Chapter 1172


    "The Hans family?"


    Nathaniel frowned as he did not expect that.


    Then, he tilted his head and looked at Mango. When he saw that Mango was surprised, he could


    not help but whisper, "Continue following her."


    "Yes."


    After Nathaniel hung up the call, the two of them were silent.


    Suddenly, Mango''s body trembled slightly.


    Was the Hans family involved in this issue?


    No! Mango did not want the Hans family to get caught up in this mess!


    After all, she cared about her mother''s family the most!


    Suddenly, Nathaniel said, "Why don''t we go to the Hans family too?"


    "What?"


    Mango was a little surprised to hear what he had said.


    When Nathaniel saw how confused his wife was, he felt a little upset for her.


    "Mango, we can visit them on the first day of the


    new year."


    "But didn''t Mateo already go to my grandpa''s house?"


    Mango was puzzled when she heard Nathaniel''s suggestion.


    However, Nathaniel hugged her said in a distressed tone, "Mateo and Brantley came to visit us, but


    we never visited them, right? They are your maternal family, so you can tell them that you want to


    go back and apany them because you miss them. I think he won''t refuse. Instead, he''ll be very


    happy, yeah? Maybe we can sleep over there tonight if you want."


    Mango became excited once she heard what Nathaniel had said.


    "Yeah! You''re right! I can go back to the Hans family."


    "Haha! You''re so silly!"


    Nathaniel knew how much Mango cared about the Hans family. She did not want the Hans family to


    have anything to do with Magnolia. However, unfortunately, things would never go the way she


    wanted.


    At this thought, he could only hug Mango tightly.


    "Mango." "Hmm?"


    "I want to kiss you."


    When Mango heard what Nathaniel had said, her mind went nk, and she couldn''t hear anything


    he was saying. After all, ever since she knew that Magnolia had gone to the Hans family, her mind


    was a mess.


    In fact, her brain couldn''t process anything right now because she was too anxious.


    Hence, Nathaniel did not say anything else and immediately kissed Mango.


    Mango was startled for a moment, and then his kiss swept her off her feet.


    During their kiss, Nathaniel panted a little. When he let go of Mango, he saw Mango was also


    panting rapidly. Her blushing face made his imagination go wild.


    Suddenly, he desired her so much.


    However, now that they were in such a dire situation, Nathaniel also knew that he could only


    suppress himself.


    "Let''s go to the Hans family? Okay?"


    Nathaniel''s voice was husky as he was trying to hold himself back.


    Right now, Mango felt more rxed.


    No matter what would happen in the future, Nathaniel would always stay by her side, wouldn''t he?


    At this thought, she suddenly felt more energized.


    "Alright, then."


    After all, she couldn''t solve this problem if she continued to avoid it. If Magnolia had something to do


    with the Hans family, Mango had to find out what the truth was.


    When Nathaniel saw that Mango had calmed down, he felt much more relieved.


    Then, both of them drove towards the Hans family.


    However, both of them still felt stuffy in the car.


    Mango nced at Nathaniel and felt that he was sweating, so she could not help butugh.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Nathaniel did not understand why Mango was suddenlyughing at him.


    "Nah, it''s nothing."


    The corners of Mango''s lips were slightly curved up, and she appeared to be in a better mood now.


    After that, Nathaniel stretched out his hand and grabbed Mango. On the other hand, Mango wanted


    to pull her hand out, but she failed to do so.


    "Stop it! Drive carefully."


    Nathaniel did not say anything, but his expression became much gentler.


    When they reached the Hans family, the butler was startled.


    "Miss, Sir, you''re back? Why did youe back at this hour?"


    "What? Do we have to make an appointment in advance when we want toe home? Is Mateo


    busy now?"


    Although Mango was smiling, she had a sharp gaze on her face right now.


    The old butler was slightly confounded when he heard Mango''s reply as he didn''t expect her to look


    so serious. Then, he said, "No, Mr. Hans isn''t busy. But it''s just..."


    "Just what?"


    It was still snowing outside, but Mango''s nced at the butler with a colder gaze. Thus, the old


    butler was so scared that he did not know what to say.


    Then, Nathaniel whispered, "Well, today is the first day of the new year. Let''s not scare the butler


    too much, alright? Come on, we''ll go in now."


    When the butler heard what Nathaniel had said, he did not dare to stop them.


    Then, Nathaniel and Mango walked in.


    Meanwhile, Terrance was sitting in the living room in deep thought.


    Thus, he didn''t even notice Mango when she hade in.


    Nathaniel nced at the coffee table, and there were two teacups on the table. Obviously, someone


    hade here before them as the tea in the teacup was still hot. Did the guest just leave, or were


    they still here?


    Mango saw the same scene as well.


    "Terrance, what''s wrong? What are you thinking about? Do you have a guest?"


    Mango sat down across Terrance as she asked.


    When she asked this, Terrance finally came back to his senses. However, he was slightly stunned


    when he saw Mango.


    "Mango? When did youe?"


    "I just arrived. Why are you in a daze?"


    Mango asked as she observed Terrance. It was obvious that he wasn''t in his best condition right


    now.


    "Oh, it''s nothing. I was just thinking about something. Is Nathan here too? Have a seat! Hey, get


    someone to change the teacups and brew a new pot of tea!"


    Terrance warmly weed them and ordered the butler to get some tea for them.


    After all, Terrance liked to drink tea no matter what time it was.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel did not refuse.


    However, Mango looked at Terrance and asked with a smile, "Terrance, did a gueste by just


    now?"


    "Huh? Ah, yes. Someone came just now."


    Terrance''s answered them with a stiff expression.


    "Who? Do I know the person? I came here to visit you because it''s the first day of the new year, so I


    also want to get to know your guest. You know, I''m running a film and televisionpany no, and I


    need some connections. Please, Terrance, you have to help me."


    Mango requested naturally.


    On the other hand, Terrance felt a little uneasy and said, "This person is an old friend of mine, and


    he isn''t someone in the entertainment industry. So, I don''t think that he can help you in any way.


    When both of us are free in the future, I''ll introduce you to some people in the industry, and I


    promise you that they will be useful connections! Besides, don''t you have Nathan? What else can I


    help you with him around? Haha!"


    As Terrance spoke, heughed at himself.


    Mango also smiled in reply, but she felt a little upset.


    It seemed that Magnolia had stopped by, but Mango did not know whether she had left or not.


    However, based on what Terrance had said, it appeared that he didn''t want to tell her anything now.


    Plus, he even avoided the topic.


    At this thought, Mango felt gloomy.


    She always thought that Terrance would always support her. Therefore, she thought that he would


    always stand by her no matter what problems she faced. However, right now, she realized that it


    was only her wishful thinking.


    When Nathaniel saw this, he held Mango''s hand tofort her.


    "Terrance, I want to bring Mango out for a walk."


    Nathaniel''s words caught Terrance off guard.


    "Why are you going out for a walk now? It''s snowing outside, and it''s such a cold day! Why don''t


    both of you stay at home and drink some hot tea instead?"


    Nathaniel smiled when he heard Terrance''s answer and reply, "I said I want to take Mango on a trip


    abroad."


    "Go abroad? What are you nning to do?"


    Then, Terrance looked at Mango and said worriedly, "It''s not safe outside now, so it''s better for both


    of you to stay at home without going anywhere."


    Mango looked at Terrance and smiled before replying, "Terrance, I heard that the scenery in Ango


    isn''t bad. I met a friend there, so I wanted to go over and take a look."


    "No way!"


    Suddenly, Terrance''s objected to their idea with a loud voice and eximed in an upset expression.


    Hence, Mango was shocked to hear how emotional he sounded.


    "What''s wrong with you, Terrance? Why are you so angry?"


    Mango was a little frightened of Terrance right now.


    Only then did Terrance realize that he had acted too emotionally just now.


    Then, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, only to find that the tea had be


    cold.


    "Don''t you understand what I said? I said that it isn''t peaceful outside this year, so you should just


    stay at home. You''ve already gone through so many hardships, so why can''t you learn your lesson?


    Besides, Nathan can only protect you once! Do you think he can protect you for a lifetime? You


    aren''t young anymore., Listen to me, alright? You should stay at home. You can''t go anywhere."

    Mango''s eyes were fixed on Terrance as he spoke.


    Although his expression was somewhat natural, something seemed to be amiss. He looked worried,


    but eventually, he suppressed his true feelings.


    This was definitely suspicious!


    Did Magnolia say something to Terrance?


    Mango really wanted to know the truth right now.


    Just as she was about to speak, Nathaniel said, "Well, Terrance, Mango did not just suddenly


    decide to go to Ango. It''s just that someone found her and told us that she''s his younger sister.


    We''re also a little confused, so we''re nning to go there and see what''s going on. Did Mango''s


    father date another woman too apart from her mother?"


    "Nonsense! My eldest brother has only a wife in his life, so how can Mango have other siblings?


    That''s nonsense! Don''t listen to the person, Mango."


    Terrance''s face turned pale as he eximed.


    "But, both that person and Mango have done a DNA test. The results are very simr."


    Nathaniel dropped a bombshell again.


    Then, Terrance visibly nched after he heard Nathaniel''s remark.


    "I told you that you shouldn''t believe that! What are both of you nning to do? Do you want to


    have siblings? Who are you now? There are too many people waiting to harm you now! Anyway, it''s


    only a test report, so anyone can fake it easily. Are both of you in your right mind right now?"


    There was nothing wrong with Terrance''s exnation, but there was definitely something amiss


    about him.


    Well, perhaps Terrance was worried about them, but he was also trying to stop them from going to


    Ango. So, why was he doing this?


    After all, Magnolia''s motive was simple. She hoped that Mango and Nathaniel could help her to find


    Bettany. At least, this was what Magnolia told them.


    In fact, Magnolia should''vee to visit Terrance for the same reason. However, why did Terrance


    refuse to let Mango and Nathaniel go to Ango after Magnolia had visited him?


    Mango could not figure this out.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel knew that Terrance was worried about Mango as thetter''s hands


    were trembling.


    After all, Terrance couldn''t hide nor disguise hi real emotions.


    He was indeed worried about Mango.


    Therefore, Nathaniel guessed that perhaps Terrance knew someone that both he and Mango didn''t.


    Furthermore, This could also be the reason that Magnolia had faked her death for so many years.


    However, Terrance did not intend to tell him or Mango about Magnolia''s secret.


    Hence, Nathaniel''s gaze darkened when he suddenly understood something.


    Why did Magnolia fake her own death for so many years?


    Furthermore, what secret was Terrance desperately trying to hide from Mango?


    Nathaniel did not understand the situationpletely, but he wanted to find out the truth.


    At this moment, Mango suddenly picked up her teacup and looked at it. Then, she smiled,


    "Terrance, is your visitor a woman? Is she your blind date? Are you dating her now?"


    As she said this, she passed the teacup with a lipstick stain to Terrance, only to see that Terrance


    had turned pale from shock and fear.
