Chương 102: I did a good job

"If you date him, I'll date someone else… maybe, fuck her too, while I'm at it."

Maxen kept his straight face, looking at Cosette dead in the eye. He was serious, and he wanted her to know that. 

"If you need my opinion, my answer will always be the same. Don't date anyone," he repeated solemnly. "But if you don't need it, do what you want to do. Date whoever you wanted; it's your life and your decision."

Silence instantly befell the two of them, looking at each other in silence. Cosette bit her tongue, finding her lost voice.

"If I date, you will also date?" she asked for clarification. 

"I will if I feel like it. Don't think it was because of you. No, it's not. I just think there's no reason for me to keep holding on to someone who is happier with another person," he explained, trying his best to keep it as simple and clear.
