Chapter 174: Who they want
"There they go." Renaldo commented and closed the door.
Renaldo found Jonathan’s anxious demeanor completely and utterly adorable, unable to help but feel a sense of protectiveness towards the mediator.
It was as if Jonathan’s vulnerability made him even more endearing and Renaldo found himself wanting to be the one to comfort and protect him— to assure him that he means no harm.
He watched Jonathan’s every movement, taking in the way he fidgeted and the way he kept glancing at Coco with a mixture of nervousness and pleading.
Seeing that, Renaldo found himself wanting to reach out and reassure him even more, to make him feel comfortable and at ease.
"My wife." Renaldo turned around and looked at Jacques who had been quiet the whole time he was talking to Coco and Jonathan, "What are your thoughts about our dearest Coco’s new friend?"
When Renaldo walked inside the shop and saw Jonathan, he couldn’t help but find Jonathan’s appearance worrying.
However, after a few exchanges with him, he found out that Jonathan was like a scared puppy, wide-eyed and seemingly on edge.
Every movement and facial expression made Renaldo want to grab him and tuck him inside of his pocket.
