"What do you think?"
Nathaniel looked fairly unbothered by his brand new appearance.
"Uek! You're so ugly!"
Mango said in disgust, so Nathaniel immediately burst out into laughter.
"That's right. In this way, no one will notice or pay attention to me. After all, nobody will be interested in a paunchy middle-aged man. Also, Kash made us some new identities that we can find online."
Mango was shocked when she heard what Nathaniel said. This meant that the person who had arranged all this had to be powerful enough as they could do all of them.
"Let me feel your big belly. Naha! You look like you're pregnant! Mr. Ye, i guess it's tough on you, isn't it?"
Mango joked playfully.
However, Nathaniel let her do whatever she wanted. Indeed, it was quite tiring to carry a huge prosthetic belly around. Fortunately, the weather wasn't that humid, so he could still endure it.
"Are you done playing around now?"
"Nope, I will definitely dream of your face in my nightmares tonight! Naha! I must have slept with the wrong guy!"
Mango said without restraint, while Nathaniel immediately pulled her into his arms.
"Are you sure you slept with the wrong man? Hmm? You've gotten so bold after coming here, huh?"
Nathaniel stretched out his hand towards her and tickled her after saying this.
"Hahaha, stop it! It's itchy!"
Mango couldn't stand the itchiness and quickly begged for mercy.
After coming here, Mango had released her natural instincts. The calmness and restraint she had when she was in Ocean City had long been forgotten. On the contrary, she returned to her cheeky and playful old self just like how she did during her days in college. Thus, Nathaniel was very delighted and pleased when he saw her acting this way.
However, he knew that she could behave in such a carefree manner because they didn't have anyone familiar by their side. She didn't need to maintain her status as Mrs. Ye, and there was no need to be conscious about her actions. Hence, she could truly live the way she wanted to now.
Meanwhile, Mckenzie saw them messing around and could not help shaking her head. Then, she smiled and went to another room.
After Mango and Nathaniel ended their bickering, both of them laid on the bed as they were exhausted. They were panting heavily, and if anyone saw them, they would've misunderstood the situation.
Meanwhile, Kash and the makeup artist were smart enough to leave the room in the very beginning so both of them had their personal space.
Then, Mango fiddled with Nathaniel's fingers and asked softly, "Do you have any plans after arriving here? Don't you think that coming here is too risky?"
"Yeah, it is."
Nathaniel stroked her long, wavy hair as he said this. Right now, he was obsessed with the soft and tender feel of her hair.
He whispered, "In fact, I don't have any plans, and I just came in and look for evidence. We can just bring back the person we've found. Well, let's see what Lebanon and Priscilla think. If they still want to keep Angolla, we'll respect that. If they don't want it, we can destroy the place directly."
Nathaniel didn't have a good impression of Angolla, nor did he have any feelings for it. In fact, he came here merely for his missions and other urgent tasks on hand.
He and Mango had been deceived and schemed on for so long, so it was almost time to get revenge, right?
They had always thought that Kolton Ye was the culprit. However, it seemed that Laborn was the mastermind behind this. Hence, they were ready to wreak vengeance for the sake of the Xiao family, the Hans family, and the Ye family. After all, they were determined to fight injustice for the innocent lives that had been lost.
Mango nodded in agreement after saying this.
She whispered, "I want Henry to go back safely."
"We will protect him. Don't worry."
Nathaniel reassured Mango, so she felt more relieved.
"Nathan, I think the evildoers of Angolla such as Laborn and his men deserved to be punished. However, the residents here are innocent, aren't they?"
"We'll talk about it later."
Nathaniel felt that it was not the time to discuss about those things.
Just then, Kash sent over some food and beverages for them, as the snowstorm outside began to fall.
Mango stood in front of the window and looked at the blizzard outside. She couldn't help but say in relief, "Wow, luckily we came here. Otherwise, we would have frozen to death in that abandoned area!"
"Perhaps nobody would've found us too."
Nathaniel wrapped his arms around her waist from behind as he said this.
She was currently dressed in a white sweater and a pair of casual jeans. She looked very young and energized right now, and this caused Nathaniel's heart to flutter.
Then, Nathaniel leaned his chin against her shoulder and whispered, "My dear wife, I want to discuss some matters with you in bed. Is that alright?"
In fact, Nathaniel had a difficult time suppressing his urges. However, he didn't dare to do it at first because he had to consider Mango's wellbeing and their surrounding environment. Now, he could finally act on it that they found a place to settle down.
His warm breath lingered around her ears as she said this. Thus, Mango felt itchy in her ears, and she could feel the temperature rising.
"What are you talking about? I don't get it. I'm still a child!"
Mango said teasingly, but Nathaniel picked her up immediately.
"Are you sure? Shall I teach you how to be an adult then?"
Nathaniel said evilly.
Mango's face instantly flushed red with embarrassment.
"Bah, you are shameless."
After saying that, Nathaniel threw her onto the large bed.
"You're my legal wife, so what's there to worry about? Besides, we don't need anyone's permission, who would dare to say anything against this?"
Nathaniel pounced on her as he spoke.
At first, Mango was still resisting his affection. However, she immediately allowed him to do whatever indeed.
Outside, the snow was still falling, and it seemed to be getting heavier. However, both of them felt warm in the large hotel room as they continued to toss and turn around in bed.
When Mango woke up once again, it was already dark outside.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was still in bed, but Mango blushed immediately when she saw his firm muscles.
"Are you awake? Hmm, are you hungry? I'll get someone to bring you food."
"No, I'm fine."
