"Be careful!"
Desmond's voice resounded beside her ear.
Mango was slightly stunned. Before she could get out of Desmond's arms, Nathaniel interrupted coldly, "Let go of my wife."
Desmond glanced at him, and immediately let go of Mango without saying anything.
Mango wanted to explain, but she felt that it was unnecessary.
Next, Nathaniel pulled her behind him and gave Desmond a fierce look. Then he left with Mango.
"B*stard, stop right there! Don't think that women like us are gullible. Never bully her again!"
Yama Hades chased after him again, but unfortunately, Nathaniel ignored her completely.
The previously pleasant atmosphere was interrupted because of the two outsiders.
Mango glanced at Nathaniel and realized that he wasn't in a good mood. Then she muttered softly, "Desmond is really someone I bought in the auction. I did it for a friend, and it's just that she doesn't have the money to pay me back. That's why he is following me."
"Well, I believe you, but I don't like other men touching you."
Hearing his words, Mango almost burst out in laughter.
"I almost fell down just now, and he just helped me up. Frankly, you have to thank him instead."
"Sure, I'll give him a discount on his debt as a token of appreciation."
Nathaniel's words were unpleasant to the ear and it seemed like he was trying to use his money to oppress others. Despite that, Mango didn't say anything as she was afraid that he would get jealous again
"Where are you taking me?"
"To get food, of course!"
After soon as he mentioned it, she realised that her stomach had started to rumble.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgotten that we haven't had dinner yet."
"I will never forget even if you do."
Nathaniel finally smiled and brought her to the canteen.
Although the hospital's facilities weren't very superb, the food was surprisingly good. Nathaniel and Mango were not particularly picky with their food, so they enjoyed the meal there. Besides, the food became even more delicious when they were eating with their loved ones.
Mango stared straight into his eyes, and he was a little embarrassed by it.
"What are you looking at?"
"You look very handsome, my love."
Hearing this, he paused for a moment, and his ears immediately flushed red. However, Mango pretended to be calm and said, "Isn't that a fact?"
"Stop it."
Honestly, she just couldn't get enough of him.
These days, Nathaniel had clearly lost some weight and she noticed that his jawline had become more apparent. Although she did not know what he had gone through in the Underground City, she knew that it wasn't something good.
"Nathan."
"Um?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to call your name."
Her tone was childlike as she spoke.
"I prefer hearing you call me honey."
"Honey!”
Mango immediately cried out, and her sweet voice took his breath away.
"Say it again." "Honey."
Right now, she was being very cooperative.
Nathaniel instantly let out a big grin, and he looked just like a child with their favorite toy.
However, Mango was actually full of sorrow upon seeing his smile.
She knew that everything would be different after the next two days. She couldn't bear to see him sad, but what could she do?
She wanted to be with him and to cherish every second with him. She didn't want their final moments to end in dispute or arguments.
"Let's go stargazing after dinner."
She suddenly suggested.
On the other hand, Nathaniel was a little stunned.
"Stargazing?"
"Yes, although it is a little remote here, the surrounding air is fresh. I haven't seen such bright stars for a long time."
She realised that the sky had already turned dark after she looked up.
Time flew by so quickly.
Especially the time she spent with Nathaniel.
She had felt dizzy just now, and she wondered if it was a sign.
She had no clue, but all she wanted now was to spend some time with Nathaniel.
That feeling would never fade because she'd spent far too little time with him.
Although he didn't know what was so interesting about the stars, he still agreed to it.
"Alright. Eat up. I don't want you to get hungry later on."
"Alright."
After they finished their dinner, they immediately walked to the garden.
All of a sudden, she climbed onto the roof like a rambunctious child, and he was stunned by her actions.
Mango had always been gentle and proper, and she never did anything inappropriate. However, she was climbing onto the roof like a country girl and waving at him happily.
"Come on up! You can see it better from a higher view. It's also closer to the sky."
He felt that she was extremely cute and naive.
No matter how close she was to the sky, she couldn't reach the stars, right?
He suddenly had an idea.
With a smile, he quickly climbed onto the roof and sat beside her. Stretching out his hand, he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he said gently, "Alright. How is it now?"
