"I'm sorry, I did not handle this situation well, and I realize it now," he said. "From now on, I'll listen to you first about everything. You must be right, so the next time there's a disagreement, you won't have to get angry—I'll just punch myself. How does that sound?"
Mallia's outburst was just a cover, so when she saw that Edward had not noticed her little antics, she naturally took advantage of the situation to reconcile.
"Well, since you're so sincerely apologizing, I'll forgive you!" she said.
Because Edward's hand was still on Mallia's face, she simply twisted her face and lightly pecked his hand with her lips.
An electric current surged, and Edward felt his entire body melt.
"Alright, let's drive faster!" she urged.
George Flack anxiously waited for Mallia's reply, but she didn't message him again; probably because Edward was by her side, she couldn't text.
