Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 2007

He had low blood sugar. If he didn't eat, he was asking for trouble.

"Alright."

Channing agreed, picking up the fork and bowl she had just used, digging in without a second thought.

Coralie opened her mouth but ultimately stayed quiet. Resting her chin on her pillow, she blinked as she watched him.

In just three months, he had lost so much weight.

Watching him scarf down the food couldn't help but remind her of his past, back when he had to eat dog food.

Coralie pursed her lips and said softly, "I'm sorry, Channing."

"For what?"

Channing's fork paused, his eyes shooting toward her.

Why was she suddenly apologizing? It was a little unsettling!

"I treated you too horribly in the past." Coralie licked her lips, her voice laced with guilt.

She had a bad temper back then and always used him as her punching bag.

"How were you horrible?"

Channing asked with a smile, looking at her scrunched-up face.

"Um..."

Coralie thought hard about it, but suddenly couldn't pinpoint exactly how she was horrible.

But in her memory, it felt awful.

"Right, I slapped you!" Coralie lifted her head suddenly, enunciating every word.

"I forced a kiss on you, so wasn't it entirely justified for you to slap me?"

Channing raised an eyebrow, his lips curling. "That's exactly how you should handle that kind of behavior. You did great, Boss!"

Coralie: ?

Wait, she was trying to apologize, and he was praising her for it!

"Right, you forced a kiss on me." Coralie fully remembered now and shook her head. "That one doesn't count."

She frowned, thinking hard again, her beautiful face scrunched up.

Channing put down his fork, leaned in to kiss her cheek, and whispered tenderly, "The three years I spent by your side were the happiest days of my life."

Whenever she scolded him, it was all bark and no bite.

At most, she'd call him a dog or a jerk.

How was that any different from flirting?!
