Nathaniel didn't know what the movie was about. However, he heard what Mango said clearly as she had spoken with sparkling eyes.
"What are you thinking about?"
Nathaniel was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
He had already undergone a vasectomy, so how could he have two more daughters? Well, Mango was probably expectant because she had watched the movie.
When Mango saw Nathaniel's reaction, she swallowed the words that she originally wanted to say.
Judging from his expression, she knew what his decision would be.
Alas!
Why was it so difficult for her to have a child?
She then lost interest in the movie that she was watching.
Nathaniel knew the reason for Mango's sudden downcast mood. However, when he thought of Mango's health, he held back his words.
In the end, Mango couldn't continue watching the
movie anymore.
"It's boring. Let's go home."
"Alright."
Nathaniel did not say anything else and accompanied Mango out of the cinema.
Right now, it was a bit cold outside.
Mango shuddered immediately because of the cold. Hence, Nathaniel ordered someone to bring her jacket, and then he put it on her.
She didn't wear enough clothing when she came out of the house. So when Nathaniel came out to find her, he intentionally brought her a jacket.
Mango looked at Nathaniel as he doted on her. Alas! He was such a good man.
Furthermore, he couldn't find any faults with him at all.
Perhaps he didn't understand love or how to express his feelings five years ago. That was why he unintentionally hurt her and the children. But five years later, he had been making up for it as much as he could and even wanted to give her the best things in the world.
Then, Mango looked at Nathaniel, who was sitting in the wheelchair with a pale face. Well, he must have come out to accompany her without having lunch.
Perhaps he had come looking for her regardless of his physical condition because he couldn't contact her as she had turned off her phone.
At this thought, Mango felt warmth in her heart.
She shouldn't force him to listen to her whims, but she couldn't bear to let go of her child as well.
If they had a child because they hadn't taken any preventive measures, it would have been their fault. But now, she was pregnant even though Nathaniel had surgery. Wasn't this then a gift from God?
Hence, she really wanted to keep these two children.
However, Nathaniel was stubborn, and Mango knew his personality very well. She could do whatever she wanted on unimportant matters. However, Nathaniel would never compromise when it came to her health.
Did they mean that she should yield to him instead?
Should she give up on this child?
The answer in Mango's heart was still no.
However, she would need to find another way to tell Nathaniel the truth and that she wanted to keep this child.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel saw Mango looking at him in silence with a thoughtful expression as if she had something to say. So he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Mango really wanted to talk about the child, but she shook her head and asked instead, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet."
"Then let's go home and get Lucy to cook something delicious for you. You can't eat the food outside yet because you're still unwell."
As this was the first time that Mango had shown concern for Nathaniel's body after his surgery, Nathaniel was almost moved to tears.
Did his wife finally make up with him?
"Are you not angry anymore?"
Nathaniel knew that it was a little stupid to ask that, but he still did.
Mango nodded her head and replied, "You have done plenty of things to anger me. If I stayed angry for a long time because of that, I would've passed out in anger!"
"Well, I don't think that I've done a lot of things to make you angry, right?"
Nathaniel felt wronged, so he couldn't help but say this.
However, Mango glared at him immediately.
"Are you sure? Do you want me to count your mistakes?"
"Ah, forget it. I'm hungry. Let's go home for dinner then."
Nathaniel quickly changed the subject after hearing what Mango had said.
He couldn't risk anything now! As he had finally appeased his wife's anger, he would never bring up the past matters.
Meanwhile, Mango's lips curled up into a smile. Then, she pushed Nathaniel to the car.
On the other hand, Nathaniel felt that he was on cloud nine as his wife was taking care of him after ignoring him for so many days.
"Honey, I want to eat stewed meat."
"Sure, I'll get Lucy to cook for you later."
Mango didn't refuse his request.
Nathaniel's lips broke into a smile when he heard her reply.
When Bettany saw this scene, she silently positioned herself behind them and purposefully lowered her sense of presence.
She was embarrassed as she did not want to be a third wheel, but she could not avoid it.
Along the way, Mango wanted to bring up the topic a few times, but in the end, she gave up.
After returning home, Mango pushed Nathaniel to the master bedroom and ordered someone to prepare food for him. Then, she turned around and was about to head to the guest bedroom, but Nathaniel stopped her
"Since you're not angry with me anymore, why don't you move back here? How long are you going to stay apart from me?"
Then, Mango looked at Nathaniel and coughed before saying, "We both need proper rest now. When I'm with you, I'll worry about your condition. So it's better if we stay apart for now."
Hah! Only Mango would be able to say such a thing.
After that, Nathaniel asked with some grievance, "How long will it take for you to move back?"
"I'll come back when you're in better condition. Well, you won't be far away from me, right? There's only a wall between us."
Then, Mango slapped Nathaniel's hand away and said, "We've been married for a very long time, so shouldn't cling to each other all the time. Otherwise, we will be laughed at. Oh right, bring the children back tomorrow. I miss them."
