Gu Mengmeng stared at Lea in surprise. “You can do it?”
Lea hesitated and didn’t answer. Instead, he smiled and asked Gu Mengmeng, “Do you wish that I can do it?”
This meant he could.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and gave a gentle pinch to Lea’s arm. She then turned to look at Leonard. “Alright then, I agree to your three conditions.”
Right after Gu Mengmeng completed her sentence and before Leonard had time to utter a word of thanks, Dora struggled to speak, “Wait a minute…” Peter was still clutching her neck and her voice was weak and wispy.
Gu Mengmeng waved and Peter just walked back to Gu Mengmeng’s side as if nothing had happened.
Finally freed, Dora laid on the white tiger gasping for breath. After a long while, she raised her head and addressed Gu Mengmeng. “I want to change the third condition.”
Gu Mengmeng lifted her chin as she looked down at Dora. To be honest, Gu Mengmeng didn’t have a good impression of Dora.
The reason was simple. Gu Mengmeng liked Melinda and she hated anyone who bullied her.
But hatred didn’t mean complete destruction. As long as you didn’t come inviting trouble, Gu Mengmeng could turn a blind eye in general.
But since she had spoken, Gu Mengmeng wanted to hear what she had to say. This was the Dora who had suggested to Carter to imprison Melinda. Gu Mengmeng wanted to see what she wished for now.
So Gu Mengmeng said with a neutral expression. “Mmm, tell me.”
Dora’s eyes were still bulging from being strangled by Peter, and there were obvious red marks on her neck. Peter was truly unsympathetic towards any female other than Natalie.
But Dora didn’t seem to care. “I want a male. Give him to me.”
Damn, Gu Mengmeng stroked her own chin.
She was still considered a demure beauty right? Did she look like a human trafficker?
“Miss, sorry but I don’t deal in human trafficking.” Gu Mengmeng smirked.
Leonard’s brows were deeply furrowed. His eyes, which were filled with worry and rage earlier, only held desolation and pain now. He stared at Dora and asked her in a quivering voice. “You are still unable to forget him?”
Dora turned and bit her lower lip. “I will never be able to forget him in this lifetime. You… knew this.”
Leonard sighed and smiled bitterly. “I know. I know…”
Leonard was a strong and sturdy man, but like a crumbling mountain peak, he now appeared desolate and somewhat wretched.
He slowly unclenched his fists before going over to hold Dora gently by her shoulders. “Let the Messenger cleanse you of your marks first. Then I will go capture him back for you. You are so beautiful and kind, he will never reject you.”
Dora’s eyes turned red. She had not cried earlier even when she was being nearly strangled to death. But she was now sobbing heavily. “You know that is impossible, do you not? I have reserved the status of first partner for him, but he has never even deigned to look at me. Now that I am so dirty, all the more he will never like me.”
“Even so, you still want him?” Leonard wiped her tears with an aching heart.
“Yes,” Dora replied through clenched jaws. “As tainted as I am now, I still reserved that position for him. I want him, I must have him. Even if he doesn’t love me and hates me, even if I have to imprison him to make him stay by my side, I want him. Even in death, his body must belong only to me!”
