Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1727

"I didn't—"

Ebony Fox opened her mouth to argue, but the rest of her words were entirely swallowed up.

If the earlier moment had been driven by impulse, they were both fully lucid now.

The electricity coursing through their veins was far more intense than before.

She lacked experience, and so did he.

He treated her as though she were a priceless yet incredibly fragile treasure, endlessly exploring and learning.

—

When she opened her eyes again.

It was already morning.

Ebony Fox turned her head, catching sight of the man sleeping soundly beside her, and slightly furrowed her brows.

Last night, after the kissing ended, he claimed his head was spinning and he couldn't find his way back to his own room, asking if he could just rest there for a minute.

Then she fell asleep.

And he fell asleep.

And she woke up to this.

Throwing off the covers, she stepped out onto the balcony to catch a breath of fresh air.

A few moments later.

Someone stepped up behind her, wrapping his arms securely around her waist.

She cast a sideways glance at him, giving him a small shove. "Let go."

Why was he holding her so tightly?

"I can't go to the studio to cook for you today." He didn't let go, just adjusted his grip slightly, his voice a low rumble. "I have to head into the office. Something came up."

Since returning from his studies abroad, Kurt had taken the small fortune he made from personal investments and launched a drone startup.

The company was still in its infancy; it wasn't raking in massive profits yet, but the potential was immense.

"Go do what you need to do." Ebony Fox understood. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a bank card.

"What's this? Are you seriously trying to be my sugar mama?"

Taking the card, he weighed it playfully in his hand, laughing as he asked, "Let me guess how much is on here."

Ebony Fox didn't reply. Once it was in his hand, she turned to walk away.

"Hey!"

He caught her arm, firmly pressing the card back into her palm, his expression turning entirely serious. "Your boyfriend isn't useless. Even without my family, I can easily support myself."
