"Just as Mango was about to answer the phone, Nathaniel quickly beat her to it. "
I'll get it.
"Right now, Mango felt as if she was a precious china doll, and Nathaniel's anxious expression made her feel loved. At the same time, she found it rather funny as well. "
"It's just a phone call. I'm not some cripple, what, are you afraid that the phone will swallow me whole?"
I'm afraid that the phone might electrocute you.
"Recently, Nathaniel had been cracking jokes with Mango more often. "
Ha!
"Ultimately, Mango couldn't be bothered to argue with him as she curled up into the sofa. Honestly, Nathaniel treated her like some kind of cripple these days. "
"Meanwhile, her two children were still engrossed in their mystery task with Mango's parents and she hadn't seen them all day. "
"After Nathaniel picked up the phone, he only murmured a few words of assent before he hung up."
