"How did you lose her?! What were you doing?"
Nathaniel tried to get up from his wheelchair several times but failed. Instead, he tore open his wound. The gauze on his wound was soaked with bright red blood, and anyone would be frightened when they saw it.
Meanwhile, Bettany said with some concern, "Sir, you can't get agitated. Your injury..."
"My wife is gone! Who cares about my injuries?"
Nathaniel felt extremely miserable these few days, so he took this opportunity to release his anger.
The bodyguards shuddered when they heard this. After all, they didn't expect that their mistress would suddenly drive off alone and even abandon her car.
They had searched the entire Ocean City, but they didn't find any news about Mango. Hence, they were as anxious as Nathaniel right now.
"Why are you still standing here? Go and look for her! If anything happens to her, you will have to pay. theprice with your life!"
Nathaniel trembled with anger as he said these words, and he stood up while ignoring his wound. The severe pain made him sweat, and the veins on his arms were throbbing. Meanwhile, Bettany was so anxious for him that she hurried to stop him.
"Sir you can't do this! It was not easy for Madam to save your life, so your life belongs to her. Have you forgotten? She is still ignoring you because you almost lost your life recklessly the last time. Do you want to anger her again?"
Bettany had no choice but to mention Mango.
As she had expected, Nathaniel paused for a while.
He knew that Mango was worried about his body, but where was she now?
If he couldn't find her whereabouts, he couldn't sit still either.
At this moment, a subordinate finally sent a message to Nathaniel.
"Mr. Ye, Madam is eating dessert in a cafe on Commercial Street."
The subordinate also took a few pictures of Mango and sent them to Nathaniel after sending this text.
In the photos, Mango was eating happily. Her curved smiling eyes were adorable.
How long had it been since Nathaniel had seen
Mango so happy and carefree?
Nathaniel suddenly paused for a moment, and he recalled some of his memories from a long time ago.
When she was in university, Mango liked to eat at food trucks on the streets nearby with her classmates. Nathaniel didn't know about this at first, and he never set foot near the food trucks either. However, one day, someone had dragged him there. It was then that he saw Mango eating ice cream near the ice cream vendor.
Right now, Mango had the same expression as she did previously in the photos.
She had a joyful expression on her face as if she was eating the best meal in the world. Hence, anyone would be happy when they saw how happy she was eating.
Now that Nathaniel saw her like that again, he broke into a smile.
Nathaniel thought they had grown and became mature adults because they had been through so much in the past few years. However, at this moment that he realized Mango was still the same lovely girl in his memories.
"Bettany, ask Ned to bring around the car. I'm going over." "Sir, you need to rest."
Bettany said boldly.
However, Nathaniel acted as if he didn't hear it at all and said aggressively, "Get me there, or I'll take a taxi. Make your choice."
Bettany naturally did not dare to let Nathaniel take a taxi alone. Therefore, she sighed softly and went to carry out his instructions immediately.
On the other hand, Mango did not know about all this. She ate heartily but felt that her stomach was like a bottomless pit. No matter how she ate, she would not get full.
Then, she touched her belly and smiled gently. Then she said to herself, "My child, I think you might be a girl since you like eating sweets. Girls are fine as well because you can be Rita's companion. Do you know that Rita is a lovely child?"
When she thought about what Rita looked like when she was young, Mango smiled even more gently.
She missed the children a little right now.
Hmm, maybe she could bring the children home. By then, even if Nathaniel knew about her pregnancy, he wouldn't reprimand her in front of the children, right?
As she thought about this, Mango felt that she was simply ingenious.
"Hey, I would like another doughnut."
Mango simply ate her fill. She also realized that she felt much better after she had eaten the desserts as her frustrations seemed to have vanished.
After all, delicious food could put anyone in a good mood.
The owner soon brought her a doughnut and also a banana split on the house.
Mango was delighted when she saw this.
When Nathaniel arrived, he saw Mango chewing on a doughnut in one hand and holding a small spoon to eat the banana split in the other.
She was eating tiny mouthfuls of the banana split probably because she remembered the condition her body was in. Also, she would even warm the ice cream in her mouth before swallowing them slowly. However, she looked so cute right now as she had a satisfied look on her face.
Then, Nathaniel pushed the wheelchair and came over to her.
"Is it delicious?"
"It is!"
Mango answered subconsciously at first. After a few seconds, she realized that the voice sounded a little like Nathaniel's.
She tilted her head and glanced out of the corner of her eye. As she had expected, Nathaniel's familiar face appeared in front of her.
"Eat slowly, alright? No one will take the food from you. Look at you. There's food all around your lips."
Nathaniel had a doting look on her face as he said these words. He even reached out a finger to wipe the crumbs off the corner of Mango's mouth. However, his gentle and doting look immediately made Mango feel a little guilty.
She had no time to care about her argument with Nathaniel before. Now her mind was full of thoughts about her pregnancy. Should she tell Nathaniel about this?
What if he didn't allow her to keep her child?
Should she then continue ignoring him?
Mango continued to struggle while trying to make a decision.
Nathaniel saw that Mango was eating happily and contentedly at first. However, when she saw him, her expression immediately became conflicted, and her brows furrowed together. He then said helplessly, "Hah... do you not want to see me that much?"
