Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 2015

Inside the office.

Coralie leaned back against the desk, tilting her beautiful chin up to stare at Channing.

"What is it?" Channing stepped forward, slipping one arm around Coralie's waist, smiling wickedly. "I came to pick you up. Are you not happy?"

"You came to pick me up?" Coralie sneered, not even bothering to expose his true motives.

"Of course." Channing chuckled, holding up the cake in his hand. "The line was huge, so the taste should be pretty good. Want to try some?"

Coralie cast her gaze down, taking a quick peek. It was her favorite flavor.

She blinked somewhat awkwardly and muttered, "For the record, the baby wanted to eat this."

"Mhm." Channing pulled her over to sit on the sofa, a smile playing on his lips. "He really is a little glutton."

Coralie was temporarily at a loss for words.

Didn't she just shoot herself in the foot?!

Seeing the man's profound, knowing smile, Coralie lightly punched his chest, her face flushed as she said, "Keep laughing and I'll throw you out."

"I'm done laughing." Channing began feeding her the cake.

When they finished.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Channing held Coralie's hand and openly walked out of the casino.

If Coralie hadn't hated being overly flashy, he truly would have paraded her all around Caelus.

That's right.

He was official. He had a title.

"Tch."

Watching their retreating figures, Manager Holt clasped his hands together and let out a deep sigh. "What a happy family of three. They're so perfect for each other."

A curious patron leaned in next to him and asked:

"Manager Holt, have Ms. Quill and the Governor set a wedding date?"

"No comment," Manager Holt replied, straightening his back with polite dignity. "However, marriage is a major life event. It can't be rushed. Naturally, Ms. Quill needs some time to evaluate him properly, don't you think?"

The crowd blinked.

Why did it feel like, after regaining his status as Governor, Channing's treatment in front of Coralie was actually worse than before?!
