Nathaniel had arranged it all at a quick pace.
Since he had made an impromptu decision to stay with Mango for seven days, he was afraid that something might really happen and that they wouldn't have a pleasant time together.
He recalled that they hadn't been together most of the time ever since Mango had married him. The moments they spent together were very few.
It wasn't just Madam Ye's matter that made him feel like he owed her. It was also the fact that they were married for eight years, and Mango had given birth to their children.
Browsing the tourist attractions on his mobile phone, he was suddenly having a hard time choosing a place to go.
His hands trembled slightly, and he called Thomas immediately.
"Thomas, where do you think will be a good place to travel to?"
Thomas was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Mr. Ye, are you going to let me take some time off and travel together with my wife?" "What are you talking about? I'm going out with
Mango. You should just stay at the company and work diligently."
Thomas was upset after hearing his words.
"Mr. Ye, the company is yours, so you should take care of it yourself."
"If you want it, I can give it to you. I don't have time for this right now."
Nathaniel was telling the truth.
Thomas was even more gloomy after hearing that.
"Hurry up. Where do you think will be fun? I want to book a flight ticket."
"Flight ticket? Don't you want to take your private jet?"
Thomas asked in confusion.
Nathaniel looked at the corridor outside and said softly, "Nope. I want to lead the life of an ordinary person, and I want to experience a simple life with her."
"An ordinary couple? What's so good about that?"
Nathaniel was stunned by his words.
What did he just say?
There was nothing wrong with pursuing an ordinary life, right?
As long as the two of them could be together, staying at home was a vacation. Nevertheless, Nathaniel still remembered the look in Mango's eyes when they first got married.
He owed Mango a honeymoon!
Nathaniel whispered, "So, what do you think?"
"If you opt for nice weather, it's Nakasara for sure. Clayville has some delicious food. Almafy Coast is interesting. The atmosphere there is relaxing."
Upon hearing his words, Nathaniel finally made up his mind.
"Then, please help me book two flight tickets to Nakasara. Be quick. It's best if you find a flight today."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Thomas hurried to get everything ready.
Nathaniel returned to the ward and saw Mango staring outside the window in a daze.
There was a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
In the past, Mango wasn't like this. However, it was somehow heart-wrenching when he saw her doing this.
He stepped forward and gently embraced her from behind.
Mango was stunned when she felt his familiar aura. She wanted to struggle, but she fell silent instead.
"Shall we start the seven days now?"
However, Mango's response made him upset.
"Is that the only way to make you feel more comfortable? If so, you can do whatever you want."
Nathaniel's words caused Mango to fall silent once more.
She didn't want to hurt him. She also knew that sometimes words cut deeper than a knife.
However, she really didn't mean it.
"Well, let's not talk about it. I don't care what you want to do. After all, we have to stay together for seven days, right?"
Nathaniel put on a smile.
Nevertheless, Mango could see the bitterness beneath it.
Honestly, she didn't feel good either.
"What do you think of Nakasara? I remember when we just got married, you wanted to have a honeymoon, but I was too busy at that time. In the end, it was delayed for eight years. Since we have this opportunity, shall we go to Nakasara together?"
Nathaniel's words made Mango pause again.
She didn't expect that he still remembered they hadn't been on a honeymoon since eight years ago. It probably wasn't because he was busy, but it was because he hadn't thought about it.
After all, Nathaniel didn't know what she wanted at that time.
Now that they were able to have a honeymoon, she nodded immediately.
Meanwhile, Thomas had booked the flight tickets.
Then, Nathaniel asked softly, "Do you need anything? If not, let's go now."
"What about the children?"
Mango was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, I've already contacted a nanny to take care of them."
Denver knew that Rainie's opinion was already wavering.
Then, he continued, "If you really wished for her happiness, you should let go of her. Mr. Ye is a real man, but he can't do everything on his own. He didn't expect things to turn out like this either, did he? Besides, it was Mango's own choice. Although she knew about the huge responsibilities of being his wife, she was still willing to be a military wife. What does that mean? It shows that she loves him. The word love is very magical. It can start wars and mend broken hearts. Do you want to Mango to regret and suffer for the rest of her life? They love each other, and now what they need most is time." "Well, since you're so good at talking about love, when will you get yourself a girlfriend? A few days ago, mom called and asked if you have one. Denver, if you don't find a girlfriend now, mom and dad will think that you're gay!"
Rainie immediately changed the topic.
Denver was taken by surprise and whined.
"Rainie, can you stop doing this?"
"Come home with me to see mom and dad."
Rainie immediately grabbed his arm and dragged him home.
When Mango and Nathaniel arrived at the airport, Mango was a little puzzled.
Nathaniel wanted to know what she was thinking, so he said with a smile, "From now on, we are not Mr. Ye or Ms. Shen. We are just an ordinary couple. Shall we travel like one?"
Mango paused for a moment, but she still nodded her head.
Before marrying Nathaniel, she took flights in economy class too.
After getting on the plane, Mango was stunned once again.
Nathaniel was also startled.
Thomas did as he was told. He really went and booked an economy class flight for them.
Looking at the crowded cabin, Nathaniel felt a little depressed.
Weren't his legs going to be crippled after flying for six hours?
Mango seemed to have seen through his embarrassment. She smiled and gestured, "Would you like an upgrade?"
Seeing the teasing look in her eyes, Nathaniel gritted his teeth and said, "No need, the economy cabin is fine."
Mango did not argue either. Instead, she felt a strange sense of relief in her heart.
She seemed to have returned to when she was still in her university days, back to the time when she travelled with Rainie in the economy class.
Mango found their assigned seats in no time.
Nathaniel saw Mango's seat was by the window, and he was in the aisle seat while there was an empty seat in the middle.
He suddenly felt a little angry.
What was wrong with Thomas?
Shouldn't he have booked the seats next to each other?
Why was there an empty seat in the middle?
Just as Nathaniel was perplexed, a tall man walked over and sat directly next to Mango.
