Chapter 224: Rocco’s Heartbreak and the Caterpillar of Despair
That day, Rocco had buried himself in a pile of cushions, transforming into a human-sized caterpillar.
Hidden beneath the layers of plush fabric, his sulking figure was completely concealed from view.
This, of course, meant that Georgio—who had been wailing for some time now, begging, "Please come out! Let me see my dear master’s adorable face!"—could not see Rocco’s expression in the slightest.
Yes, no one could see his puffed-up cheeks or the way frustration had brought tears to his eyes.
"Master... I understand that being rejected is painful, but this is already the second day. Please cheer up soon!"
"You fool...! Our master has just experienced his first heartbreak. His first taste of adolescence! He is in the midst of great turmoil! Do not be so weak-willed simply because he has been sulking for two days straight. You are failing as his guardian...!"
Rocco’s attendants were fervently debating the depth of his heartbreak and the struggles of his adolescence nearby.
Could they not discuss such things around him?
Seriously, saying words like heartbreak and rejection so casually while he was right there was cruel.
He had already cried himself into near dehydration—his poor eyes felt dry as a desert.
That said, he couldn’t stay like this forever.
