Chapter 657


    Nathaniel knew what she was thinking when he saw Mango''s contemtive expression. He hugged


    Mango tightly in his arms and said in a low voice, "Don''t worry, as long as I''m here, others won''t


    have the chance to hurt you again."


    Mango just smiled but didn''t say anything.


    Nathaniel knew that there were some things that needed to be done slowly.


    The rest of the travelers were stillining.


    Mango was a little worried. If that was the case, when would they be able to leave this ce?


    Just then, a jeep drove over and stopped in front of Mango and Nathaniel.


    "Mr. and Mrs. Ye, Mr. Malthus asked us to drive the car over."


    Mango was slightly taken aback. Before she could even figure out who he was referring to,


    Nathaniel had already took the car keys. He said to Mango, "Let''s go, get on the car."


    When the other travelers saw that Nathaniel had a car, they immediately became very friendly.


    "Hey there, how about we pay you and you bring us along?" Mango looked at these people. She


    didn''t really know most of them as she didn''t pay much attention to them even when they were on


    the bus.


    Nathaniel pulled Mango into the car and said, "Sorry, we have things to do. It''s not convenient to


    bring everyone along. There will be another tour bus passing byter. You guys should wait for a


    while."


    After saying that, he did not care what they said and closed the window directly. Then, he stepped


    on the gas pedal and drove away.


    Mango had already fastened her seat belt and was nomittal about Nathaniel''s action.


    After driving for a while, Nathaniel asked in a low voice, "Do you think it''s cruel for me to do that?"


    "No! When you go out, you should be careful. Those people are strangers, and we don''t know who


    they are. It’s not a good thing if disputes happen the moment you get into the car.”


    Mango made a gesture as she spoke.


    Nathaniel felt that Mango had grown up.


    In the past, Mango would have been very kind to take these people along. However, she did not say


    anything just now. Now that she noticed problems like these, Nathaniel did not know whether he


    should feelforted or regretful.


    Mango couldn''t understand theplicated


    emotions in Nathaniel''s eyes. However, she wasn''t toofortable and felt a little conflicted over


    what she was doing right now. However, she knew that this was the best way to minimize the


    damage done to her.


    When the car drove into the nearby vige, Mango saw the two big busses they had rode.


    She pulled Nathaniel''s hand and made a gesture, saying, "Let''s drive there."


    Obviously, Nathaniel also saw the bus.


    He nodded and drove to the driver''s side window. Because the window was opened a little bit,


    Mango and Nathaniel could hear the driver on a call. "They ran away. We''ve looked for them, but


    we couldn''t find them. I’m waiting here now, as I think they wille to this ce."


    A thought shed through Mango''s mind.


    Fortunately, Nathaniel was sensible. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to them?


    Needless to say, it must have had something to do with Edolie. After all, they didn''t know many


    people here, and Edolie had a conflict with them.


    When she thought that there would always be someone viciously targeting her, Mango felt


    extremely ufortable.


    But she didn''t want to say anything to Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel was also thinking about this problem, but he was afraid that Mango would overthink, so


    he didn''t talk about it.


    Both of them drove silently into another vige after a while.


    This vige was very ordinary and there were not many people. There was a small market at the


    entrance of the vige which sold seasonal fruits.


    Mango looked at the snakefruit that she liked as well as the mangosteens. She couldn''t help but pull


    at Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel stopped the car and whispered, "You just wait in the car, I will buy it for you. If anything


    happens, don''t worry about me and drive away by yourself."


    As he spoke, he handed the car keys to Mango.


    Mango paused for a moment but she did not say anything.


    After Nathaniel got out of the car, she suddenly felt a little nervous.


    Didn''t theye here to travel?


    Why did she have to be on tenterhooks?


    This kind of feeling made Mango feel upset.


    The special insignia on the car reminded Mango of something.


    Mr. Malthus?


    Merle?


    Mango still remembered the harm that Merle had done to her and the Hans family. She still felt a


    little ufortable.


    Just then, a strange phone number''s message came in.


    "I know that you don''t want to see me or hire me, but Dark Night Empire is yours, Madam. I am just


    a temporary agent. As long as you give the order, everyone will listen to you, and I will leave at any


    time. I know that I can''t make up for the harm that I have done to you. It''s useless to say sorry now,


    so please let me make up for what I did. Let me handle Edolie. You and Mr. Ye can just enjoy the


    trip, don''t worry."


    Mango looked at the text message on her phone and felt extremely ufortable.


    She had truly treated Merle as one of her men, and she had even done everything she could to


    save him. However, she did not expect that he would eventually stand on Madam Ye''s side.


    She couldn''tin. After all, it was Madam Ye who raised Merle, but she couldn''t forgive him as


    he still betrayed her.


    In Mango''s mind, she constantly recalled the times when she was with Merle. The more she thought


    about it, the more pain she felt.


    She replied with a text message straight away.


    "Don''t send me any more messages. I don''t need you to care about my affairs. Once something


    happens, it’s very difficult to pretend that it has never urred. At most, I can forget everything


    about us, but I don''t want to have anything to do with you anymore."


    After sending the message, Mango cklisted the number.


    When Merle saw the text message sent by Mango, he couldn''t help but smile bitterly.


    There wasn''t even the slightest possibility of friendship between him and Mango?


    He tried to send another text message to Mango but when the notification came out, Merle felt


    upset once again.


    Mango was the first woman he had fallen in love with, but now, and he didn''t even have the chance


    to be her friend. This kind of feeling would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he would be mired in


    regret.


    However, Mango didn''t care what Merle thought.


    She sent Rainie a WhatsApp message asking if she could get some money.


    Rainie did not say anything and transferred the money to her immediately.


    At this time, Nathaniel also came back.


    He hadrge bags of fruits all over, and Mango was a little surprised.


    "Why did you buy so many?"


    Mango made a gesture as she asked.


    Nathaniel said with a smile, "The fruits here are very cheap, and they are all ripe. They look good."


    He handed a snakefruit to Mango as he spoke.


    Nathaniel went around her just as Mango was about to reach out to take it.


    "Open your mouth. Don''t dirty your hands, if not you''ll have to wash themter."


    Mango suddenly felt a little shy.


    "What''s wrong? Open up. Are you waiting for me to feed you? Well, I wouldn''t mind that."


    Before Nathaniel could finish his sentence, Mango hurriedly opened her mouth and ate the


    snakefruit. However, because of her quick and flustered movements, her tongue identally licked


    the tip of Nathaniel''s fingers.


    Both of them were immediately stunned.


    It seemed that there was electricity surging through each other''s bodies and making them tremble.


    Mango was almost choked by the snakefruit and she coughed violently to relieve her


    embarrassment and awkwardness.


    Nathaniel quickly patted her on the back and said with a smile, "Eat slowly. No one is gonna take


    your fruit away. Is it delicious?"


    "Yep!"


    Mango nodded her head immediately.


    Nathaniel heard that it was delicious, so he quickly peeled another one.

    "Come on, let''s eat one more."


    Mango was a little embarrassed.


    Just then, a woman passed by them. As she saw this scene, she immediately shouted.


    "Oh my, young people nowadays are so romantic."


    Mango''s face suddenly turned red.


    She quickly made a gesture and said, "That''s enough for me, get in the car quickly."


    Nathaniel didn''t care about what others said.


    He pulled out a piece of tissue paper and gently wiped the corner of Mango''s mouth with a smile.


    Then, he said, "What''s the rush? We''re not in a hurry."


    Mango was already a little shy. Right now, there were many vendors looking over while Nathaniel


    was wiping the corners of Mango''s mouth gently.


    Her heart was thumping wildly, but at the same time, she also wished that she could escape from


    this ce as soon as possible.


    What was going on?


    They were a married couple and had two children. How could she still be unable to suppress her


    feelings?


    Mango tried her best to make herself a little more thick-skinned but to no avail. She just wasn''t born


    with it.


    She pulled Nathaniel into the car and then closed the door, but it seemed that she still could not


    shut out the curiousity and the teasing voice of others.


    "Hurry up and drive!"


    Mango pinched Nathaniel in a shy manner.


    "Ouch, it hurts!"


    Nathaniel shouted exaggeratedly.


    "Dear, they say harsh words or deeds demonstrate one''s love. So are we in love now?”


    Nathaniel didn''t know where he learned that, but it was so easy for him to say it.


    Mango admitted that she was no match for him and threw the car keys to him with an embarrassed


    face. Then, she acted as if she was about to get off the car.


    "Okay, fine, I won''t say it anymore. I''ll drive now. You''re my boss. I will do whatever you want."


    Nathaniel took the car keys and quickly drove away.


    Mango''s face blushed even redder.


    She didn''t want to be his boss.


    She turned away and looked at the lively market outside. She really wanted to go have a look, but


    the vige was too close to the bus and she didn''t want to get into trouble.


    After they left the vige, Nathaniel asked, "Love, where are we going next?"


    "Let''s go to the mechanic nearby. We have to change cars!"


    Mango made a gesture as she spoke.


    Nathaniel was stunned for a moment.


    He looked at the jeep he was driving and asked in confusion, "Isn''t this car alright?"


    Mango paused for a moment before saying, "Once a snake, always a snake. I don''t want to see


    anything I dislike on this trip. It''ll affect my mood."


    Nathaniel understood immediately.


    Mango must have found out that the car sent by Merle.


    Was it true that one could never be trusted ever again if they betrayed someone once?


    It was fortunate that he hadn''t done anything unfaithful to Mango.


    It was only now that Nathaniel understood that Mango was someone with harsh principles.


    She could spoil you with love, but she could rece you at any time. Although it hurt her, once


    anyone crossed her limits, she would leave even if she was terribly hurt.


    In that case, could Nathaniel really be considered someone Mango was going to leave?


    Recalling Mango''s resolution to divorce not long ago, Nathaniel couldn''t help but worry.
