Elvis sighed.
As the first partner, he had to be fair and magnanimous.
But as a male beast, how could he willing to have another person who would compete for favour with him in the family?
Especially that Gregory, who was exceptionally handsome, and different from other walking beasts in the Beast World. He had a unique aura that belonged to flying beasts. He might not surpass Lea, but at least they were comparable.
In front of Gu Mengmeng, he was neither servile nor overbearing. He would not relent for no reason because of her pleading and had his own limits to ensure that he would only do things beneficial for her.
Most importantly, Gregory was only 10 years old and at the prime age of his life, whereas Lea and himself were no longer young and lively.
Moreover with his connection to Love of the Sky, if he really became Gu Mengmeng's partner...
Elvis smiled bitterly, would he still be deemed important in Xiao Meng's eyes?
Unfortunately, he was not Lea and could not place his emotions before Gu Mengmeng's benefits.
So long as Xiao Meng likes him, not only could he not reject him, he still had to find ways to settle Lea so that she could do as she wish.
But now that Wales had not really revived, there was still some time until Gregory returned. He was only trying to mentally prepare himself and Lea by talking about it early and there was no need to argue about it so early.
Moreover, Elvis was very clear that even though Lea sounded so determined, if Gregory really liked Gregory, he would tolerate it even if he was unwilling and would not really stop her.
After all, compared to her smiling face, there was nothing more important, including themselves.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when Gregory successfully returns." Elvis said plainly.
Lea harrumphed and did not respond. He searched around for some medication and forced it down Cole's throat using hot water. Then, he patted his hands and said, "Alright, this fellow is only frozen from the cold. He won't die, don't worry."
Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, "Prepare some more food. When he wakes up... let's eat together."
Lea glanced at Cole and his lips rose slightly as he nodded.
Ever since Gu Mengmeng was pregnant, she would feel sleepy frequently. She would be groggy the whole day and after walking just a few steps, she would be tired and would yawn and sleep in Elvis' arms.
Elvis remembered that when she was pregnant with Hede and the rest, she had also been easily tired like this, so he carried her back to the room to let her lay down comfortably to sleep, whereas he would keep her warm beside her.
Lea stayed outside and adjusted the fire as and when required, so that he could prepare to cook.
When there was a steady breathing coming from the room, confirming that Gu Mengmeng was asleep, he then kicked Cole and said, "Alright, stop pretending, Mengmeng is asleep."
Cole gradually opened his eyes with a smile on his face. He supported himself to sit up and said, "It's not really pretending, I just woke up."
Lea did not question him and only asked with a vague smile, "Can't you be more creative? You had actually copied my method of seeking forgiveness from that time, aren't you afraid that Mengmeng could tell?"
Cole's body was weak. Even though he was a Beast King, it would still cost half his life after not eating, drinking and being out in the cold for half a month.
With his voice hoarse and a little unreal, he said, "If you know a plausible shortcut, why take the longer way? Following a proven method would ensure that I don't fail, isn't it?"
Lea laughed softly, "You are also really brutal to yourself. You had already returned 10 days ago, yet you did not enter until you were almost frozen to death... Ha, when you entered and collapsed, it seemed so real and pitiful."
