Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Although both my parents are alive, I’ve no one to rely on. But now, I’ve you and our sons, I’ve a complete family. I’ll give all of you the love that I’ve nowhere else to put in the past. Then, I’ll accept the love all of you give me with my mind at rest and conscience clear. That way, I’ll live life in happiness.” Gu Mengmeng hugged Elvis and smiled sweetly before adding, “So, don’t worry that I’ll leave you. You and our sons…..are everything of what I’ve left. If I leave you guys, where else can I go?”
Elvis frowned but the corners of his lips were curving upwards. He did not know what kind of emotions he was feeling now, he felt both lucky and heartache.
He knew the feeling of having nothing other than one person because he experienced it before.
He’s Saint Nazaire’s tribe leader but Saint Nazaire is not important to him at all….
The only important thing was Gu Mengmeng.
And just nice, he had the luck to become the only reliance Gu Mengmeng had in her heart.
Her reliance on him made him feel very lucky and happy. But the price to pay for that luck was struggling hard for many years at a place she could not see.
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly in his arms and kissed her hair, saying, “If we have to pay a price to meet each other, I should be the one shouldering everything. You suffered so much because of me being useless.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and comforted him, “Didn’t you lead a wandering life for so many years just to meet me?”
If he withstood all the torture in the past just to meet her…
The corners of Elvis’s mouth curled upwards slightly. All those bloodsheds, all those brutalities, all those torture and all those narrow escapes seemed to quietly change in his memory. They were not tragic, they were not pitiful, there were not miserable nor solemn.
Elvis ruffled Gu Mengmeng’s hair and said, “Thank you for beautifying my life.”
That night, Gu Mengmeng told Elvis many, many interesting memories of her previous jobs. She wanted Elvis to not think of her life as too tragic as much as possible but no matter how casual her tone was, Elvis’s expression was always that sullen.
After that, Gu Mengmeng fell asleep in Elvis’s arms and in her daze, between dreaming and being awake, she heard Elvis whisper to her ear, “You still have not replied to me who exactly is the….swimwear Prince Charming?”
Gu Mengmeng’s little heart skipped a beat, so she decided to immediately go into fainting mode and sink herself into a deep sleep. Her ex-boyfriend walks around in front of her everyday, a fabricated Yoo Sijin keeps popping out from time to time just to raise his presence and if they were to add a swimwear Prince Charming in, ha…her life is really so plentiful.
The next morning, when Gu Mengmeng stretched and sat up straight, she noticed that the atmosphere in the house was not right. After rubbing her eyes, she realized that Cole was standing in the room, wearing some weird clothing. The material was beast skin but the design….slightly resembled what the ancient sacrifices to G.o.ds would wear, yeah…those kinds of lower-end fakes.
With a darkened face, Elvis stood in front of Cole to block him. Cole was quite similar to Lea on many aspects. He always had a modest smile that kept you at a distance. He smiled just like that at Elvis and even though both of them were clearly not talking, Gu Mengmeng could see flashes of lightning taking turns to appear around them.
Lea was in his beast form and huddled up beside Gu Mengmeng to act as a warm pillow. When Gu Mengmeng woke up, he would also sit up straight and use his large tail to wrap around Gu Mengmeng’s waist gently. After lazily stretching his front claws, he evolved back into human form and asked her with his morning husky voice, “Don’t you want to sleep a little more?”
