บท 249: Sometimes, being polite can backfire.

"Who the hell…?" Luke trailed off upon seeing Ezekiel turn his head in their direction. He raised a brow when he saw how Ezekiel's eyes and face lit up. 

"Cozie!" 

Luke's expression instantly turned grim, while Maxen's brows furrowed slightly. Meanwhile, Remo, who was standing right beside Luke, cocked his head to the side. The three of them watched Ezekiel jog in their direction until he was standing in front of Cosette. 

Her expression was blank, obviously not pleased seeing this unwanted person in this story!

"Cozie —" Just as Ezekiel took another step closer to her, Luke automatically stepped in and blocked his path.

"Oy." Luke raised his chin as if he was looking for a fight, making Ezekiel lift his gaze because Cosette was a little shorter than him. "Who the hell are you?"

Ezekiel blinked and then smiled. "You're the second young master Quinn?"

"Huh?" Luke's already arched brow raised even more, looking up and down at Ezekiel.
