New World with Four Husbands-Chapter 550: Comforting Coco

When Coco and Alhai stepped out of the bathroom, Coco was in Alhai’s arms.

Heiren, Quizen, and Kairo paused what they were doing on the table to look at Coco’s state, but when they saw that her eyes were red and puffy..

"What happened there?" Heiren asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

The silver haired mediator didn’t answer right away and opted to trudge his way over to the bed before gently placing Coco on top of her soft mattress.

Alhai tucked Coco inside and was about to step away when he felt a tug on the sleeve of his bathrobe, causing him to pause in the middle of his step and look down on his wrist.

Coco’s hand was gripping his robe tightly, but her face was buried in her pillows.

Alhai’s face softened slightly and didn’t think twice to join her in the bed, the bed frame creaking under their weight and making him bounce as he scoot closer to Coco.

"Take a bath, all of you." Alhai instructed, tilting his head with a frown.

"What?" Quizen asked, displeased at the fact that he can’t hold Coco in his arms after a long day of yearning for her.

"You’re dirty while our wife is squeaky clean." The third husband pointed out, his teal colored irises squinting into a glare. "You’ll either take a bath to get into the bed or go back to your room and cry about it all night."

Quizen gasped at that, shocked at the third husband’s audacity.

"Alhai is right." Zaque spoke up and let out a deep sigh. "Me and Kairo just finished changing the covers. We don’t want any one of us to dirty it when Coco barely slept on it, no?"

Heiren nodding his head in agreement. "True, so it would be best to clean ourselves first."

"Ugh, fine." Quizen grumbled and was the first to walk out of Coco’s room, all the while stomping his feet hard on the floor.

"He’s so childish." Alhai mumbled, shaking his head.

"Let him be." Zaque said with a sigh. "Anyway, I’ll take a quick bath and will be back. Make sure to keep Coco warm while we’re gone."

"You don’t have to tell me twice." Alhai stated bluntly, shifting in his spot on Coco’s bed and reached his arm around Coco’s waist, clutching her hip and pulling her close. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Kairo was quick to look away from the couple, his heart clenching at the sight.

"I’ll excuse myself for the night." Kairo said with a bow of his head. "Call for me if there’s anything I can do to help."

The purple eyed mediator immediately turned in his heels and rushed to the door.

"Wait, Kairo." Zaque called, causing the mediator to stop walking, his hand freezing on top of the door handle before turning his head to look at the first husband.

"Yes?" Kairo answered, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

Zaque and Heiren exchanged a glance, their eyes seeking each other’s approval for what Zaque is about to ask of Kairo.

Heiren nodded and smiled, turning to Kairo. "Take a bath and come back here."

Kairo perked up, his eyes widening.

"It’s just for tonight." Zaque interjected quickly to not make the situation awkward for all of them. "I’m pretty sure Coco will want your company as well."

The woman in question was too deep into her loud thoughts to hear Zaque’s words, her hand reaching out to Alhai and gripping his bathrobe tightly as she pulled him close to her.

Alhai didn’t fight back and let Coco lay on her back before he got pulled on top of her.

It was an awkward position— one that looked like he’s crushing her under his weight, but with the happy sound that Coco let out, Alhai couldn’t find it himself to pull away.

Alhai was eavesdropping on Zaque’s, Kairo’s, and Heiren’s conversation when Coco pulled him close.

He’s not entirely possessive of Coco and wants her all to himself, but that doesn’t mean that he will let Kairo be alone with her.

"Just be quick, you three." Alhai called over his shoulder, his head awkwardly pressed against Coco’s pillow. "I don’t think you’ll like what you will see if you take your time in the bath."

"How dare you?!" Zaque gasped, the sound that escaped his lips would make one assume that Alhai was doing something scandalous.

"I’m not kidding." Alhai grunted out and craned his neck over to his shoulder to look at Zaque, his forearms pressed on the mattress. "Our wife wants someone to cuddle so hurry up."

Zaque, Kairo, and Heiren immediately left the room after that which made Alhai chuckle.

Then, he turned his attention back to Coco and found her eyebrows furrowed tightly together, her eyes glossy with unshed tears.

"Sorry.." Coco murmured, her grip on the back of his robe tightening. "But don’t leave me alone for now, please.. The voices are a little too loud tonight for some reason.."

Alhai’s lips parted, but no words came out.

Instead, he shifted on his position and rolled over to his back before grabbing Coco, putting her on top of him.

"Don’t ever apologize." Alhai stated, his eyes staring intently at Coco’s emerald irises. "You were never a burden or trouble for me, for Heiren, for Zaque, for Quizen, for Kairo, and for your friends."

Coco could only stare back at his eyes and finally, her tears fell.

Alhai’s body went rigid at the sight of those droplets and without thinking, he pulled her down and wrapped his arms around her torso.

This wasn’t the first time when he saw her cry, but just like the first time, it felt like he was being stabbed by a thousand sharp knives straight to his heart.

"It’s alright, Coco." Alhai muttered, his hand caressing the back of Coco’s head.

Comforting Coco might not be an easy frat because he doesn’t know what’s hurting her, but he will make sure that they will do their best to make a smile appear on her face.
