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
"Ms. Liu?" Mango softly called out to the teacher.? Meanwhile, Ms. Liu had originally thought that a successful man like Nathaniel would always be cold and boring, so how could he be loving like a regular man? But what did she see? Unexpectedly, she managed to witness Nathaniel's loving nature towards his children. Thus, he seemed less distant to her.? She didn't know how to describe this feeling, but Ms. Liu felt bewitched.? So, even a successful man like Nathaniel could be this friendly.? When Mango noticed that Ms. Liu was unresponsive to her calls, her expression worsened.? Without saying anything to the teacher, she followed Nathaniel and the children out of the kindergarten immediately.? To Zion and Rita, the incident earlier was just like a passing cloud to them, and they'd forgotten it completely.? Now they were having a lot of fun with Nathaniel.? Zion never knew that the feeling of sitting on Nathaniel's should
Mango took Zion away from the shooting game to reunite with Nathaniel and Rita.? Meanwhile, Rita was having a lot of fun.? However, Nathaniel noticed that Zion seemed unhappy and he asked confusedly, "What's wrong? What's got you so down?" "It's nothing." Zion shook his head at once. Mango replied in a low voice when she noticed that Zion was unhappy, "Zion, if you really like shooting, have Daddy to find a coach when you're older. I feel uneasy if you learn how to shoot when you're so young, you know?" "Got it." Zion was especially quiet and obedient right now, but no one knew how stubborn he could be when it came to something he wanted. Mango heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Zion listened to her and she said to Nathaniel, "It's nothing. I met a man who gave me the creeps, and I didn't want Zion to interact with him." "Who was it?" "He was from the shooting club. Either way, he didn't give me a particularly good feel
"What's wrong?" Wisdom was acting unusually now, and he made Nathaniel's expression sour.? "No...nothing." Wisdom shrunk and he tried to escape Nathaniel's grasp, but to no avail. On the other hand, he frowned tightly as if he was in great pain.? Nathaniel lifted Wisdom's arm suddenly.? There were multiple bruises on Wisdom's arm, and Nathaniel's heart swelled with sorrow when he saw them.? "Nickl! What the f*ck is wrong with you? Wisdom is your biological son!" Nathaniel never expected that Wisdom would have been beaten so badly in such a short time. Most importantly, he was covered in lash marks.? Wisdom was barely four years old, yet he was tortured like this.? Although Wisdom looked healthier and less pale, the scars underneath his clothes angered Nathaniel greatly.? Just then, he lifted Wisdom's clothes to check.? Upon seeing Wisdom's wounds, Nathaniel pulled him aside and he grabbed Nick's collar, "He is your son,
