"Cut it out!"
Mango couldn't stand Nathaniel's tickling and immediately jumped away.
"Where are you going?"
Nathaniel pretended to chase after her. They ran like kids for a moment. Their joyous laughter filled the backyard which made people feel more relaxed.
Looking at the couple chasing each other through the french window, Aria couldn't help being envious.
Love was supposed to look like this.
How did her love go so wrong?
She often thought that she could receive the relationship that she yearned through her efforts, but only then did she realize that she was being too naive.
Looking at both Mango and Nathaniel outside, Aria couldn't help but think of Michael's cold and ruthless face.
She wondered how the man was doing.
Could he still be alive after losing so much blood?
There was uncertainty in Aria's heart.
Nobody would talk to her besides Mango. Michael's people guarded outside her room, and she could tell their disgust and hatred towards her from their eyes.
She was indeed a heinous woman in their eyes.
Aria gave a wry smile.
What the heck had she turned her life into?
Even though the blood on her hand had been wiped away, she still didn't dare to close her eyes. As soon as she closed her eyes, she felt suffocated upon seeing Michael and also herself enshrouded with a lot of fresh blood.
It was torture to kill someone.
Mango seemed to realize that someone was looking at her. She turned around and discovered the figure standing in front of the french window. She suddenly couldn't say a thing.
Nathaniel looked in the direction of her gaze and said faintly, "We can't interfere with others' lives because everybody has their own way of living."
"I know. I simply feel uneasy."
Mango nodded. Holding Nathaniel's hand, they walked for a while before returning to their room.
They heard that their children were having fun themselves.
Looking at the photos and videos taken by his subordinates, Mango smiled and said, "I get really envious of how carefree they are now. It won't be so when they grow older."
"Children are making their own lives. Why do you worry so much?"
Nathaniel was slightly worried about Mango's body and asked someone to turn on the heating.
Mango kept Nathaniel company and asked in a low voice, "When you retire in the future, shall we come over and live in seclusion here?"
"I will listen to whatever you say."
Nathaniel's reply had literally made Mango unimpeachable.
They talked lovingly for a while before someone came and brought news to them.
"Boss, I've made a clear investigation that Augustus is Maverick's father, while there isn't any information regarding his mother. He has been living abroad all these years. Rumors said that he's quite capable. He has a group of assassins, which is called Phantom on triads. They can receive orders for their business. As long as you give a sufficient pay, there is no one they can't kill. However, he has restrained himself quite a lot in recent years."
Nathaniel slightly frowned.
Augustus!
It was a name that he hadn't heard of for quite a long time.
If it wasn't Mango who reminded him, he probably wouldn't even remembered the name.
His mother's name was unknown?
Was it because Augustus didn't tell Maverick who his mother was?
Once again Nathaniel recalled of Nanny Zhang.
His expression sank slightly upon remembering the Memory Venom and Golden Lancehead Venom inside his body.
Did Augustus come from Longford County?
Probably not.
However, he had a romantic relationship with Nanny Zhang and even gave birth to a son.
Why didn't Nanny Zhang infest the Memory Venom into Augustus's body?
In other words, why didn't she scheme against Maverick?
Was the child she had with her beloved one more important?
Nathaniel could hardly control his wish of carnage that arose from the bottom of his heart.
He wished to kill someone!
He couldn't wait to meet Maverick and kill him right at the moment!
A pair of cosy little hands gently held the back of his hand.
Nathaniel's murderous aura had come to an abrupt halt.
He frowned slightly as he looked at Mango's soothing eyes.
"What are you trying to say?"
"What do you want to hear from me?"
Mango could clearly sense Nathaniel's mood swings at the moment.
Just a moment before, she was literally freaking out over Nathaniel's abnormal behavior.
When would Nathaniel recover from such a circumstance?
She was truly terrified.
She was afraid that Nathaniel was not able to control his own emotions and he might do something irreparable whenever she was not around.
Mango's tone was subtle, which caused Nathaniel to feel somewhat frustrated.
He actually wanted to quarrel as he barely suppressed his desire to vent his feelings. However, Mango's soft tone was just like a pair of warm hands that gently caressed his frustrated heart. He couldn't help frowning and muffled, "I don't want to listen to any words."
