Chapter 839: Cole Said Something That Was Quite True

Natalie’s eyes turned red as tears brimmed in them. She cast an aching glance at Elvis’ shoulder. Although it had healed completely such that not even a single teeth mark remained, Natalie seemed able to conjure up the image of the wound.

Clenching her fists, Natalie turned and ran off.

Peter glared at Gu Mengmeng but she just shrugged. “She’ll run off if you don’t give chase.”

Peter gave a vicious swing of his fist before running off after Natalie without turning back. Gu Mengmeng crossed her arms as she watched Peter try to explain himself to Natalie as she pouted. Only after the two disappeared into the horizon did Gu Mengmeng finally leaned into Elvis and say, “Let’s go back to Saint Nazaire.”

Elvis didn’t say a word but just carried Gu Mengmeng steadily towards Saint Nazaire.

Lea reached out to poke Gu Mengmeng’s little face. “Smiling so happily?”

Gu Mengmeng had wanted to hide her amusement but couldn’t control herself after being exposed by Lea. Her shoulders shook with laughter. “Acting as matchmaker to my own parents-in-law, I think I am the first in history to do so. I can rightfully claim the title to most filial daughter-in-law, right?”

Lea raised one brow. “I don’t get it. Are you trying to bring them together or drive them apart?”

Gu Mengmeng leaned against Elvis’ shoulder and chuckled. “In this world, no one else is more true to Natalie than Peter. He is the best candidate to take good care of Natalie. But he had bullied my hubby so I can’t let him have too comfortable a life.”

Elvis bent down and kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little head. “So you are helping to avenge me?”

Gu Mengmeng nodded as she admitted to it magnanimously.

Elvis smiled as he gazed at her with eyes full of warmth. Raising his eyebrows, he said, “With my character, this level of revenge is too gentle. But… since you are the instigator, I feel very blessed. Yeah, take it that I have been avenged. I won’t pursue those past matters anymore.”

Actually, Gu Mengmeng didn’t mean it that way.

She didn’t do that with the expectation of Elvis forgiving him. After all, the things which Peter did in the past was way too cruel and beyond reason.

In Gu Mengmeng’s heart, even killing Peter a hundred times would not relieve him of his sins. But she hadn’t punished him as she didn’t want to take matters into her own hands. She wanted to leave the final decision and the right to do so to Elvis. No matter how he chose to seek revenge, she would stand by him and support him without any qualms.

Her little prank was just to bring some trouble to Peter, like paying off part of the interest.

But if Elvis was willing to give up his desire for revenge over that bit of sweetness she brought him, this was the best outcome for Gu Mengmeng.

She didn’t care what happened to Peter. She cared about Elvis.

Forgiving Peter was just a way for Elvis to gain release.

A heart was only so big. If it was used to store all sorts of hatred and thoughts of revenge, where to put the love?

And to Elvis, his hatred towards Peter had already been so diluted that he never even thought about it. As a male, especially after knowing Gu Mengmeng, Elvis was even starting to understand Peter’s insanity.

Cole said something that was quite true. If Mengmeng were to leave him one day… he might do things that were more degenerate, more cruel and more insane than anyone else.
