her legs crossed. She was munching on some spicy jerky sticks that Shanley had tried to hide from her, but she’d found them anyway.

“She’s just like you,” Celine said, glancing at Juniper with a small smile, her lashes dipping low. “Loves to eat, loves to cause trouble, and loves to fight.”

Juniper’s chewing faltered. Suddenly, the jerky in her mouth didn’t taste so good anymore. Only a real sister could deliver such a sharp-tongued compliment.

“So, Juniper, when are you and Mr. Schwartz getting married?” Celine changed the subject, dabbing her lips. “He seems really good to you.”

“Married?” Juniper took a sip of her milkshake, her long, thick lashes fluttering. “I haven’t even made things official with him yet,” she drawled.

“What?” Celine froze for a second, her face peeking out from behind a bag of potato chips.

Juniper tilted her head back, revealing her elegant collarbones, a faint smile playing on her lips. “He’s been on his best behavior lately, so I might take him out and introduce him around. As for marriage, he hasn’t even proposed. You don’t expect me to be the one chasing him down the aisle, do you?”

“Huh?” Celine’s brain was still trying to catch up. She leaned forward, blinking. “So if he asks, you’ll really marry him?”

Juniper fiddled with the snack bag, her starry eyes deep and thoughtful.

Just as she was about to answer, Flint’s voice interrupted. “Ms. Payne, your brother-in-law… former brother-in-law… I mean, Warren is here.”

Juniper tossed her snack aside, her gaze landing on Celine’s face. “Celine, do you know who Warren is?”

“Hmm?” Celine sat perfectly still, her expression unchanging. “Flint said he’s your former brother-in-law? Is he Ebony Fox’s ex-boyfriend?”
