Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO (Web Novel)
chapter-818

How to explain it. In Gu Mengmeng’s eyes, Peter was a vicious and ruthless character. He did not care about right or wrong, life or death. He paid no heed to anyone else, not even himself.

Apart from Natalie, he cared about nothing else.

But such a person was now behaving as frantically as an adolescent boy experiencing love for the first time. He was flustered and ill-at-ease, as if he was holding a love letter and about to present it to his intended.

Just how deep was that love, which could drive a person who was able to torture his own sons without batting an eyelid—into exhibiting such an emotional state?

Gu Mengmeng couldn’t hold back her amusement. It appeared like that fragile female in that cave was even more formidable than this ruthless male before her.

Gu Mengmeng and Peter totally ignored each other as they brushed by.

Lea immediately embraced Gu Mengmeng the moment she exited the cave. He used his chin to gesture towards Elvis, who was standing some distance away with his back towards them. “What did you do to him? Why does he look so unhappy?”

Gu Mengmeng tilted her head and looked at Elvis’ back profile. She felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.

They had already discussed the Natalie situation earlier, but he didn’t react so dramatically then? Could it be that he was suddenly overcome by the sight of his mother?

“Let me go take a look.” Gu Mengmeng extracted herself from Lea’s arms and walked to Elvis’ side.

Elvis knew Gu Mengmeng had come over, but he refused to turn around and look at her. Every single cell in his body had involuntarily focused on her every move. He was aware of the very moment she had stepped out of the cave.

“Elvis.” Gu Mengmeng gently tugged at Elvis’ arm.

Elvis turned away. His rejection was obvious.

Gu Mengmeng was dumbfounded. He didn’t look like he was upset over the matter regarding Natalie. Instead, he looked like he was angry at her?

But…

Why?

Despite not knowing what she had done wrong, Gu Mengmeng felt very sheepish.

Because Elvis had never been angry at her before. No matter how unreasonable she had been, he had always accommodated her.

Today… what happened?

Gu Mengmeng was at a loss. She jiggled Elvis’ arm and infused sweetness into her voice. “Hubby…”

Elvis remained unmoved. With his face still turned away, he even started to draw back his arm from Gu Mengmeng’s hand.

He was really angry?

Gu Mengmeng finally experienced how helpless Elvis must have felt every time she was angry, when he would say with all sincerity: Xiao Meng, I was wrong. Although I don’t know what I did, but I must have done something bad to make you so angry. Tell me, tell me where did I go wrong. I will definitely change.

Ha, it was probably more or less like what she was feeling now.

Twisting her lips, Gu Mengmeng looked up at the back of Elvis’ head. She inhaled. “I will cry if you dare to shrug me off.”

Elvis suddenly turned around and met Gu Mengmeng’s misty eyes. An indescribable panic rose in his clear, blue eyes.

If there was anything in this world that could easily sway Elvis, it would be the name “Gu Mengmeng”.

No matter how angry he was, he still couldn’t bear to see her cry.

He reached out one hand, intending to stroke her little face, but halted stiffly in mid-air…

That hand had been touched by another female and was too dirty.

He suddenly drew back that hand and switched to another to hold Gu Mengmeng’s face. He sighed with a deep sense of melancholy. “Don’t cry, I won’t shrug you off.”
