Chapter 181: Receiving payment
The pair of siblings standing side by side seemed to get bashful and embarrassed after being complimented by Coco. Their faces flushed a deep red, a soft red tint colored their cheeks, a shy expression settling on their face as they tried to hide their reaction to the woman’s words, their gazes dropping down to their shoes as they shuffled awkwardly on their feet.
Neither of them knew how to react to the compliment, their words getting stuck in their throats as they attempted to respond.
They had received such attention before, but it was either lip service from other people who wanted to form connections with them so seeing someone compliment them sincerely, let alone from hardworking Coco, they were unsure how to react.
Their bashfulness was obvious, their faces red and their eyes avoiding looking in Coco’s direction.
"You two have similar face structures such as nose, eyes, and well, lips." Coco said, her voice dripping with genuine amazement as she smiled at them, "Though, the differences in personalities are large, I could still tell that you two are close."
The siblings fidgeted uncomfortably as they tried to compose themselves, their hands unconsciously playing with the fabric of their clothes as they avoided looking directly at Coco.
"It’s hard to explain, but you two do look alike!" Coco laughed, it was as if she was not annoyed at Drishti earlier because of his invasion and pushy behavior.
".. Thank you, Coco." Mrs. Tani managed to chuckle out as she reached out and patted her on the head, "I didn’t expect Coco Hughes to call me beautiful. You were so strict with your friendships that I thought I would always receive the other end of the stick."
