Chapter 1229


    "Have you gotten some news?"


    Mango was somewhat agitated.


    Brantley was afflicted by the incident for his entire life. If he still wasn''t able to find the killer, he


    might not be able to face histe grandmother.


    Noah nodded and said, "Yes, there''s news regarding it. Rumors said that it was done by a vagrant.


    As for whether the vagrant is the criminal himself, we need further rification."


    Mango''s brows slightly furrowed.


    A vagrant?


    Why would the wanderer get involved in the incident if he had no grudge with Brantley? It was


    merely a camouge. Since there was a piece of news, was it close to the truth they wanted?


    Mango could not conceal her excitement.


    Noah also rejoiced.


    That incident had created a huge sensation in the past. Moreover, Brantley was the person he


    admired the most after all. He certainly wanted to do something for him.


    How sad it would be if a true hero who served his country could not get thefort from the family


    member he deserved.


    "I will further intensify the tracking. Do rest assure here, Mango. I sincerely hope that you can take


    good care of Nathaniel."


    "Of course. He''s my husband."


    Mango had consistently worn a faint smile on her face.


    Only then did Noah realize that his previous perception toward Mango was biased.


    He was looking at the matter from Nathaniel''s perspective. He tried to recall what had Mango given


    up for Nathaniel?


    He doubted that she had given up much more than Nathaniel.


    "I''m sorry, Mango."


    Noah''s sincere apology had abstracted Mango.


    "Why do you apologize to me for no reason?"

    Noah simply put on a smile but there was a sign of relief and understanding in his smile.


    "It''s nothing. Just assume that I''ve lost my mind."


    Then, Noah lifted his foot and walked toward Michael''s ward.


    Mango could not understand what Noah was trying to tell her but she could sense his kindness. She


    smiled subconsciously and returned to Baxter


    Alliance.


    Nathaniel kept himself calm soon after Mango left. When he came out again, Mango was nowhere


    to be seen. He immediately panicked.


    Was Mango annoyed due to his bad attitude?


    Where had she been?


    Had she left him?


    Nathaniel quickly began to search around for Mango.


    "Have you seen your sister-inw?"


    Nathaniel''s eyes turned crimson. His hostility instantly made people shudder.


    "Mango has went to visit Michael in the hospital."


    One of his subordinates said with fear.


    Nathaniel furrowed his brows tightly and was about to leave the spot in a hurry. Only then did he


    catch sight of Mango getting out of the car and walking toward him.


    "Where have you been?"


    Nathaniel hurriedly stepped forward. There was a trace of grievance in his scarlet eyes which


    stunned Mango for a moment.


    "What''s wrong with you?"


    "Don''t leave me alone and slunk away without a notice anymore."


    Nathaniel frowned as he spoke. Then, he pulled Mango into his embrace despite being watched by


    his men. Only then did he feel that all his violent and manic emotions had instantly stabilized. The


    anxiety deep in his heart had gradually dissipated as well.


    Mango gently patted Nathaniel''s back.


    He seemed to be particrly insecure and he was getting easily irritated ever since the Golden


    Lancehead Venom had infested on him. She didn''t know if that was a good phenomenon. She could


    tell that Nathaniel had clung to her even more.


    "Haven''t I returned right after I''ve visited Michael in the hospital?"


    "Yeah."


    Nathaniel answered softly. He smelled her hair and whispered, "I''m hungry now. Nobody


    apanies me to eat except you."


    Mango almost burst intoughter.


    It was indeed a botched excuse one would say.


    "Okay, I''m starving too. Let''s have something together."


    "Alright then."


    Nathaniel said grudgingly, but he started to smile.


    He nced at Mango from his peripheral vision and noticed that she seemed to be smiling too.


    Only then did he ask, "What took you so long?"


    "I thought you may need a long period to calm down yourself."


    Mango raised her brows.


    Nathaniel quickly said, "I didn''t mean to ignore you. I was suddenly..."


    "I understand. Regardless of what the presence of Augustus meant to you, Maverick may be the


    person you wouldn''t want to get in touch with the most. However, aren''t you going to face the


    situation as the man has not only hurt your buddy, but he was also trying to steal your subordinate?"


    Mango understood that Nathaniel had actually excluded those who were his kinship. After all, those


    people did not give him a good impression. They even had their motives and wanted something


    from him. Thus, he had shown repulsion once he heard that Maverick was very likely to be


    Augustus''s son.


    Nathaniel tightly frowned and a trace of coldness shed across his eyes.


    "Why should I be kind to those kinships when they didn''t show me any kindness? If Maverick is


    Augustus''s son, I won''t tolerate him if he wants to grab something from me. I''ve asked someone to


    investigate Michael''s affair, and it''s reckoned there will be news revert back soon. Aren''t you


    hungry?


    Let''s have some food."


    Nathaniel''s tone sounded rather brisk.


    Nothing else mattered as long as Mango was by his side.


    Without kinship, he would not save those who hadmitted a sin, and those who had hurt him


    would not be forgiven!


    Ever since he was born to the present time, he could still recall what had those kinship done to him.


    Little did Mango know that Nathaniel''s heart had already undergone a dramatic change. Upon


    hearing that Maverick would be Augustus''s son, he was feeling irritated not because he struggled


    with the fact that the person might be his brother, but he was unable to control the sudden


    murderous intent that surged from his heart. He was afraid of hurting Mango, thus he hid inside his


    room.


    It was indeed a very dangerous situation.


    He knew it himself.


    He was extremely insecure at the moment. He was afraid that he might identally hurt Mango


    when he did not have a clear mind and was unable to control his manic deep in his heart.


    However, he did not want to let go of Mango either.


    Mango was the only person he wished to cherish and provide her protection even if he had to


    sacrifice his life. That was the reason why he panicked and felt uneasy.


    Nathaniel held Mango''s hand tightly and whispered, "Don''t simply leave me alone in the future."


    Facing his domineering attitude, Mango could feel his worries and anxiety. For some reason, she


    felt distressed.


    "Sure thing. I''ll tell you wherever I go in the future, okay?"


    "Alright."


    Nathaniel nodded.


    When both of them went to the dining room, someone had already prepared their dishes. Mango sat


    down with Nathaniel and had some food. Nathaniel said, "Have a bite on this, it''s good."


    "This seems good too. I bet you''ll love it."


    "Here you go, this is a specialty here. You won''t be able to eat it elsewhere."


    As Nathaniel spoke, he picked the food for Mango. Not long after, Mango''s bowl was filled to the


    brim.


    Mango was slightly speechless.


    Didn''t he mention he was hungry just now?


    "I''m full and I can''t finish them."


    There was a hint of coquetry in Mango''s voice.


    However, Nathaniel replied with a smile, "It''s okay. I''ll finish it if you can''t."


    Upon hearing these words, Mango''s face immediately blushed hot.


    Geez. That man.


    She shook her head and lowered her head to gobble the food.


    Nathaniel was holding his chin with a hand while his lip then curled up subconsciously upon looking


    at the way Mango eat.


    His woman was indeed pleasant looking that she looked even pretty during her meal.


    Nathaniel thought to himself.


    During that period, there was nobody dare to enter the room and disturb Nathaniel and Mango''s


    time that they spent together.


    When Mango went missing previously, the killing intent in Nathaniel''s eyes was still vivid in


    everyone''s memories. Everybody had known that Mango was the only one who managed to


    suppress Nathaniel''s terrifying aura. They certainly respected and pampered her.


    Mango was too full to finish up her food. She looked at her bowl with a worried expression, but a


    pair of slender hands took it away.


    She tilted her head and saw Nathaniel eating her leftover food. She was slightly anxious and rushed


    over to grab it from him for a moment.


    "There''re still some dishes left. Why are you eating my leftovers? Put it down quickly."


    Nathaniel finished them quickly instead and said with a smile, "It tastes good."


    His brilliant smile instantly made Mango burst into tears.


    Since when did the golden boy be so menial in front of her?


    "Nathaniel, don''t you still have to maintain your own image?"


    Mango was a bit choked up as she spoke.


    Nathaniel said indifferently instead, "It''s unnecessary to care about these things as long as we''re


    being happy together."


    Soon after he finished his words, he held Mango''s hand and said, "Let''s go out for a stroll."


    Mango did not utter a word but she just agreed with him.


    They went to the backyard.


    There were no flowers and not even a fish, except for rockeries and an artificial pond.


    Mango said with a sigh, "How did Michael spend his life over these years? Look at the backyard


    here. There are no flowers, and even the pond is crystal clear. It looks like he doesn''t manage this


    ce at all."


    "Valentina''s death has taken away his courage to stay alive. It''s been hard for him. Do you still


    expect him to live a happy life now? The environment here reflects his heart which is empty and


    lifeless."


    Mango''s heart somewhat sank.


    She held Nathaniel''s hand and said, "Don''t live like this regardless of what happens to me in the


    future, okay?"


    It was also Mango''s worry.


    Nathaniel looked at her and saw a trace of worry in her eyes. He couldn''t help nodding and said,


    "Okay, got it."


    In fact, he muttered to himself, "What''s the point of me living in this world without you? Michael lives


    like a zombie to repay my kindness while I didn''t owe anyone. I''ll definitely not continue to stay alive


    if a contingency happens on Mango!"


    However, Nathaniel said nothing and didn''t dare to mention it. He was afraid that Mango would cry


    over his words.


    He would rather not to utter those useless words.


    Mango felt that Nathaniel gave his answer too easily, so she nced at him.


    "You have to swear that if I''ve encounter misfortune one day, you have to live well on behalf of me."


    Nathaniel abruptly trembled, and he suddenly replied with an evil smile, "You want to leave me


    behind and make me suffer alone in this world? Huh? How can you be so cruel to me?"


    As he spoke, Nathaniel reached out toward Mango.
