"Are you still angry?"
Joel Russo: "…Don't let me hear those jokes again!"
"If I don't tell them, you won't be angry anymore, right?"
Joel looked at her, easily seeing through her little scheme.
Using cold jokes to threaten him?
With a sinister smile, he suddenly stood up and picked her up as well.
Arabella gasped, "What are you doing?"
"Letting you know what's truly deadly."
Arabella shook her head, "No, no need, I've already experienced it firsthand, no need to know more."
Joel chuckled, "There's something even deadlier."
Arabella paused, then started struggling in his arms, "I don't want that, if you act shamelessly, I'll continue telling you cold jokes!"
Joel's tall figure shook subtly.
He really couldn't imagine what that scenario would look like.
On one hand... telling cold jokes…
…
It seemed like both were holding their ground, evenly matched, unwilling to give in.
But ultimately, it was proven that Arabella was slightly outmatched by Joel in some aspects.
