Chapter 72

"Ow," Lorelei heard Jace whimper when it finally sunk in that they fell.

The girl instantly pulled herself away from him. She tried to catch her breath first before responding to him. "Now, look what you've done!" She distanced herself even more before standing up.  "How many times do I have to tell you?! I don't want to, okay?! And do you really think I  wanted to see your face after doing that? Who the hell would want to make peace with someone who just disregarded their months of hardwork?!"

Jace huffed and rose from the ground as well. "That's why I wanted to talk to you, but you kept running away! Damn it. Have you not thought that the file can be retrieved?!"

Lorelei blinked a couple of times with brows knitted. "Eh? Huh?"

The boy rolled his eyes. "Duh? You can retrieve it, dummy."

She swatted his arm. "Again! Stop calling me dummy or any synonym of that!"
