Queena and Nathaniel walked out when they heard Dennis's laughter. Upon seeing Mango's surprised expression, they couldn't help but ask, "What are you two talking about? You guys look happy."
Dennis immediately stopped smiling, but there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes. He quickly got up and took the apron from Queena's hand. Then, he said with a smile, "Here, sit down. I'll do it."
"It's okay. Nathan helped me a lot, and I didn't do much."
Queena was particularly considerate towards Dennis.
When Mango saw her parent's sweet interaction, she felt delighted and comforted.
Nathaniel handed a glass of fresh orange juice to Mango and asked with a smile, "What happened? You're beaming."
"Urgh! Don't mention it. It's so embarrassing."
Mango leaned into his embrace embarrassedly. Then, she whispered in his ear, "I asked Dad whether he is a robot."
Nathaniel slightly paused and broke out in laughter. Upon seeing Mango's embarrassed expression, he stopped laughing and asked, "So, is it true or not?"
"I don't know. Dad even asked me to find the switch on him. Urgh! I felt so stupid for asking."
"It's fine. You're just silly at times."
Mango was annoyed when she heard this. She raised her fist and gave him a light punch.
"Shut up. Don't talk anymore."
Nathaniel grinned. In fact, he was enjoying the time spent with his family. However, there were still tons of troublesome matters that he had to settle out there. He really hoped that he could stay here and spend the rest of his life with Mango.
Queena felt much more relieved as she looked at Mango's cheerful expression.
"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now?"
Queena was very curious as Dennis and Mango hadn't seen each other very often. Although they were biologically related, they were still acting like strangers to each other. Thus, it was surprising to see both of them being friendly and chatting away happily.
Mango was afraid that Dennis would say something about her stupid question, so she quickly covered it up, "We are talking about the future with robots, right? Dad."
She blinked her eyes at Dennis, which melted his heart.
It seemed that it wasn't a bad decision to have a sweet and loverly daughter, wasn't it?
"Well, yes, we were talking about robots."
Dennis had no choice but to agree to what Mango was saying.
Queena seemed to have realized that both of them were collaborating, so she knew that she couldn't get anything out of them. Then, she said, "Well, I'll stop asking as you guys seem to be hiding secrets from me. Anyway, it's time for dinner, so where's Zion?"
"Zion went upstairs. He must be playing games. I'll call him."
Mango was about to go upstairs when Nathaniel stopped her.
"I'll go, you're pregnant, so it's harder for you to move around."
"All right."
Mango agreed quickly.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel knocked on the door when he arrived at Zion's room. Once he entered, he noticed that Zion was typing on his computer. He couldn't help but glance at him and ask, "What are you researching?"
"This is the draft for the development of the new software. Although I am not in the military area, I have to finish this task."
Zion finished writing down the last page and saved it. Then, he turned off the computer.
Nathaniel praised him for his persistence and went downstairs with him for dinner.
Mango felt like she was dreaming. She couldn't believe that she was actually having dinner with her long-lost parents. It was simply too wonderful!
On the other hand, Dennis felt terrible when he saw Mango like this.
"Your mom cooks very well. Eat up."
"Alright."
Mango gulped all the food that Dennis served to her without caring whether they were her favorite dishes.
Zion had always been very quiet, but he was also silently observing Queena and Dennis. The curiousity in his eyes made Queena very fond of him.
"Zion, come here."
Queena waved at him while saying this.
Zion had intended to reject Queena's offer. Upon seeing the eager look in her eyes, he immediately walked up to her. Then, Queena held him in her embrace.
Grandma's arms were different from his mommy's. Despite so, it felt warm and snug.
Then, Zion sat in Queena's arms obediently and watched as Queena pick up a lot of food for him. He frowned, but he still ate it all.
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After the meal, Nathaniel prepared some fruit, while the family sat on the sofa and chatted happily.
"Mom, are you and dad going to stay here all the time? Haven't you thought about going back? Grandpa will be exhilarated if he knows that you are still alive. Besides, Barack is back home too. Dad, you should go and visit him someday. Barack's wife is also free from Laborn's control and is living happily now."
Mango wanted nothing more than to tell Queena and Dennis what had happened recently.
Dennis paused slightly when he heard about Barack news. Then, a trace of pity flashing across his eyes.
"Let's give Barack some time to rest. I'll visit him when he's fully recovered. Besides, it's still not a good time for us to show up now."
After hearing Dennis's words, Mango was stunned.
Queena continued, "Yes, we all know what happened outside, but it's not suitable for us to appear now."
"Why is that?"
