The woman hadn't noticed Mango's expression at all. She was busy calling her husband and saying that she had earned a thousand dollars today.
After hearing this, Mango quickly opened the door again, only to see a shadow pass by.
She didn't see that person's face clearly, but meanwhile, Nathaniel felt his heartbeat speed up as if he had committed a crime.
Mango took another look around before going back into the bathroom. Unfortunately, the woman was gone.
She felt that it was all a little strange and didn't dare to linger any longer. After quickly exiting the bathroom, she went straight back to the Blu family's house.
The whole way back, she was cautious and looked behind her from time to time to see if there was anyone tailing her.
Nathaniel had found that Mango had become too cautious. Perhaps she had already discovered him following her.
He was forced to change routes a few times along the way. Fortunately, he was able to put a tracker on Mango's car after she had gone into the mall.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to catch up with her.
Only when he saw that Mango had arrived at the Blu's house safely did he relax.
Mango instinctively looked behind her after getting off the car. However, she didn't see anyone suspicious, but the eerie feeling of being followed continued to haunt her. Then, she suddenly caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar car parked outside. The car lights were turned off, and she couldn't see who was inside. However, she felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her through the darkness...
Then, Mango quickly ran to the front of the suspicious car. Nathaniel, who was inside, ducked under the car seat in the back abruptly, his heart pounding like crazy.
Would he be found out this easily?
He held his breath as he looked at Mango who was staring through the window. At that moment, he was bombarded with many emotions.
Mango stared at the car for a long time. Then, she frowned as she took down the plate number. Next, she turned around and went back into the Blu family's house.
Nathaniel let out a sigh of relief only after she went inside, and he felt cold sweat cover his entire back. He knew that he might have already been discovered, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't predict how Mango would react.
He knew that leaving would be the best option to avoid being discovered, but he just couldn't leave now. It had been so hard for him the past month, and he couldn't even fall asleep. He couldn't stand that kind of loneliness anymore. Even if separated by the door, as long as he could protect her and catch a glimpse of her like this, it was enough.
When Mango returned into the house, she happened to bump into Denver, who was looking for her.
"Mango, where have you been?"
Mango smiled as she gestured, "I went out for a walk."
"You scared me. I thought you'd been kidnapped. I almost sent people out looking for you."
"That won't happen."
Mango was actually really moved by Denver's concern.
"Where's your sister?"
Mango hadn't seen Rainie and was afraid that she had gone out to look for her, so she quickly gestured and asked.
Denver said with a smirk, "Her boyfriend called. It seems like they're having a fight. She's yelling in her room right now."
Mango paused slightly at this.
Thomas called?
That made sense.
Thomas was Nathaniel's assistant. Had he found her through Rainie?
Mango was suddenly a little worried.
She recalled what had happened not long ago, as well as that eerie feeling of being followed.
"Mango, is something wrong?"
Denver saw that she was distracted the whole day and could not help but ask with concern, "Are you not feeling well? Do you want me to call the doctor?"
"No, I'm fine. Just thinking of some stuff."
Mango said embarrassedly.
Just then, Rainie kicked open the door with a "bang" and walked out angrily.
"Oh, my lovely sister, why are you so feisty today? Is your boyfriend cheating on you?"
Denver's words were rewarded with a roll of Rainie's eyes and scolding.
"Move! You're the one who's cheating. He isn't that type of guy."
"Woah, look who's protecting him now. Since he's that great, why are you venting your anger at the door? It did nothing wrong."
Denver was familiar with Rainie's temper.
In the beginning, Rainie still kept a distance between them, and she seldom spoke to him as well. But now, Rainie slowly became closer to Denver because he helped Mango and her, and she was becoming less sensitive and careful.
When Rainie heard this, she frowned again.
Mango asked her in concern, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Thomas is here in Estania. I don't know how he knows that I'm here, but he insisted on meeting up. I'm still angry with him, though. He let Nathaniel hurt you like this. I'm not going to forgive him that easily."
Hearing Rainie's words, Mango's heart skipped a beat.
Thomas has come to Estania, so what about Nathaniel?
Could that person she saw at the diner be him?
Sometimes a woman's sixth sense was very accurate, no matter how ridiculous something seemed to be.
She suddenly came to the window and saw that the strange car was still there. She wanted
answers.
Denver noticed and followed her gaze. When he saw that there was a suspicious Land Rover parked outside, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Whose car is that? Why is it parked in front of our house?"
"Where?"
Rainie quickly came and leaned over.
"I'll go out and take a look."
Rainie had already guessed what Mango was thinking.
Then, Mango stopped her, wanting to go together.
