"Hmph!"

Dropping that single scoff, she spun on her heel and started to walk away. She wasn't about to put up with his attitude.

"Juniper." Shanley immediately dropped the cleaver, chasing after her and wrapping his arms tightly around her from behind. "I'm mad."

"Tsk." She let him hold her, the corners of her lips curling up slightly. "You're so petty."

"Petty?" His dark brows furrowed fiercely as he muttered, "If I had kissed another girl when I was thirteen, how would you react?!"

"Hmm?" She turned around in his arms, blinking her clear, bright eyes as she demanded coldly, "Shanley Schwartz, have you kissed other girls?"

His body went rigid, realizing he had practically dug his own grave. He frantically tried to explain, "I haven't kissed anyone else! I was just making a hypothetical point..."

"Hypothetical?" Her gaze grew even colder as she glared at him angrily. "Got it. You want to kiss other girls."

Shanley: "???"

Was that what he meant?!

Wait a second.

How did he end up being the bad guy in this situation?!

Just as the tension hit its peak...

Dana cautiously crept out from a corner holding the device, offering a nervous little chuckle. "Ms. Payne, I found the phone."

"Thank you, Dana."

She snatched the phone, shoved it against his chest, and gave him a hard shove. "Let go of me. Now I'm angry, too."

He stubbornly refused to release his grip, his voice low and incredibly gravelly. "Because I used a hypothetical example about kissing another girl?"

She blinked, then gave a firm, exaggerated nod.

"But you actually kissed a pretty boy!" he accused in deep displeasure.

Completely lost, she puffed up her cheeks and glared at him. "When have I ever kissed a pretty boy?!"

He immediately opened the email app on the phone, scrolling straight down to the specifically labeled video.

[Baby Nocturne Kissing a Pretty Boy]

Juniper: "???"

What the hell was that?

Why didn't she have any memory of doing something so shameless?

Besides, if she actually had it in her to do something like that, how would Shanley have ever stood a chance?

Michelle wouldn't just label something like that for no reason.

"Let me see it first."

Blinking guiltily, she tapped on the "Kissing a Pretty Boy" video.

And then, the two of them completely froze, staring at the screen in utter, speechless disbelief.

In the video, she was holding a baby who looked to be about six months old.

The baby had porcelain skin and massive, round blue eyes, beaming up at her with a gummy, joyous smile. Her heart had completely melted and she couldn't resist planting a kiss right on his chubby little cheek.

This was what Michelle meant by...

Kissing?

A pretty boy?!

Looking closer, she realized the video's label was in English.

Something had clearly been lost in translation.

"Here."

She shoved the screen back in his face, her red lips parting as she scoffed, "Are you out of your mind?

Youlte actually

"If we have a son in the future, am I not allowed to kiss him either?!"

Have a son?

"Shh!"

He frantically covered her mouth, his expression turning terrifyingly serious as he coaxed her gently. "Be good. Let's not say something se horrifying!"

"A daughter. I want a daughter who is exactly as beautiful and adorable as you!"

"Did you and Jimmie coordinate this?"

She pushed his hand away with a cold laugh. "Total girl-dads, the both of you?!"

"He wants a daughter, too?" He frowned slightly.

Great minds really did think alike.

"Yeah." She smirked, dragging out her words lazily. "The way I see it, the two of you would make a great couple."

Shanley was speechless.

*Do you even hear the words coming out of your mouth?!*
