I Refuse To Be A Character In A Novel - Chapter 49 Part 2

“The young master has to review his lessons for tomorrow’s classes.”

Although her tone was polite, the gaze on Erna, sitting on the piano bench alongside Jonas, held a sense of hostility.

“I understand.”

Instead of Erna, it was Jonas who spoke first.

He came down from his seat following Catherine’s words and walked straight towards her.
