Thomas left with resolution, and the door was slammed loudly by him.
Mango felt scared to death!
Was he really an assistant?
He really had a big temper!
Nathaniel was shocked by Thomas' actions and quickly ran out. When he saw that nothing had happened to Mango, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?"
He asked with concern.
Mango Shen shrugged her shoulders and said, "Your assistant has a very bad temper."
"I'll talk to him tomorrow."
Nathaniel finished saying with a good temper, then he went back to the kitchen.
When the food was served again, it obviously looked much better than the first time.
Mango saw the back of Nathaniel's hand had been scalded by grease, and covered by red blisters, which looked extremely scary.
She also knew that this might be the first time that Nathaniel had ever cooked, but she acted as if she didn't see it. She lowered her head and took a bite without making any comment.
Seeing that Mango did not comment, Nathaniel finally sat down. He picked up his chopsticks and ate some food. However, his face suddenly looked terrible and cold sweat started to seep out of his forehead.
"Sir, do you have stomach problems again?"
When Auntie Zhang saw this, she quickly went forward and poured a glass of water for Nathaniel. The servant behind her also quickly went to take the stomach medicine for Nathaniel to take it.
Mango only looked at them silently, but there were some doubts in her heart.
"When she left five years ago, Nathaniel didn't have stomach problems. Did he get it in the past five years?"
Could it be that the God was punishing him because he had been so heartless?
Mango lowered her head and ate her meal. She didn't care about this mess at all, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Nathaniel's pain eased a little. Only then did he realize that Mango hadn't even looked at him once from the beginning to the end. In fact, she was really enjoying her food.
He felt a bit speechless.
When Auntie Zhang saw how heartless Mango was, she wanted to say something, but she was also afraid that Nathaniel would feel upset. However, she felt really oppressed.
Mango put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "I've finished eating. Mr. Ye, take your time."
After saying that, she pushed the wheelchair directly to the stairway. When she was going to hop upstairs, she felt her body getting lifted, and then her whole body was picked up by Nathaniel.
"I'll ask someone to move the bedroom downstairs tomorrow, so that it will be more convenient for you to enter the bedroom."
Mango paused for a moment before saying with a smile, "Then I might as well just sleep in the guest room today, it would be more convenient."
Nathaniel looked at her and she did not look like she was joking at all.
She really didn't want to share a bed with him!
Realizing this, Nathaniel felt very upset, but he did not show it too much.
"Don't worry. I'll sleep in the study tonight."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango's heart was finally at ease.
"Why putting yourself in such a great inconvenience, Mr. Ye? Since you have decided for yourself, then don't walk into the wrong room and cause misunderstanding."
Mango had a brilliant smile on her face, but it burnt Nathaniel's eyes.
In the past, she couldn't fall asleep without waiting for him to come back. But now she refused to get close to him. Did time really change everything?
Nathaniel sighed slightly and carried Mango into the bedroom.
"Do you want to take a shower? I'll help you."
"No, I can do it myself. Thank you." Mango always distanced herself from Nathaniel quietly. She maintained the most basic courtesy, but her indifference and alienation could be felt everywhere.
Nathaniel looked at her and finally did not say anything. After putting her on the bed, he went out of the room.
Mango wanted to send a video to her daughter, but only then did she remember that her phone was with Nathaniel. She wanted to call him back to ask for her phone, but after thinking for a moment, she decided to let it go.
Nathaniel walked out of the room but did not leave.
He stood in front of the door and listened to Mango singing happily. She hopped into the bathroom and the he randomly heard the sound of running water. He couldn't help but recall Mango's perfect figure and her charming images on the bed.
After five years of living like a monk, now his wife finally came back, but she could only be looked and not touched. This kind of torture was really terrible.
He took out a cigarette and lit it up, and he took a hard puff, but only to get choked and he began to cough.
Auntie Zhang happened to come up. Seeing this scene, she quickly grabbed the cigarette from Nathaniel's hand.
"Sir, you're in poor health. Don't smoke. I've already cleaned up the guest room. Sir, you can sleep in the guest room tonight."
Nathaniel looked at the closed door and whispered, "Aunt Zhang, you know, I've had nervous breakdown in the past five years. Without sleeping pills, I can't fall asleep. Now that she's here, I'm not going anywhere."
His eyes seemed to be glued to the door, and he only wished to see the inside through the door.
Auntie Zhang had never seen Nathaniel being this depressed. She felt distressed and said, "Sir, she's just a pretty face. She's not anywhere close to madam."
