Would he really come in?
Mango was in a dilemma. She pulled the quilt with her both hands and felt miserable.
Well, she only ate junk food and did nothing else.
Did he have to go so far?
At worst, she'll just confess to him.
Thinking of this, Mango lifted the blanket. Nathaniel opened the door just as she was about to do the same.
"Nathan, you're back!"
Mango immediately turned obsequious.
There was a lump in Nathaniel's throat as he gazed down at Mango's smile. He did not know where to start.
He did not want to make Mango unhappy, but he could not keep Zion's mental illness a secret from her.
Mango felt flustered seeing that Nathaniel did not pay attention to her but instead, he looked at her with a very complicated expression.
"I wasn't really angry with you just now. I know that it's nothing wrong to watch porn because you're a man. Fine, I admit that I took advantage of it and I became angry at you deliberately because I previously asked Lucy to help me buy some junk food and I was afraid that you won't let me eat it, so I took this opportunity to make a fuss. In fact, I only wanted to eat junk food. I've told you everything so don't be angry, okay?"
Mango's words made Nathaniel slightly startled.
What did she say?
Junk food?
Nathaniel suddenly frowned.
"You can't eat those things..."
"I know, I know. But I just can't help it! I promise you that I won't eat it anymore, okay? Don't frown now, I'm scared."
Mango blinked her big eyes at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel sighed helplessly, "Mango, I've got something to tell you."
"I know, you must be very disappointed and very angry now, right? I'm really sorry/ I promise I'll never eat it again. I know that you do it for my own good and I must eat healthy food. I totally understand."
Mango was worried so she quickly apologized.
Nathaniel turned around and closed the door. Only then did he come beside Mango. He stretched out his hands and hugged her in his arms.
Mango was startled by his actions.
"Nathan, what's wrong with you? I know I'm pretentious but I know you dote on me very much, that's why I feel like I can easily throw tantrums but I promise I won't do it again."
"No, I'll love you no matter what you do because you're my wife. I'm not angry about this because you care about me so much."
Nathaniel placed his chin on Mango's shoulder.
He felt so fragile right now. For a moment, Mango did not know what to do.
It was just junk food. What was wrong with Nathaniel?
"Nathan, you..."
"Mango, something happened to Zion."
Nathaniel had originally thought of a few ways to explain to Mango about Zion's condition. However, he realized that it would be in vain no matter how much he tried when he saw Mango.
She would be worried, sad and distressed as he did.
No matter how tactful he could be, it was better to say it directly to Mango.
As expected, Mango's body stiffened suddenly.
She pushed Nathaniel away and asked in a serious tone, "What did you say just now? I don't think I heard it right."
Mango no longer acted dingily. She was a mother now, who was worried about her child.
Nathaniel said with a pang of heartache, "The porn was sent to me by Zion!"
"Nonsense!"
Mango retorted him subconsciously.
"Nathaniel, I said that I don't care about you watching porn so why do you frame him? How old is he? He's only five years old! Are you implying that he wants to watch the video? Are you trying to tell me that he's already matured?"
Mango exploded immediately.
Nathaniel knew that nobody would believe it, which was why he did not mention Zion to Mango at first when he got hacked. However, now that he saw how agitated she was after she had finished questioning him, then he had no choice but to appease her.
"Listen to me, don't get furious. This is a very serious issue. I've already asked Lucy to take all the servants out to buy some new year gifts for their families so I'll cut straight to the point. Can you listen to me first?"
Nathaniel's expression was serious, and Mango's
