Chapter 281: Bothered?

Maxen had been strange throughout the rest of the weekend. Cosette couldn't point it out exactly, but she could feel something was up. 

"Oy." Cosette flinched when Luke suddenly snapped his finger in front of her. She turned her head to him, raising a brow.

"Cozie, are you really that ruthless?" he asked out of nowhere, leaning against his desk with his arms folded on top of it. "What will you do if Maxen melts in your salacious gazes?"

Her expression died, reminding herself she just visited the temple yesterday with her grandparents. Hence, she should let the goodness in her take charge instead of violence. 

"Luke, if you're that bored, just bother Remo." Cosette jerked her chin in Remo's direction. The latter was peacefully reading something — probably studying since Remo had many lessons to catch up on.
