"Hello, who are you looking for?"
She could hear a woman's voice answering her call.
Mango's brows creased slightly.
In the old days, she might have hung up directly, but now, she was calm.
"Where's Nathaniel? I am his wife."
Mango's tone was at the right pitch.
The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, and then Mango could only hear a cry, "Nathaniel, your wife is calling you."
It didn't take long for Nathaniel to run over.
"Hey...Mango."
Nathaniel gasped.
Mango's longing for him was suppressed because of that woman.
"Who's she?"
As soon as she spoke, Mango felt that she was just like a jealous woman, but she didn't want to endure it. She was getting jealous!
Nathaniel was slightly stunned. He was then glanced at the person next to him and whispered, "She's a technician here. My clothes were all wet, and I placed my mobile outside. I didn't miss your calls on purpose.
"Oh I see."
Mango dragged her words, but she didn't say anything else.
Nathaniel could sense that she was in a bad mood.
He took his phone out of the house and went to a quieter place outside. He whispered, "Let's have a video chat."
"Okay."
After that, Mango did not say anything else.
When Nathaniel called her using video call, Mango directly picked it up.
Seeing that Nathaniel wore only a short-sleeved shirt, Mango's expression darkened as his muscular chest could be clearly seen even though it was actually covered with clothes.
"Does the technician looks beautiful? What did you do? Why did your clothes get wet? Huh?"
Mango's brows furrowed slightly. Nathaniel immediately laughed when he saw her questioning him.
"Are you jealous of her?" "Yes.
Mango just wanted to admit it directly without putting on airs.
Nathaniel's smile grew even wider.
"I'm very pleased."
"Don't change the topic. You haven't answered my question yet."
Mango pouted and continued to pester him by making a detailed inquiry.
Nathaniel quickly turned over the angle of the video, and she caught sight of a tall, robust woman instructing a technical staff on how to fix a computer.
Mango was slightly stunned. She probably didn't expect Nathaniel to be so direct. When she saw that the woman was not Nathaniel's cup of tea, only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
"How did your clothes get wet?"
"Darling, it's raining here, and I didn't bring an umbrella."
Nathaniel replied very seriously.
Only then did Mango nod her head.
"Well, I will forgive the fact that another woman had answered your phone, but I don't want it to happen again. Otherwise, I might even do the same by letting a man answer your call. Let's see how you will feel then!"
"No way!"
Nathaniel suddenly became anxious.
"I promise that I won't let other women touch my cell phone next time, even if it gets wet in the rain."
"That's more like it."
Mango finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After she had finished checking up on him, Mango whispered, "I miss you...when will you come back?"
"I will probably take another day to deal with the situation here. I haven't found Rainie's father yet. Things are getting more complicated than I thought.
Nathaniel knew the relationship between Mango and Rainie, so he would certainly take up this matter seriously.
While she saw Nathaniel was busy, she quickly nodded and said, "Well, be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Alright, you can go home if you're too bored. Ignore what the press will say. Anyway, everything will be over once Kolton has been exposed. Besides, you have me, right?"
Nathaniel knew that Mango was a person who refused to be idle. It was hard for her to stay in the hospital all day long and pretend to be ill.
Mango nodded and said, "Mom wants me to go over her house to have dinner. Shall I go and stay at Grandpa's place for a couple of days?"
"That's fine."
Nathaniel was glad to hear that Mango was going to Brantley's place. After all, the security of the military compound was strong. With the company of her loved ones, those strangers will not harass her too much.
Mango thought of Sisi and said in a low voice, "Sisi is back. I've asked her to stay in The Ye's Mansion."
Nathaniel was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't intend to forgive her that easy."
"Whatever. Since she's your sister, I'm fine with it even if you disown her for the rest of your life."
Nathaniel knew that Mango was trying to stimulate him. He couldn't help but let out a sigh and say, "You're always tolerant towards my family. Don't you know that I feel bad for you? You wouldn't have to suffer so much.
"Anyway, I'm fine now. On the contrary, we managed to defeat Kolton because of her. After all, it's better than having someone scheming against us all the time, right? Besides, she's pregnant now and needs to maintain a good mood. She used to live like an orphan, and she couldn't meet up with her mother, whom she missed. You're her only brother, but both of you refused to recognise each other. She has such a hard life..."
Upon hearing Mango's words, Nathaniel asked in a low voice, "You know everything?"
