"What's wrong?"
Nathaniel saw that Mango's expression was a little strange. He quickly stood up and walked over.
Mango was dumbfounded.
Nathaniel came over and saw that the bag was full of meat.
Wild chickens, wild rabbits and a lot of other things. They were all bloody and some of them were still twitching and bleeding from the corners of the mouth.
This scene was especially irritating. If someone cowardly saw this scene, he would probably cry in terror. Although Mango did not cry, she had to endure the nausea as it was a very terrible feeling.
"So these are the new year's presents from the Hans family?"
Brantley looked pale. Then, he asked Toby to call Mateo but Mango stopped him.
"Grandpa, I'll make the call."
There was a trace of pleading on Mango's face and Brantley could not bear to refuse. He sighed and turned around, but his face was still dark.
He wanted to see what the Hans family would say first. If they were finding any excuse, he would not forgive those people.
Mango's body was still trembling. Nathaniel said with some concern, "Why don't I call them? Don't worry, I'll be polite to them."
"No, it's an act of caring from them to send us the new year presents. To show respect, I should call them instead."
Mango tried to calm down, and then picked up the phone to call Terrance.
Mango did not know if Mateo was occupied so it was better for her to call Terrance who was free.
Terrance was astounded when he saw Mango's number. Thinking of what happened during his date last time, he felt a little guilty and his voice softened.
"Hi Mango, what's up?"
Mango smiled, "Terrance, I just received the new year gifts from the Hans family. It looks delicious. Those chickens and hares are not completely dead yet, and their blood is flowing out. I heard that the taste is good if we cook them alive. Thanks for giving us such a wonderful gift."
Terrance was confounded and said subconsciously, "What chicken and hare? I didn't give you these things! I just bought some health products and asked someone to send them to you."
"It's not from you? Can it be from Mateo?"
As soon as Mango finished her words, Terrance said directly, "It's impossible. He went out on a mission and hasn't come back yet."
Hearing this, Mango's heart skipped a beat but she remained smiling, "Perhaps it was from the others. Maybe they've mixed the goods up. Never mind, I'll ask again."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Terrance was a little worried too.
"Okay, sure. Go ahead, Terrance."
After that, Mango hung up the phone.
Nathaniel was by her side, so he could naturally hear it clearly and he frowned.
Seeing Mango's expression, Brantley quickly asked, "Did the two brats from the Hans family send it?"
"No, not them."
Mango repeated Terrance's words. Then, the living room suddenly became silent.
Obviously, someone had used the Hans family's name to give them the gifts. Thinking of this, everyone felt terrible.
"I feel like I should tell Terrance and let him check who exactly sent the gift. Let's throw the animals away. It's better not to eat food given by stranger.¹' Nathaniel suggested.
The incident of Mango got poisoned by the vermin was still a lingering fear in his heart. Now, he could no longer bear such a torment.
Brantley also agreed with that.
Seeing that both of them had reached a consensus, Mango did not say anything. She immediately ordered someone to take the package out and throw it away.
Terrance began to investigate who sent the gift to Mango after receiving the news from her. Unfortunately, the person had an accident on the way back, and the driver had not yet awakened.
This news frightened Mango.
It did not look like a simple accident, and the animals really them feel eerie.
Terrance swore to investigate this matter thoroughly, and neither Nathaniel nor Brantley competed for it.
Brantley frowned and said, "Why don't you move to my place? It's not a good thing for them to cause any trouble as we've got more people there. I'm really worried about Mango now. It's almost new year already and Walter is about to get married.
We can always be alert and remind each other if we stay together, right?"
If this incident didn't happen, Mango would never want to move to Brantley's house. After all, it was so nice to have some personal time with Nathaniel and do what she wanted. However, Mango knew that both Brantley and Nathaniel were very worried about it. What was more, her children were also very concerned about her during the period when she was unwell due to the vermin.
Thinking of this, Mango glanced at Nathaniel and whispered, "Then, shall we move?"
"Yeah sure."
The most important thing for Nathaniel now was to ensure the safety of Mango. If there was no vermin incident, he would not be so afraid. Now he was worried all day and this feeling was horrible to say the least.
Seeing that Nathaniel had already agreed to it, Mango remained silent.
Brantley was very happy with Mango's decision too. He quickly asked Toby to take him home to clean up the room for Mango.
Seeing that Brantley was so happy, Toby was glad too. He smiled, "Mr. Xiao, we are now going to Mr. Song's place."
"Yes, yes of course. I have to go to Walter and get something for his bride."
As he said that, Brantley stood up and left.
