Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 348

The only time she had looked at him in the past three seconds was to silently command him to give her a sip of water.

So, the game was more important than him?

Shanley’s lips were pressed into a thin line, his displeasure written all over his face. The oppressive atmosphere in the car was suffocating.

Felton and Flint, glancing at their boss’s thunderous expression in the rearview mirror, barely dared to breathe.

Meanwhile, the culprit was happily tapping away at her game.

“Ahem.” Flint cleared his throat and said loudly, “Boss, the crabs you had specially chartered a flight for, all the way from overseas for Ms. Payne, have arrived.”

He made sure to emphasize the words “for Ms. Payne.”

“Hmm?” At the mention of food, Juniper’s head snapped up. She looked at Shanley, her eyes sparkling. “You bought me crabs?”

“Yes.” The moment she spoke to him, Shanley’s grim expression vanished, replaced by a humble smile. “You said you were craving them yesterday, didn’t you?”

Juniper blinked, a complex emotion welling up inside her. It wasn't even crab season; she had just mentioned it offhandedly. She never thought he would go to such lengths to have them flown in for her from another country.

“Aren’t you just the best?” she murmured, her lips curving into a smile that made her eyes crinkle at the corners. Her voice was light and sweet.

“Of course. I’d give you anything you want,” Shanley said, his smile deepening as he watched her. He gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, his voice a soft, intimate murmur. “Including… my life.”

His life? The words hit her with unexpected force, making her fingers tremble. On her phone screen, her character died, but in her chest, her heart softened and swelled at his declaration.

“Alright,” Juniper said, leaning forward slightly. She blinked her pretty eyes and raised an eyebrow. “I’ll take your life, then.”

From now on, he was hers. His person, his life, all of it belonged to her. No one else could touch him.
