Priscilla's words brought him to his senses.
He put himself in her shoes and thought about it. If he and Mango had been in the same situation, what would he do if Mango had made such a decision?
At this thought, Nathaniel suddenly felt a shiver through his spine. His heart felt tight, and it was as if he was suffocating.
If he had to sacrifice Mango's life to continue living, he would feel that his life was meaningless! Furthermore, he would only blame himself and regret it forever. Hence, he would be depressed until his death.
At this moment, Nathaniel finally understood what Mango was angry about.
The two of them loved each other, so they had become husband and wife and tied their lives together. However, he had chosen to ignore Mango when both of them were in danger. Instead, he put her into a situation where she had to act dishonorably, all in the name of love.
In the past, he always thought that sacrificing his life for his love for a noble thing to do. In fact, he felt that he could be proud as he was telling the whole world that he loved her. But now, he finally realized how stupid and humiliating this was to Mango.
Furthemore, it also showed that he didn't trust Mango's abilities. He had forced Mango to take responsibility for his selfish actions. Thus, she deserved to be angry.
Nathaniel fell silent at this thought.
On the other hand, Priscilla knew that Nathaniel had thought things through when she saw his reaction.
She whispered, "Women are different from each other. Some women are weak, so they prefer their husbands to dote on them. Some women, on the other hand, are determined. They would rather suffer to become equals to men. All they want is to stand next to their lovers and enjoy the same happiness after going through the same hardships as them. Mr. Ye, you should know what kind of person your wife is. If she only wants you to contribute alone to your relationship, I think both of you wouldn't have been through so many trials and tribulations."
"I know, but how should I ask her for forgiveness now?"
Nathaniel humbly asked for advice.
Priscilla shook her head in reply and said, "Well, it's difficult. You've hurt her, so she probably can't recover that easily. Well, I don't think Mango will abandon you because she has deep feelings for you. However, both of you might take some time to mend your relationship."
"How long will it take?"
"I don't know. Maybe a week, a month, or two years. Everything will be fine anyway, so don't worry too much."
Priscilla patted Nathaniel's shoulder as if she was consoling him.
Nathaniel was in great disbelief when he heard this.
He couldn't even hold on for a day. What would happen if it took one month or a few years?
Was Priscilla joking with him right now?
"I think Tristan's strategies and tactics are excellent. Well, the higher-ups asked me to send a few soldiers for a mission, so I was thinking of recommending Tristan.
Nathaniel said in a calm tone, so Priscilla was immediately dumbfounded.
"Mr. Ye, don't do this. We just got married! Urgh! We haven't even gone on a honeymoon!"
"Soldiers don't get to go on honeymon. Besides, since my body is not in good condition, I should
hand over everything to Tristan. I think my superiors won't object to this."
"What? Mr. Ye!"
Priscilla's tone had changed.
"Mr. Ye, you can't do this! Even though Mango is giving you a cold shoulder, you can't ruin my marriage too!"
"Well, there's nothing I can do about this because this is my personality. I'm having a hard time now, so I will be annoyed if I see someone showing off their relationship in front of me."
Nathaniel said lightly.
Priscilla felt extremely wronged when she heard this.
When did she ever show off her relationship with Tristan?
She had never done that!
"Mr. Ye, I don't know how to help you."
"I'm going to call Master Mo now. Oh, right. I suddenly remembered that we have to report how much Tristan has helped us during this mission."
Nathaniel took out his phone while he was speaking.
However, Priscilla grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Mr. Ye, please don't do this. Let me think, okay?"
"I'll give you two minutes."
Nathaniel's lips curled into a smile when he heard her reply.
Urgh! Priscilla really regretted coming to The Ye's Mansion alone right now.
"Mr. Ye, I can't come up with an idea in two minutes."
"I only want results, so I don't care about your thought process at all."
"Look, you can start by doing what she likes then."
Priscilla muttered as she had no other ideas anymore.
Nathaniel was somewhat puzzled when he heard her suggestion.
"Huh? Doing what she likes? Hmm... Mango hasn't done any drawings lately."
Nathaniel recalled that other than taking care of the flowers and plants left behind by Isla, Mango didn't seem to have much interest in painting anymore, much less designing a car.
On the other hand, thoughts were running in Priscilla's head.
"Then, what is she passionate about? For example, she may like watching certain shows, or..." "No way!"
Nathaniel suddenly thought about one of Mango's social media posts.
He couldn't even wait to tear Kieran Horland into shreds. How could he allow such a good-looking guy to interact with Mango so that she would forgive him?
No! He would only allow it over his dead body!
On the other hand, Priscilla didn't know about Mango's social media feed, so she was naturally a little confused by Nathaniel's intense reaction.
"Mr. Ye, why can't we do that? If you want to appease Mango's anger, you have to make her feel better."
Nathaniel frowned tightly when he heard this. He felt that he was a b*stard, but he suddenly thought about something else?"
Wasn't Kieran just a good-looking guy?
Well, he could ask the guy to sign an autograph for Mango. Would the guy dare to flirt with his wife at his home?
At this thought, Nathaniel thought that this method could work.
"Well, are you sure this is a good idea?"
"Well, you have to try it before you will know whether it will work. Otherwise, both of you will be arguing forevr. I have entered your room for such a long time, but Mango hasn't even come to take a look. That means that when I'm not around, you don't even talk to each other."
Nathaniel felt extremely hurt after hearing what Priscilla had said.
Alas! His wife had already ignored him for three days!
