Chapter 824: Mother-In-Law Misunderstands

Natalie straightened herself and kneeled beside Gu Mengmeng . Hesitant and fearful, she still took Gu Mengmeng’s hand in hers, trembling the entire time . Her fingertips were icy and extremely bony . Despite their frailty, they held an undeniable sense of weight .

“Elvis suffered a lot when he was young . He never had a moment’s peace . He had to be cold and distant, to remain invulnerable . Otherwise, he would have died…”

“This created the flaws in his character . He is not like other males who can use sweet nothings to coax you . But his love for you is sincere . ”

“Moreover, he is already a fifth-level beast . Even if you don’t like him, just going by the fact that he is a powerful fighter, don’t abandon him, okay?”

Natalie raised her eyes and gazed pleadingly at Gu Mengmeng . Her eyes were brimming with tears, as if they would spill over any time if Gu Mengmeng gave even the slightest shake of her head .

“This must be the first time you saw Elvis again after he was a month old… how do you know he loves me?” Gu Mengmeng asked gently .

Natalie was taken aback and lowered her head . “I…”

Gu Mengmeng continued . “Don’t you know? You said all that because of your maternal instincts . To protect him and not let him come to any harm . Whether or not he loves me, you don’t really care, right?”

Actually, Natalie could not completely deny Gu Mengmeng’s logic . This was because deep down inside, she really did think that .

But that was not the whole truth . Natalie was afraid that not only had she failed to help Elvis, she had instead brought trouble . Hence, she hurriedly explained . “A person’s eyes never lie . No matter how fierce his gaze is, it cannot conceal the gentleness within . He only had eyes for you all the way from start to end . You… are his entire world . He is just bad at expressing himself . Please, give him a chance . Even if you don’t shower affection upon him… just don’t abandon him . ”

Gu Mengmeng tugged at her own collar and presented Elvis’ partner mark on her collarbone for Natalie to see . “Elvis is my first partner . I love him very much and will never abandon him . Moreover, I don’t think he looks at me fiercely at all . On the contrary, I see a deep, profound love in his eyes . He is a male who will sacrifice his own life for me . I can wholeheartedly place my entire life in his hands . ”

Natalie was dumbstruck . She gazed at Gu Mengmeng for a long while, as her tears eventually trickled down .

Choking back her tears, she said, “You are truly the Messenger of the Beast Deity . Able to see through him more clearly than I can . ”

Gu Mengmeng let go of her collar and hugged her own leg . She rested her face on her knee and looked sideways at Natalie . “So you do know some things after all . ”

Natalie smiled bitterly, as if opening her heart for the first time .

“I have been imprisoned here for 17 years since he captured me . In these 17 years, I have seen too many examples of how the stray beasts treat the females they have snatched . The bloody scenes remain firmly etched in my mind’s eye . If I cannot see his protectiveness and concern towards me, I am not only foolish but also blind . ”

Natalie continued to smile her bitter smile . Her tears flowed quietly as she struggled to compose herself . “But so what if I can see all that now? What has been done cannot be undone . My children are dead . My partners are dead . My entire tribe annihilated… and all that just because I failed to see the passion behind his savageness . Unwilling to give him a chance to express his love . ”
