Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 468
Chapter 468: Do You Really Not Like Lea?
Elvis’ voice was shaking in the rhythm of his heartbeat.
Gu Mengmeng’s temperament slowly simmered down with every “love you” he said. It was only when he realised Gu Mengmeng was no longer struggling nor had any intentions to push him away that he carefully created some distance. Elvis got even more flustered as he watched her tears fall like raindrops, kissing her tears and feeling like knives were stabbing at his heart.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry… I don’t know what to do once you start crying. I promise I will never lie to you again, don’t cry…”
Gu Mengmeng raised her beautiful weeping face and looked at Elvis, “Lying is definitely wrong, but you were secretly planning on opening a back door for someone else from the moment we mated, which is even more wrong. How little must you have cared about me, that you were willing to create such opportunities for other males?”
Elvis shook his head, “No, it isn’t like that, Xiao Meng.”
Gu Mengmeng completely did not give Elvis any opportunity to explain herself, only continuing, “Yes, Lea is your close brother, you all have many years of emotional foundation, couldn’t you have just told me that you couldn’t watch him die in the cold outside? Am I so heartless that I would watch him die without doing anything? If you had told me directly, would I have blocked you from letting him in?”
Helpless, Elvis replied, “Since the end result would be the same… just don’t be angry.”
Gu Mengmeng roared, “Is it the damned same for you to call your brother into the cave to hide from the wind, and for me to call my boyfriend into the house while my husband fainted?”
Elvis shook his head frantically, “Not the same not the same…”
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath, wiping her tears, “Since you never loved me that much anyway, I’ll leave with my sons the moment we’re back in Saint Nazaire. Since you like Lea so much, you can continue living your life with him.”
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng back in his arms the moment he heard her express her will to leave, “I don’t like Lea, he annoys me so much… really… he really annoys me, I’m not living with him.”
Gu Mengmeng did not say a word, only turning her head away.
Elvis tilted his head too, looking at Gu Mengmeng’s tiny face, “I want just the both of us alone to live in the cave too, not having any outsiders. But I’m just afraid you would get annoyed seeing me every day…”
Gu Mengmeng glared at me, “So you’re blaming me now?”
Elvis shook his head, “No no, I wouldn’t. I was just afraid…”
Elvis stopped his sentence midway, shutting up with Gu Mengmeng’s stare and changing his words, “Do you really not like Lea?”
Gu Mengmeng looked down and stayed silent for a moment, before replying glumly, “Perhaps… I do, at the bottom of my heart. That’s why I allowed him to pester me with all his reasons, for I could have avoided if I truly wanted to. Yet, I let him be… He was right, actually, I did enjoy his presence around me. I rejected him, refusing to respond, yet accepted his goodwill towards me… That is very selfish, like a douchebag.”
Elvis wanted to say something, but did not eventually, only hugging Gu Mengmeng while patting her back gently.
The crowd of people had been really careful due to the awkward atmosphere between the messenger of the Beast Deity, tribe leader and witch doctor, afraid that they might be implicated. For the rest of the two-day journey, the group set off and halted as instructed by Gu Mengmeng, even the most delicate females did not dare to lament.
Finally, the group of them returned to Saint Nazaire on the second afternoon.
