Chapter 262

I might be heading to Whaldorf City tonight and won’t be able to accompany you any longer. Help me take care of Cecilia these few days if you're not going to leave yet."

"Holy sh*t, how dare you! You made me come back here, and you're running off now? Then what am I supposed to stay here for?!" Jerome's reaction was a little over the top as he stared at me.
