Chapter 226: Stunned
"I’ll take care of you, okay?" Coco hummed out, her eyes twinkling with delight.
Who knew that one of Coco Hughes’ husbands would have a house in the main city? She was so lucky! Coco thought, squeezing Zaque’s hands on her own.
But she threw all of this away the moment she decided to be a douchebag! Coco mused, smiling brightly as she pulled her hands away from Zaque’s, turning to the other mediators who were staring at her and Zaque.
"Since he wants to come with me to the main city, I’ll be borrowing Zaque in the afternoon to get a permit from Chief Salamandara." Coco said, looking straight in Heiren’s eyes.
Zaque is the first husband so he holds more power than the rest of Coco Hughes’ husbands in the house, but if Zaque is not in the picture and has something he needs to do, then Heiren will be the second person to go to.
So, Coco was directing her words to the second husband.
That’s how this kind of harem works, right? Coco thought, not wanting to be disrespectful towards the other husbands and wanting to not create a rift between the mediators who were obviously good friends.
"Why are you telling me this?" Heiren asked, his eyebrows furrowed in agitating confusion.
It was annoying for Heiren that the Coco before him has been nothing, but thoughtful and caring towards him— buying ingredients that give him and the others the nutrients they need, and ultimately buying him new appliances for the kitchen.
