“What truth?” Peter asked.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Peter’s expression and knew he had more or less guessed the truth. He was just unwilling to admit or mention it.
“She said she was the one who turned you into a stray beast. So you used to be partners? I saw that you still have very strong feelings for her. She also doesn’t seem like an unreasonable female. What happened that the partner mark had to be removed?”
Peter laughed bitterly. He gazed towards the cave and said in a vague manner, “She really talked to you…”
Gu Mengmeng sighed. “If you don’t wish to tell me, I won’t force you. But I can honestly tell you that in her current condition, she will not be able to survive this winter season. Even if I give you the Kiss of the Ocean, she is unable to withstand its power in her present state. If you force it on her, she will die from it.
Peter frowned. He stared at Gu Mengmeng aggressively. He was obviously stung by Gu Mengmeng saying that that female will die.
But…
This little female who said that she will die, was the only person who could make her talk over the past few months.
Perhaps, she really had a way?
Suppressing his displeasure, Peter spoke gradually. “The divorce… was because she had never liked me right from the start. No matter what I did, she would only avoid me. She ran the moment she saw me, and did not give me any chance at all. So… I forced myself on her.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. So he raped her?! No wonder she couldn’t care less about your life and death and wanted to divorce you. If it was Gu Mengmeng, she would also never allow the mark of her rapist to remain on her own body.
“Don’t look at me like that. Even now, I don’t feel like I did anything wrong.” Peter lifted his head and continued. “Firstly, the fact that I was able to snatch her from her partner and bring her to a remote location to force myself on her—this proved her partner was too weak and was unable to protect her. She needed a strong partner to protect her. Secondly, I mated with her using my own life as a betting chip. After I mated with her, her life would be equal to mine. She would know that I would never harm her. Even if she was unable to love me, I am willing to watch over her for the rest of my life without anything in return. To hold off all danger for her. Even if I were to perish, I was willing.”
“But obviously… I lost. Even though I handed my life over to her, she remained unwilling to even look at me. She was still afraid of me and resisted me. She was unwilling to believe that I would never hurt her…”
Gu Mengmeng interrupted Peter coldly. “But the fact is that you did hurt her. Jerks will be jerks. No matter how much you pretend to be deeply in love, it does not change the fact you tormented her for over 10 years.”
“I didn’t!” Peter denied vehemently.
Not to be outdone, Gu Mengmeng asked, “You didn’t? You raped her, didn’t you?”
“I just needed a chance to prove to her that I love her!” Peter rumbled.
Gu Mengmeng sneered. “You love her so you forced her to do something she didn’t like? Did you ever think that your so-called ‘chance’ would make her feel so helpless, so humiliated, so frightened? You are trying to prove to her that she doesn’t need to be afraid of you, via such a hurtful process? This is a ridiculous point of view.”
