Chapter 1027: Now I Can’t Live Without You
Peter was stunned for a moment and could not respond. Natalie’s expression had changed too fast, why was she smiling when she was crying her heart out moments before…
“Ha.” Peter suddenly smiled. He shook his head and hugged Natalie even tighter. He said, “You, you have been together with the stray beasts for too long and learned to be this sly. But it is better this way… I rather you are fooling me… than you being really upset.”
Natalie gave Peter a push and she sat back on the bed herself. She said, “I will not let you go with just this level of sweet words. Now tell me, why did you suddenly ask me to leave?”
Peter walked towards Natalie and went down on one knee. He put one hand on Natalie’s knee and another around her waist as he looked at her deeply. He said, “Recently, I have been… losing control of my body more and more frequently.”
Natalie was stunned for a moment, she then asked, “Are you talking about you running out in the middle of the night?”
Peter froze, he thought she did not know.
Hesitating for a moment, Peter nodded eventually and said, “My body is thirsty for fighting and killing, I could not control it with my conscious. At first, I could be satisfied with killing just some wild beasts, but now I could only calm down by killing some orcs. When I am in the maniac mode, I didn’t even know what I was doing… At this rate, I am scared I might injure you… one day after I lost my conscious.”
Natalie smiled, nodded her head and said, “So you planned to send me to Elvis and let the Messenger of the Beast Deity protect me.”
Peter nodded in approval.
But Natalie smiled and continued asking, “Then what if one day, you rush to Saint Nazaire, wanting to harm me in your uncontrollable state due to some reasons? What do you want the Messenger to do?”
“Kill me.” Peter said determinedly, “Only she had the power in the entire Beast World to kill me.”
Natalie sighed and looked extremely disappointed. She fell backwards slightly, widening the distance between the two of them and said, “It seems like, you don’t love me a lot… neither do you trust that I love you too.”
Peter’s entire body of muscles tensed up immediately, he tightened his grip around Natalie’s wait. He pursed his lips and did not say anything.
Natalie continued, “If it was not for you stopping me, I would have died by now, do you understand?”
With that, Peter felt even more uneasy.
Natalie continued, “Do you still not understand? Now… I can’t live without you.”
Peter’s eyes widened with Natalie’s words and he was in a daze.
Natalie leaned forward, cupped Peter’s face with both of her hands and said, “We have been beating around the bush and tortured each other for seventeen years, can’t we live our lives peacefully for the rest of the days ahead? Peter, I can’t live without you. So, can you try to resist the thirst for blood for me? You love me so much… Aren’t you able to do anything for me?”
“I can’t live without you, so I will definitely try to overcome it. But I can’t put you on risk, so can you leave with Elvis first and I will come and get you once I can control my thirst, alright?”
Natalie smiled and shook her head, she said, “I am your biggest courage, isn’t it? If I leave, where do you get the strength to resist against desires other than missing me?”
“But…” Peter wanted to continue, but Natalie had put her fingers against his lips. She smiled and said in an absolute manner, “I am the head of the family, you are only likable if you listen to me.”
