"Get out! You're too old to be so cringy."
Maverick directly said with contempt, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Nathaniel didn't say anything else. He just patted Maverick on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't do anything first. Let's wait until the results come out to see what the higher-ups plan to do."
"You still have expectations forthem."
Maverick understood Nathaniel's intentions.
Nathaniel smiled lightly.
"I grew up in a different environment from you, and I believe in the righteousness of my superiors."
"I hope you're right."
Maverick didn't argue, but he still called his men to the capital in case anything happened.
Nathaniel did not stop him.
When Mango woke up, she saw that the room was filled with people and she couldn't help but smile.
"Uncle, Priscilla, you're all here?"
Priscilla arrived in front of Mango and said with some envy, "You're really amazing. You're already the mother of five kids. I'm so envious of you."
"You can raise them with me. I can't handle the two brats alone."
Mango looked at Priscilla and realized that she was in a good mood right now. She didn't know if Priscilla had moved on from Tristan's death, nor did she know if Priscilla was putting up a strong front.
Priscilla hurriedly replied, "You'd better keep your promise. I want to live with you and help you raise your children. Mr. Ye, do you have any objections?"
When Nathaniel came back from outside, he heard what Priscilla had said. He immediately smiled and said, "The Ye family is your home. It doesn't matter how long you stay with us."
"Great, that's a deal. I've long hoped to have a good child like Zion, but unfortunately, I can't have a baby. Now that you have two lovely babies, so I have to stay with you."
Mango and Nathaniel were relieved when they saw that Priscilla's mood was relatively good.
"That's great. You can take care of the children while Mango and I can have some alone time."
Nathaniel's words immediately stunned the people in the room, which caused Mango's face to turn red from embarrassment.
This man was really getting bolder than before.
She glared at Nathaniel, but she soon realized that her children weren't here.
"Where are Zion, Rita, and Wisdom? Didn't they come?"
It had been a long time since she last saw her children, so she really missed them.
Maverick put out the cigarette outside and walked in. "The three kids came with me. They wanted to buy gifts for their little brothers, so I asked Ned to take them there. They'll be back soon."
"These kids seem to be acting like big brothers and sisters. They even know how to buy gifts for their little brothers."
Mango's heart was filled with warmth.
Zion, Rita and Wisdom arrived at the jewellery shop. Zion bought gold bracelets for his younger brothers while Wisdom bought anklets. Rita bought two lockets before the three of them returned to the hospital.
Terrance, Maverick, and the others visited Mango briefly before leaving because they were afraid that they would affect Mango and the children's rest. In the end, only Priscilla was left behind.
Mango looked at how much Priscilla liked children and felt very upset.
"Priscilla, did you move on?"
Mango did not intend to ask, but she could not
help herself.
Priscilla paused for a moment before saying with a smile, "Yes. I'm sure Tristan hopes that I'll be happy. If I'm upset all day, I don't think he can rest in peace either. Since that's the case, I'll live with his happy memories."
Mango felt extremely touched when she heard Priscilla's words, and she swallowed the words that she was about to say.
After all, she had been released from the investigation, so it was unclear whether there were people listening in on them. She and Nathaniel had persisted for so long, so they couldn't fail at this time.
"What do you plan to do in the future?"
"I don't know. Maybe I'll write a web novel and live a carefree life."
Mango was slightly stunned by Priscilla's words.
"Don't you intend to find another man?"
"No, love hurts. My heart is so small that I can only let go of the next man. Even if you all say that the time is the best healing medicine and you may slowly forget the pain and find your own happiness again, I know that my heart is locked in this life. No one can open it except for that man. Besides, I am very good now. Really, you don't have to worry about me. I will help you raise your son. Your son will call me aunt anyway. Your aunt is also my mother. I am happy."
Anyone could tell that Priscilla was truly happy.
Mango finally felt a little better because Priscilla was able to let go. If she met Tristan one day, she would probably be pleasantly surprised.
The two of them chatted for a while before Zion brought Wisdom and Rita in.
"Mommy!"
Rita ran towards Mango excitedly. Just as she was about to jump into Mango's arms, she felt someone grab her by the collar.
"What for?"
