    Chapter 355


    Mango shouted in surprise when she identally spilt the pot of soup and noodles onto the floor


    while she held a bowl in her hand. In turn, her scream startled Nathaniel.


    "Mango!"


    "Mommy!"


    At the same time, Rita was also scared stiff.


    Then, Nathaniel quickly put Rita down before he rushed to Mango''s side and pulled the


    dumbfounded woman aside.


    "Are you hurt? Did you burn yourself?"


    Nathaniel''s face was already pale with fear.


    However, Mango just shook her head as she felt that her previous actions were silly indeed.


    "I... I just saw that the pot was tilted sideways and I wanted to adjust it properly. Apparently, the pot


    was extremely hot, and I was afraid that the bowl in my hand would drop, so..."


    She couldn''t even finish what she wanted to say.


    The bowl was fine because she was still holding on to it, but unfortunately, the pot had spilled over.


    Mango had never imagined she would end up doing something so clumsy, and she was so


    embarrassed at that moment that she wanted to hide.


    However, Nathaniel cared not for her awkwardness as he gave her a once- over. Once he made


    sure Mango was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.


    "How about you go and sit on the sofa for a bit? I''ll take care of this mess."


    Nathaniel led Mango to the sofa before he took away the empty bowl in her hand.


    Meanwhile, Rita was still in a state of shock as she looked at them.


    Then, Nathaniel said to her, "Come and stay with your mommy. Also, get a cup of water for her, will


    you?"


    "Oh, okay!"


    Rita finally came to her senses and she quickly went to get some water.


    Zion and Mango''s parents had also rushed out to check what was going on after they heard the


    commotion. Then, they were rendered speechless at the mess before them.


    Zion shook his head and asked, "Do married women have a lower IQ of something?"


    "You little brat, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Shen gave a sharp knock on Zion''s forehead.


    Meanwhile, Mango felt like she''d thoroughly embarrassed herself in front of her entire family, and


    even Charlotte and Thomas came to see what was going on.


    For a moment, Mango really wanted to go and hide in a closet.


    "All right, everything''s fine. Everyone can just go back to what they were doing, I''ll take care of this


    mess."


    Nathaniel''s heart ached when he saw Mango curled up in embarrassment on the sofa.


    After that, everyone else returned to their rooms, except for Rita.


    She handed the hot water to Mango and muttered, "Mommy, have some water so you can calm


    down."


    "Thank you."


    Mango felt humiliated, but she couldn''t say anything in front of Rita.


    Then, Rita said somewhat awkwardly when Mango took a sip of water, "Mommy, I''m sorry for what I


    did earlier. It was my fault, I shouldn''t have mmed the door, and I shouldn''t have gotten angry at


    you too. Daddy already told me off, so don''t be angry okay?"


    She gently shook Mango''s arm with a pitiful expression on her face. Hence, how could Mango bear


    to stay mad at her?


    "It''s all right, Mommy isn''t angry anymore."


    "Mommy, did you drop the pot because of me?"


    Rita could associate the two matters together, which made Mango flustered again.


    "No, I was just careless."


    "Then did you hurt yourself, mommy?"


    "No, I didn''t."


    Mango carried Rita into herp while her eyes subconsciously drifted to the kitchen.


    Inside, Nathaniel had already rolled up his sleeves and begun to clean up.


    The way someone as masculine as Nathaniel could look sofortable in the kitchen warmed


    Mango''s heart.


    "Wow, Daddy''s so handsome!"


    Rita revealed her unabashed admiration for her father once more, and she said what was on


    Mango''s mind as well.


    Without a doubt, Nathaniel was truly very handsome.


    Sheughed giddily as both her and Rita acted like lovesick puppies. Then, they watched as


    Nathaniel started cutting up vegetables and boiling noodles after he cleaned up.


    His movements were fluid and coherent as he worked in the kitchen.


    Mango felt like she would never get bored of watching him cook.


    After Nathaniel finished making the noodles, he looked up to see two girls looking at him with


    admiration in their eyes. All of a sudden, a content feeling washed over his heart, and even signing


    a million contracts would never make him this happy.


    "Lunch is ready."


    He called upon Mango and Rita.


    Although Rita had already eaten, she still wanted to try Nathaniel''s cooking.


    On the other hand, Mango was a little embarrassed.


    Nathaniel shook his head as he poured her a ss of milk and said, "Today is a day worth


    celebrating because you got your identity back."


    "Thank you."


    All their unhappiness previously evaporated at that moment and they celebrated the event happily.


    Even if it was a simple bowl of noodles and a ss of milk, they were still delighted nheless.


    A man from the Hans Family arrivedter in the afternoon, but he was stopped at the gate by


    Nathaniel.


    Mango knew about this, but she feigned ignorance instead.


    Yes, she was close to Madam Hans, but she felt like she''d already done enough for the older


    woman.


    Now, Madam Hans was treating her so badly because of Andrea. Truth be told, it was impossible for


    Mango to not be upset over this.


    Queena arrived after the man left, but she was also stopped outside the vi.


    Mango refused to pick up Terrance''s calls when he tried to contact her at night.


    In the end, Terrance had no choice but to send her a message filled with apologies. He asked her


    not to take this to heart and that he would deal with the whole affairter.


    However, Mango didn''t put too much hope into his words.


    Deal with it?


    How would Terrance deal with it?


    Would he get into a fight with Madam Hans over her?


    In fact, Mango wasn''t trying to be cruel, but she just felt inexplicably ufortable.


    In the end, she simply chose to ignore all of it and shut herself inside her room to design her


    wedding jewellery.


    Meanwhile, the deposit for the jewellery store had been paid. Perhaps it was borne out of her desire


    for asting love, but she really wanted to have a permanent memory with Nathaniel at this


    jewellery store.


    Mango was ustomed to designing cars previously, so she wasn''t too handy at designing


    jewellery. In the end, she went to Nathaniel for help.


    Nathaniel pondered for a moment before he drew a simple diagram on the design. However, it


    touched Mango greatly.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Nathaniel had drawn a picture of a vine.


    Then, he exined that the leaves of the vine represented him, and the stem represented Mango.


    Hence, they would be intertwined for the rest of their lives.


    Then, Mango suddenly realised that simplicity was truly the way to living their best life.


    After that, both of them excitedly brought the blueprints to the jewellery store.


    Soon after, the staff had custom made the jewellery mould forthem.


    Nathaniel requested for them to rush the order, and the jewellers obliged.


    On the other hand, Mango couldn''t help butugh when she saw Nathaniel''s anxious expression.


    She felt that their blissful days were just on the horizon.


    After that, Mango looped her arm through Nathaniel''s before both of them went to have a romantic


    dinner together. Then, Nathaniel brought her to the night market and see the night view.


    Mango felt so happy that she was grinning from ear-to-ear.


    By the time they returned home, it was almost midnight.


    Mango saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the vi.


    Her happy mood soured a little, but she still stopped the car.


    "Minister Xiao, it''s the middle of the night. What seems to be the problem?"


    Mango''s distant way of addressing her made Queena ufortable.


    "Your uncle and I decided take you down to the police station to get your identity sorted. As for the


    rest, we''ll exin it to Madam Hanster."


    In fact, Queena was also worried about Mango''s identity.


    However, Mango said faintly in reply, "There''s no need forthat."


    "Mango, I know that you''re upset that I didn''t do more to help, but you can''t just disregard your


    identity for the sake of fighting with us. There''s no way you can ever properly be a member of


    society without it. Listen to me, we''ll go there tomorrow and I don''t think Madam Hans will stop us


    either."


    "I said that it''s fine. I''ve already sorted out the issue of my identity without the help of the Hans


    Family. I don''t need your help to do it, just like how I don''t need to be the Hans Family''s


    granddaughter to survive. It''ste, Minister Xiao. I think it''s best for you to go home."


    Mango''s words were very in, but Queena was stunned.


    "You''ve gotten your identity card already? How is that possible? All the documents are with


    Terrance, so did you get a fake card? Mango, listen to me..."


    "Sorry, but I''m tired. I need to rest."


    After Mango finished speaking, she immediately rolled up the car window and went into the vi


    without any intention of speaking to Queena.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel hadn''t said a word the whole time, but he told a servant after he parked the


    car, "Have someone drive Minister Xiao home. It''ste, and I don''t want anything to happen to her."


    "Yes, sir."


    Mango didn''t say anything and just walked up the stairs after she saw what Nathaniel did.


    After a while, Nathaniel entered the room and hugged her from behind. He said, "No matter what,


    you''ll still have me. Furthermore, I think that Minister Xiao and Terrance are on your side. Although


    they might not have handled this properly, you can''t deny that they''re sincere about helping you."


    "I know. Minister Xiao is only good to me because of her guilt, and Terrance is good to me because


    he wants to make up for something. Even so, I don''t hate them, but I just feel ufortable. That


    should be my home and my family, but my grandmother is willing to believe an outsider over me.


    She might even think that I''m just being petty."


    Then, Mango gave a bitterugh.


    Nathaniel replied in a low voice, "She''s old, so she might''ve lost some of her rity. Moreover, you


    know that Andrea is only capable of confusing an olddy. Once the truthes out, Madam Hans


    will regret her actions and she''lle back crawling to you."


    "Well, I don''t want that."


    Obviously, he was able to hear the anger in Mango''s tone.


    "Well, I''ll love you even when no one else does. As for Andrea, fate will take care of it if someone


    else doesn''t. She''s going to dig her own grave, I''m sure of it."


    "You''re talking as if you have the power to determine what would happen to her."


    Thus, Mango was amused by his words.


    Then, both of them ended up teasing one another and they inevitably became aroused.


    When Mango realised that Nathaniel was trying to suppress his desires, she couldn''t help but say


    bashfully, "It''s been over a month, and the doctor gave me the all-clear. So if you want to, I..."


    "Let''s sleep."


    Nathaniel''s body was painfully tense, but Mango was surprised when he still held back.


    "I''m fine now. Really."


    "Let''s just wait for a while longer. Your body can''t take the stress, especially since you''ve just


    completed your confinement period. Don''t worry, I''m fine."


    Nathaniel''s words warmed Mango''s heart.


    Could she ever ask for anything more when she had such a considerate husband by her side?
