Chapter 1005: I Am A Bad Mother

“Lea, I discovered that I no longer have the right to call others selfish . ” Gu Mengmeng leaned into Lea’s embrace, but kept her teary eyes on Chixuan . She sounded choked . “I have become a most detestable version of myself . Selfish and greedy . Unwilling to sacrifice myself but still forcing Chixuan to remain by my side…”

Gu Mengmeng wanted to laugh but ended up emitting a sob . “I feel like I have become one of those parents whom children detest the most . Judging the friends of my children based solely on my own opinions and forcing my kids to stop socializing with those whom I deem as ‘bad friends’ . Not caring at all how important that ‘bad friend’ is to my child… am I a bad mother? Now that I think of it, it is right of Chixuan for not wanting to remain by my side… because I am a bad mother… sob sob…”

“Silly girl . ” Lea gave a soft sigh and hugged Gu Mengmeng a bit more firmly . Only by doing so would he be able to assure her that she was not alone . She still had him .

Kissing away Gu Mengmeng’s tears, he said, “If you are really selfish, you won’t be feeling so bad now . Selfish people will find a million high-sounding reasons to justify their own self-serving means . They will turn their selfishness into a self-righteous crusade . ”

Gu Mengmeng’s tears continued to trickle on in silence . She was not crying tragically, but every shudder of her shoulders made Lea’s heart ache tremendously .

In the past, whenever a female in the tribe cried and made a fuss, Lea would smirk and say something like “Just let her cry . She would stop crying if no one bothers about her . Don’t give her any attention . ”

But now, he couldn’t bear to put Gu Mengmeng down and let her sit there crying alone .

“Xiao Meng, we all know you are doing this only because you love Chixuan . You are afraid that he will be in more danger if he remains by Cole’s side . You are just doing this for his own good . ”

“For his own good… ha… in the end, the one who done the most harm to him is the person who claimed to be doing things for his own good . ” Gu Mengmeng was crying agitatedly . She clutched Lea’s arm tightly . “Chixuan gave me a third option . As long as I am willing to sacrifice a little of myself, he is willing to come back…”

“I heard . ” Lea said, “But you know very well that if you accept Cole, things between Elvis, Cole and I will not be settled until either of us dies . We will never allow any male to force himself upon you . Looking at the relationship between Chixuan and Cole, he would definitely help Cole . So, it will end up with me and Elvis killing Cole and Chixuan, or them killing us . No matter the outcome, it will definitely be worse than this, won’t it?”

Gu Mengmeng knew that Lea was purposely presenting the worst-case scenario to her, to absolve the guilt she was feeling .

If only she hadn’t inherited Snake’s thousand years’ worth memories, and if only she didn’t possess Wang Xiaoxin’s knowledge on psychology—she might have brightened up as Lea intended .

But…

Fate was a cruel thing . Take away the above two “if only”s and there could only be one result .

And that result was for her to go against Chixuan’s wishes and forcibly remove Cole from his life .

Gu Mengmeng didn’t say anything more . She just laid on Lea’s shoulder as her tears continued to fall .

Because of her guilt . And even more so, because her heart ached .

She would never forget the look on Chixuan’s face as he tried to resist her hypnotism .

He… hated her .

When Elvis and the three little ones returned, Gu Mengmeng had already cried herself to sleep in Lea’s arms . Outside, Elvis had already warned the three youngsters on what the situation might be like back home . So the children didn’t ask and just quietly sat beside Chixuan . They watched their unconscious brother with conflicted expressions .
