Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 415

A little amateur?

Was that bald old fox really getting so worked up over her?

"Oh, there you are!" Hannah's voice chimed in just then. "You came in through the side entrance, dear. I was waiting for you at the main gate."

"Good day, Mrs. Schwartz," Juniper said, pulling her gaze away and standing up straight to offer a respectful greeting.

"None of that 'Mrs. Schwartz' business! Don't be such a stranger!" Hannah took Juniper's arm affectionately, her face blooming into a wide smile. "You're with my good-for-nothing grandson now, so you can just call me Grandma!"

Grandma? After a few seconds of silence, Juniper’s lips moved, and she slowly managed the word. "Hello, Grandma."

"Yes!"

Hannah's eyes widened in surprise, then crinkled with delight. Honestly, she had just been saying it. The last few times the girl had visited, she'd been a bit distant, only willing to call her Madam. After all, her grandson hadn't officially won her over yet, so she didn't want to push it. She hadn't expected this! Her grandson was making progress!

"Wonderful, wonderful," Hannah beamed, her heart swelling with affection as her voice softened. "Why are you standing out here? Why don't you come inside?"

Before Juniper could answer, another voice cut in. "Master!"

In the next second, Dr. Zigmund shot up from his chair like a spring, rushing to the door in disbelief. He stared at Juniper, a mix of surprise and elation on his face. "What are you doing here? I was just planning to find an opportunity to pay you a visit personally."

In the presence of his Master, Dr. Zigmund’s entire demeanor became incredibly deferential. He bowed slightly and asked, "By the way, that boy Harold, he hasn't caused you any trouble, has he?"
