Elvis looked at Lea and he knew what Lea meant was to push all the blame to himself so that Elvis could maintain a pure image in Gu Mengmeng’s heart.
However…
He did not want to lie to Gu Mengmeng.
Elvis remained silent for a while and finally opened his mouth.
“Actually, the reason why Lea appeared at Nina’s house previously was because he lost to me in a battle. He didn’t betray you, I was the one who forced him to leave.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned, asking, “What do you mean?”
Elvis used a low and slow voice to explain, “That time, you said that you can only have one partner and you wanted to leave my cave to stay in Lea’s cave. I knew that if I let you go, I’ll lose you forever, after all… I can’t win your favor as much as Lea. If you left, I won’t have the chance to protect you anymore. I can tolerate you having a lot of partners and can also tolerate you not liking me, not caring for me, and even… not remembering me but I can’t lose the right to even defend you. So, I went to find Lea for a battle that day and the loser had to leave you. Lea could not defeat me so…”
“It’s not defeat, I just didn’t use my entire strength.” Lea interrupted Elvis and continued, “That time, Elvis had not promoted yet and we were both at the peak of third-level. You battle with experience while I battle with my brain. With my understanding towards you, devising against you wasn’t a difficult thing to do. It’s just that I have to pay a high cost and the ending would definitely be great losses on both sides. From your desperate stance of putting up a fight back then, unless I die or you lose, this matter would definitely not end. So, my decision was… to lose.”
Gu Mengmeng closed her eyes and slowly opened them again. She looked at Lea and then at Elvis before swinging her arm to land a slap on Elvis’s face. Then, she asked calmly, “What are you treating me as? A trophy that belongs to the person who has the harder fists? What if the intruders were not the stray beasts but people that are stronger than you? Were you going to let them take me away?”
Elvis shook his head and said firmly, “Unless I die or else nobody can snatch you away.”
Gu Mengmeng used a finger to poke Elvis’s stomach and said, “I have my own train of thoughts. I’m a person, I won’t become a prize that any of you can fight over through battles. I mate with you because I love you and not because you’re strong!”
Elvis nodded his head and pulled Gu Mengmeng into his arms. He said with a hoarse voice, “Xiao Meng, I know my mistake, I really really know I’m wrong. Don’t be angry, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng let out a long breath and asked with a cold expression, “Know your mistake? Say, what’s your mistake?”
Elvis looked like a little student that was facing his parents after being called back to speak alone with the teacher after the parents-teachers meeting as he said on tenterhooks, “I… shouldn’t have sought Lea out for a battle, I won’t battle with him again.”
Gu Mengmeng said, with still a cold expression, “And what else?”
Elvis threw an SOS gaze to Lea but only got Lea’s envious look back.
If Mengmeng could interrogate him like that, how nice would it be… what a pity, he had already lost his right.
Elvis did not get Lea’s rescue and the bottomless pit in his heart grew deeper. Thus, he looked at Gu Mengmeng in utmost cautiousness and said, “Although… I don’t know where I made a mistake in, seeing how you’re so angry, it must be my mistake. How about you telling me where my mistake lies? I’ll definitely change it in the future.”
