Chapter 1586
[ 645 words ]
“You really are my flesh and blood!”
Melvin stood in the doorway, his smile collapsing as he shot Juniper a glare full of resentment. “Should I just leave then?”
“Could you run while you do it?”
Juniper raised an eyebrow, flashing him a lazy, uncaring smirk. “Come on in, sister- in-law.”
“Juniper.”
Being teased like that by Juniper made Janet’s face flush completely red, and she shyly grabbed the hem of her own shirt.
“Shanley, you’re not even going to try and ask me to stay?” Melvin stood by the door, staring gloomily at Shanley.
“Me?”
Shanley was lounging in gray loungewear, looking entirely relaxed and casual. “I don’t have a say in anything around here, Melvin.”
“???”
Melvin’s eyes widened in disbelief. It took him a long moment to force out a few words: “No wonder you managed to bag Juniper. You absolute snake.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.” Shanley arched a dark eyebrow, his deep eyes turning toward Juniper as he blinked innocently. “Aren’t I so well-behaved?”
“Damn!”
Melvin almost jumped in exasperation, throwing a thumbs-up in Shanley’s direction. “You really are an old fox. Unbelievable.”
“Fine. Since my girlfriend isn’t leaving, I’m not leaving either.”
Without waiting for an invitation, Melvin made himself right at home and plopped down onto the sofa.
“Tsk.”
Juniper shot him an indifferent look before turning her attention back to Janet. “So, what did Saskia say? Did she agree to let you guys be together?”
“Yeah.”
Janet nodded, her face still flushed. “My mom agreed.”
“Huh?”
Juniper glanced over at Melvin, who was happily munching on some fruit. She pursed her lips, looking thoroughly disappointed. “Wait, she just agreed? Just like that?”
“Hmm?”
Janet looked up, blinking. “Juniper, why are you so surprised?”
“I thought for sure my aunt was going to beat him to a pulp.” Juniper sat cross- legged on the couch, shrugging in disappointment. “I really wanted to see my brother get a beatdown. Should I text her and ask if we can rerun the whole thing?”
Janet’s mouth dropped open in shock. “Ah?”
Meanwhile, Melvin, who had been taking a sip from his glass, violently spat his water everywhere.
The biggest roadblock on his path to a happy marriage was undoubtedly this absolute menace of a little sister.
To formally reassure the Payne family.
Theia Sommers and Silas Blackwood explicitly invited Saskia to their home as an honored guest.
They promised they would treat Janet like gold and ensure she never suffered any grievances.
Saskia’s anxious heart was finally set at ease.
With such a warm, loving family backing them, if Janet and Melvin really went the distance…
Marrying into that family meant she would never have to suffer.
After that minor bump in the road, everyone’s lives gradually settled back into a peaceful routine.
The most important event on the horizon was Juniper and Shanley’s wedding.
The date was set for March 20th.
The Spring Equinox.
A beautiful day symbolizing the revival of life and the full bloom of spring.
While Miranda Zuniga and Theia Sommers were discussing dates they serendipitously discovered that Juniper’s actual birthday fell on the exact same day
All the best things were aligning perfectly.
The two mothers hit it off immediately and locked in the Spring Equinox as the
wedding date on the spot.
From now until the equinox, there were roughly eight months left.
The wedding plans were already finalized, with Shanley personally designing every last detail.
The Schwartz family had officially begun their preparations.
Over the following months.
Juniper juggled her “studies” in computer science with her “studies” in medicine.
Occasionally, Janet would even drag her over to the School of Law to act as a legal consultant.
Juniper basically turned into a human spinning top, whirling frantically all over Eclara University.
Wherever she was needed, that’s where she went.
In the blink of an eye, it was November.
The weather had turned freezing, and Juniper was completely buried under her blankets, refusing to get up.
“Didn’t

School of Medicine invited

Shanley scooped the girl into his arms
Le pressed a kiss to her
“Get up
