Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 426

Twenty-five minutes had passed surprisingly quickly. It just went to show that time flew when you were doing something interesting.

Juniper sent a text to Qadir: [Where are you?]

Qadir replied almost instantly: [They took a wrong turn, I just found them. If you’re hungry, go ahead and eat, Juniper.]

Eat first? Juniper lifted the lid of the pot, and the fresh scent of wild mushrooms mingled with the rich aroma of chicken. It smelled divine. But her friends hadn't arrived, so naturally, she couldn't start without them.

Still… a little taste of the broth wouldn't hurt, right? No, better not.

A few seconds later, Juniper put down her phone, picked up a spoon, and ladled a small amount of broth into her bowl. She took a sip, and her eyes lit up. It was delicious.

Well, since she’d already had one sip, another wouldn't be too much to ask, would it? Not at all.

Having convinced herself, she poured a larger portion this time, holding the bowl with both hands and blowing on it as she took small, satisfying sips, her eyes narrowing with pleasure.

Before long, Qadir walked in with Queenie and Dolce.

“Perfect timing, we can eat right away,” Qadir announced, busying himself with serving everyone.

With exams in two days, this meal was meant for relaxation, so no one mentioned studying.

“Juniper,” Qadir said after a while, putting down his fork and knife. He looked at her with keen interest. “So, after graduation, are you and Mr. Schwartz going public?”

“Public?” Juniper, who was nibbling on a bone, froze and looked at Qadir in confusion. She and Shanley were just landlord and tenant, right? Besides, he had never even confessed his feelings to her.

“What are you prying for?” Queenie smacked Qadir’s arm and quickly changed the subject. “Juniper, Mr. Schwartz is coming to pick you up, right?”
