Chapter 99: A villain's perks?

"Who are you?"

Maxen frowned at the first question she had for him after not talking for months. "Only two months and two days, Cozie. And now, you can't remember me?" he repeated in a somber tone. 

Cosette gasped and blinked countless times. The more she stared, the more he looked familiar. Out of panic, Cosette jumped and plopped her butt down beside him.

"Max?" she exclaimed, making him wince and tug his earlobe. "Omg!"

Unbothered by the slight annoyance dominating his face, Cosette cupped his cheeks and forced him to look back at her. Her eyes scanned his face, gasping dramatically.

"What?" he asked, annoyed at this strange reaction from her. 

"Your fats..." came out a shaking voice on the verge of crying, looking back at him with a deep frown. "... where did your baby fats go!?"

His frown deepened, scrunching his nose up in dismay.
