Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 441

“My face, and my money,” Shanley repeated, a triumphant smile playing on his lips.

Jimmie, Harold, and Melvin were utterly speechless. It was an answer so ridiculous it looped back around to being impressive.

“You know, you’re with her without any official title,” Jimmie shot back, knowing just how to needle him. “Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”

The remark hit its mark. Shanley’s deep eyes narrowed thoughtfully. He had been holding back because she was still in school, but now that she had graduated… a lot of things were suddenly on the table.

“Where’s my milkshake?” Juniper’s voice cut through the tension. Her earlier gloom was gone, replaced by a radiant energy.

“Right here,” Shanley said, waving her over. He thoughtfully put a straw in the cup and reminded her gently, “It’s warm. Be careful.”

“Oh.” Juniper took a sip, her pretty face wrinkling slightly. “Tastes okay,” she muttered, then proceeded to down half the bottle in one go.

“What?!” Melvin stared, his world turned upside down. “I gave you the exact same milkshake yesterday, and you said it didn’t taste good!”

“Huh?” Juniper paused mid-sip, her long lashes fluttering as she gave Melvin an innocent look. “Was it the same kind?”

“Yes!” Melvin insisted, feigning a wounded expression. “I even asked that old fox for the recipe and bought it myself!”

The temperature, the sweetness—everything was identical. How was it that Shanley’s tasted better?

“Oh,” Juniper said, her eyes darting away guiltily. “I forgot.”
