Chapter 955: Good Boys, Call Them Uncles
The cave which used to belong to Elvis, and which Gu Mengmeng had temporarily stayed in during the winter—no stray beast dared to go near it anymore.
No one knew if it was because the Beast King aura left behind by Gu Mengmeng was too overpowering, or because Cole had passed down the message that it was forbidden.
Anyway, when Elvis and Lea brought Gu Mengmeng back to that cave, it was left exactly the same as before. All the furnishings were accounted for and completely untouched. The only addition was a layer of dust which could be easily cleaned off.
Elvis and Lea expressed satisfaction that there wasn’t any scent left behind by anyone else.
With Gu Mengmeng in his arms, Elvis led the three little ones to visit Peter and Natalie. Lea remained at the cave to tidy up.
Gu Mengmeng was dumbfounded when they reached Natalie’s cave.
Who could tell her just who were those six babies right in front of her...
Her mother-in-law had given birth to a litter of pups, all of whom were even younger than her sons...
“hi...” Gu Mengmeng felt rather awkward. How was she going to introduce her mother-in-law to her own sons?
Hmm...
Come sons, this woman recuperating from childbirth is your grandmother and these six infants are your uncles. Good boys, call them uncles...
The thought of her teenage sons addressing those suckling babies as uncles... that was something too incredulous for Gu Mengmeng to accept.
But they were already standing there and it would not be right not to introduce everyone.
Elvis seemed to know the dilemma that Gu Mengmeng was in, and so spoke up for her. He pointed at each of his sons. “Hede, Jialue, Kanwu.”
Natalie was already physically weak from the onset, and now after giving birth, she looked like she had been suffering from a major illness. But she was still very happy at being able to see Elvis and the three little ones. She sat up and leaned against Peter’s chest. Smiling, she greeted the three youngsters. “Hello, I am Natalie.”
“Hello.” The three little ones returned her greeting politely but didn’t tag on any appellation.
Gu Mengmeng twisted her lips. She didn’t know how to express her current emotions.
Elvis whispered at her ear, “The family relations in the Beast World are different from where you came from. Over here, family relations only extend for one generation, between parents and children. That means that Natalie and Peter are my father and mother, but to Hede and his brothers, they are just Natalie and Peter. So you don’t need to bother yourself with any of that complicated family hierarchy and seniority stuff.”
Gu Mengmeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief on hearing Elvis’ explanation.
It was a happy thing that her sons didn’t need to go addressing some babies as their uncles.
Peter didn’t have any intention of greeting those three little ones. He only had eyes for Natalie and those six babies.
They were both the offspring of Natalie and him, but his attitude towards this batch of babies was a cry from his behavior towards Elvis’ batch. Fortunately, Elvis had never expected anything in terms of family relations. Otherwise, he would definitely be feeling very upset now.
Gu Mengmeng played with her little brother-in-laws. She found them extremely cute and wanted to hold them but was stopped by Elvis. He asked with a cold expression, “What, do you want brothers to share a wife now? Mmm?”
The corners of Gu Mengmeng’s lips twitched. She pointed at those palm-sized infants. “Do you think I am a pervert?”
“They will look like me after they mature.” Elvis paused before continuing. “I have not forgotten that drooling look on your face when you first saw me.”
