Chapter 275: Thank you
"Are your eyes okay?" Lala asked Coco, her lips pulled into a pout, "You cried so hard back there. It worried me."
"I’m fine." Coco smiled as she reassured the garden fairy, "I just felt so grateful for Jacques and Renado, so grateful that I could not stop myself from crying."
"Was it because they are your friends?" Lala blinked, tilting her head towards Coco.
"Yes, and also, it was because they were so understanding and respectful of me. It was the first time in a while that I encountered someone who would want to ask me first before they could act." Coco hums, a small smile creeping to her lips.
"Well, since I got here at least. My sisters and mother would ask me first, but other than them, it was Jacques and Renaldo." She quickly added to her previous statement, making Lala feel guilty.
"Oh.." Lala mumbled, darting her eyes away from Coco.
Coco didn’t pay any mind to that and instead, focused her attention on her path.
She walked through the village, and it was already late at night, the streets quiet and deserted, making her the only one who’s walking down the street.
The world around her was shrouded in the soft, and suspiciously comfortable darkness of the night, the faint sounds of crickets and rustling leaves the only sounds breaking the silence.
The cool night air danced through her hair, a gentle breeze caressing her skin as she made her way along the hard path towards the village inn.
