uhh she should've said something like, "hm.. if you continue to follow me then I'll forgive you" so like, he could've acted out he was sorry for what he done and get BETTER CHARACTER ARC where he trys to idk be nicer and idk change his attitude towards literally everyone while somewhat bring rude and this would've given time for adele to use him and explore on him instead of the good old, "I'm in a hurry, I'll forgive u" yk
