Chapter 96: A summer well spent

"Let's date, Cosette Blac."

Cosette stared at Asher blankly before her head cocked to the side. For a moment, she questioned her ear for deceiving her, but because of the look in his eyes, there was no way she heard him incorrectly.

"Haha..." came out a chuckle, sprawling her hand over the chabudai, and touching his forehead. He frowned at her action, seeing that she wasn't taking him seriously when it took him a lifetime of arrogance to propose that idea. 

"Stop it." He slapped her hand away mildly. 

"Wow... there's a limit to how you tease me, Young Master Quinn."

"I'm not teasing you," he breathed out, impatience apparent in his tone. "I am serious, Cosette. Let's date."

This time, Cosette looked at him in dismay. Her eyes bobbed, examining him carefully. If this was before, she would slightly panic, but no. After two months of constant interaction with this guy, Cosette was aware this had nothing to do with feelings or whatnot.
