Chapter 546

After pausing for a moment, she whipped out her phone, switched it to handwriting mode, and handed it over to him. "If talking's not your thing, just write it down.

He kept writing on the phone: And you're still standing firm on your stance.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. I'm sorry, okay?" It was just an apology, not a life-or-death situation.
