Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 270

“It’s just a shame we don’t know what J looks like,” Dolce lamented with a pout.

Juniper listened from the side, a complicated expression on her face.

“Juniper, I think Melvin is calling you,” Qadir said as the man approached, her inner gossip lighting up. “You two know each other?”

“Yeah.” Juniper nodded, looking at Melvin with a puzzled expression. “What’s up?”

“I heard you were talking about getting fried chicken?” Melvin reached them, holding up a bag. “I bought you some.”

Juniper narrowed her eyes, staring at him. “You came all this way just to buy me fried chicken?”

“Is there a problem with that?” Melvin’s gaze was fixed on Juniper, and the more he looked, the more he saw the resemblance to his mother, especially her eyes and mouth. So beautiful.

The others also turned their attention to Melvin. In their eyes, Juniper was a prodigy who could do anything. Knowing Melvin wasn't a surprise; they wouldn't have been shocked if she knew a god.

But was there a problem? They thought there was a huge problem! Melvin’s intention to win over Juniper couldn't be more obvious. Was he trying to pursue her?

Juniper stood her ground, not taking the chicken, her mind racing. What was he doing? Smiling at her like that, so happily. The gentleness in his eyes was the same look she had seen on her brother’s face, and on Shanley’s.

Oh god. A horrifying thought struck her. Could he… like her?

Juniper shuddered and instinctively took two steps back, creating some distance.

“No, thank you.” Qadir, sensing his “ill intentions,” stepped forward protectively.

“Our Juniper only eats things given to her by Mr. Schwartz. She doesn’t accept food from other men,” he announced with a huff, making it clear that Juniper was already taken.

“Is that so?” At the mention of Shanley, Melvin’s thoughts turned to his sister possibly being snatched away by some old man, and his face instantly darkened. “Anything he can give her, I can give her too.”
