"When did you wake up?"
Nathaniel placed a pillow behind Mango.
Mango yawned and said, "I already woke up when you first came in. I was going to trick you, but I didn't expect that Zion came in and heard your conversation all along. Honey, isn't it bad if he doesn't want to do counselling?"
"Yes, it will affect him for a lifetime. I thought about the consequences of his first shot, but I didn't expect it to affect him so early. Now that things have already happened, I think we'd better face it. Noah will cure him. Don't worry."
Nathaniel hurriedly told her what he felt, as he was afraid that Mango would feel bad.
The things that Mango knew was somewhat similar to what Nathaniel had said. Just because she was a mother to Zion, and that was why she was so worried.
"As long as Barney is here, Zion will be better."
Nathaniel agreed upon hearing Mango's words.
"By the way, Barney has followed Genevieve to learn medicine. I don't know how she is doing now. She's a pitiful kid. Her sister is missing now, and Denver asked me to help find Anaya."
At the thought of this, Mango sighed.
Originally, they were the two people who were the closest to each other in the world, but they could not see each other for some reasons. Fortunately, Barney was loved and taken good care by the Soo family, so her personality gradually became cheerful.
When Nathaniel heard that it was Denver who asked it, he said casually, "I will ask Ned to investigate and see where Anaya went. She is a special child. She could survive in the club. Anaya probably ran away in advance when Kolton sieged the Blu family."
"No, she won't."
Mango immediately frowned.
She did not really believe that Anaya was such a person.
The Blu family adopted her, and Denver was very kind to her. Mango could not accept it if she fled when the Blu family was in danger.
Nathaniel naturally knew the reason for Mango's rejection. He did not argue and simply said, "Let's see what was the truth after we got the result from Ned." "All right."
Mango was down because of this matter.
Nathaniel hated to see his wife in a bad mood, so he quickly said, "Are you unhappy?"
"It's fine. By the way, why did you go to the military area? How was it?"
Nathaniel did not mention Esther's call to him.
Nathaniel said lightly, "It's okay. I may go to the military region several times in the next few days to apply for the formalities of retirement."
"Are you sure you don't want to stay in the military region?"
Mango was a little surprised. However, she could more or less guess why Nathaniel had made this decision.
"Well, I want to live the rest of my life for you."
Mango felt like she wanted to cry upon hearing this.
"I'm sure Chief Eaves doesn't want you to go. I heard that it takes a lot of resources for the country to train a soldier. Isn't it too selfish for you to leave like this? I'm dragging you down."
"What nonsense are you talking about, huh?"
Nathaniel pulled Mango into his arms and said in a deep voice, "It has nothing to do with you. I admit that before I met you, the military region was the place I wanted to be in the most. There were no schemes and tricks there. However, ever since I met you, I felt that I could no longer go all out for the country. Do you know what is my greatest concern now? You. I don't think I can lead the army well anymore. Bringing the rest of the soldiers into the battlefield with me will cost their lives, I might as well return home now and offer this position to someone who is more capable. This is what a veteran should do."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango felt at ease.
Her husband's speech was indeed astonishing.
"Chief Eaves won't blame me, will he?"
"No, he'll figure it out. After all, he is also deeply in love with his wife."
Of course, Nathaniel knew that Morgan was reluctant to let him go, but one day Morgan would understand.
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango no longer had any other concerns.
After a while, Lucy asked them to go down for lunch.
Newell also came out. He greeted Nathaniel when they saw each other, while Nathaniel only gave him a nod.
Newell was feeling blue because of Sisi.
Nathaniel could not bear to see him like this, and he whispered, "Tesla South construction plan has been a bit troublesome recently. Check it out in the afternoon, and it will be handled by you from now on. Ned has other things to work on recently. You should watch over Tesla South."
Newell was immediately startled.
Newell felt that it was definitely pie in the sky since many people were fighting to get Tesla South. However, Nathaniel suppressed everyone and he was willing to offer him this profitable plan.
However, on second thought, he understood the intention of Nathaniel.
Newell's was touched.
"Nathan, I don't have enough experience now. I don't think it's good for me to take over the case. I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
Nathaniel was very gratified by Newell's refusal. He smiled, "If I give you the job, just do it. At worst, I will clean up the mess for you later. But Newell, sooner or later, you will have to take over a subsidiary company by yourself. This is my expectation for you. You are my brother-in-law. You can't always stay home and work as a bodyguard. You should learn more about the company's affairs. When your child is born, you have to earn something for your child, right?"
Hearing this, Newell was moved.
Nathaniel had thought for him in the long run. Newell was glad that he had such a generous brother-in-law.
"Okay, I'll learn diligently."
Newell nodded.
Everyone remained silent when they noticed Sisi and Laney were not on the dining table.
Zion and Wisdom knew the reason, but Mango was curious to know why Rita also felt that it was natural, as she did not ask anything.
However, Mango thought that her daughter was too careless. She might not have considered this point, so she did not dare to mention this topic. Mango was afraid that her daughter would ask too much.
Nathaniel glanced at Rita with a thoughtful look.
Rita ate with great relish. It seemed that there was nothing in the world that she would care about besides eating. However, he knew that Rita must have noticed something, but she just did not want to ask.
