"What're you doing? Are you going to use your gun just because you can't retaliate? You're totally a coward!"
Mango looked at Xander with contempt and she didn't care about his actions at all.
"Anyway, even if you were to kill me with a gun, I must say that my husband is really handsome and he's way more attractive than you!"
However, Xander's eyes flickered in anger after hearing her words.
Was this woman a fool or was she really insane?
He believed that all women would be afraid of terrorists!
"You, come out!"
Xander directly called out a woman and she was so scared that she screamed and begged for mercy.
"Please don't kill me! I beg you!"
The woman was so terrified that she cried fiercely.
It was only now that Xander felt reassured.
That was right!
That was how a hostage should behave in front of
terrorists.
Then, he looked at Mango again and he saw her giving him a disdainful glare before she turned to look at the surveillance screen once again with a happy smile.
"My husband is so handsome even when he's driving."
At that moment, Xander's head was throbbing in pain.
"Turn off the surveillance monitor!"
"Uh... Sir, you won't be able to track Nathaniel's position if we turn it off..."
The subordinate said gingerly.
Then, Xander gave him a slap.
"Are you stupid? Can't you go out and monitor him if the screen is off?"
"Yes, yes."
His subordinate was hit for no reason, but he quickly turned off the monitor and ran out.
Meanwhile, Mango was somewhat disappointed as she could no longer see Nathaniel.
"Can I go out and wait for my husband?"
"No! You stay here obediently!"
Xander had a headache.
Mango was totally a fool!
How could she fangirl over Nathaniel under such circumstances?
Was it necessary for her to display her affection publicly when they already had children?
Mango was probably just teasing Xander since he didn't have a girlfriend!
At that moment, Xander was very depressed.
He felt that he had failed as a terrorist as he was so pissed off by a stupid woman that he kept stomping his foot.
Then, he glared fiercely at Mango before turning around to smoke a cigarette.
"Can you smoke outside?"
Mango choked and she started coughing.
Xander was smoking a handmade hookah, so the smell was really strong.
However, Xander said with a wicked smile, "I am a terrorist, do you think that I will listen to you?"
"That's true."
Mango nodded her head in a serious manner before she found a place to sit down.
When would Nathaniel come?
She really missed him at that moment.
On the other hand, Xander did not talk to Mango anymore after seeing that she went silent.
Soon, the sound of a car engine came from outside.
Xander's men hurried in to report it to him.
"Sir, Nathaniel is here."
At that instant, Mango stood up and walked out without hesitation, but Xander grabbed her collar directly.
"What are you doing?"
"Behave yourself as my hostage. Don't forget that your son is still in my hands."
Immediately, Xander took out an AK47 and pointed it at Mango's waist.
It was only now that Mango felt pain.
Her back!
She was indeed in a dire situation.
Then, Mango walked out of the hall with Xander's gun pressed against her.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked really dazzling and attractive under the sun as he was dressed in his military suit.
He leaned against the car and watched as Mango walked out. Immediately, he scanned his eyes across Mango's body as he was really worried. He let out a sigh of relief only when he saw that she wasn't injured.
"Honey!"
Mango smiled widely.
She called him sweetly as usual as if he had just come back from work. Nathaniel no longer felt exhausted at that moment.
It was surprising that she could still show her deep affection for him despite the current situation.
"Are you scared?"
Nathaniel spoke while his pleasantly deep and mellow voice was extremely alluring and comforting.
Mango was entirely indulged in his tenderness.
"Not at all! Do you know that I killed Lawrence and harmed Bernard's people? Aren't I incredible?"
Mango sought credit like a child.
"You're marvelous. My wife is the best."
