Hence, Mango suddenly felt a little awkward. It seemed like she hadn't given much thought to where her children were going to stay.? Mr. Shen had no choice but to interrupt Mrs. Shen upon seeing how much of a dilemma Mango was in, "Hey, what's wrong with you? The kids can choose where they want to go, so why are you asking? Plus, Rita is the Ye family's granddaughter as well, so why shouldn't she go back?" However, Mrs. Shen felt a little insulted by his words.? "I'm just asking. Rita loves my cooking the most, and I just want to prepare in advance if she's coming home." Mango's heart was filled with a bitter feeling at Mrs. Shen's words.? Ever since she left home five years ago, her parents had lived a lonely existence. Now that they finally had Rita, they were reluctant to part with her. Thus, Mango was really at a loss as to what to do.? "Mom and Dad, today is the day Nathan comes home, so we might go for dinner at the Ye's Mansion. How abou
"Madam, please sit down." Merle knew that Mango's body had yet to fully recover, so he reminded her softly.? Mango fastened her seatbelt and she replied, "Don't worry about me, just do what you have to." Hence, Merle kept silent after receiving the order but he sped up the car.? Just then, the car behind them followed suit to catch up with them.? Soon after, both cars were embroiled in a tense chase on the road.? Mango was quite unused to the situation, but she held on tightly to the safety handle.? Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind and she asked, "Are there any of our men around the kindergarten?" "Rest assured, Madam. I've already made the necessary arrangements. I guarantee that Rita and Zion will be safe and sound." "Okay, that's good." Mango closed her eyes after she knew that the children would be safe. Alas, she became nauseous as the car was racing down the road so quickly. Then, the car ducked out onto a high
Thoughts floated in Mango's head of their own accord, and her mind drifted farther away.? She thought of how painfully Nathaniel had struggled, and her heart broke when Noah suggested the two-day observation period. Merle took advantage of Mango's temporary lapse in attention to breathe a sigh of relief.? He knew that he should restrain his emotions as soon as possible. Mango was not someone he could desire.? The car sped along the highway on the way to the airport.? Mango and Merle both were immersed in their thoughts, and they did not speak to each other. After that, they arrived at the airport.? Mango was impatient in getting off the car and she said to Merle, "Stop the car, I'm going to the arrival hall first." "Madam, no, I should call you Mrs. Ye due to the crowds here. Mrs. Ye, there are too many people here. I think you should wait until I park, then we can enter together." It was clear that Merle cared very much about Mango
Mango knew that Madam Ye was worried about her, but she didn't want Nathaniel to know what had happened. So, she hurriedly cut in, "I'll go with you and draw the bath." "All right." It was clear that Nathaniel did not want to separate from Mango at all.? Madam Ye felt even sorrier for Mango once she saw her acting like this.? "I'll have someone to prepare food." "It's fine, Mom. I had breakfast on the plane, so I just want to rest after my shower." Nathaniel was exhausted. All his life, he had never felt so utterly exhausted. If it wasn't for the thought of Mango sustaining him, Nathaniel wasn't sure if he would make it back.? Mango also felt her heart ached at the sight of the dark circles beneath Nathaniel's eyes.? "Mom, we're not hungry yet, so we'll be resting in our room." "Okay, go ahead." Madam Ye knew that there wasn't any point in speaking to Nathaniel now. Even if she did, he wouldn't even listen.? After
Nathaniel left the hospital instantly. Noah knew he was worried. If it was his wife, Noah might've gone mad. However, he was relieved to find that Nathaniel was okay, and Noah would try his best to help his friend with everything else.? By the time Nathaniel returned to the Ye's Mansion, Mango had yet to wake up. Nathaniel felt as if his heart were being slowly sliced by a blade as he gazed upon her sleeping face.? Madam Ye couldn't help but say when she saw that Nathaniel had returned so quickly, "Mango usually sleeps for two to three hours, so don't disturb her. Come down, and let's talk." After that, Nathaniel left Mango's side and went to the study room with his mother.? "What do you think of Susie's escape?" Madam Ye's words surprised Nathaniel for a moment before he said, "I think there must be a spy inside our family. If not, Susie wouldn't be able to escape so quietly with our level of security." "Who do you think the mole is?"
The hug hurt Mango a little bit, but she did not stop Nathaniel.? She could see that he was particularly fragile right now. Mango had always thought that he was omnipotent, but now only did she realize that he looked like a child starved of a mother's love when he was helpless. However, it was different from what she felt for Zion as there were also romantic feelings in the mix.? "As I said, I won't let you suffer anymore, but it seems to me like you hurt more after you married me than before. I'm useless as I couldn't protect you. I can't imagine what I'd do if I came home and saw you lying on that hospital bed. If I can't protect my wife, am I even a man?" Nathaniel was currently drowning in self-blame. He always felt that a man should endure everything, but Nathaniel realized that his experience paled in comparison with Mango's when he found out what happened.? His incompetence had caused danger to his loved ones.? "Mango, I'm sorry."
Zion felt as if he wanted to murder someone, but he decided to ignore Mrs. Montfort as he rushed to help Rita up.? "Are you hurt?" Zion was very anxious.? His expression shifted when he saw that Rita's left cheek had swelled up. ? "It hurts, Zion!" Rita had never been hit like this, and tears poured out of her eyes.? However, Mrs. Montford sneered before saying, "You little brat, how dare you think yourself capable to compete with Bobby? You deserved it!" Although Ms. Liu did not know who Zion and Rita truly were, she knew that Mango wasn't from any ordinary family judging by her demeanor. Now that Mrs. Montfort had hit Rita so badly, she had no idea how to explain it to Mango.? "Mrs. Montford, you've gone too far! How can you hit a child over their own little scuffle?" Ms. Liu chastised Mrs. Montford angrily.? Yet, the other woman replied indifferently, "So what if I hit her? She's just a transfer student, so her parent
Nathaniel cleared his throat and held Rita's hand.? "My dear, girls shouldn't be looking at boys' crotches." "He peed his pants, so I talked to him about it. Yet, Bobby said he didn't do it, so I told him to take off his pants and prove it. But he refused and called me a ruffian, so that's why we all ignored him." Rita explained haughtily, but Mango felt as if she was going to die from embarrassment.? Her daughter had actually asked to see someone else's private part, so naturally, the other party would resist.? Was Rita really their daughter? How did Mango not know how shameless their daughter was? She felt a huge wave of shame crash over her.? If Mango knew the truth, then she wouldn't have set foot into the class.? On the other hand, Nathaniel was also very surprised.? Only Zion remained calm as he was on the scene when the incident happened. Although Rita was quite brash, it was his duty to protect her.? It would be
