Chapter 1558: If I Could Be Loved By Her, Why Would I Want To Be Hated?

“At that time, I did not understand the feelings of liking someone. I only knew that this female beast was interesting and I wanted her.” As Cole spoke, he threw the other tree branch into the fire and said, “That night, after I returned to my room, my mind kept replaying her face when she was playing with Elvis. I even… imagined that the person she was hugging to not be Elvis but me, so the next morning I packed up and went to look for her at the stone house. Yeah, you had even stopped me. A third-level orc had actually dared to behave disrespectfully in front of me, a fifth-level beast, you were really overestimating your capabilities.”

Lea laughed dryly and said, “So you brought me away and beat me up until I transformed into my original form.”

Cole raised his brows and did not deny it.

“A female should scramble after a strong person. With a fifth-level title, I should be her type. Unfortunately, she did not care about me, so besides the curiosity I had, I even felt a sense of possessiveness over her.” Cole continued, “After you guys left Sauder, I had been following you guys the whole time. But you guys were too weak at that time and did not notice me at all. I had been watching her as she treated you and Elvis gently the whole time and I had thought countless times to directly snatch her away, just like Gillian, then lock her up to train to become my pet. But when she smiled, I could not move at all… If I could be loved by her, why would I want to be hated?”

“At that time, I was furious, filled with grudge and hatred… I blamed her for appearing too late. I have already become partners with other females and lost the right to pursue her openly. But after many twists and turns, I could not bear to stain her because of my hatred so I could only allow her to marry you.” Cole looked straight at Lea with an honest gaze that bear no guilt at all, and said, “If you had not made such a request to me at that time, I would not have lost the chance to pursue Ah Gu. Why do I have to settle Gillian for you, while you could woo Ah Gu? Did you think that you were pitiful after being rejected by Ah Gu? But did you know that, I was even envious that you were rejected, because I did not even have the right to be rejected…”

Lea was not angry, instead he smiled calmly and said, “Blood relation is really such an amazing thing. When I was envying Elvis being scolded, held by the ears by Mengmeng and hit by potatoes, you were actually envying my envy…”

Cole returned a smile, as if to acknowledge what he had said.

After a moment of silence, he continued, “After that, I plotted a scheme for Ah Gu to seek help from me when she was at Sauder, while I pretended to be her hero. Inititally she had been trusting me, then it changed to her circling around me with motives. It was not that I could not tell the change, but I was unwilling to expose it. If she was willing, I would rather be blind and be deceived by her my whole life. Unfortunately, even if she was pretending, it still interfered with my plans, so I spent most of my energy on her, which gave you and Elvis a period of rest, so that you guys could regain energy and retaliate.”

Cole lowered his head and gently touched his chest, saying, “When I realised that my obsession over Ah Gu becoming greater, I had already fallen so deeply in love with her that I was reluctant to let her go anymore. I used all means to do things related to her. Besides her, everything else seemed to be bland and meaningless. When I recalled the phrase ‘based on what right’ that I could not understand, I realised that it no longer had any significance. Be it as the leader of the messengers tribe or a stray beast king, all these had become worthless. I no longer wanted anything else or oppress those people who had belittled me. I just wanted her.”
