Chapter 29: Shocked old man
Husband? Wife? Coco blinked owlishly and stared at the old man, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
What does he mean by wife? Did he marry a beta woman and not an omega one? If Coco remembered right.. A mediator can be a man and a woman who are the only ones who can house a child inside their body.
A beta or alpha woman, in her vocabulary, is the man and woman in this world while the omegas are the mediators.
However, a male mediator is more common than a female mediator, right? Zaque told her that when she first told him that she wasn’t Coco Hughes.
Aghhh.. This is hard. The black haired girl thought, the curiosity she’s currently feeling is killing her.
I want to know if his husband and wife are mediators or not so freaking bad.. Coco wanted to ask the old man for more information, but considering that would be rude, she held herself back and simply nodded her head at him, forcing a smile on her face.
"I’m glad to know that I cheered you up, sir." Coco stated, glancing at the sack of seeds, "As much as I want to stay, I need to go out before the sun comes up."
The old man perked up, as if he just realized something exciting and important, "Oh, goodness me! I’m sorry for keeping you here for so long, child. Let me just get what you need inside the store."
The old man straightened his back to the best of his ability and started to walk towards the door, but stopped in the doorway and turned back to her, "Just lettuce and radish, child?"
