Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Gu Mengmeng did not insist any further, she did not have the enthusiasm like how she matched and put together Sandy and Collin in the past. She did not want to….interfere too much into other people’s lives.

When Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng back to the stone house, Barete and Burke were already standing at the entrance.

Upon seeing Gu Mengmeng, Barete straightened his body and maintained a model soldier-like face. His expression seemed like it became more resolute from the past two months and he also became more quiet, as if he opened his mouth a lot lesser unless he was facing Gu Mengmeng.

“I brought him over.” Barete opened his mouth and reported in a brief and concise manner. After he finished his words, he stood behind Elvis and continued playing his role as a messenger’s guard. He was not talkative and did not steal anyone’s show. If you did not look at him in detail, he appeared as if he was a background behind Gu Mengmeng.

Elvis sat down on the stone steps at the entrance while carrying Gu Mengmeng. On the other hand, Lea walked past Burke while swaying his large tail and slightly paused for a moment before he laughed lightly. However, he did not say a word as he just walked to the simple cooking range to start a fire.

Gu Mengmeng sat in Elvis’s arms and looked at Burke with the corners of her eyes lazily. She also laughed lightly and ordered, “I’m going to head back to Saint Nazaire three days later. You and your tribesmen shall head back with me.”

Burke clenched his fists by the two sides of his body and held them tightly before slowly letting them go. He did not dare to stare directly into Gu Mengmeng’s eyes as he just looked intently at her shadow that had been pulled long by the sunlight. Frowning, he replied, “Can we….stay in Sauder? My tribesmen are already too old, they can’t withstand such continuous traveling and migration….”

Gu Mengmeng was shocked and pretty surprised too.

“Are you not leaving with me?” Gu Mengmeng asked.

Was Cole’s motive to control Sauder again instead of her when he planned Burke into the picture?

Burke shook his head with much difficulty and explained, “I wish to leave with you too but if I leave, nobody can provide food for my tribesmen. Originally, I still have two half-orc females in my tribe to recruit more family members through mating and thus take care of my tribesmen better. But…”

But Sauder did not lack females. How could the two half-orc females succeed in snatching resources from the group of top perfect females?

Let alone implicating a whole family of old, weak, sick and crippled, even if half-orc females whose families were rather strong such as Maya and Sandy, they did not take in any new family members after coming to Sauder.

Of course, Sandy was deeply satisfied after getting Collin so she did not give any chances to other males. Or else, with her identity as the bosom friend of the messenger, there would still be males who were willing to mate with her.

Gu Mengmeng nodded her head and did not force him any further as she said, “Since that’s the case, I won’t force you anymore. You can go back now.”

Burke quietly shifted his gaze up and looked at Gu Mengmeng in deep affection.

Her lonely figure in the rain made him toss and turn restlessly in bed which eventually caused him to stay up all night . He did not know whether it was tears or rainwater on her face that day but her clear eyes were so calm and peaceful that it made one’s heart ache and aroused one’s desire to protect her.

If it was possible, he wished to stay by her side to protect her no matter what happened so that she need not sit in the rain alone and need not feel lonely again.

But….

Eventually, Burke just replied an ‘alright’ before he turned around and left the place slowly with heavy footsteps.

After Burke had left, Gu Mengmeng and Lea exchanged glances and chuckled, “You smelled it too?”
