Chapter 202: A talk after the silence [2]
"You can’t do that, Zaque." Heiren mumbled, his eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes, I can." Zaque stated bluntly and crossed his arms, "I said it very clearly that I want her babies inside me so all of you can’t do anything about it— besides, you don’t want her, right? I can enjoy the attention I’ll get from her."
Alhai felt his blood pressure going up as he listened further to Zaque’s words, not expecting such betrayal from the person he considered as a friend.
How could he? After all this time? After all the hard times the four of them went through together?
"So? Is she worth it? For you to just throw away the bond we built for the last three years?" Alhai frowned, his heart throbbing.
He can’t believe that the first ever friend he made would throw their friendship away just for a woman who claimed that she was someone else— the same woman who had mistreated them without a care.
"I’m not throwing away the bond we have." Zaque’s eyes softened ever so slightly as he looked at Alhai, "But that very bond was the only thing that’s stopping me to pursue her."
Zaque felt his heart getting squeezed by something at how pained Alhai, Heiren, and Quizen looked right now.
"I pushed the desire to befriend Coco because the three of you don’t want me to." Zaque stood straight and tightened his crossed arms, almost like he was hugging himself to protect himself from harm.
