"What?!" Lala gasped loudly, peeking her head out of Coco’s hair to look at the man before her human friend, "He’s married?!"
Same, Lala.. Same.. Coco thought, agreeing with the garden fairy’s startled reaction.
"Your wife?" Coco asked, forcing a smile on her face and clearing her throat, "May I know who she is? Was she one of the people I have interacted with for the past few days?"

The man nodded, a small pleased smile on his face upon watching Coco’s reaction.
