Gu Mengmeng was speechless. Why did Elvis sound like he was buying a pet for his wife from the pet shop?

  Also, what did he mean by there would not be any male willing to be her partner? Was he openly finding a stepfather for himself?

  Elvis, you are truly magnanimous……

  “I will go get her from Peter. If he refuses…… I will destroy him. It will be considered a service to the public.” Elvis made to put Gu Mengmeng down as he said that. But she continued to hang onto his neck. He dared not force her and could only allow her to remain clinging to his body. He then turned and headed towards Peter. “You will no longer be upset if I let you bring Natalie back?”


  Gu Mengmeng shook her head.

  Elvis paused and looked at Gu Mengmeng with a confused expression.

  Gu Mengmeng said in a small voice, “I am not upset over Natalie and Peter. It is because of you……”


  A chill shot through Elvis. He was flustered and didn’t know what to do, but just immediately blurted out. “Xiao Meng, I am sorry. I am in the wrong. Don’t be angry. Tell me what did I do that made you so unhappy? I will change. I will change immediately. Alright?”


  Gu Mengmeng held Elvis’ face and kissed him on the lips.

  Blushing, she finally released him after a long time.

  “No need to apologize. You didn’t do anything wrong. My heart just…… aches a lot for you.”


  Elvis froze on the spot. Warmth flooded his heart.

  This was the first time Mengmeng made the first move to kiss him……

  Ha, his Xiao Meng made the first move to kiss him.

  “I am already the world’s happiest man. Why does your heart still ache for me?” Elvis couldn’t help smiling as his blue eyes filled with joy.

  Gu Mengmeng circled Elvis’ neck and held him tight. She murmured in his ear, “Not enough, not enough. I want you to have even more happiness. To make up for everything you endured as a child……”


  Elvis smiled at Gu Mengmeng’s words. He propped her by the underarms before him and looked directly into her eyes. “Is that why you are in a bad mood, because of what happened to me during my childhood?”


  Gu Mengmeng nodded. Her large eyes were filled with tears.

  After inheriting Snake’s memories, she thought her heart had become hard enough, that she had become so jaded that no tragedy could move her anymore.

  But she was wrong. Her hardness and jadedness collapsed in the face of people whom she treasured.

  She only had to think of the nameless pain that Elvis had suffered before he met her, and her heart would be choked with sadness, nearly suffocating her.

  Even scarier was the fact that the entire world was hiding it from her. Not allowing her to know just what did Elvis suffer during that period. This made her imagination run wild until she was nearly driving herself mad with anxiety.

  “That’s the reason behind your wish to save Natalie?” Elvis asked.

  Gu Mengmeng nodded. “I want her to live, so that she has a chance to make amends for all the childhood joy you missed.”


  Elvis pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little face. “Silly girl. What are you thinking? Only you can bring me joy. Your smile is the only thing that can pull me from the depths of hell. Apart from you, no one else can bring me happiness.”


  “But……” Gu Mengmeng’s face was full of conflict. She just didn’t want Elvis to have such a regret in life.
