"When did you become that good at gossiping?"
Nathaniel's words made Walter somewhat annoyed, but he knew that he had made a mistake. Then, he replied sheepishly, "Mango, I'm sorry. I really didn't know."
Mango turned her head to look at Nathaniel.
"What happened to Wisdom? You actually left him with Yama Hades? How could you do that? Don't you know how much he has suffered?"
Mango's heart ached for Wisdom.
Nathaniel sighed and said, "Well talk about this after we get home."
Hence, Mango didn't continue to pester Nathaniel as she turned around to look at Walter and said, "You'd better show me some results, or else I'll really look down on you. I don't have friends who are not ambitious."
"Of course not, just wait and see."
Walter was filled with a sudden burst of confidence.
Nathaniel took Mango's hand and spoke upon seeing that Walter had regained his confidence. "Let's go home. Your body hasn't recovered yet, so you can't stay out for too long." "Yes, go back and have a rest. You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine."
Walter replied hurriedly.
Mango looked at Nathaniel and Walter in silence before she turned and left the office.
Then, Nathaniel looked at Walter and whispered, "This is how you repay me? Are you trying to destroy my newfound peace?"
"It was your fault anyway. Wisdom is my disciple. Have you gotten my permission before sending him to someone else? Honestly, I would punish you as well if I was Mango."
Despite the current situation, Walter refused to be cowed by Nathaniel. He was still the old Walter.
Nathaniel nodded and said, "You win this round."
Nathaniel hurriedly followed Mango after seeing that she had walked away.
"Mango, I can explain."
Meanwhile, Mango got in the car angrily.
Nathaniel felt very distressed after he got in the car and saw tears welling up in Mango's eyes.
"Don't be sad, it's Wisdom's own idea. I've asked him, and I won't let him go as long as he doesn't want to. Also, Yama Hades will treat him well, and she was Genevieve's teacher. She sees Wisdom as her own son because she accidentally killed her own due to postpartum depression."
However, Mango was still very sad and she didn't react to Nathaniel's explanation.
"Mango, did you hear what I said?"
However, Mango said sorrowfully, "It's all because of me. Wisdom wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for me.
"It's not your fault. Blame me if you really want to blame someone."
It was obvious that Mango was still frustrated over this matter although she had stopped arguing.
Nathaniel didn't know what to say, so he just sent her home after seeing her like this.
He wanted to hug Mango after they arrived home and got off the car, but she rejected him.
Then, she slowly walked back to the house.
"Mommy!"
Zion's voice suddenly sounded.
Then, Mango was stunned for a moment as a small figure suddenly rushed out and fell into Mango's arms.
"Mommy, are you okay? How are you?"
Zion's eyes brimmed with tears, and it made
Mango feel distressed.
At that moment, Mango's heart softened.
"Mommy's fine. Thank you for helping me find your daddy, my darling."
"It's great that you're fine, mommy. But did something happen to Wisdom? I was going to agree to that woman's request so that she could save you. However, Wisdom secretly ambushed me and knocked me out!"
Zion was very angry every time he thought of this.
How could Wisdom, who seemed naive, ambush and knock him out? Not only that, but he also stole Zion's helicopter and went to A City alone. This was what Zion should have done!
Mango felt even more discomfort in her heart after hearing what Zion said.
"Mommy will definitely bring Wisdom back."
"Really? Mommy, that woman is so fierce, and she will definitely treat Wisdom badly. You must bring him back, okay? He is my brother, and I can't let him suffer."
Zion's words made Nathaniel's eyes flicker slightly as he thought of Nick.
Then, Madam Ye came out of nowhere and she murmured upon hearing what Zion had said, "Look, even my grandson knows that he can't let his brother suffer."
This sentence had another meaning to it.
Madam Ye looked at Nathaniel when she felt his glance. Both of their glances met and there was a secret conversation being held.
"That depends on how he acts. Furthermore, they might not even be my actual brother."
Nathaniel's words left Mango slightly stunned.
What did that mean?
Why did she have a feeling that something was not right between Nathaniel and Madam Ye?
Was she mistaken?
"Nathan, what's wrong?"
"It's fine. You can go upstairs and rest."
Then, Nathaniel smiled and said to Zion, "Hey, you little brat, take your mommy upstairs to have a rest. She's a little tired."
