“But Sandy…” Gu Mengmeng was still very worried.
Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little nose. “Have you forgotten that Cole is now cooperating with me. For us to forget past grievances and cooperate properly, he must exhibit some sincerity, don’t you agree?”
Gu Mengmeng frowned in confusion.
Lea smiled. “I will go speak with him and ask him to undo the bewitchment on Sandy.”
Gu Mengmeng was surprised. “Will he listen to you?”
Lea said, “I will let him know you possess the purest Fox Seductive Fragrance and also know bewitching spells. You will undo it even if he doesn’t… do you think he will then?”
Gu Mengmeng thought about it before finally understanding Lea’s meaning.
If Gu Mengmeng didn’t have the Fox Seductive Fragrance and didn’t know the bewitching spell—they would be begging him for a favor if they sought him out.
But now that she had the purest form of Fox Seductive Fragrance and also knew bewitching spells, seeking Cole now would be giving him a chance to express his loyalty.
Cole would naturally never let such an opportunity pass.
Nodding, Gu Mengmeng asked, “Then what should I do?”
Lea waved his tail. “Nothing. Even if he takes the opportunity to express his sincerity… it doesn’t mean you have to accept it.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed and pointed at Lea’s brow. “You are such a baddie, but I love it!”
Gu Mengmeng’s heart lightened considerably now that they had a plan for the issues regarding Oakley and Sandy.
During dinner, the three young ones returned to the stone castle in a noisy rush. They were all momentarily stunned by the sight of Gu Mengmeng, before charging into her arms.
Gu Mengmeng’s mood improved significantly as she gazed at her three little ones.
They were just over a year old but already look like children around the age of 8-9. Still youthful but with none of the babyish mannerisms. Gu Mengmeng regretted that she had never seen her own children in the early stages of their infancy.
Nevertheless, Gu Mengmeng was glad that they had a maturity and sensibility that was beyond their years.
“Let’s go find your mother-in-law to have dinner together, alright?” Gu Mengmeng was still rather worried about Sandy.”
The three young ones all looked resistant and awkward at her suggestion. They stepped back and said reluctantly, “Mother, it’s better that you don’t go over…”
“Mmm? Why?” Gu Mengmeng remembered that they had a really good relationship with Sandy.
Hede sighed. “Mother-in-law is in a very flustered state now. If you go over… you need to be prepared to keep explaining how Chixuan is not the son of you and Cole, as well as drag out all sorts of evidence to prove that Cole is not your partner.”
Gu Mengmeng felt her head starting to ache.
But Sandy was pregnant now and exceptionally sensitive. If they leave her all by herself with her wild imagination, it would not be good for both her and her unborn child. Further, this was her first pregnancy and they could not take any risks.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis and Lea helplessly. “It might turn awkward later, do you want to come with me?”
Elvis stood up and carried Gu Mengmeng in his arms. “I will come with you.”
Lea also stood up and patted the dust off him. “Then I will go find Cole. If I can convince him, I will bring him over to Sandy’s to lift the spell.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and bade Lea farewell at the doorway. She and Elvis brought the three little ones over to Sandy’s, while Lea went alone to the meeting room to find Cole.
