"Ah!"
Mango exclaimed, and her body had been held by Nathaniel.
When the two bodies touched each other, a long-lost feeling appeared between them again, which made them both stunned for a moment.
Nathaniel's wound actually hurt badly, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about the pain no matter how bad it was.
The plane was still going through turbulance, and Thomas, who was in front of him, said hurriedly.
"Mr. Ye, we are going through a turbulance, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he turned his head and saw Nathaniel and Mango, who were embracing each other. He quickly shut up and continued to pretend to be mute. However, his words still made Mango and Nathaniel quickly let go of each other.
Nathaniel was naturally reluctant to let go of her, not to mention that he had been celibate for five years. The person in his arms now was his wife, but somehow he couldn't do anything and didn't dare to do anything.
Mango felt a little embarrassed. She quickly sat straight and fastened the seat belt for herself.
If she didn't come here to clean up Nathaniel Ye's wounds, she wouldn't have forgotten about the safety belt. Now that such an embarrassing thing had happened, it was indeed a bit awkward.
For a moment, the two of them had nothing to say.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, so Thomas naturally couldn't say anything at this time.
After flying for more than an hour, the plane arrived at Ocean City.
When they landed in Ocean City, they could see that Mango was a little anxious and excited.
Nathaniel put on his coat and hid his injury very well. Although Ye Family had been uncompromising in Ocean City over the years, it also made some people jealous and even got themselves some enemies. If they found out about Nathaniel's health situation at this time, many people would probably take the opportunity to kill him.
After all, Ye Family would come to its end if Nathaniel died, and those enterprises would also be divided by other families.
Reality was always cruel.
After Nathaniel had put on his coat, Mango could not wait to get off the plane.
The weather outside was a little gloomy, and it was so bright that it made people feel uncomfortable and depressed.
After getting off the plane, Nathaniel held Mango's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous. I'll take care of everything."
Mango wanted to pull her hand back, but Nathaniel held it so tightly that she could only let him hold it. Thomas had already arranged a car and it was waiting for them.
After getting off the plane, Nathaniel and Mango directly got into the car and it quickly drove toward Shen Family.
Mango had not been back on this road for eight years.
When she got married and came into Ye family, Mango tried to go back to ease the relationship with her parents, but only ended up being beaten up and kicked out by her father. Her mother turned a blind eye to her, and her mother fell seriously sick because of her returning, and she almost died. Mango did not dare to go back after then.
Every time when her mother came out to buy vegetables or walk around, she would took that opportunity and secretly look at her mother. She even secretly bought something behind everyone's back and asked the servants at home to give them to her parents under various names. However, her parents later discovered this and threw out all the things she bought, and they also announced that they had disowned this daughter.
Mango had secretly cried for countless times, but there was nothing she could do about it. She could not change her parents' stubbornness at all. In the past, she did not dare, or was too embarrassed to trouble Nathaniel to help ease the relationship between them.
Later, when she learned that she was pregnant, she happily wanted to go back and tell her mother, hoping her parents to accept her for the sake of the baby in her belly. Unfortunately, before she could tell them all of this, she died in the big fire, and she parted with them for another five years.
As time went by, eight years had passed. She did not know if her parents had grown more grey hair by their temples, nor did she know if there were any major problems with their health.
All Mango's thoughts were focused on her parents. Looking at this familiar street, she couldn't help but feel a little wet at the corners of her eyes.
Nathaniel looked at her sad face and stretched out his arm to hold her shoulders.
Mango struggled, but she couldn't get rid of him. Just as she was about to get angry, she heard Nathaniel say, "I'm sorry for putting you through those grievance back then. After we got married, I was all focused on work for three years. I never thought about your desire for your parents, nor did I come back with you in time to seek for your parents' forgiveness. It was my negligence as a husband."
Originally, Mango didn't want to listen to Nathaniel's words. She also felt that those grievances were caused by herself. After all, nobody told her to fall in love with this man back then.
She had really sacrificed everything for this man.
However, after so many years, when she heard Nathaniel say these words, Mango's nose felt sore and her tears could not help falling down.
"Don't cry, dear. It's all my fault. If you feel wronged, you can beat me and scold me, but please don't cry. Your tears are more heart- wrenching than the knives." Nathaniel comforted Mango in a low voice.
Thomas felt his eyes were about to go blind.
He had been with Nathaniel for so many years. When had he ever seen Nathaniel so gentle to a woman? And those were really the words from Nathaniel!
Thomas couldn't believe it.
Mango, however, seemed to be really aggrieved to the extreme. When she heard Nathaniel's words, she was not trying to pretend, not did she want to hold back her feelings. She opened her mouth and bit Nathaniel's shoulder directly.
"Hiss-"
Mango bit really hard. Even though Nathaniel was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but scream and subconsciously tightened his muscles. However, he soon noticed that Mango hadn't loosened up her teeth yet. It would not be good if his thick skin and rough muscle cracked Mango's teeth.
This was the place where she grew up and lived for more than 20 years. She used to be the apple of her parents' hands, but now she ended up like this.
They all said that one's skin and hair was a gift from the parents. Now as she was about to stand in front of her parents with a complete unrecognizable face, did she really have that courage?
Mango suddenly became scared.
She grabbed the armrest of the car tightly, and her hands turned white directly. Even her body was slightly trembling. Her eyes were blinking in the direction of the gate, but her feet seemed to be anchored to the floor, and she couldn't move them at all.
Nathaniel naturally understood her nervous feeling of being close to home at this moment.
He held Mango's hands tightly.
The warm body temperature slightly brought Mango back to her senses.
There was confusion, timidity, excitement, and some unspeakable complexity in her eyes.
Nathaniel's heart tightened.
He held Mango in his arms and whispered, "Remember, you are now my secretary Katherine, and you are just a good friend of Mango. You come to visit them as a good friend. Only by telling yourself like this can you make yourself not nervous. Although I don't know why you don't want to reunite with them now, since you have decided to do so, I will help you."
Mango's mind became even more complicated.
Nathaniel was not a stupid person. On the contrary, he was so smart that he made people feel scared. He knew at a glance that she did not want to admit her identity, but he chose not to pursue the matter or ask her about it. He also gave her the warmth and support that she had never had before.
Mango didn't know how to respond. She could only stiffly follow Nathaniel out of the car and walked toward the the Shen family with unnatural steps. The driver of the Shen family was still Felix. Now he was not young anymore, but Mr. Shen never replaced him, which showed how nostalgic he was.
Mango looked at Felix who was moving his parents' luggage, but his physical strength was not as good as before, and he was somewhat slow.
Looking at his stooped body, Mango's eyes bacame a little red.
She wanted to go forward and call him Felix, but her throat seemed to have been choked by something, and she couldn't even utter a single word.
Nathaniel held her hand tightly, and he used a little strength, so that Mango could temporarily find her senses and stay rational.
She couldn't reunite with him now!
She couldn't say anything!
In this way, she seemed particularly repressed. She could only follow Nathaniel to the Shen family step by step. And the couple who came from the opposite side instantly made Mango's eyes teary.
