Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 647

Her eyes sparkled when she mentioned the snacks.

“Is that so?” Shanley squeezed her fingers, a slight smile on his face, finally feeling at ease. “It’s not every day you meet a woman who loves snacks as much as you do.”

Oh, right. His mother, Miranda, was also a huge fan of all kinds of snacks. She and Juniper... were practically two peas in a pod. That meant they would definitely get along when they finally met. While other mothers- and daughters-in-law discussed bags, shoes, and makeup, Juniper and his mother would be debating which snack tasted best.

He chuckled at the thought. How amusing.

“I’m going to take a shower,” Juniper said, pushing Shanley away and heading upstairs.

“Go ahead.”

Shanley remained in the living room, carefully inspecting the snacks in her bag. The dates were fresh, the packaging was intact, and the quality was excellent. They were safe to eat.

“Dana, please put these away for Juniper,” Shanley instructed.

“Of course,” Dana replied as she gathered the items. “Sir, Ms. Payne got into a fight at the bar. Shouldn’t you look into it?”

“No need,” Shanley said, shaking his head. He picked up an apple and began peeling it methodically, a small smile playing on his lips. “Juniper doesn’t like people interfering in her affairs. She can handle something minor like this on her own.”

“Very well.” Hearing Shanley’s confidence, Dana felt reassured.

...

After peeling the apple, Shanley picked up his phone and opened WhatsApp to his mother's chat.

By this time, she should be awake from her beauty sleep.

Shanley: [Mom, do you and Dad have any plans after you get back on Monday?]

Miranda: [?]

Shanley: [I want you to meet your future daughter-in-law.]

Miranda: [I thought you were gay.]

Shanley’s face darkened instantly at her reply. It was one thing for strangers to speculate, but for his own parents to be so ridiculous?
