New World with Four Husbands-Chapter 182: For them

"That’s what you’re worried about?" Drishti shot back with a snarl, "Shouldn’t you be cautious around me because I was sent by your mother?"

Coco stared at him for a second, mind racing with thoughts and questions.

Should she be worried that Baroness Hughes, Coco’s mother, sent three people for the past couple of weeks to spy on her?

Coco raised a hand to her face and held her chin.

Baroness Hughes disowned Coco Hughes because she became a disappointment after the Baroness found out that she has a nasty temper and was abusive towards the mediators married to her.

Even though she was the one who accepted the mediators to be married to Coco, as a payment for their parents’ debt to the noblewoman, and had the wedding planned as soon as they arrived at the Hughe County— where the wedding happened.

From what Coco could remember, Coco and Zaque got married in the church in the main city with an archbishop overseeing their wedding.

On the other hand, Heiren and Alhai got married to her in Hughe County, where a small church was built, and had a bishop travel to the county to oversee her wedding with the two mediators.

Quizen got married to her with just a pastor somewhere in the main city before Coco got sent to Yogusho Village for the honeymoon with her four mediators.

It was supposed to be just a honeymoon, but since Coco decided to act out and become a trash, she ended up getting abandoned by her mother and got removed from the will of the Hughes family.

It must have been a shock for Coco Hughes because she became even more violent. Coco thought to herself and shifted her gaze to the floor.

She deserves it, but letting that anger out to the husbands isn’t the best way to cope with it. She added to her train of thoughts, pulling her hand away from her chin and let out a sigh, scratching the back of her head.

Anger be damned. No one deserves to get beaten up for someone else’s fault. Coco finished her inner musings and dragged her gaze back to Drishti.

"You were right about her sending a spy in this village, but it was only just one." Coco said, putting her hand down and staring blankly at the mediator, "The other one is too young to be one and to be frank, I don’t care who she sends here."

Drishti huffed and eyed Coco warily.

"She disowned me because I was worse than trash, but instead of disciplining me or taking away my husbands, she did nothing." Coco returned the wary stare Drishti shot her and raised an eyebrow while she was at it.

"If she wants to know if I changed for the better and wants to take me back in, then I would love to receive an apology from her first." Coco stated, a serious look on her face.

"An apology?" Drishti blinked and looked shocked for a moment, but then, he bursted out laughing.

"An apology? From the Baroness? To you?" The tone the mediator used was condescending and obnoxious, the tone itself giving what he thinks of her away.

"Drishti." Mrs. Tani spoke up, her voice giving him a warning, "This is not the behavior befitting of a noble."

"So is her behavior!" Drishti snapped and pointed an accusing finger on Coco, "Why would she expect an apology from her mother when she was the one who did something wrong?! The audacity!"

Coco chuckled when she realized that Drishti mistook her words for asking for an apology from her mother, the Baroness.

"She’s laughing! Is that behavior befitting of a noble?!" Drishti hissed.

"I think you misunderstood what I meant." Coco laughed quietly as she shook her head, "I don’t want an apology for myself. I know that I was wrong, you know? But you see, my husbands did not deserve to get abandoned like that with a monster."

"Coco, you’re not a mons—" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"But I was." Coco said, smiling at the merchant with a small smile on her face, "I was a monster then, but I made sure that I changed."

"Again, I don’t want an apology from my mother because she disowned me." Coco turned away from Mrs. Tani and looked at Drishti, "I want her to apologize for abandoning those lovely and thoughtful mediators with her piece of shit of a daughter."

Coco saw how Mrs. Tani and Drishti flinched, their faces twisting into a grimace.

Oops, it seems like my words were too vulgar for nobles like them. Coco thought to herself, the corner of her lips curling up higher as she smiled wider.

But I did not lie. Coco backed her own thoughts with another, chuckling under her breath as she kept her eyes on them.

"The apologies are not for me, but for Zaque, Heiren, Alhai, and Quizen— the mediators who have been nothing, but dutiful husbands in the worst times of my life." Coco said, turning away from them.

"So, again, I don’t care whether she sends one spy, two, three, four, or ten." Coco hummed softly and spun in her heels, "Because those spies won’t do shit to me."

"Coco.." Mrs. Tani mumbled, her eyebrows furrowed in worry.

"It’s okay, Mrs. Tani." Coco looked at the merchant over her shoulders with a reassuring smile, "I’m merely telling your brother that my husbands deserves the best after everything they went through."

"I’m so sorry." The merchant apologized, her voice dripping with guilt as she frowned, "I didn’t know that he was sent here by your mother."

"It’s fine." Coco said and started walking through the entryway towards the shop, "I don’t mind either way."

"No, you deserve to know." The merchant insisted and followed behind her, "My father told me that Drishti would be here for a week because he needed a break—"

Coco stopped walking and turned to the merchant. "It’s really okay.

"But—"

"I only said those words for them, not for me."
