Chapter 1523


    Mango was worried when she saw the call from Carlson.


    "Is there any progress with the Grey family''s matter?"


    "That''s impossible! Carlson just left. Even if Brenson agrees, he won''t be able to receive news so


    soon. Moreover, he might be a little wary of this matter."


    Nathaniel didn''t exin the whole matter, but Mango could guess.


    There were not many people who knew how to create poisons, and Nathaniel and Maverick were


    from Longford County. This ce had always been a hindrance to the higher-ups.


    Nathaniel only clicked the answer button after Mango had stopped talking.


    Carlson''s voice could be heard.


    "They may not let you get involved with matters regarding the Grey family, so you should be


    mentally prepared. Nathaniel, in fact, I think it''s good if you don''t intervene."


    This was within Nathaniel and Mango''s expectations. However, Mango still felt a little


    ufortable.


    Walter and Deborah were her family members. Although the Grey family was involved in such a big


    matter, the higher- ups didn''t allow them to intervene. To be honest, Mango felt a little out of ce.


    However, after she experienced so much, she also knew that Nathaniel had to avoid arousing


    suspicion.


    Nathaniel also knew what Mango was thinking, so he couldn''t help but ask, "Who took over this


    matter?"


    "My father has already set up an operation group, and he has also begun to convene some capable


    people to handle it. Don''t worry. The Grey family''s sea routes are very important and my father will


    not let them fall into the hands of others. Whether it''s for public or private reasons, he will do his


    best to find out what happened to the Grey family. I am calling you because I am afraid that you will


    get into trouble."


    "No, I won''t."


    Nathaniel was no longer young and naive. After he went through so much, he knew clearly when he


    should take action or suppress his feelings.


    "Please help me apologize to Mango for this. However, Walter and the others will be fine. I will also


    send someone to join the operation team."


    Carlson was still thinking about Mango and he whispered, "Carmel is one of your men, right?"


    Mango and Nathaniel were stunned by his words.


    Carmel had secretly been sent to the military institute of Ango to join hands with Desmond. He


    was also afraid that something bad would happen to Desmond in the military institute, so he went


    there in advance. But Carmel disappeared after the ident happened.


    Nathaniel had been looking for information about her, but he didn''t expect to hear Carmel''s name


    from Carlson.


    His heart skipped a beat.


    "You ..."


    "Don''t get me wrong. I found Carmel near the Dark Forest. At that time, she was wounded all over


    and on the verge of death. My men managed to save her in the end. Although I don''t know what she


    had gone through, she has been sleeping all this time. She woke up recently and she is almost


    recovered. I know that you and Mango are worried about Walter. How about this, I will send Carmel


    and my men to join the operation team. When I get news, I will let her inform you as soon as


    possible."


    In fact, Carlson had vited the principle of confidentiality. However, he was Master Mo, the Crown


    Prince. It was understandable for him to give Carmel such an order and no one would me him as


    long as his father did not punish him.


    Although Mango still wanted to find Walter and the others, she also knew that Carlson''s


    arrangement was currently the best solution.


    She nodded to Nathaniel.


    Nathaniel then said, "Thank you."


    "You''re wee. We''re brothers after all. If I could, I really would like to live with you for a while."


    Nathaniel just smiled, but he did not say anything.


    Mango sighed and said after he hung up, "When are you going to go carry out the retirement


    procedure?"


    "I''ll do it tomorrow."


    Nathaniel was still hesitant before, but now he felt that there were too many things for him to handle


    and it would affect many people. Moreover, the Ye family had been developing too fast in recent


    years and they had an abundance of financial resources. They also had rtives with the Hans,


    Xiao, Song, and Grey families. It was no wonder that the higher authorities were afraid.


    In this case, it was better to get rid of his rtionship with them to focus on his wife and children.


    "Do you need me to apany you?"


    Mango was very in favor od his decision.


    Nathaniel shook his head.


    "No, I think the higher- ups are eager for my retirement. After all, they want to dismiss me, but they


    have no reason to do so."


    Nathaniel gave a wry smile.


    "You still have us..."


    Mango could not bear to see Nathaniel''s difort and gently hugged him.


    Nathaniel felt that his whole body and mind were at ease.


    "Yes, I still have you guys."


    They had a good night''s sleep.


    The next day, Nathaniel went to the military region and submitted an application for retirement.


    Unsurprisingly, no one stopped or asked him to stay this time, so he handled it quickly.


    All the procedures werepleted in less than two hours. Nathaniel was really dressed in white,


    and he could not help feeling much more rxed.


    "Mr. Ye, are you going to leave forever?"


    The military officer asked Nathaniel reluctantly and his eyes were a little red.


    Nathaniel looked at him and patted him on the shoulder while he said, "Wherever I am, you are still


    my soldier. If you need any help in the future,e to me at any time and I will help you without


    hesitation."


    "Mr. Ye, I can''t bear to part with you."


    Nathaniel felt bad when he looked at the soldier''s tearful eyes.


    However, when a person reached a certain stage, they had to make sacrifices to attain what they


    wanted.


    "Take care."


    After saying that, Nathaniel got up and left.


    Mango knew that Nathaniel had retired from the army today, so she had been busy since noon and


    she made a lot of dishes. Rita was a little confused.


    "Mommy, why did you cook so many dishes today? Are we celebrating something?"


    "Of course, your daddy will be free from now on. In the future, he can give you all his attention."

    Mango said excitedly. Regardless of whether the children understood her or not, she was happy in


    her heart.


    Zion understood. His eyes narrowed slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.


    Wisdom was naturally happy to see Rita happy. Then, he went with Rita to take care of their two


    brothers.


    Nathaniel had just returned home when he saw Mango busy in the kitchen. He couldn''t help but


    take off his jacket and walk over with his sleeves rolled up. He also wrapped his arms around


    Mango''s waist from behind. His unique scent drifted around Mango and gave her a sense of safety.


    "You''re back? Wash your hands. We''ll have dinner in a bit."


    Mango turned around and smiled. Her gaze was bright, which made Nathaniel''s heart rate


    elerate.


    He suddenly lowered his head and bit Mango''s red lips. He had originally nned to just have a


    taste, but he had tried to suppress his urges for the past few days. Coupled with Mango''s soft skin


    that carried a hint of fragrance, he couldn''t help but feel reluctant to end the kiss. The temperature


    of the kitchen seemed to have risen suddenly.


    Rita was a little hungry. She had originally nned oning over to ask Mango when they could


    eat, but she ended up seeing such an inappropriate scene. She frowned slightly before shaking her


    head and leaving while she muttered to herself, "Seriously, you''re tormenting me every day. I''ll find


    a boyfriend tomorrow and show you guys. Hmph! You guys are making it seem like you''re the only


    couple around."


    \Rita went back to the baby room after she said that, and she felt much better when she saw her


    cute little brothers.


    As expected, her younger brothers were the cutest.


    Mango did not know that Rita had seen everything. She was in disarray after she was teased by


    Nathaniel and her breathing was a mess.


    She quickly pushed Nathaniel away, but she did not dare to look into his eyes. She said in a hoarse


    voice, "The children are all here during the day. You should restrain yourself."


    Nathaniel paused a little and said with a smile, "Do you mean we can do it at night? Then I''ll look for


    you at night."


    After that, he consciously took the food out.


    Mango was a little amused.


    Nathaniel looked so anxious as if she was very harsh on him. However, he didn''t know that she


    wanted him badly as well.


    Mango''s face flushed red when she realized her thoughts. Then, she quickly continued cooking to


    conceal her embarrassment.


    Nathaniel looked at all the dishes he loved on the table and he could not help but feel warm.


    Wisdom came out to drink water and saw that Nathaniel had already prepared the food. He quickly


    said, "Zion, Rita, time to eat."


    "Alright."


    The two of them then left the babies to the midwife before they went downstairs.


    Zion was still afraid that Nathaniel would feel ufortable. BHe had been observing Nathaniel all


    this while, but he noticed that Nathaniel was smiling today as though he was in a good mood.


    Sure enough, Nathaniel was rxed now.


    Zion''s heart finally settled down and he began to eat.


    This meal was filled with endlessughter and it made Mango''s heart feel much more at ease. She


    really hoped that their family would be so peaceful from now on.


    Brantley came after their meal. Louis and Lucas now had the same surname with him, so they were


    just like his own great-grandsons and they were particrly fond of him.


    Mango felt that Brantley was having a hard time travelling, so she simply said, "Grandpa, you can


    stay here. It''s not like we don''t have empty rooms here. Your body can''t take it if you travel back and


    forth every day."


    "I''m fine. It''s just exercise."


    Brantley said indifferently.


    Mango continued, "If you stay here, you can y with the babies at night."


    "That''s right."


    Brantley was persuaded and he immediately decided to stay.


    Magnolia''s rtionship with Barack had been good recently, but she missed Brantley a little. Hence,


    she sent someone to inform them that she would visit Brantley tomorrow, which made him very


    happy.


    Mango began preparing for tomorrow''s meal. She thought to herself that if her mother and Magnolia


    were here as well, her grandfather would be even happier.


    As Mango thought of this, she gave Queena a call and inquired about Queena''s condition. After she


    learned that Queena was in good condition, she felt relieved.


    Dennis also said a few words to Mango, but he was still as solemn and calm as usual.


    Magnolia arrived early in the morning together with Barack, which made Brantley overjoyed.


    Nathaniel was afraid that Mango was tired, so he left everything to the helpers. Mango saw Queena


    jumping into Brantley''s arms and crying so hard that she could not even utter a word.


    They finally reunited after being separated for half of their lives. They felt as though the hardships


    they had endured had finallye to an end.


    They were all in a good mood while they ate at the Ye''s Mansion. Although they did not interfere in


    the affairs of the Grey family, Mango never gave up looking for Walter. However, the phone number


    seemed to have been abandoned and he never called her again.
