Chapter 171: He was fine

The next day…

Since Maxen stayed over at Luke's place, Cosette had to travel all alone to school for the first time in a long time. But Conrad, for obvious reasons, offered to give his daughter a ride to school.

In the past, Cosette would only ask him to drop her at the bus stop. But since their talk last night, she didn't ask for such a thing and stayed as the driver drove past her usual stop.

"I thought Maxen returned last night." Conrad broke the stifling silence dominating the backseat.

"He stayed out," she muttered, glancing to his side. "Luke ran away from home and Maxen was worried since the second young master Quinn rented a place near the school. The area and the place are far different from what Luke grew up in, so Maxen was worried."

Conrad arched a brow as his eyes fell on her. "The second young master Quinn did?"

"Mhm… He looked determined."
