Ignoring Merlin Edvin, Dodo just sat on the bed.
She had observed that when Merlin Edvin didn't want to tease her, he could behave very politely and rationally.
However, once she started sparking things up, all hell would break loose.
"Why do you always pick on me?" Dodo asked Merlin Edvin. "Why do you always play these so-called jokes on me? Why don't you go play with Nigel Clegg?"
Upon hearing Dodo's words, Merlin Edvin, who was facing away from her, paused.
He then turned his head around, a wicked smile on his face. "Because... you react in a more interesting way."
"Oh? And what exactly is so interesting?" Merlin Edvin's facial expression was already enough to infuriate Dodo, but she still tried her best to stay calm.
Merlin Edvin continued tidying up the wardrobe, with his back turned on her.
