Nathaniel watched as Mango bit him harshly. At the same time, he was worried that she would hurt her teeth.
"You..."
He wanted to ask her to bite him lighter, but Mango let go of him just as he said one word. With a face of depression, she said, "Urgh! The meat is very thick. It's not tasty."
Nathaniel's lips curled up immediately.
"Do you think I'm food? Heh...You still say that you're not a foodie."
He pointed his fingers out and gently wiped the saliva on the corner of Mango's mouth. He never looked at the bite marks on his arms at all.
Nathaniel's eyes were beautiful. It was as deep as the ocean and as bright as the stars, and Mango's heart thumped when she met his gaze.
What a seductive man!
Mango was all ears.
"Don't you know that you're a beauty that I want to feast with my eyes?"
"Hmm... So Mrs. Ye, are you thinking of devouring me?"
"Yes!"
Mango quickly nodded her head.
Nathaniel's lips curved into a bigger smile.
"You can't do it now, so bear with it. Don't worry, I'll feed you after you have recovered."
"Remember to keep your promises, Mr. Ye."
"Yes, Mrs. Ye."
Nathaniel touched her head and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
"I'm fine, maybe just a little sleepy."
Mango rubbed her eyes.
She was exhausted, and she wanted to sleep perhaps of the medicine she had been given.
However, Nathaniel knew that it was because Mango's body was too weak.
This unexpected attack had caused great damage to Mango's body.
There was a trace of pity in his eyes.
"Sleep then. I'll accompany you here."
"Don't you... have work to do?"
Mango could not open her eyes at this point.
Nathaniel smiled and said, "You're more important now."
Mango was delighted to hear that.
She knew that she was acting a bit childish.
However, Mango was a bit weak as she was sick. She did not want to pretend to be serious, and she just wanted to be coquettish.
Both of them were husband and wife. Besides, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted because they had a marriage certificate issued by the law.
The corners of Mango's lips curled up when she thought of this, and her eyes sparkled out of happiness too.
"Mr. Ye, you really know how to please others with your words."
"These words are from the bottom of my heart. It's time to sleep."
Nathaniel wouldn't say these words in the past, but he would now say all of these voluntarily as they had experienced so many things together.
He was shy at first, but he felt that everything was worth it when he saw Mango's delighted expression. Thus, he started to say more to please her.
Mango yawned. She finally failed to resist her drowsiness and laid down on Nathaniel's body. Then, she mumbled and said, "It's so tiring... to lay down and sleep."
Nathaniel's eyes held a trace of pity.
"Maybe I'll hug you when you sleep?" He asked.
Mango nodded and closed her eyes as she lay in Nathaniel's embrace. Soon after, Nathaniel could hear her even breaths.
Nathaniel felt that this moment was extremely peaceful.
He really wanted to stop time and just hug Mango like that till the end of their life.
Eugene saw Nathaniel hugging Mango, who was sleeping soundly when he came.
"Tsk Tsk, it's still early morning. Why do the both of you have to show off your affection in public?"
"Haha! You're just envious of us. Go out and wait for a while, I'll come out soon."
Eugene got a little depressed upon Nathaniel's words.
"Who's envious? I have my own wife too."
"Well, does Emberly let you hug her like this?"
Eugene's eyes narrowed slightly as he heard what Nathaniel said.
"Hmph! I won't argue with you since your wife is a patient."
He opened the door and got out with anger after he finished his words, but his voice became a lot softer.
Emberly would not let him go easily if he really disturbed Mango.
"I'm not afraid of my wife. I'm just respecting her."
Eugene said to himself and walked out.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel gently put Mango down when he saw Eugene leaving.
Mango's brows furrowed subconsciously, but she did not wake up. She continued to lay down on the bed, but the cold bed was definitely not as comfortable as Nathaniel's embrace, so she shrank her body subconsciously.
Nathaniel quickly used a blanket to cover her and adjusted the temperature in the ward.
Then, he only left the ward after he saw Mango sleeping soundly.
Eugene stood in the corridor, and his eyes kept looking towards the direction of Emberly's office from time to time, with his brows closely knitted to each other.
After Nathaniel came out and saw this scene, he whispered, "Did both of you get into an argument?"
"Hah! When did you see me arguing with her?"
Eugene glared at him and fiddled with a cigarette in his hands. He then said faintly, "Let's go out and talk?”
"Nah, let's stay here. I'm afraid that Mango will panic if she can't find me when she wakes up."
"Tsk. Is your wife a child?"
Eugene was a little annoyed.
Nathaniel said slowly, "This is what we call love."
"What the f*ck!"
Eugene put the cigarette near his ears, and there was a trace of annoyance within his eyes.
"What happened? Is Alayah looking fortrouble?"
