When the plane landed in Ocean City, Mateo was already waiting with Terrance by his side.
Terrance was aware of everything because of his relationship with Mango. Therefore, when Tristan suddenly changed his time of arrival to dispose of Bernard first, Mateo had also told Terrance everything.
Now, only Barack and Magnolia had not returned yet.
The affairs in Angolla had not concluded, so it wasn't appropriate for them to show themselves as it would lead to more troubles.
"The plane has landed. Is that Tristan?"
Terrance was a little excited as he asked.
Mateo nodded and walked over quickly.
"Tristan, welcome home!"
He gave Tristan a big hug while greeting the latter.
On the other hand, Tristan saw Mateo as a very amiable person. After all, Mateo had almost become his father these years, and his uncle had given him a lot of guidance as well. In fact, he could achieve so much because of Mateo as well.
"Uncle, I'm back!"
Priscilla was slightly stunned when she saw the bright smile on Tristan's face.
She didn't know that he could smile so sincerely!
Well, he was pretty good looking when he was smiling.
When Mateo saw this, he could finally relax.
"You brat! Urgh! You scared me to death. When you told me you needed to take care of something, I didn't expect it to be something of this calibre and danger. How should I face your father if anything had happened to you?"
Mateo chided anxiously while punching Tristan's shoulder playfully.
"I'm back now, right? I won't leave this time."
"That's good. I'm glad that you're not leaving!"
Mateo started tearing up when he said this.
Then, Terrance pushed his wheelchair over.
"Tristan, I'm once your uncles, and I'm Mateo's younger brother. Welcome home."
After all, Tristan was aware of how Terrance's legs became crippled, and he knew that none of the Hans family members was cowards. At that moment, Tristan was glad that he was part of the Hans family.
"Uncle, please take care of me in the future." Tristan hugged Terrance as he said this, and his eyes were a little teary.
The members of Hans family that were in the same generation as Mateo were either dead or had suffered deadly injuries. Hence, they couldn't allow any of their family members to fall into danger anymore.
"You brat!"
Terrance was not much older than Tristan, but he had mixed feelings now.
"Have you seen your father?"
"Not yet. When the matter in Angolla is over, I will personally bring my father home."
That was Tristan's promise.
"Good! That's great!"
Terrance was happy, but he didn't know what else to say.
After all, Tristan pulled Priscilla, who was standing idly at the side, over and said with a smile, "Uncles, this is my wife, Prissy Fang. Please also take care of her in the future."
On the other hand, Priscilla was suddenly pulled to the front of Mateo and Terrance, and she couldn't help but felt a little nervous.
"No, I'm not his wife!" "What? Who says you're not my wife? Is it because we haven't registered our marriage. We'll go there soon."
Tristan said michievously.
Somehow, Priscilla managed to restrain herself from punching him after hearing what he had said.
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Mateo and Uncle Terrance."
"Nice to meet you too. Let's go home now."
Mateo was really happy today.
Not only was his nephew back, but he had also brought his wife! That was an important matter for the Hans family.
However, Tristan smiled and said, "Nah, we're in no rush. We will go and get our marriage license first."
"Have you submitted your marriage application?"
Mateo asked as he knew about the marriage procedures.
"I've already obtained the approval. It's here in my pocket."
The two bachelors were a little envious when they saw how excited Tristan looked.
"I won't go."
Priscilla whispered in protest.
"Huh? What did you say?"
Tristan's expression suddenly darkened as he said these words, so Priscilla was scared.
Thus, she couldn't help but shudder, and she didn't dare to refuse anymore.
Meanwhile, Terrance and Mateo looked at both of them curiously. However, they said softly, "Mango is still injured. After you have settled your affairs, go home and visit Mango and the others."
"All right."
Tristan then smiled again after hearing what they had said.
Just like that, Tristan brought Priscilla to the city hall. After a short while, she became a married woman.
She looked at the marriage license and frowned, while the man next to her looked overjoyed.
After that, Priscilla was about to put the marriage license away when Tristan snatched it away from her.
"From today on, I will keep our marriage licenses!"
"What? Who gave you the right to do that?"
"I can do so because I'm your husband."
Tristan said these words confidently.
On the other hand, Priscilla was so depressed that she didn't feel happy about getting married at all. On the contrary, she felt wronged.
"Tristan, I don't want to marry you."
"It's too late now."
"We can still get a divorce."
"Hah! I dare you to say that again."
Finally, Priscilla felt that she had found someone that she could rely on.
Fortunately, Mango was here with her.
Then, Priscilla casually sat on the sofa. Meanwhile, Mango got someone to brew a pot of tea for her before sitting down in front of Priscilla.
"Hey! Why are you making my brother sound like a kidnapper? He just treats you differently from others."
"Hah! You need to stop flattering your brother!"
Priscilla felt a little wronged and complained in a low voice, "How can a man like him exist? He didn't even get my consent before bringing me onto the plane! After disembarking, he took me straight to the city hall to register our marriage. Then, he wouldn't even let me look at or keep the marriage license. Urgh! Who does he think he is?"
Mango was stunned when she heard what Priscilla had said.
"What? Did you just get married to my brother?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Priscilla looked like she had given up all hope when she said these words. Mango, however, choked on the tea.
"No way! Does that mean you are now my sister-in-law?"
"Nah, our identities don't matter that much. I don't care about the title of Mrs. Acker anyway."
Priscilla pouted and said in a pitiful manner.
However, Mango hurriedly said, "No, we can't do that! I should still think of you as Mrs. Acker. After all, It's not easy for my brother to get married. If his wife ends up running away because of me, he won't ever forgive me!"
Priscilla's face immediately turned red when she heard what Mango had said.
"Urgh! You're also making fun of me."
"Nah, I'm only telling the truth. However, your relationship with him progressed really quickly. Haven't you only met each other recently?"
Mango didn't know their story, so she thought they had met for the first time at the state banquet. How did they end up getting married now?
Then, Priscilla hesitated for a moment before saying, "Um... actually, we've known each other for many years. It's just that, I think that I forgot about him."
"What? How is that possible?"
Mango was a little surprised when she heard Priscilla's reply.
Then, Priscilla went ahead and told Mango about the whole story.
After all, Mango shook her head and said, "I can't believe it! Your love story seems to have come out from a movie! However, my brother is a responsible man. If he doesn't like you, he wouldn't have married you. In fact, I'm great that you married him. After all, you shouldn't get involved in the turmoil in Angolla. Also, you have me and Nathan here in Ocean City. After this, I'll introduce you to other good friends too. I promise you that you won't be lonely here!"
Priscilla nodded her head when she heard this.
Then, she turned around but did not see Nathaniel, so she could not help asking.
"Where is Mr. Ye? I heard that he was seriously injured. How is he now?"
Mango paused for a moment after hearing Priscilla's questions. She then said indifferently, "He's fine now, but he needs to rest and recuperate. He should still be resting, but if you want to see him, he is in the first room on the left of the second floor."
"Won't you go in with me? Mango, are you so sure that I won't do anything? After all, I'm someone who coveted your husband."
Priscilla was joking around as she said this.
However, Mango said indifferently, "You're already my sister-in-law, so what else do I have to worry about? Even if you have such evil intentions, I don't think that you will dare to do so because of my brother. Go ahead. Meanwhile,I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some good food for you. Stay here for lunch, alright?"
After saying that, Mango stood up and went to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Priscilla shook her head. When she looked up, she saw Nathaniel in a wheelchair waiting at the top of the second-floor stairs. She didn't know when he had come out of the room, but his face was gloomy.
