"So, how much is it?" asked Bertha in a indifferent tone. A faint wrinkle was visible between his two eyebrows.
For a moment, Ayana just fell silent there, confused.
What does it mean by 'how much does it cost'? It's impossible if you're talking about me...
But, Ayana's last question was answered when one of the well-dressed men stood up and watched Ayana from toe to head.
Under her sharp gaze, Ayana felt uneasy and chose to take two steps back, about to hide herself behind the stocky body of her foster mother.
But, the man deftly stretched out his hand and pulled Ayana's body closer.
Ayana thrashed, but her attempt to escape was dashed when she heard Bertha's curse telling her to be quiet.
"Silent son of a bitch!" while talking, Bertha gripped Ayana's shoulder so hard that it made the girl grimace in pain.
However, the second man reprimanded him in a soft voice and was impressed to not care.
"Don't get hurt, otherwise the price could go down a lot." The man warned and these words were able to make Ayana's shoulder saved from Bertha's sharp nails.
"What does that mean?" Ayana only realized that they were talking about her, or rather was 'judging' her.
Wh-wh-what for?
Although Ayana asked so, it seemed that she already knew the answer and this understanding made her body shudder.
"Not much to ask!" sergeant Bertha again. She was always like this, as if by answering Ayana's question, her time would be wasted.
Ayana flinched as soon as the man's hand, violently, touched her skin; from her face, cheeks, jaw to her neck.
"Don't touch!" yell Ayana with a huff. He brushed off the man's hand as he was about to touch Ayana's chest.
The girl stepped back, intending to run away from this brash man as well as her two foster parents who did nothing when she was about to be harassed.
It was fortunate for Ayana this time because the man no longer intended to come forward and approach the girl again.
The second man then got up from sifa and walked over, standing beside the first man. "How's it?" tanyakanya.
"He's less big" the man replied briefly.
Hearing the sentence, Ayana again gasped.
How could a man possibly say such a thing so casually?!
Without Ayana being able to avoid it, her face became hot and flushed.
seeing Ayana's natural reaction, made the second man smile meaningfully. He nodded with a satisfied facial expression.
"But, he has something else more interesting" he murmured. "Alright then, we will pay as agreed," he broke up while looking at Ayana again.
There was something inside that gaze that made Ayana completely uncomfortable, even though they were about four steps away, but Ayana felt that this man was able to strip her of her just by looking at her.
"We'll come back later tonight, just get him ready." The second man nodded at Ayana, before finally stepping away with his friend.
"Mom, what does this mean?" Ayana gulped with difficulty, unsure if she would listen to her foster mother's answer.
"From tonight on you won't be staying here anymore" Bertha said as she walked toward her husband who was still sitting on the sofa smoking a thick smoke.
"Ayan... Ayana's being returned to the institution again?" Ayana asked with a face that was hard to read.
However, there was no answer from Bertha and Timothy.
Just at that time, Ayana hoped that she could be returned to a shelter that accommodates children like herself, because she realized what illegal acts this couple would do.
