Bab 131: I just don't want to be alone

Maxen tossed and turn on the bed, trying to get some sleep. However, no matter how long he had his eyes closed, he couldn't fall asleep. The look in Cosette's eyes would hover over his head repeatedly, forcing Maxen to sit up in frustration.

Knowing he wouldn't sleep in this state, Maxen decided to take a quick shower to clear his head. And so he did. 

As Maxen walked out of the bath, wearing just a robe, to the bed, he heard a faint knock on the door. He stopped drying his hair, letting the towel rest over his head.

"Who could it be?" he wondered, furrowing his brows. It was already three in the morning, so Maxen was a bit baffled about who and what was the purpose of this sudden disturbance. To get the answer, Maxen sauntered towards the door and opened it without a second hesitation. 

The second Maxen opened the door, his pupils dilated as soon as his eyes fell on the person standing outside.
