Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 427

“Who’d want to be that close to him?”

“Who’d want to be that close to her?”

At Dolce’s teasing, Qadir and Queenie spoke at the exact same time, their voices dripping with disdain.

“Haha, you two are in sync,” Dolce remarked, her eyes darting between them with amusement.

“No, we’re not!”

“No, we’re not!”

They both turned their heads away, once again speaking in perfect, mortifying unison.

“Hahaha…” Dolce couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

“What’s so funny?!”

“What’s so funny?!”

After they said it again, they stared at each other in disbelief, a hint of guilt in their eyes. What was going on? How had they suddenly become so synchronized?

“Alright, alright,” Dolce said, stepping in to break the tension, trying to stifle her laughter. “Queenie was just joking earlier. Qadir, you’ll definitely find a wife. And Queenie, you’ll find your soulmate. When the time comes, we can be each other’s bridesmaids and groomsmen.”

Her words were met with silence. A few seconds later, Qadir and Queenie awkwardly boarded separate buses.

Dolce stood there, confused. She thought her well-wishes were nice. Why did they get angry?

Back in the restaurant, Juniper’s head felt heavier and heavier. She was so sleepy. As she drifted in a daze, she saw the man she’d been waiting for walking toward her.
