Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 257

Jimmie was back? Shanley's tall frame stiffened slightly, his deep eyes instinctively glancing at Juniper. The girl's lips were pressed into a thin line, her pretty face wrinkled in a slight frown, her expression unreadable.

"Understood," Shanley replied, then turned to Juniper and said softly, "Let's go, Juniper."

Juniper didn't move. She stood her ground, her clear eyes fixed on him.

"What is it?" Shanley asked, curious.

Juniper pursed her lips, her voice a little husky. "My bedroom door is broken, right? And my things can't be taken out?"

"That's right," Shanley said, a faint smile tugging at his lips. He took a step closer, lowering his head slightly to meet her gaze, his eyes warm and fond. "You don't want to leave, do you?"

"I have this bad habit..." Juniper licked her lips, her expression serious. "Once I get used to a place, it's hard for me to adapt to a new one. Changing places will affect my studies."

Affect her studies? The girl who had skipped two years of high school and scored perfectly on every subject was claiming a change of scenery would affect her studies?

"What are you smiling at?" Juniper's cheeks flushed a light pink, a hint of annoyance in her voice as she saw the smile on his handsome face grow wider.

"Nothing," Shanley murmured, his eyes soft. He gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, the corners of his mouth lifting.

"I understand everything you're saying, Juniper. I'll talk to Jimmie in a minute. I'll get him to agree to let you stay here for a while longer."

As for the future... after this little girl finished her exams, he had other plans in mind.

"Okay," Juniper nodded, her expression softening. "Let's go then."

Shanley smiled helplessly. If the girl was this attached to him, what chance did anyone else have? Melvin was just playing with fire by trying to get close. Once he joined the Orient Country Racing Association, he'd better behave and stay away from Juniper. Otherwise...
