Chapter 47: Start of her tendencies
Coco’s emerald eyes met the first husband’s red ones, a look of confusion in his face with his eyebrows furrowed deeply as he looked at the old woman, at her face, and at the bag on her hand which was filled with vegetables.
"Zaque! Did you come here to fetch your wife?" The old woman asked, a playful and teasing tone in her voice.
Half of the village population knows how much of a trash Coco Hughes is and how abusive she was to her husbands so with the old woman asking that, she basically just brushed off the abuse Zaque and the other husbands went through.
All because of what? Coco bringing monster meats and fruits from the forest?
Zaque frowned, his eyebrows furrowing deeper as he turned away from the old woman. How dare she? How dare she say that when Zaque is in her presence?
Coco could sense the sudden twist in the air so she immediately grabbed Zaque’s wrist, gently and weakly, and looked at her, nodding her head before dragging Zaque out of there.
The old woman was the cause of the negativity on the first husband’s bad mood after all.
Suddenly getting dragged away, warmth spreading on his wrist because of another person’s hand wrapped around his delicate wrist— Zaque could only let Coco drag him out of the market, his eyes glued to the hand of his wife.
They might have rejected Coco Hughes before because they didn’t want Coco to bed them, but that doesn’t mean that Coco Hughes herself didn’t reject them.
