After finishing his words, Nathaniel turned around and left without looking back.
Thomas was stunned on the spot.
What was wrong with Mr. Ye?
For a woman, who had just stayed in Ocean City for more than ten days, was that necessary for him to get that angry?
Even his wife back then was not able to make Mr. Ye so worried. How had this Katherine done?
He just made some comment about her, and Mr. Ye was already going to fire him?
Thomas felt a little wronged. He had been with Nathaniel for five or six years. This was the first time he had seen Nathaniel tell him to piss off in such a serious tone, all because of a woman.
However, no matter how aggrieved he felt, Thomas still followed him in a hurry.
"Mr. Ye, I was wrong."
Nathaniel also knew that his tone was too heavy, but how could he tell him about his feelings for Mango.
He sighed, then he got into the car, and sat directly on the back seat, but he still couldn't calm himself down. He took out a cigarette and lit it, puffing on it nonstop.
When Thomas got on the driver's seat and saw Nathaniel like this, he whispered, "Mr. Ye, if you think I'm talking too much, you can punish me with a pay cut or even demote me, but don't ruin your body like this. Your lungs can't stand your smoking."
Nathaniel took a deep puff on his cigarette and then he put it out.
He looked at the busy traffic outside and whispered, "Thomas, I know you and I have a deep relationship. Although you work for me, in fact, you have been like my brother for a long time. I also know that you are doing this for my own good. Do you find it very difficult to understand why I am acting this way for a woman whom I have only known for more than ten days?"
Seeing that Nathaniel took the initiative to bring up this matter, Thomas might as well ask him clearly.
"Yes, I think it's incredible. Mr. Ye, you have been weird since Katherine came to Ocean City. If you don't tell me, I won't dare to ask, but she really doesn't deserve some of the things that you did for her, and I don't see her appreciate it either. For such a heartless woman, what is really going on, Mr. Ye?"
Nathaniel smiled softly, and his eyes seemed somewhat deep.
"What is going on? I think I should have treated her like this a long time ago. If I had treated her like this five years ago, maybe now our son would have been here with me, and she wouldn't have experienced so many difficulties. As a woman, she left her hometown alone with her child, one can just imagine how hard it was for her."
Thomas was completely stunned. "Mr. Ye, do you mean that Katherine is the previous madam?"
He simply couldn't believe it.
How could this be possible?
Nathaniel, on the other hand, smiled and said, "Do you remember the paternity test that I asked you to do for me? That test was between me and Zion, and we turned out to be father and son. Zion is Katherine's biological son, who do you think she is?"
"But how could it be possible? Madam didn't look like this. Furthermore, that fire was so big back then, how could she possibly escape from death?"
Nathaniel had been confused about this, too, but it didn't matter. Since Mango had come back, he would find the answer eventually.
"I will find out about this matter. In addition, I also investigated into another DNA test behind all of you, it was the hair left by Mango five years ago, which matches perfectly with her hair now. Doctor Huang already confirmed that she was Mango back then, the wife of mine, who I married openly. Although she refused to admit it now, I believe there must be some misunderstanding between us two. Since she and the child have come back, I won't let anyone hurt them again. No one!"
After that, Nathaniel looked in the direction of the hospital and frowned.
Madam Hans was already very old. The biggest concern in her life might be looking for the heir of the Hans family. Terrance was a disabled man. Although he could also get married and have children, Terrance had not thought about it in recent years, which made the old lady especially anxious.
It was still uncertain whether the bodyguard was a member of the Hans family, but judging from the fact that he was specifically targeting Katherine, this person must be a key figure.
"Thomas, do you still remember Newell?"
Nathaniel suddenly asked about the name of the bodyguard, and Thomas was at a loss for a moment.
"Newell? Are you talking about that Newell who disappeared in the fire with madam five years ago, Mr. Ye?"
"Yes. Help me find out his identity. Besides, Newell is not dead now. He is hiding somewhere in Ocean City. I don't care what methods you use, but you must find him and bring him to me secretly. There's a lot of things that I have to ask him."
"Yes!"
Thomas got to know the real identity of Mango, and he had not yet calmed down. He said hesitantly, "Mr. Ye, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Is Katherine that designer really madam? But the difference between them is simply significant."
"Do you mean their appearance? There is a technique in the world called plastic surgery. Although I don't know why she had a plastic surgery, I think the big fire five years ago must have left her some permanent damage. It's not surprising that she went through some plastic surgery."
Nathaniel suddenly seemed to understand something when he thought of Mango's tattoos all over her body. For a person who disliked tattoo so much, why did she suddenly become a person that she didn't like? When connecting it with the big fire five years ago, there was nothing one couldn't think of.
Thomas said in a low voice, "I'm not talking about the appearance. I feel that madam's character seems to have changed, too. She really seems to have become another person. In the past, madam loved you so much that she couldn't bear to see you suffer anything. But now that she has come back, I feel that she has no feelings for you at all. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but she hates you and disgust you a little. All I see is that you treat her so well, but she doesn't seem to appreciate it."
"This is why I need to find Newell. I can't figure out what happened that year even with my ability. And Mango never mentioned it, either, and she wouldn't even mention her previous identity. I think she might be trying to protect the safety of the child, but what is she afraid of? Is she guarding against someone who trys to hurt the child? I have to find out about all of these. If it was in the past, Mango would definitely tell me everything. I was her God, and her everything. Unfortunately, now she has completely shut me out from her world.""
Nathaniel felt a little helpless and a little heartache.
Could five years really cut off their feelings?
She had loved him so deeply, could that really be changed with the pass of time?
However, from Mango's eyes, he could no longer find that passionate love before, let alone the slightest shadow of her past. Thomas was right.
