Chapter 829 Secret Romance

In the downtown open-air parking lot.

Juniper got into the car, her rosy lips opening and closing, constantly saying, "It's so hot, I'm going to evaporate."

"I could have picked you up from your house, why come all the way here?" Anthony busily wiped the sweat off her face with a tissue.

"If my dad saw you, he'd nag me again, and he might not even let me out. You know, to him, you're very dangerous for me right now."

"I told him I was going shopping with a female friend today, but he probably knows and just didn't call me out on it. He can't control me anyway, so he just doesn't say anything. As long as you don't come directly to my place, it's fine." Juniper said a lot in one breath.

"Did you miss me?" she asked with a smile, her eyes curved.

Anthony's response was to pull her into his arms and give her a deep, passionate kiss, not missing a single spot.

In the end, both of them were blushing and panting, "What do you think? Did I miss you?"

Juniper's face was flushed, "I missed you too."

When they were in Libertonia, they stuck together every minute outside of work hours. 

Now, they had been apart for almost a whole day and hadn't spent the night together, driving them nearly crazy with longing.

"I really want to stay out with you tonight."

Juniper was tempted and almost agreed, but she managed to restrain herself in time.

"Given the current situation, we should stay put. Whether it's you or me staying out, our families will know who we're with and won't be happy."

Anthony was both amused and exasperated, "Why does it feel like we're sneaking around like students having a secret romance? It's like we're going backward."

"Isn't that great? It makes up for what you missed." Juniper said with a smile.

"Make up for what I missed?"

"Yeah, just look at you. You were definitely a goody-two-shoes who never dated in school, right?"

"Yeah, all my energy was focused on studying back then."

"I knew it. So now I'm making it up to you, letting you experience what it's like to sneak around under parental supervision."

Anthony raised an eyebrow and teased, "Sounds like you had a lot of secret romances?"

Juniper patted her chest proudly, "Of course, I was quite the catch. Lots of guys chased after me. Not dating would have been a loss for them."

"Oh? How many times did you date? Be honest."

"Not that many, just a dozen or so."

"That many?"

"Why? Jealous?" Juniper stifled a laugh.

"Yeah, while I was studying diligently, my future wife was dating other guys. How could I not be jealous?" Anthony looked genuinely upset.

"Haha, still jealous after all this time? Anthony, you're too... too cute. Hahaha..." Juniper couldn't help but pinch his cheek, "Still pouting, really?"

"Why not? Of course, I am jealous." Anthony slapped her leg lightly.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Even though I'm a beauty, I'm also a top student. So, I didn't date in school either. My first time was in college, with that jerk Douglas!"

Anthony looked even more displeased, "He was your first love?"

"No, he was my first mistake."

"So, he was your first love!"

"Mistake," Juniper corrected, "I gave you the most important part of me, and you're still jealous? That's unreasonable."

Anthony covered her lips again, but this time he bit gently and murmured, "You're mine, all mine."

Up close, his gaze was even more intense, making Juniper feel weak from head to toe.

She loved his domineering side.

Anthony quickly returned to his gentle self, rubbing her head, "What do you want to eat?"

"Let's go to Urban Eats. I haven't had their food in ages, and I'm craving it."

"Alright. Whatever you want to eat." Anthony started the car.

After arriving downstairs, Anthony dropped Juniper off and went to find a parking spot.

Juniper went upstairs alone and found a seat by the window.

As soon as she sat down, she started drooling over the menu, thinking about what to order.

"Isn't this Juniper? When did you get back without telling me? That's not very loyal."

That voice... Could it be? 

Juniper turned around and sure enough, it was Ronnie, with a curly-haired beauty in his arms, who looked at her with some hostility.

"It really is you. When did you get back? Why didn't you let me know so I could pick you up? That's not cool." Ronnie let go of the beauty and came over enthusiastically.

"I just got back yesterday. I didn't want to trouble you."

"What are you talking about? Seeing you makes me so happy. How could it be trouble?"

"Ronnie, who is she?" the beauty asked jealously, clinging to Ronnie.

"My ex-girlfriend."

"Can you stop talking nonsense? Who's your ex-girlfriend?" Juniper quickly distanced herself.

"We've kissed, hugged, and even slept together. How is that not an ex-girlfriend?"

"That was—" Juniper couldn't deny it, but it was a completely different situation.

Ronnie looked a bit smug, "What? Can't say anything? Still saying you're not my ex-girlfriend?"

"Ronnie, your ex-girlfriend is her? Your taste isn't that great..." the beauty said deliberately.

"What are you talking about? Juniper is a beauty."

"Sorry, miss, I didn't mean it that way."

Juniper didn't get angry; she slowly smiled, "You're right, his taste isn't great, it's getting worse."

She added, "Ronnie, your taste is getting lower. You only look at faces and chests. Can't you find someone with brains?"

"Are you saying I have no brains?" The beauty immediately got upset, "Ronnie, why is she so mean? I was so polite. Saying others have no brains, I think she... she's just bitter because you dumped her and she's jealous of me."

"You got it wrong. He didn't dump me; I didn't fancy him back then, so we became friends." Juniper said with a slow smile.

The beauty gritted her teeth and clung to Ronnie even more proudly, treating him as her trophy, completely in a winner's posture. Just as she was about to retort...

"I had a hard time finding a parking spot. Sorry to keep you waiting." Anthony walked over and pinched Juniper's cheek.

The beauty's face showed an expression a hundred times more shocked than seeing an alien, "You—you're Mr. Eilish?"

"Mr. Eilish is your boyfriend?"
