"Nathaniel! You're so cunning!"
By the time Mango realized what was going on, it was too late.
Nathaniel laughed in a low voice, and the next moment, he was already kissing her overbearingly.
Mango was afraid of touching his wound and tried to avoid the position of his chest as much as possible, which made Nathaniel even more unscrupulous. His big hands were moving on her body rampantly, and Mango was not able to stop him as she had too much to worry about.
As they were about to get out of control, Mango hurriedly pushed him away.
Her face was as red as the sunset glow, which was particularly attractive. She was gasping for breath and her body was a little limp. She could only stare at Nathaniel coquettishly, but she did not know that her watery eyes were even more seductive.
Nathaniel felt as if his entire body was about to explode.
He said in a hoarse voice, "You don't even know how I made it for the past five years. I stayed celibate for five years, can't I just have a bit of a tease?"
"No way!"
Although Mango was happy to hear what he said, she also felt herself to be a a bit too cruel if Nathaniel really hadn't touched another woman during the five years. But when she thought of Nathaniel's injury, she still held back her reluctance.
"Let's talk about it after you recover."
Nathaniel's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Do you mean that we can do it as soon as I recover?"
"I didn't say anything."
Seeing Nathaniel's sly look, Mango felt that she had set a trap for herself.
When Thomas came at this moment, it happened that he had to witness this romantic moment out of nowhere. He felt it was time for him to find a woman to have a relationship. Otherwise, he couldn't stand watching all the public display of affection all day long.
"Ahem, Mr. Ye, the food is here. It's ordered from the Imperial House."
Thomas deliberately coughed twice.
Mango's face became even redder and it burned more fiercely as if she had just been busted by someone all of a sudden. She couldn't stay in the room for another moment.
"I'm going to get Zion back for dinner."
After saying that, she ran away quickly.
Nathaniel laughed even more proudly.
Thomas touched his nose and joked, "Mr. Ye, did I come at the wrong time?"
"Well, call before you come next time, or it will be inconvenient." Nathaniel said, neither blushing nor panting, which instead made Thomas a bit blushed.
"Mr. Ye, is it fun to display the affection in front of me?"
"Not bad."
Nathaniel was in a good mood today, and for the first time, he made a joke with Thomas. Knowing that Mango would not come back soon, he asked in a low voice: "How's Terrance going with his investigation?"
Thomas put the thermos bottle on the table and said in a low voice, "Terrance handed Macy over to the police station for interrogation. Now he is mainly responsible for finding out Newell's background. But I heard as soon as Susie knew something had happened to Macy, she has been looking for people to get her out. After learning that it was you who gave the order personally, she is now already waiting at the Ye's Mansion. At present, the news about you being in the Military Hospital is confidential. Very few people know about it, but I am not sure about it after a long time."
Nathaniel had already predicted this situation, but he did not expect Susie to still have the nerve to come to look for them. This made Nathaniel feel a little disgusted.
"Find a way to suppress the business of Chu family.
I want to see Susie bow her head and tell me everything about the past."
"Yes."
Thomas nodded and said in a low voice, "There's still one more thing I think I should tell you." "Say it."
Nathaniel asked Thomas to help him up. He half leaned against the bed, looking a little tired.
After all, he had been seriously injured. In front of Mango and Zion, he was just trying his best to pretend, because he was afraid that they would worry about him. Now since they were not here, he could be at more ease.
Thomas felt that Nathaniel was too cruel to himself, and he had sacrificed too much for Mango and Zion. He didn't even feel like the Nathaniel he knew.
"Mr. Ye, your health is still the most important thing. Old Madame called back from abroad, and I didn't even dare to tell her that you were injured. I know that you care for madam and Young Master Zion, but if Old Madame finds out that you were injured because of them, who knows what she would think of madam and Young Master Zion. If you really care about their well being, take good care of yourself."
Thomas didn't intend to say it, but he still couldn't control himself.
Nathaniel paused for a moment, as if he was a little surprised.
Of all these years he had spent with Thomas, apart from the business matters, Thomas rarely cared about his private matters. There must be other reason for him to speak out this time.
"Does this has anything to do with what you're going to tell me?"
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Why did my mother call me all of a sudden?"
Old Madame Ye had been very busy abroad, and she also had her own things to do. Since her youngest son Nick passed away, she went to open a charity hall abroad and was busy every year. She said that she was doing it to reminisce her youngest son and to do something good for his sake, hoping that he would live better in his next life.
She still believed in karma.
In the past few years, Madam Ye had always been very busy, so busy that she didn't even have time to call Nathaniel once in a month. But now, she suddenly called to ask about Nathaniel, this made Nathaniel feel more or less alert.
Thomas said in a low voice, "I checked Nanny Zhang's call history. Not long ago, Nanny Zhang seemed to have called the old lady."
Nathaniel's expression didn't look very good.
Nanny Zhang alone was already enough for him to feel stressed. If his mother who didn't know the whole story was also involved, could he still move on with Mango?
Nathaniel frowned tightly and said in a low voice, "Help me connect a video call with my mother. I want to talk to her."
"But Mr. Ye, you look..."
"It's okay. It's always better than the rumors or keeping her guessing."
Nathaniel made a prompt decision, so Thomas didn't say anything more. He directly gave the phone to Nathaniel and dialed the video call of Madam Ye.
The phone was almost answered immediately.
When Madam Ye saw her son in a patient's gown lying on the bed, her face suddenly turned pale.
"Nathan, you are really injured!"
These words almost verified Nathaniel Ye's speculation.
Someone had already told Madam Ye about this. It was very likely to be Nanny Zhang.
Nathaniel said with a smile: "Mom, it's just a small injury. It doesn't matter. As for you, how do you know that I'm injured? Do you have X-ray vision from such a long distance?"
"Stop joking with me! Do you think that I have no clue about all the absurd things you have done from abroad? Nathan, you are not young anymore. Several years ago, you shut yourself up due to the death of Mango. I heard that you recently fell in love with a woman. As a mother, when I found out that you have got over the past sorrow, I naturally feel happy. But you have gone too far. How long have you known her? What kind of person is worthy of your protection even risking your life? I've never seen you being this good to Mango before. I am telling you, if you don't know where to draw the boundary, I will go back and watch you. Hurry up and get rid of that woman, don't wait till I go back and deal with her by myself, and it will be embarrassing by then. Do you understand?"
Madam Ye made it clear as soon as she started talking, making Nathaniel in a very unfavorable position at the moment.
