章節 388: Should I quit?

Cosette tried her best to forget the feeling that crept under her skin moments ago. Silly, she thought. When she wanted to forget things, she couldn't. However, her brain would erase everything for a moment or simply not allow her to remember certain parts of her memory. 

"This is good…!" Maxen showed her a thumbs up as he gobbled up the food his wife made for him. "I told you I'm starving…"

Cosette watched him eat to his heart's content, offering him warm smiles from time to time and reminding him to chew slowly. Even though he was intimidating in front of others, Maxen could be so silly within the comforts of their home. In other words, Cosette was the only person who knew this side of him. 

"I remember the last time, dad was trying to trade my lunch box with an island in the eastern continent…" Maxen trailed off as he lifted his eyes back to her, only to catch her not touching her food. Cosette was just staring at him with a conflicted look in her eyes.
