Chapter 209: Debt paid
"Looks like you’re having fun."
Coco was staring at the candy in her hand, her gaze fixed on the sweet and sour looking treat, when she heard a familiar deep voice behind her.
She froze, her body tensing at the sound, her heart rate increasing as she recognized the sound.
She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was, the deep timbre of his voice sending a familiar shiver down her spine— the kind that takes her by surprise.
She sat upright, frozen and quiet, her hand holding the candy trembling slightly, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions as she prepared herself to face the mediator behind her.
I didn’t know that one of them would be able to talk to me after what I told them this morning. Coco thought to herself, her eyebrows furrowed in shock as she inhaled.
"Go away! Can’t you see that Coco is busy? Shoo! Go back to the stage where you belong! You’re not invited here!" The garden fairy exclaimed, shuffling in her spot on Coco’s hair and glaring at the mediator who had approached her.
"What is this thing saying, Coco?" The mediator behind her asked, the tone of his voice slightly agitated, "All I hear is a bell ringing. To think that Zaque understood this thing.."
"Wha?! How dare you call me a ’thing’, you good for nothing husband of the bad Coco!" Lala hissed, stomping her foot on Coco’s head.
