Chapter 284: Last minute reveal
"Be careful." Coco grumbled, catching Jacques.
Konoha had jumped off her arms just in time for Jacques’ body to crash into her arms, her pupils dilating in annoyance as she whisked her head away from Coco’s direction.
"Surprise!" Jacques smiled and laughed quietly, "Renaldo can’t come to see you off, unfortunately, but it’s okay because I’m here. I don’t want to stay at the shop knowing that I didn’t see you off."
Coco’s expression softened, a small smile creeping to her lips. "How thoughtful."
"No, I’m just loving you." Jacques hummed out and tightened her arms around Coco a little before she let go, "Anyway, Joachim and I took it upon ourselves to pack some food for you and your husbands. I hope you don’t mind."
Coco’s heart skipped a beat, swelling and racing in her chest from how grateful and loveable she felt.
I’m so lucky to have her. Coco thought, her hand squeezing Jacques’ hand as she got yanked towards the crowd of guards a meter away from them.
Coco caught the sight of Joachim pointing his fingers on particular crates, telling orders to the guards as they scrambled to get the tasks done— afraid that they will make the pink haired mediator mad.
"Jo, give them a break." Jacques chastised her twin brother, sighing heavily.
The two of them approached the mediator and almost immediately, Joachim turned around and brightened up, his eyes landing on Coco.
"Coco!" Joachim exclaimed and lunged forward, throwing himself on Coco’s arms.
Coco was quick to let go of Jacques’ hand and spread her arms just in time for Joachim to fall, catching him before he could slide off her arms.
