  “Can this be considered a form of coercion?” Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Should I go along with his wishes? Luring me to Sauder…… what motive could he have?”


  Elvis held out the last grape to Gu Mengmeng’s lips before saying lightly. “It’s not coercion, but a provocation.”


  Gu Mengmeng raised her brows at Elvis.

  Elvis chuckled. “Aren’t you going to eat that? Shall I go pluck more for you?”


  Gu Mengmeng shook her, indicating she had enough.

  Elvis caressed Gu Mengmeng’s little head. His mood relaxed at seeing her eating to her fill.

  But all this talk about Cole gave rise to a harsh glint to Elvis’ eyes. It was just a subtle flash and not too obvious. “Sauder is now part of Saint Nazaire. An attack led by Cole is a territorial conflict. It is not a coercion as there is no way we will retreat. I will not allow you to feel pressured.”


  Gu Mengmeng nodded. She had gone all soft and gooey at Elvis’ domineering stance.

  My hubby is so MAN……

  A graphically-enhanced 3D image swirled around in Gu Mengmeng’s mind.

  Elvis enjoyed Gu Mengmeng’s adoring expression very much.

  The temperature of the water had dipped and Elvis pulled Gu Mengmeng out from the bathtub before wrapping her up in a skinned fur.

  Lea carried the tub out to clean it. He then raised a fire inside the cave, so that the dampness caused from Gu Mengmeng’s bath would evaporate quickly and not cause her discomfort tonight.

  Elvis placed Gu Mengmeng on the bed, and used his thigh as her pillow. He then used a clean hide to gently massage her hair. His heart softened at the sight of her face, which was flushed red from the bath.

  “Matters regarding territorial conflicts, leave it to me and Lea to handle, alright?”


  Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Mmm, I am more than happy to do so.”


  Actually, the moment Peter told them this piece of news, Lea instantly realized it was a trap set by Cole.

  After all, Lea was all too familiar with Cole’s methods. Even if he couldn’t immediately decipher the entire plot, he still possessed an instinctive feel for his schemes.

  And Elvis naturally trusted Lea. That was why the two of them had displayed such obvious enmity towards Peter just now.

  It had nothing to do with him personally. But anyone who was helping Cole lay a trap for Gu Mengmeng would naturally become the enemy. Fathers alike.

  They had wanted to keep this a secret from Gu Mengmeng, so as to avoid making her worry.

  After all, she had been plagued with so many troubling matters for a long while now.

  They had promised to bring her joy and happiness, so why had Gu Mengmeng’s life become so problematic and complicated after they became her partners?

  Elvis and Lea both frowned deeply. They even suspected if they themselves had tainted Gu Mengmeng’s originally wonderful life?

  But even so, they still held onto her hands greedily, unwilling to be abandoned by her.

  That was why they wanted to resolve such vexing issues secretly. But their Mengmeng…… didn’t like them keeping things from her.

  “I will never hide anything from you in the future.” Elvis said earnestly as he gently dried Gu Mengmeng’s hair. He reiterated the promise he had made this afternoon. “I will tell you everything, after which you will hand it over to me to settle…… it feels pretty good to be trusted. Thank you, Xiao Meng.”


  Gu Mengmeng laughed and turned to gaze upon Elvis. “Silly hubby. You are my man. If I can’t trust you, who else can I trust?”
