Mango's body stiffened instantly.
Three years after marriage, the lingering scenes between them flooded into her mind. It was so sweet and fascinating. She used to think that this man was her whole life, but she had never expected him to be her nightmare!
She grabbed the sheet tightly. As she watched Nathan's face getting closer and closer, her heart almost stopped beating.
Just a centimeter away from her lips, Nathan stopped.
The fluff on his face was clearly visible.
After five years, he was as handsome as usual, yet she was no longer what she used to be. Further more, their children were tortured by illness.
Thinking of this, Mango suddenly raised her hand. "Slap!", a crisp sound instantly rang through the whole room.
Nathan did not miss the hatred from her eyes. Mango's sorrowful look were like a sharp sword piercing into his chest.
His face was burning with pain, but Nathan didn't care. He used the tip of his tongue to push his numb cheek and whispered, "Is that enough? If not, there is another side."
As Nathan showed his other cheek, Mango was stunned. How could it be?
This was not the same Nathan she knew!
How arrogant Nathan was! No one was allowed to touch him, let along hitting him in the face. Mango still remembered that someone had hit Nathan on purpose many years ago. He almost took that person's legs. Just now, she was still afraid that Nathan would tear her apart. What did he mean by doing this?
Nathan eyes were tender, as if Mango was the person he loved. She had seen such eyes when Nathan looked at Macy Cho, but now Mango suddenly felt a little ironic.
Mango suddenly turned her head and avoided Nathan's breath. Her chest rose and fell sharply, and her heart was completely in a mess.
"Nathaniel Ye, is it amusing for you to do this? Don't think that I can forgive just because of this. I won't forget the insult and harm you and your girlfriend have caused to me, as well as the accident of the car. Also, do you really think it's an accident this time?"
Mango did not dare to look into Nathan's eyes.
This man was good at acting and disguise. She seemed to be no match for him.
Seeing that Mango had shrunk into her self-protecting stance, Nathan grabbed Mango's hand.
Mango tried hard to pull back, but she was a little tired.
"Ye! What the hell are you doing?"
"I should ask you, what do you want me to do? Tell me, as long as you tell me, I'll give you anything, even if it costs my life."
Nathan said sincerely. His beautiful phoenix- like eyes stared straight at Mango.
Mango's heart suddenly stopped, and she felt painful.
"Boss Ye is really good at flirting. We just met, but you treat me like this. Aren't you afraid that Miss Cho will be jealous? Or is this a trick used by Mr. Ye to flirt with young chicks?"
She was almost deceived by him!
Such a narcissistic man, how could he say something so affectionate? Furthermore, although she has doubts, is it possible to make Nathan give up her life for those doubts?"
It was possible for Nathan to love her in the past, but had he ever loved her?
For the three years of marriage, she had been chasing after him, and he had always been high-horsing and indifferent. Even when she was pregnant, she would end up in a fire. It was ridiculous to show her affection now!
Mango's suddenly looked painful.
Nathan did not ignore the pain and put Mango's hand on his face. It was burning hot.
Mango wanted to pull back, but Nathan's strength was so strong that she couldn't do it for a while. But she was somewhat unwilling and could only stare at him indignantly.
Seeing her like this, Nathan felt as if she had returned to the old days where she had chased after him. Things that he used to take as small matters, were now hitting his heart.
Only then did he realize that he loved her so much.
Now that she was back, he would agree with her on every matter, as long as she stayed with him.
"I never flirt with girls. I only flirt with my wife."
Nathan's voice was deep and low, with a hint of tenderness.
Mango's defense almost collapsed.
His eyes were too gentle, his voice was too charming, and even his breath was sweet and pleasant.
Mango felt her heart ache little by little.
Wife?
Did he still remember his wife?
"Mr. Ye is really good at joking. I, Katherine, am not your wife."
Mango used all her strength to pull back her hand while Nathan was not paying attention.
She can still fell his warmth on her hand, but Mango hide her hand into the quilt, trying to ignore the fact.
Nathan only felt that both his face and hands were empty, just like his whole heart was empty.
For five years, he spent uncountable sleepless nights in a cold bedroom. Finally, she came back right in front of him, showing her happiness, anger, sorrow and joy. He could even feel her warm body temperature. He felt that his heart was warm.
Since Mango did not want to admit it now, then let it be. One day, she would tell him her purpose; and one day, he would uncover her mysterious veil.
Nathan suddenly smiled, and his smile was full of love, which made Mango feel creepy.
"Is this man crazy?"
"He has always been an iceberg man. What is he going to do when he suddenly smiles so gently?"
"Nathan, I warn you, don't think that I can't fight back with my condition now. If you dare to do anything to me, I will..."
