Chapter 213
Then, Nathaniel looked at Mango who was so charming that he could not help but want more. Next, the two soon tangled up together.
Then, the mood in the room rose steeply, and a different scent permeated the air.
Just as they were reaching the climax, Mango suddenly pushed Nathaniel away with a slight blush on her face.
Obviously, Nathaniel was a little stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what was going on. When he wanted to go forward again, Mango stopped him.
"My period isn't over yet."
Her voice was so soft that it was almost impossible to hear it. However, Nathaniel still realized what was going on and he immediately felt a little annoyed.
"How many days are left?"
"Count by yourself then!"
Thus, Mango pushed him away and went straight to the bathroom, it was because she was really ashamed at this moment.
"Why did I almost let myself be seduced?"
Hence, Nathaniel felt a bit somber. Looking at his tensed body, he sighed slowly and he got up to pour Mango a glass of brown sugar water.
When Mango came out of the bathroom, Nathaniel handed over the drink and he said softly, "Here, drink something warm. I'll go to the bathroom."
As for what he was going to do in the bathroom, Mango could more or less guess it.
Previously, she had lived together with Nathaniel as husband and wife but they were never so trapped by strong desire as they were now. Mango had always thought that sexual desire would wane with age, but this did not seem like the case with both of them.
Thus, Mango left the room as if she was running away. Then, she ran into Thomas in the corridor.
"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Indeed, Mango just asked casually but Thomas paused for a moment and he said, "The Tang family has begun to fight back."
"The Tang family?"
Then, Mango's expression soured. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
The Tang family, of course, was Abyss. What did he want to do now?
"What did he do?"
Next, Mango asked and Thomas whispered, "The Tang family has begun to raise funds. I don't know where they got the capital, and they withdrew almost all their liquidity. As for our land, it's a little useless now. Plus, we're now on the defensive."
"What?"
Hence, Mango knew a little bit about land issues. However, now that Thomas said this, what Nathaniel was confident about turned out to be wrong. Now that they were on the defensive, it seemed that Abyss was truly capable.
"Nathan is in the room. You can go and find him later."
"Sure."
Thus, Thomas did not dare to disturb her anymore, and afterward, Mango went to the garden alone.
The sunshine outside was just right, but she felt uneasy in her heart.
Was she going to be an enemy of Abyss in the end?
Just as she thought about it, a text message tone came from her phone.
Thus, Mango did not think much of it and she clicked it to view it. However, she was immediately shocked.
The message turned out to be an MMS, and the contents were a picture of the Shen Family!
In the picture, they were tied to stools and their mouths were covered. Thus, they looked like they were struggling with pain.
Mango's chest suddenly tightened.
Who was it?
Gosh! Who had kidnapped them?
Who sent her this message?
Thus, Mango quickly called back, but the person on the other end did not answer. Hence, she had no choice but to send a text message back.
"Who are you? What have you done to my parents?"
At the time, Mango's heart was in a panic. In fact, Mango owed a lot to her parents. Truthfully, they had suffered plenty over the past five years, and now they continued to suffer for her. This feeling was terrible for any daughter to feel.
However, she got no reply even after a long time. When Mango called back as she could not bear waiting any longer, the phone was turned off instead.
Even though Mango was anxious, but she knew that she could not rush now.
Thus, she quickly returned to the ward and she saw Nathaniel and Thomas were talking about something. Hence, she did not come forward to disturb them.
Then, Madam Ye seemingly showed up out of nowhere. When she saw Mango, she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"
Thus, Mango saw Madam Ye and she said sadly, "My parents were kidnapped. They sent me a message, but they didn't answer my calls and they didn't tell me the next step. I am very worried, and I have no idea what to do now."
In truth, Mango had always been worried about this matter. Furthermore, she had even asked Merle to find news about her parents. However, there was still no news until now. Nevertheless, she did not expect that someone would send a message personally today, but the person's identity was still hidden in the fog.
As she looked at the picture on the message, Madam Ye frowned and said, "The place doesn't look like it's here in the US."
"I think so. But I can't see anything from this alone. So, I want Nathaniel's help to locate the origin of this number, but he seems busy now."
Mango said this in a low voice.
Obviously, Nathaniel had a lot of things to do now. Actually, she had never wanted to ask him for help, but Nathaniel's computer skills were great and she needed to know the exact location.
Next, Madam Ye patted her on the shoulder and she said, "It'll be okay. There will be clues no matter what, and you can speak to Nathaniel after he's done."
After she heard Madam Ye speak, Mango raised her head and she saw that Nathaniel and Thomas had finished speaking. It seemed that Thomas was leaving.
Then, Mango nodded to the old lady before she walked toward Nathaniel.
"What's wrong? What did you talk about with mom?"
Then, Nathaniel dotingly touched her head, he somehow felt that he was getting more fond of her, even her hair seemed so smooth and mesmerizing.
Thus, how could Mango not see the glint in Nathaniel's eyes? However, she interrupted the sweet scene and said, "I need your help. Let's head inside."
"What issue needs to be discussed inside? Mango, I'm telling you, I just took a cold shower. Even if today's weather isn't really cold, but it isn't warm either. If I catch a cold..." "What are you thinking?"
At that, Mango's face turned red again.
Were men's brains only filled with dirty things?
Then, Nathaniel's lips curled into a smile as he saw her blushing face.
In fact, he had seen Madam Ye and Thomas were looking at him, but he did not care. Right now, he felt like a teenager of eighteen and he was easily aroused. Furthermore, he wanted to press Mango underneath him at any time.
Naturally, Mango knew what Nathaniel was thinking, but she still took his hand and she led him inside. When Nathaniel was about to hug her, she blocked him with her arms.
"I have something to tell you."
"Kiss me first and tell me later."
Nathaniel kept pushing for more nowadays.
However, Mango bit her lower lip and she said hesitantly, "It's about my parents."
Her words stopped Nathaniel.
Truthfully, too many things had happened recently and they all piled up together. Although he had sent people to investigate the Shen family's parents, they had no news until now. However, Nathaniel was stunned when he heard this from Mango, and then he let go of her.
"Do you have any news?"
"Well, someone sent me a message just now. Have a look and see if you can find out where the number originates from." Next, Mango handed the phone to Nathaniel.
Thus, Nathaniel's expression was rather grave.
After he took the phone, he booted up the computer and he started searching for the number. However after a few minutes, Nathaniel's brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?"
Mango was even more worried.
After that, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "This phone number has been blocked, and it has been encrypted with several layers. I can't find the origin, and whenever I reach the crucial part it gets blocked. This is rare, and it must be the work of a professional."
After she heard Nathaniel's words, Mango suddenly felt depressed.
If Nathaniel was unable to crack the code, what other clues could there be?
As Nathaniel saw that Mango was in a poor mood, he stood up and said, "I'll see if there are other ways. Don't worry."
"Well, why did Thomas see you? If you have something to do, then I'll just find out more information by myself."
In fact, Mango knew that Nathaniel had a lot of things to do, so naturally she did not want to drag him down further.
Next, Nathaniel turned off the computer and he said, "Nothing. It's about the Tang family."
"Huh? Is it about Abyss?"
"Well, I have already decided to fight against the Tang family."
When Nathaniel said this, he looked at Mango. Obviously, he wanted to see Mango's reaction.
Then, Mango sighed and she said, "Yeah, fight then. He did go a little overboard."
After saying this, Mango felt her heart become heavy.
Some people, after all, could not return to what they once were.
Nathaniel looked at Mango and he whispered, "It's all right to sacrifice your all for the people who are worth it, but for those who aren't, that's not a loss. Life is a long road, and there are many things that you don't need to remember."
"But he still saved our children and me."
"But he also hurt Rita."
Nathaniel's voice remained monotone, but Mango knew that he was not happy.
Indeed, it was difficult for Mango and Nathaniel to have common views on the topic of Abyss.
"What did he do?"
Hence, Mango had to change the subject because she sensed that Nathaniel was about to get angry as he just suppressed it now.
Then, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes and he said in a low voice, "Nothing much, they just found a venture capital firm to raise funds."
"Do you have a way to stop that?"
In the end, Mango was still worried about Nathaniel. In fact, if one were to do business at this level, especially a family business, there would be few gaps in funding. Even if there were, surely there would be people who were willing to provide the funds solely for the fact that these businesses were thriving. As long as they had a piece of it, the benefits in the future were guaranteed. However, they had to undertake a considerable amount of risk as well.
Although Mango did not know which company was working for the Tang family, it was very likely that it would hinder Nathaniel's actions. Otherwise, Abyss would directly attack Nathaniel instead.
Truly, that was the last thing Mango wanted to see.
Nathaniel felt much better when he saw Mango's worried gaze.
"Hmm...Are you worried about me?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? You're my husband though."
Then, Mango glared at him. After that, she was pulled into Nathaniel's arms and she was trapped.
"If one day both Abyss and I were in danger at the same time, who would you save first?"
This question was stupid and even regular people would not bother to ask it, let alone a man of Nathaniel's position. However, he still asked the question.
When faced with love, everyone was uneasy and insecure especially when a rival showed up. What was more, that rival was also once very kind to his woman. At this time, Mango looked at Nathaniel who was pretending to be calm and she suddenly felt rather distressed.
She had given her heart to this man five years ago. However, he was still uneasy now, and he did not have any sense of security at all.
Was it because she did not love him deeply enough? Or was it because she loved him too deeply?
Thus, Mango did not know the answer. Nevertheless, she answered with a smile, "Guess."
