Peter slowly relaxed his tightly clenched fists. He smiled bitterly. “She has already hated me for so many years. There are so many reasons for her to hate me, just one more wouldn’t do much harm.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Yeah, it’s good that you understand that.”
Peter hesitated a while before saying, “What do you intend to do? Will she… be in any danger? How upset will she be this time?”
Gu Mengmeng touched her finger lightly to her own chin, as if pondering how to reply to Peter.
After thinking for awhile, she suddenly smiled. “She should not be too upset. At the very most, she will feel so angry that she would want to bash you to death.”
Peter was taken aback, before laughing out loud.
“If I am the only one getting injured, you can go ahead and do whatever you like without any worries. As long as it is effective, it doesn’t matter how many injuries I receive.”
Gu Mengmeng believed in Peter’s words.
No one knew better than her just how blindly devoted the males of the Beast World could be in the name of love, right?
Gu Mengmeng said, “Just a heads up, I plan to throw a pot of dirty water all over you.”
Peter nodded and stood up straight. “Let’s do it.”
Gu Mengmeng’s face froze as she stared rather awkwardly at Peter, who was waiting earnestly for the “dirty water”. She sighed inwardly: Communication gap.
Taking a breath, Gu Mengmeng adjusted her expression before saying, “Elvis and I have four sons. One of them was poisoned by Cole and was in a long-term coma. He just woke up recently, but is still under the control of the poison. Without Cole’s antidote, he is unable to return to my side. So… this matter, I plan to blame it on you.”
Peter looked blank. Regarding matters that had nothing to do with Natalie he was not too quick on the uptake.
Elvis’ son was under Cole’s control because of a poison. What did that have to do with Natalie?
Seeing that he didn’t understand, Gu Mengmeng knew that this guy had a really low emotional intelligence. How could he fail to see such a simple connection?
Sighing, Gu Mengmeng held a “let’s not get serious with fools” attitude. “You just need to remember that you are involved in this matter. When Natalie comes looking for you, you must stay in character and maintain your role. That’s all you need to do, got it?”
Peter nodded in confusion. As long as Natalie could live on, he was willing to do anything.
But…
Didn’t she say she was going to throw dirty water at him? Had she changed her mind?
Sigh, although Elvis was his son and looked exceptional from all angles—his only flaw was his taste in females. Of all the females out there, why did he choose this weird one? Elvis definitely didn’t get that from him. He probably got that trait from Natalie. After all, Natalie’s only flaw was her poor taste in partners. Otherwise, why had she chosen a bunch of useless fools over him?
Gu Mengmeng didn’t care about what Peter was thinking. She just followed Elvis and Lea back to their cave and had a simple breakfast. She then had Elvis carry her to Natalie’s cave.
Elvis had already promised to support Gu Mengmeng’s attempt to save Natalie, and naturally did not object.
So no matter what she asked, he cooperated.
When the two of them entered the cave, Natalie was still lying there in the same quiet manner as yesterday. She looked as if she had not moved an inch.
Hearing Gu Mengmeng’s voice, Natalie’s lashes fluttered slightly, but she didn’t open her eyes.
Towards this son, she was both a familiar person and a stranger. Full of heartache and guilt.
