Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 209

Juniper slowly turned her head. There stood Shanley, his expensive suit slightly disheveled, his deep eyes locked on her in a state of shock. She said nothing, simply blinking at him.

"Young Master Shanley," Wendy greeted him respectfully. "What brings you here?"

After all the matriarch's attempts to get him to meet Ms. Payne, his sudden appearance was a surprise.

Hannah watched him, her sharp eyes missing nothing. The way he was staring at Juniper... it was intense, electric. After a few seconds, the shrewd old woman knew. Something was going on here.

"Shanley? What is it?" Kurt asked, moving to his cousin's side, completely bewildered by his unwavering focus on the fierce girl. Sure, she was pretty, but Shanley had seen his fair share of beautiful women. And wasn't he already involved with someone?

"Grandma," Shanley finally said, tearing his gaze away long enough to incline his head respectfully, though his eyes immediately flickered back to Juniper, a faint smile touching his lips.

Hannah's suspicions solidified. Her wayward grandson was smitten. But he had told her his heart already belonged to someone else. Was he planning to pursue both of them?

"What do you want?" Hannah’s voice turned cold. She smoothed her dress, trying to contain her anger. "If you have nothing important to say, go entertain your guests. Kurt and this young lady are having a lovely chat. Don't be a nuisance."

They were having a lovely chat? Shanley’s expression darkened as his gaze fell on Kurt.
