Desmond drove the car aimlessly on the road, and his mind was in a mess.
In fact, he had been wanting to find Mango all these years, but he couldn't go. Now she was here, but because Anton lost her whereabouts and news again, Desmond felt depressed.
Suddenly, he found something on a wall and quickly drove the car over. Only then did he see that it was the signal of the Dark Night Empire.
Was someone from the Dark Night Empire here?
Desmond suddenly became excited.
Later, he thought about it. "No, this should be the signal left by Mango!"
Desmond got excited again.
He followed the signal to find a very ordinary residential area, and then stopped at the gate of a unit building.
This was a very ordinary home building, which was in the form of a small apartment.
Desmond parked the car, and then walked according to the signal to the third unit.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and reached out his hand to gently knock on the door.
When Mango opened the door, Desmond was stunned.
A dozen or twenty years had passed, but Mango's appearance did not seem to have changed much. She was still so beautiful, and there was already some white hair on his temples.
"Madam!"
Desmond's throat was a little excited, and his eyes were a little red.
Mango was slightly stunned. She had never imagined that the person would be Desmond.
She was careless!
She had originally wanted Merle to come over.
But since he was here, she was too embarrassed to drive him out.
"Just yourself? Where's your wife?"
Mango asked casually before opening the door. She was the first to turn around and walk in.
Desmond quickly entered the room, took off his shoes, and put them aside. Then, he looked outside cautiously before closing the door.
Even though he was old, he still respected Mango from the bottom of his heart.
"Anton is still a child. It's my fault to ask you to come to see me instead. Don't be mad."
"It's nothing. Why should I be angry with a child? Besides, Anton is very good."
Mango casually made Desmond a pot of tea.
"Have a seat."
"Alas."
Desmond sat on the opposite side of Mango in a somewhat reserved manner.
Mango noticed that Desmond had changed.
He seemed to see that she was very excited, but there was a trace of guilt in his eyes, which made her a little confused.
What was there to feel guilty about?
Because of what happened?
That really wasn't the case.
If her guess was correct, Desmond and Haniya's seclusion in the past might have been a trap set up by the higher-ups, in order to let them or their son enter Fang Group and become their technological staff, to master the latest genetic technology.
To a soldier, this was an order, as well as a mission!
She had thought of any kind of situation when she saw Desmond, except for the sudden and helpless person who came this time.
"No, what's wrong with you? Don't cry! If Haniya saw you and thought I was bullying you. What happened?"
Mango didn't know whether to comfort him or not.
Neither of them was young anymore.
In the past, they were close buddies and comrades-in-arms. It was not a big deal for her to comfort him and pat him on the shoulder. But now that their children were getting married, it would be inappropriate for her to do this again.
However, Mango really didn't want Desmond to feel bad.
"If you do this again, I'll call Haniya."
Mango could only use this trump card.
"Don't! Don't give her a call!"
When Desmond heard that she was going to call Haniya, he immediately stopped her, but his mood was also controlled. He quickly wiped his tears and said with some embarrassment, "Sorry about that."
"You scared me to death!"
Mango couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She felt much better and it made Desmond chuckle a little.
"Well, I think you've been crazy these years, haven't you? You're crying and laughing. Even if your son sees you, he might feel ashamed. How old are you? Why didn't I notice your crying hobby before? Does Haniya know that?"
After hearing Mango's words, Desmond finally relaxed a little.
He looked at Mango and suddenly knelt down, which startled Mango again.
"No, Desmond, you're here to scare me into having a heart attack, aren't you? Get up quickly! What are you doing!"
Mango was about to help Desmond up, but he dodged her.
"Madam, just let me kneel. I feel more comfortable kneeling in my heart. Otherwise, I'm too ashamed to see you. Or I'll give you a knife or you can kill me. I haven't had a good sleep in the past few years. I haven't had a good meal. If I don't see you again, I'm afraid I'll go crazy!"
