Chapter 126: Quarrel
Coco and Zaque froze when they heard someone speaking somewhere in the stairs.
"Alhai." Zaque said, acknowledging the third husband and proceeded to pick up a slice of bread to start spreading some chocolate on it for Coco, "Come and join us."
"Why is she here again?" He narrowed his eyes towards Coco and descended the stairs, "I thought she leaves early in the morning to go to the mountain? It’s almost breakfast time for everyone, but she’s still here, being friendly with you."
"I’m waiting for Heiren to wake up." Coco decided to answer the questions herself since she has a mouth that works fine, "I was not careful enough in my hunt yesterday and got hurt, Heiren volunteered to clean my wounds for me."
"So, he’s delaying your departure?" Alhai raised an eyebrow, the usual glare returning to his face.
"No, not really." Coco smiled at him and tilted her head, "I’m not planning to go to the mountain today, I catched two monsters yesterday so I don’t have to catch anything today, I have fruits planted somewhere in the forest and I could just go there to harvest them."
Alhai’s hands balled into fists by his side, his eyebrows furrowing in annoyance at how cheeky the answer was.
"I see." He grunted out and turned away, "Good for you, having not to worry what to do for today when you still haven’t paid off your debt."
Coco’s right eye twitched, the taunting of the man before her working a little.
