Walter was so happy that Sophia had recovered that he ignored Mango and Nathaniel's presence. "He brought Sophia to the car in a hurry, while holding her hand the whole time, until Sophia suddenly stopped in her tracks." "Mango, are you free tomorrow? Come over to my home. I'll cook something delicious for you! I want to thank you." Sophia was especially gentle to Mango. Walter suddenly recalled what Nathaniel had said just now. He finally understood what he meant now. "As he looked at Nathaniel's fierce expression, he couldn't help but snicker and say, ""Yeah, my mother's cooking is awesome. I haven't tasted it for a long time. Mango, you should come.""" I... Mango isn't free. We have something to do tomorrow. I'm sorry. Maybe next time. Nathaniel said quickly before Mango could open her mouth. "Mango paused for a moment before smiling, ""That's right, Auntie. I really do have something to do tomorrow. I'll come some other day."""
"Looking at Mango's starry eyes, Nathaniel smiled and brushed her nose." Why not? My wife wants to draw a portrait of me. I would always make time for you. Did you put honey on your mouth today? I can't stand the cheesiness anymore. "Mango shook her head as she said this, then quickly turned around and left." "Nathaniel grabbed her hand and said, ""Who else do you want to stand if you can't stand me?""" I don't know. Maybe someone who isn't that smart. You wouldn't! Who said I wouldn't? "After saying that, Mango turned and ran away quickly." Don't run away like a coward! Nathaniel ran after her too. "Mango laughed as she ran, ""I'm not a guy. I can be a coward.""" Aren't you going to stop?! I'll stop if you catch me! Mango and Nathaniel were running on the bustling street like two children. "Their laughter echoed in the air. It was pure, sincere, and touched the hearts of anyone who heard it."
Who's there? "Mango became alert as she shouted. But, there wasn't any sound coming from outside anymore." Could it be my own illusion? Mango stood up and walked over carefully. "This was the Hans family household, after all. Therefore Novalee wouldn't dare to do anything, right?" Mango walked over to the window and opened it very carefully. It turned out no one was there. Could it be that she'd misheard? Mango couldn't help but think of it that way. Maybe it was because of Walter's call that made her a little nervous. "Mango let out a sigh of relief and closed the window. However, she was shocked when she turned around." "A box was lying on the floor, and she couldn't wrap her head around how it got there. " Who was it? Who had such good skills? How could they come and go freely in the Hans family home? "A frown creased Mango's forehead as she carefully walked towards the box. She kicked it lightly. S
Nathan! "Mango thought that Nathaniel was going to hit Novalee, so she couldn't help but cry out. However, when Nathaniel made his move, he caught hold of a dagger." She was a little surprised. Was someone going to kill Novalee? Mango's brows furrowed at once as she quickly shielded Novalee behind her. There was a slight change in Novalee's eyes. "At this moment, a figure quickly ran out. Because he was moving fast, Mango and Nathaniel couldn't see who the other person was." "Nathaniel was going to chase after him, but he was stopped by Mango." Don't chase after him. The police are coming. Leave it to the them. I've already called them. "When Mango's words came out, Novalee turned dull. However, this time, she did not stop Mango from calling the police." Mango sighed as she looked at Novalee's current state. There was nothing she could say to her. Making other people miserable was something she couldn't do. "Nathaniel w
Oh! Oh! Oh! "Mango wanted to regain control over her body, but it was impossible." "Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Nathaniel held her in his arms right on time." What happened? Don't come over here. The floor is slippery. It seems to be oil. Mango immediately said as she saw Nathaniel was about to come in. Nathaniel's eyebrows furrowed. What is it? It is oil. Mango eventually confirmed. She lowered down to the floor slowly with Nathaniel's help and dipped her fingers on the floor then reached out in front of Nathaniel. "Nathaniel sniffed lightly, and the frown on his face deepened." Did someone do it on purpose? "I don't think it was an accident. This is the stairway entrance of the corridor. It's impossible to spill food oil here, unless it's man-made." Mango looked at Sophia who was not too far away from her. She sat on the floor and looked helplessly at Mango. She was absolutely startle
Who is this? Mango couldn't help but ask when she saw a girl that she didn't know. Sophia looked at Nathaniel in confusion as well. Nathaniel brought the girl in and hinted at her to introduce herself. "The girl was a little shy, but she still introduced herself in a low voice after seeing Mango and Sophia, ""I'm Itzel Zhang's daughter. My mother is missing.""" Who is Itzel Zhang? Mango subconsciously looked at Sophia. "Sophia quickly explained, ""Itzel is our nanny. She said that her daughter was ill, and asked me for some money then left. What do you mean that she's missing?""" "The girl bit her lower lip and pondered for a while before saying, ""My name is Iona Abbott. Itzel is my stepmother. She mistreated me ever since I was a child. I would only drink some ginger soup to get me through it whenever I am sick. I rarely go to the hospital. A man came to see her yesterday, and she went out for a while. She barely spoke to me when she ca
Mango and Nathaniel's eyes met as they listened to Sophia. "If Novalee wanted to harm Sophia, she wouldn't have taken Sophia away with her. Her actions proved that she did love Walter. She might've known what was about to happen and was secretly protecting Sophia for Walter's sake. " "Mango said in a hushed tone as she thought about it, ""Let's not talk about this right now. We should wait and see what's her condition before determining the next move."" " Seems like it's the only thing we could do. Sophia nodded. "When Nathaniel saw this, he said, ""I will go with Iona now to find her mother and Cyrus, and I will call for extra help to come here just in case something happens. If you need anything, then let me know.""" "Nathaniel's worried expression made Mango smiled and said, ""I understand. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'll probably go see Walter later.""" "Alright, take good care of yourself. I'll head out now." Nathaniel then sai
"Auntie, I..." "Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say that. You already know what I'm going to do either. I only have one request for you, I hope you can pretend you don't know what I'm going to do and don't stop me from doing it. Do you think you can do that? Mango, for the sake of your mother and me, you have to agree to my request no matter what." Sophia tightly grasped onto Mango's hand. Mango was extremely conflicted. "Auntie, I really..." "Mango, I'm your biological aunt and Walter is your true cousin. Do you really want him to ruin his whole life?" "What Sophia had said made Mango speechless. She wanted to say something, anything, but the words seemed to stick inside her throat, and she couldn't get them out." "I promise that I won't hurt Novalee. I want to send her away and stop her from being with Walter. After all, she has done me a favor and saved me. I'm not an ungrateful person." Sophia quickly added as she saw the hesitation
