"Bye."
Maxen waved Cosette from the front door, watching it speed away. A deep sigh slipped past his lips.
"She's so stubborn," he murmured, shoving his hand inside his pocket. "And cruel. Can't she just let me drop her off?"
Before the breakfast ended, Maxen kept insisting on dropping off Cosette to the school. However, she adamantly refused. It would be strange if it was others, but this was Cosette. At this point, he had grown used to how uselessly stubborn she could be at times.
Maxen shook his head mildly as he went back inside. Stopping by the door, he looked around the mess in the house.
"I want to stay with her all morning, so I cleared my morning schedule…" he grumbled, dragging his feet away back to the kitchen. He was planning to drop her off and perhaps tour the school she would be working in while he wait for lunchtime so they could have lunch together. But that plan was absolved even before it could start.
