Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 909

Chapter 909: No, I Can’t Pretend Any Longer.

Gu Mengmeng was stunned and looked at Lea with a slight frown. She felt that he was acting rather strangely, but couldn’t tell how. After giving him a once over, she met his besotted eyes and clingy manner. Gu Mengmeng smiled self-mockingly.
Perhaps she was being paranoid over Cole’s recent manipulations. Everything looked suspicious to her.
After dispelling the doubts in her heart, Gu Mengmeng spoke up, “Have you met Cole?”
Lea nodded. Gu Mengmeng asked again, “What did he say?”
Lea replied nonchalantly, “He offered me a deal. As long as I give him one item, he will lift the bewitching spell on Sandy, and will never cause trouble for her again.”
“Oh?” Gu Mengmeng raised one brow. With a grim expression, she asked anxiously, “What did he want from you?”
Lea shook his head. “I can’t tell you for the time being. You will know it when the time comes.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned sternly. “You remember your earlier promise to me, right?”
Lea nodded and kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little hand. “Don’t worry, I know my limits. Elvis and I will never do anything that will upset you.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and did not question any further.
Before reaching the stone castle, the three young ones pleaded with Gu Mengmeng to let them go find Burke. She agreed.
So only Elvis, Lea and Gu Mengmeng were inside the relatively large stone castle.
Elvis lit a fire. Gu Mengmeng said she was hungry and wanted Lea to roast some meat for her.
Lea’s actions were practiced and he quickly roasted the meat.
Gu Mengmeng took up a piece of meat under Lea’s expectant gaze. But right before she bit down on it, she paused.
“No, I can’t pretend any longer.” Gu Mengmeng threw the roasted meat aside. Her smile had disappeared and she stared coldly at the person sitting before her. “Cole, do you think I won’t be able to recognize my own man?”
The person sitting in front of Gu Mengmeng was momentarily stunned. He then pressed one hand to his forehead and smiled bitterly. He shook his head in exasperation. “I knew you would realize it, but I didn’t expect it to happen to quickly… can you tell me what tipped you off?”
Gu Mengmeng remained stern-faced. “Can you remove this illusion? Seeing you talk to me with Lea’s face makes me very angry.”
Cole pulled his own hair and put on an innocent expression. “You wish to hit me but can’t bear to?”
Gu Mengmeng ignored him and turned to look at Elvis. “Hubby, in your eyes… who is he?”
Elvis replied, “Cole.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded before standing up and taking a step back. “Beat him up.”
Elvis didn’t answer but just silently stood up. He exuded an oppressive and murderous aura.
Cole waved. “Alright, alright. Don’t get angry. Let me answer your question first, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng leaned into Elvis’ arms. She crossed her arms without a word.
In a familiar movement, Elvis caught Gu Mengmeng in his embrace and circled his arms around her shoulders. He drew back his murderous aura and just stared at Cole with disdain.
Cole remained sitting at his spot, with no intention of standing up. He just said, “I proposed a deal with him. Let me be ‘Lea’ for one day, and I will undo the bewitching spell on Sandy. I will never cause trouble for her or use her to threaten you again. However… Lea rejected my suggestion, so I had no choice but to use some other methods to temporarily detain him at the meeting room.”
