"Mango!"
Nathaniel stood up quickly and ran over.
A car stopped in front of Mango just a hair's distance away, and Mango was tightly wrapped in Denver's arms.
"Are you blind?"
The driver was drenched in a cold sweat and he lashed out angrily.
Denver glared at the driver and said, "Fortunately, you are not. Otherwise, you would be dead by now. Get lost!"
The driver realized that Denver wasn't someone he wanted to mess with. Startled, the driver quickly stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Nathaniel witnessed this once he got there.
Mango laid in Denver's arms, and their sweet interaction made him jealous.
Just as he was about to pull her away, he suddenly stopped in his tracks when his headache struck again.
He could only watch as Denver treated Mango tenderly while holding her in his embrace. Upon seeing this, he was left broken-hearted.
Was he really going to lose Mango?
No!
Even if he agreed to a divorce, he had never thought about giving up on her.
He was finally aware of his innermost thoughts.
He didn't mean it when he told her that he agreed to a divorce and give her space. All he wanted to do was to allow her some space and time for thinking. It was merely just an excuse to get her back.
Now when he saw Denver by her side, he felt even more uncomfortable.
She was his wife and his beloved!
No one could ever take Mango from him!
However, he had a few things to do before that.
With an unreadable emotion in his eyes, he turned to leave.
Meanwhile, Mango was left completely stunned.
She was at a loss from what happened with Nathaniel a moment ago. After being kissed on the lips forcefully by him, she wasn't really angry. However, she hated it because she couldn't control herself.
Just now, she almost gave in to the kiss, and she almost fell for him once again.
But how could she do that?
In her daze, she didn't notice the car that was coming from the opposite side, and she almost died. If it weren't for Denver, she really didn't want to imagine the consequences.
"Mango, are you all right? You scared me. What happened? Did something happen to the children?"
Denver asked a series of questions, but Mango didn't know which one to answer first.
"Mango?"
"I'm fine."
She shook her head, indicating that she was good. She could never let him know what had happened.
Never!
She couldn't allow herself to fall for Nathaniel again.
Although she loved him, she had to restrain herself. She refused to hold on to a hopeless marriage.
She pushed away Denver's hands and collected herself. She gestured with her hands and said, "The children are doing fine, but I might be quite busy over the next few days. You don't have to follow me, as I'm doing alright. However, I need your help to find me a new place to stay. I want to move out."
Denver was stunned for a moment and said, "Mango, you can just live with me. You don't have to find a new place. Since you're my sister's friend, it's absolutely fine with us."
"No, I still need to find a house. When I get divorced, the children will come with me. It's inconvenient for us to live with you. Moreover, I have to learn to be independent, so I can't rely on you all the time. Now that the Carnucopia Mall is mine, my income will be stable. So, please help me find a house."
Mango's gestures were quick as she spoke.
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Denver could only nod his head and agree.
The two of them got into the car and made a trip to the supermarket. After that, Denver accompanied her to buy some groceries before returning home.
At home, Mango went and took a look at Wisdom. Meanwhile, Wisdom was still in his own room, and he refused to come out no matter how many times Rainie called him.
Mango saw Wisdom sitting in front of the window and looking outside. It seemed that he was thinking about something.
Then, she came to his side and sat down.
Wisdom could sense her presence. He turned his head and looked at her with a smile.
Seeing this, Mango was overjoyed.
Wisdom had finally smiled!
Was he feeling better now?
Mango saw that Wisdom was holding a book in his hand. She turned it over and saw that it was a sign language book.
Wisdom was learning sign language.
Was he doing this for her?
