Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 738

Sure, the old guy was a bit older, but he was really good at taking care of others. You could see how happy Juniper was when she was with him. If they actually broke up, she might revert to being the gloomy, brooding Specter.

“Just drive,” Juniper said wearily, leaning back against the seat and slowly closing her eyes.

First, she'd deal with things at the main base, and then she'd go back and deal with that damn man.

Hunting her down? Bombing her base and her cargo ship? And exiling her to an uninhabited island? He had some nerve! She was going to settle every single one of those scores with him!

But the thought of Shanley… made her heart ache, and a lump formed in her throat.

The last time she’d felt this way was when she left home to find medicinal herbs for her grandfather. She missed him.

At the main base, the moment the car stopped, the five masters rushed over to Juniper, overjoyed.

“So, you finally decided to grace us with your presence?” Catherine pulled Juniper into a tight hug, her eyes red. “You little rascal, you went after the leader of the Sigma Network without telling us! What if something had happened?”

“But it didn’t,” Juniper replied with a faint smile, letting Catherine hug her.

“You’ve got some nerve, kid,” Michael stepped forward. His expression was stern, but his voice was laced with affection. “Something that big happens, and you don’t even call us.”

“And you too, Luella.” After scolding Juniper, he turned his gaze to the timid, boyishly-dressed girl hiding behind her. “There’s a limit to how much you should indulge her nonsense.”

Luella kept her head down, not daring to say a word. It was true; she had almost gotten Juniper into serious trouble. Thank goodness the leader of the Sigma Network was Shanley. With anyone else, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Don’t blame Luella,” Juniper said, her clear voice cutting in. “This was my fault, not hers.”
