Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 805

Chapter 805: What Could They Be Hiding?

“I know, so that she would live on… I continuously tortured our children so that she would not trust in me. Only then would she not dare to die. Even if she hates me… even if she hates me… it doesn’t matter. It was enough as long as she lived…” Peter was smiling but his face held traces of intense bitterness.
“In that case, why has she decided to seek death now?” Gu Mengmeng had always been a soft-hearted person but she did not hold an ounce of pity for someone like Peter.
As pitiful as a person was now, he must have had done something wrong in the past to end up in this state.
She only wished to preserve Natalie’s life now. Although Elvis had no impression of her at all, at least that female was willing to endure unmentionable torment for Elvis. Death was a release, but to protect her own son, she chose to live on and to put up with humiliation and suffering.
Every day was a challenge but she still gritted her teeth and withstood it.
Elvis might not have seen or felt any warmth, but it did not mean her maternal love was not there.
Peter shook his head. “After Elvis escaped, Natalie and I reached an agreement. In exchange for letting Elvis go and not pursuing him, she would remain obediently by my side…”
Gu Mengmeng frowned as an idea suddenly flashed across her mind. She hurriedly asked, “When did Natalie start refusing food?”
“When the monsoon season was about to end,” Peter replied.
When the monsoon season was about to end…
That time…
Gu Mengmeng lowered her eyelids and asked in a low voice. “During that time, did anyone in particular come over?”
Peter was startled. He appeared to have thought of something, but just shook his head without a word.
Gu Mengmeng smirked. “As things are now, what else do you have to hide? It doesn’t matter, don’t tell me if you don’t wish to…”
With that, Gu Mengmeng circled Elvis’ neck and turned her face away, ignoring Peter.
Her heart felt choked. Whether it was Peter or Natalie, both sides of their stories held a common point—they were unwilling to divulge what Elvis had suffered during his childhood.
Peter had just used a simple “torture” to gloss over that detail. He was obviously trying to hide something.
That so-called “torture” that year involved Elvis, Peter and Natalie. They were all on different sides and hated each other, but had all silently agreed to keep the matter to themselves.
What could they be hiding?
Elvis didn’t like Gu Mengmeng being dragged into such unhappy matters. It was obviously all in the past, why bring these things up now?
What has the conflict between Natalie and Peter got to do with him? What right did they have to implicate his female?
Unhappiness and sullen anger was written all over Elvis’ face.
“Lea should be back soon. Let’s go eat something first.” Elvis was unwilling to let Gu Mengmeng and Peter continue sharing the same space. Because of Peter’s presence, there was a constant scent of blood in the air. It made one lose his appetite.
With that, Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng towards the outside of the territory.
Lea had already started a fire out there and were in the advanced stages of cooking. He had wanted to call them over when things were done, but they appeared before the food was ready.
Lea smiled. “Almost done. Just wait a while longer and we can eat.”
Gu Mengmeng answered with a single “mmm” and fell back into silence. She just held tightly onto Elvis’ neck. Her little head was pressed into his shoulder, unwilling to loosen her grip.
