Chapter 865: Insist On Being With Me
Gu Mengmeng stepped between Cole and Chixuan and lifted her chin. “Too bad. Since I know Chixuan is alright now, do you think you still have the ability snatch him away from me?”
Cole stood unmoving at his original spot. “How could you be sure that he wouldn’t insist on being with me after he awakens?”
Gu Mengmeng wrinkled her brows with anxiety.
She had to admit that Cole spent a lot more time with Chixuan than she had.
There was always some matter which required her attention, and she often handed her sons over to Sandy’s care. So in reality… she had not really done her duties as a mother.
Meanwhile, since Cole took Chixuan over, he had been by his side day and night…
He was still a kid and had a pressing need for family ties.
It was her own oversight for giving Cole the opportunity. Seeing as how Chixuan had protected Cole from Elvis without any regard for his own safety—it was clear how close Chixuan had grown to Cole, as a result of that pressing need.
It was inevitable that Chixuan would look for Cole after he wakes up.
She could easily kill Cole now.
But what would happen after she killed him? How could she face the pain that Chixuan would feel from that?
Neglecting him and failing to be by his side. And then taking away the only comfort he managed to get for himself.
Clenching her fists, Gu Mengmeng’s eyes filled with rage.
Cole lowered his head. “That look in your eyes… reserved only for me. So very touching.”
Gu Mengmeng took two deep breaths and suppressed the frustration in her heart. “Get out of my sight before I change my mind.”
Cole nodded and placed his right hand over his chest. “Yes, my beloved mistress.”
Cole cast one final glance at the unconscious Chixuan before turning to leave without any hesitation.
The moment he left, Elvis and Lea came in.
Lea immediately went to check on Chixuan’s injuries. After all, he was more skilled than Dylan in such matters.
Elvis drew Gu Mengmeng into his arms and nuzzled the top of her head with his chin. After seeing that she was fine, he finally relaxed. “I know he does not have the ability to hurt you, but I still cannot help worrying… Xiao Meng, as long as I can’t see you, I will feel a deep sense of unease. Could you… never leave my line of sight again?”
Gu Mengmeng pressed her face against Elvis’ chest and listened to his breathing and heartbeat. “Cole gave the Kiss of the Ocean to Chixuan. The poison in Chixuan’s body will not be triggered again.”
Looking up, Gu Mengmeng asked Elvis, “Hubby, did I do wrong?”
“Mmm?” Elvis frowned. His heart ached for the pain he saw in Gu Mengmeng’s eyes.
The tough and chilly facade that Gu Mengmeng put on for Cole collapsed before Elvis. She was soft and sensitive, and full of guilt towards Chixuan. “I seem to have endless tasks to settle everyday, and always put my sons as one of my lowest priorities. If I had just accompanied them more… Cole would never have gotten this chance. He has taken over an important spot in Chixuan’s heart. It’s because I didn’t give my sons enough love to support their growth… I should have already noticed this when Burke appeared, but… hubby, I truly suspect now, am I… am I a bad mother?”
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng and stroked her back. “Compared with the other females, you are already a godsend to those four wolf pups. If you are considered a bad mother, then there are no good mothers in this world at all.”
