Chapter 1022


    Nathaniel took a warm shower because it was cold outside before lying down by Mango''s side.


    Mango had a rtively better sleep this round, and she only woke up at 11 am the next morning.


    Perhaps she had gotten a better rest because she felt assured knowing that Nathaniel was here to


    support her, or maybe she had been too tired because Nathaniel tortured her too much in bedst


    night.


    When Mango looked at the clock, she thought that she had seen the time wrongly. She had even


    wondered whether the clock was faulty!


    However, she had no choice but to get up because she was hungry.


    Someone had ced a set of loungewear the had been chosen carefully on the nightstand.


    Furthermore, her slippers had been changed into a pair that had thick cotton.


    Did he think that she was going through her confinement period right now?


    Mango was slightly speechless after seeing what he had prepared, but she still wore the slippers


    and went downstairs.


    "Mommy, you''re awake? Urgh! You''ve slept for so


    long!"


    Rita sat on the sofa and yed with the toys that Nathaniel had bought for her, and she also had


    some food next to her.


    Mango blushed immediately because of Rita''s teasing.


    "Where''s your daddy?"


    "He went out to buy ingredients and said that he would make me some c chicken wingster."


    Rita''s eyes immediately sparkled when she started talking about food.


    "You''re such a glutton! Has your fever gone down?"


    Mango touched Rita''s forehead and heaved a sigh of relief only when she felt that Rita wasn''t


    burning up anymore.


    "Yep! It went down a long time ago. By the way Mommy, when did daddye back?"


    "He came backst night."


    Mango patted Rita''s head and poured herself a ss of water.


    Rita pouted her lips and said in reply, "Urgh! I wished daddy came back earlier. Maybe Ms. Zhang


    wouldn''t have bullied me if he did!"


    Mango felt upset instantly after hearing Rita''sints.


    "Your daddy and I will send you to kindergarten togetherter, or would you like to change another


    kindergarten?"


    "Mommy, can I not go to kindergarten? I don''t like going there at all!"


    Rita had a disgusted expression on her face as she said this.


    Then, Mango realized that Rita had already been traumatized because of this incident.


    Suddenly, she didn''t know how to exin this problem to Rita anymore.


    "Rita, everyone has their own tasks to do. Daddy needs to earn money, and I need to manage my


    company. Also, your brother needs toplete his studies, so you certainly have to go to


    kindergarten too."

    "Well, you can hire a private tutor for me, right?"


    After seeing how antisocial Rita was, Mango felt a little helpless because she did not know what to


    do.


    Nathaniel came back just at the right time.


    "What are you two talking over there? Rita, my darling, look at what daddy bought for you!"


    "Wow, you bought me so many fruits! There are blueberries, dragonfruits and mangosteen! They''re


    all my favourites! Daddy, I love you so much."


    When Rita heard that there was food, she forgot the problem that she and Mango had been


    discussing. She quickly ran over and eximed while tugging at the bag in Nathaniel''s hands.


    After all, she was still a child. Thus, she would immediately be excited whenever she saw


    something she liked.


    At that time, Mango truly hoped that her daughter could remain this innocent forever.


    Nathaniel saw the mixed feeling in Mango''s eyes when she looked at Rita. He said with a smile


    subconsciously, "Here you go, I''ve bought you some durians. I remember you liked them the most,


    right?"


    "Um... I don''t have much of an appetite."


    Mango sighed with some grief, and her eyebrows furrowed in frustration.


    "What''s wrong? Did Rita make you angry?"


    "I didn''t. Daddy, I''m very obedient!"


    Rita immediately proved her innocence when she heard Nathaniel''s question.


    However, Nathaniel was speechless, and he only replied slowly, "Wash the fruits before you eat


    them, alright?"


    "Oh, okay!"


    After answering Nathaniel, Rita ran away with the bag in her arms.


    Then, Nathaniel went around to sit down beside Mango and took her into his arms.


    "What''s wrong? Hmm?"


    "s! Rita doesn''t want to go to kindergarten because of this incident. What should I do? How can


    she go to primary schoolter if she doesn''t attend kindergarten? Besides, she will have a


    disadvantagepared to other children if she''s so antisocial!"


    Mango told Nathaniel all her worries.


    Nathaniel smiled in reply and said, "Don''t worry. She is only a kid, and she was bullied in


    kindergarten. Hence, she developed some antisocial characteristics due to drama. Rest assured,


    we can actually solve this problem easily!"


    "What? How do we solve it?"


    "You''ll find out soon."


    Nathaniel decided to keep Mango in the dark for now. Instead, when he saw that Mango was


    wearing the cotton slippers, he nodded and said with satisfaction, "From now on, you''ll wear cotton


    slippers at home. Also, I''ve already contacted the renovation workers. They''lle here this


    afternoon to change the heating system at home to a floor heating system. This way, the floor won''t


    be cold anymore."


    Upon hearing Nathaniel''s words, Mango felt depressed.


    "Nathaniel, the new year is just around the corner. After the new year, there''s only one more month


    left before we won''t have to use the heaters anymore. Why did you choose to reinstall the heating


    system at this time? The weather will turn warm one month after the new system. Don''t you think


    that it''s such a waste? Is it even necessary to do this?"


    "Of course, it is because your body is still currently frail! I asked Emberly about it, and she said that


    it would take a long time for your body to recover, and you could suffer even more because of the


    cold during this period. Moreover, the instation of the floor heating will only take three days.


    Doesn''t this sound like a good time for us to stay at grandpa''s house for a few days?"


    Since Nathaniel had made up his mind, Mango was naturally unable to retort.


    "Oh, well. It''s normal for my body to be like this, so don''t worry too much. Besides, a lot of other


    women who have given birth are also this frail, right?"


    "I don''t care about any other women, but I need my wife to be always healthy. Don''t you want to


    grow old together with me? Come on, my queen, what do you want to eat for lunch? I made some


    porridge in the morning. Would you like to have some first?"


    Nathaniel asked because he could tell that Mango had just woken up by her expression.


    However, Mango shook her head and said, "I don''t need it. Let''s leave it and eat it for lunch. Also,


    can you cook a bitter? I have something to ask you."


    "Sure, what is it?"


    Nathaniel put the groceries aside and obediently sat on the sofa while waiting for Mango''s question.


    Suddenly, Mango felt likeughing.


    "Haha! Why are you acting all obedient and docile?"


    "Well, Noah taught me that I always have to listen to my dear wife''s words."


    "Wow! I can''t believe that you need to learn this from him!"


    Mango felt that Nathaniel had be a sweet talker after being detained at the police station.


    Nathaniel smiled faintly in reply with a doting look written on his brows.


    Mango coughed and said, "Alright, how did youe out of the police station? I thought that the


    higher-ups were going to investigate this matter, right?"


    "Yeah, they wanted to do so thoroughly. However, once Laney fell into Lebanon''s hands, they had


    no choice to release me because Lebanon was pressuring them to do so."


    Mango was stunned when he heard her exnation.


    "Wait... do you and Lebanon know each other well, or did you make a deal with him? I heard from


    Lebanon that you promised to let me visit his mother. Why did you do so? Do you know who his


    mother is? Is she rted to us?"


    Nathaniel paused when he heard Mango a series of questions.


    This was because he didn''t know whether he should tell her the entire truth.


    Previously, he had always wanted to protect Mango, and he didn''t want her to get involved in


    Lebanon''s family feuds. After all, many incidents could happen to her once he exposed her true


    identity. On the other hand, he only wanted to continue living a peaceful life with her.


    However, things seemed to be beyond his control at the moment.


    If he didn''t tell Mango the truth right at the moment, this meant that Mango would be kept in the


    dark. If that happened, how could she defend herself if something dangerous happened to her?


    After Mango looked at Nathaniel''s expression, she knew that he was trying to make a decision.


    Hence, she did not rush him and only waited quietly instead.


    Nathaniel finally sighed and said, "I have something that I''ve hidden from you all this while."


    "Is it rted to Melissa?"


    Mango still remembered that woman.


    She and Nathaniel barely had any secrets between them, and the only thing that he had hidden


    from her was the truth about Melissa.


    Nathaniel nodded in reply to her question.


    He said, "Melissa is the daughter of Lebanon''s nanny. She came to me as she knew something


    about Lebanon. She wanted to use this news to get some resources from me so she could seed


    in the entertainment industry. However, we had a misunderstanding because of her, so I''ve already


    dealt with her."


    Mango was stunned for a moment when she heard his reply. She was trying her best to avoid


    thinking about what Nathaniel was trying to imply when he said he had ''dealt'' with her.


    "So, what do Lebanon''s problems have to do with you?"


    "Well, to be exact, I have nothing to do with him. However, Lebanon and you are actually biological


    siblings."


    Nathaniel''s words were a bolt from the blue, and Mango almost fainted out of shock when she


    heard them.


    "Wait... wait a minute! What did you say just now? Who is Lebanon''s sibling?"


    "It''s you."


    Nathaniel looked at Mango and said in a low voice, "Although I don''t know what happened in


    between, he swore that you were his biological sister, and both of you were born from the same


    mother. In fact, he even showed me the paternity test report that he did!"


    Mango felt like her brain was about to explode because of this sudden news.


    "Wait, a paternity test report? Between him and me? Did the test results show that we were both


    biological siblings?"


    "Well, I can''t say that there is a 100% possibility. After all, the result of the paternity test showed that


    both of you are 60% simr. So generally, I would say that there is a high chance that both of you


    are biological siblings."


    Nathaniel''s words stunned Mango once again.


    "Huh? How could a 60% simrity rate be enough to prove that both of us are siblings? It''s


    impossible for me to be his sister! Heck, I didn''t even know who he was before this!"


    Nathaniel had expected Mango to react this way.


    He held Mango''s hands andforted her, "Mango, only a father and son would have a simrity


    rate of 99%. Thus, it is likely for siblings to have a simrity rate of 60%."


    "No, way! How is it possible that we are both siblings? My mother only gave birth to me that year.


    After she gave me to the Shen family, she had adopted a boy. Could he be Lebanon? That''s not


    right. How could an adopted boy have blood rtions with me? Wait a moment!"


    Mango suddenly recalled something when she was rambling.


    She remembered that Queena did not tell her anything like this.


    Queen had said that the child of the Shen family had died, so she took the opportunity to the Shen


    family to raise Mango. Meanwhile, she was afraid that the people of the Hans family would find her,


    so she adopted a boy from an orphanage to create obfuscation.


    Who was the boy at the moment? Well, she would ignore the question about where he came from


    for now. But which family did Gisee from if the child of the Shen family had already passed


    away a long time ago?


    Mango suddenly remembered this question.


    "Wait a minute, let''s not talk about the rtionship between Lebanon and me first. Let''s start with


    Gise. Did Lebanon send her back?"


    "He did. She is in Ocean City now, so you can meet her any time. Why? Have you decided on how


    you want to get your revenge on her yet? If you don''t think that you can do it yourself, I can help you


    instead."


    When Nathaniel thought of how Mango''s back had turned into a horrible sight because of Gise,


    he wanted to make Gise suffer ten times more by peeling off her skin!


    However, Mango shook her head and said, "Nope, I''m not talking about this. I remembered very


    clearly that my mom said that the child of the Shen parents had died, so she took that opportunity to


    give me to them. So, where did the paternity test of Gise and the Shen familye from? Did


    anyone prove that the test was authentic in the first ce?"


    Well, Nathaniel had not expected her to ask this. In fact, he hadn''t been around when Queena had


    told Mango about their past. However, Nathaniel absolutely believed in Mango.


    If Mango remembered Queena''s words correctly, this meant that Gise''s identity was suspicious!
