"Why wouldn't I? Maxen's achievements were mine, just like how my papa's achievements were mine to celebrate. It makes me happy."
Cosette then gazed back at Conrad and smiled warmed at him. "Thank you for giving him opportunities, Papa."
"Maxen is a good and bright child. Even without my help, I'm certain he would excel in the field he will choose."
Cosette just smiled but said nothing further. If only her father knew how wrong and right he was. He was right that Maxen would excel in the field he chose, but he was wrong that there would be other opportunities for Maxen if Conrad didn't step in.
"Now, I feel reassured," said Cosette with a grin, making Conrad knit his brows.
"Reassured for?"
"That he will not become a villain!" she replied in a humorous tone, making Conrad chuckle as he deemed it as a joke and not something he should take seriously.
