Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 275

After finishing her lunch, Juniper picked up some grapes and popped one into her mouth. Her gaze lingered on Melvin as she asked, “You seem to really like your sister.”

“Of course.” At the mention of his sister, Melvin’s smile widened, his eyes filled with warmth. “As far back as I can remember, she was always sticking close to me. Out of all our brothers and sisters, she liked me the best.”

“Is that so?” Juniper paused, a grape halfway to her lips. She narrowed her eyes, a knowing smile playing on them. She seemed to recall Jimmie saying the exact same thing—that she had been closest to him. Two brothers, two different stories. How odd.

“J…” Melvin stared at the young woman before him, his voice slightly hoarse. “I heard you’re an orphan. Do you remember if you had any family?”

Although he had already sent a hair sample for testing, this was a perfect opportunity to ask.

“I had brothers and sisters…” Juniper picked up her fork and slowly ate a piece of mango. “Why?”

“You have brothers and sisters?” Melvin’s smile froze. He had been completely unable to find any information on her past. To think she had siblings. Recalling the preliminary DNA results showed a high probability of a match, his heart pounded with excitement. This meant there was a strong chance Juniper was his sister. What had he done to deserve such a brilliant and beautiful sister?

“I do,” Juniper said, setting down her fork. She rested her chin on her clasped hands and looked directly at Melvin. “After you find your sister, what do you plan to do?”

Melvin’s throat tightened. He cleared it and answered seriously, “I’ll make it up to her, love her, and protect her with everything I have. Then, I’ll find our other siblings so we can have a family reunion.” He glanced guiltily at Juniper and added in a low voice, “After all… I am the oldest brother.”
