Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 849

“This is Juniper’s older sister,” Kurt’s mother, Monique, prompted gently. “Go on and greet her properly.”

“Oh.” Kurt mumbled awkwardly and indistinctly, “Ebony Fox.”

Ebony Fox gave a slight nod in return. It was just a misunderstanding that led to a kick, she thought. This boy sure holds a grudge.

At the dinner table, the Schwartz family went out of their way to show their hospitality to Ebony Fox. But having been a loner for so long, she found the sudden warmth a little unsettling.

“Does Ebony Fox have a boyfriend?” Monique asked curiously.

Kurt, who was gnawing on a chicken wing, looked up as well.

“No,” Ebony Fox replied, shaking her head. What was a boyfriend? The word had never existed in her world.

“I see,” Monique said with a smile, thinking what a wonderful girl she was and wondering which undeserving man would eventually win her over.

Her gaze shifted to her own son, who was holding a chicken wing in one hand and clutching a fork in the other. A complete foodie! At twenty-one, he didn't have a single mature bone in his body.

Never mind. There was a three-year age gap; better not to let him ruin a good girl’s life.

“I hear you’ve been very busy lately,” Miranda said, personally serving Juniper a bowl of soup. “You have to take care of yourself, sweetie.”

“Thank you, Miranda,” Juniper accepted it with a small smile. “Shanley has been taking very good care of me, you don’t need to worry.”
