Nathaniel quickly said, "Well then, I'm going to the hospital to visit Thomas."
After saying that, he turned around and left. However, Mango immediately stopped him.
"Do you not love me anymore?"
Mango's solemn words terrified Nathaniel immediately!
However, Nathaniel wanted to please her, so he said, "How could that be possible? I love you the most!"
"Then, why did you run away when you saw me?"
Mango walked down the stairs gracefully as she said this.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel retreated slightly without realising it.
"Of... of course, I'm not running away! I only wanted to visit Thomas!"
"Thomas has Rainie to keep him company, and I think that they should spend more time together to build up their relationship. So, why are you going to disturb them?"
Mango walked towards Nathaniel as she spoke.
When Nathaniel retreated right away to the door frame, he suddenly noticed that Mango had grabbed his collar with her hand. Then, she gently stretched another hand and drew circles in front of his chest.
He suddenly felt parched.
"Look, Mango, listen to me, please. I have something to tell Thomas. I..."
"He's still in a vegetative state. What can he do for you even if you tell him about it?"
Mango looked at Nathaniel in confusion.
Nathaniel realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.
What should he do now?
Should he confess to Mango right now?
He was still thinking about what to do.
Suddenly, Mango's gaze darkened.
Hah! Nathaniel was such an idiot!
Why did he not confess even though Mango had given him a perfect chance to do so?
It seemed that he really wanted to get himself into trouble!
Mango immediately moved her hand down along his chest at this thought.
"Honey, did any pretty cops in the police station end up falling for you?" "What? How could that be possible?"
Nathaniel felt that he was burning up, and warmth was spreading all around his body quickly.
This was torture to him!
Normally, Mango would not take the lead and seduce him. Hence, now that he had just finished his operation, why was she suddenly so dominant?
Did he not satisfy her the previous night?
This couldn't be!
However, Nathaniel did not dare to evade her touch and could only pathetically bear this sweet torment.
"Honey, since Rita has fallen asleep, we..."
"Are you saying that we should go up and do it?"
Mango's eyes were gleaming.
When Nathaniel heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva!
"No... no, what I mean is we can do something else more meaningful."
As he spoke, he quickly grabbed Mango's and dragged her aside.
Mango immediately became displeased.
"Nathaniel, what are you doing? Tell me! Did you cheat on me?" "Hell no! Of course I didn't."
Nathaniel could not tell Mango the painful truth right now!
"If you didn't do that, why care you pushing me away? Nathaniel, I won't forgive you if you don't tell me the truth today!"
Mango immediately turned into a shrew. She put her hands on her hips and looked at Nathaniel with a fierce expression as if she wanted to fight him.
However, Nathaniel had to admit that she looked incredibly seductive right now!
If this happened in the past, he would've brought her to the bed and made love to her without saying anything else. But, he couldn't do that now!"
"Honey, um... I think that you should continue to act gracefully like how you always do. This fierce attitude isn't like you at all!
Nathaniel was trying to come up with an explanation so that Mango wouldn't leave him angrily.
Mango immediately put down her arms from her hips. She stared coldly at Nathaniel and said, "Nathaniel, if I find out that you're hiding something from me... Hmph!"
Mango emphasised on the last word on purpose.
Nathaniel was terrified right now, and he could feel his whole body trembling profusely!
Was it too late for him to confess now?
Nathaniel quickly pondered before he said, "Alright, I'll be honest with you now, ok?"
"Ok. Go ahead then."
Mango sat down on the sofa and took a sip of warm water to moisten her throat.
After all, being a shrew was too tiring!
Mango was too exhausted!
While Mango was drinking water, Nathaniel hurriedly said, "Thomas wasn't in a vegetative state, and he was just faking it. Let me explain the whole incident to you."
Mango frowned slightly when she heard this.
She wasn't interested in what happened to Thomas!
After all, Thomas was nobody to her.
Obviously, Nathaniel didn't know what Mango wanted to know.
Therefore, Mango abruptly stood up, which immediately startled Nathaniel.
"What's wrong?" "I don't want to listen to you anymore! Nathaniel, I hope you don't regret your decisions! Hmph!"
After saying that, Mango directly turned around and went upstairs.
Nathaniel immediately started panicking when he saw her reaction.
Did he say something wrong?
Didn't Mango want him to confess?
Why did she get mad even though he was telling the truth?
Why did he feel that it was getting more difficult for him to read his wife's mind?
On the other hand, Mango did not care what Nathaniel was thinking.
Urgh! Her husband was too annoying!
How long did he plan to keep his vasectomy a secret from her?
Mango was his wife, but she knew nothing about it! Heck! Even someone like Emberly had known about his surgery before she did. So, now that she was giving him a chance, why couldn't he tell her the truth?
When she thought about this, she didn't feel like talking to Nathaniel anymore.
