The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 224

Mango was already in a bad mood, but it became worst when Andrea provoked her further.

"Andrea, there are so many men in the world. Why do you have to compete with me?"

"It’s because Nathaniel is a good man! Don't you know that you have to fight for good things? What? Or who do you think you are to feel that Nathaniel should be good for you by nature?"

Andrea's words made Mango unable to refute back.

That's right!

What right did she have?

Was it only because of Nathaniel's feelings for her?

Did she think that Nathaniel would be able to forgive and tolerate her no matter what she did?

But what caused her to be so confident and take Nathaniel for granted?

Then, Mango seemed to have realized something and she wanted to explain herself to Nathaniel. She was indeed grateful to Abyss, but it was not the way he thought.

Next, Mango turned away and she wanted to leave, but Andrea stopped her.

"Get out of my way!"

"I’ll get of your way only if you give up Nathaniel to me!" Andrea cackled evilly. Although it was dreadful, Mango was not afraid of her.

"Nathaniel is not an object and he's not mine to give. If you can make him fall in love with you, then you can have him."

"Well, aren't you confident? Do you think Nathaniel won’t like me just because I'm disfigured? Tell you what, I'll regain my delicate face again even without Master Yan's help. I know you don’t believe me, but we’ll see what happens!"

However, Andrea's provocation did not affect Mango in the slightest.

In fact, she was very clear about Nathaniel’s personality. When Nathaniel fell in love with someone, he would stay in love with them until his dying breath. Even though Mango had angered and disappointed him, it was not enough to cause Nathaniel to leave Mango.

Hence, Mango did not take heed of Andrea's shouting.

After that, Mango quickly left the scene. Then, she realized that Nathaniel had left when she went to look for him.

Thomas looked as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

"If you’ve got something to say, just spit it out."

Mango started the conversation first when she laid eyes on Thomas’s unsettled expression.

Next, Thomas scratched the nape of his neck in embarrassment before he asked, "Mrs. Ye, are you having a quarrel with Mr. Ye?" "Was it that obvious?"

Thomas’ observation amused and saddened Mango at the same time.

If even Thomas could see it, then the whole world would be able to tell Nathaniel was anger.

However, Thomas shook his head to reassure Mango and he said, "It wasn't obvious, but I could sense it. Mr. Ye had asked me previously to contact a jeweler to design a wedding ring for you, but

today the jeweler was busy. So, they had me to ask Mr. Ye if he would like to reschedule, but he just waved it off.”

This sentence stunned Mango.

"A ring? Nathaniel had you contact a jeweler to design a wedding ring?"

"Yeah, didn't he tell you? Mr. Ye told me all about your size and his size. Furthermore, he told me that he wanted to hold a grand wedding for you to tell the world that you're his wife."

After she listened to Thomas' words, Mango's heart became increasingly uneasy.

In fact, Nathaniel sincerely wanted to marry her and he wanted to legitimize Mango. Furthermore, he had planned to keep the wedding a surprise, but Mango had repaid him with blatant accusations.

It only took Yetta’s disappearance and Abyss' words to make Mango doubt Nathaniel’s integrity.

What on earth was wrong with her?

Was it true when Nathaniel said that Abyss still had a place in her heart? That she was affected by Abyss' words?

Mango felt that she was really a jerk.

How could she do this?

Even if other people didn’t know why Nathaniel worked to defeat Abyss, but she knew full well the reason he had to do so.

Furthermore, Nathaniel had a hellish time trying to find her when Abyss had imprisoned her. Then when he had finally rescued Mango, her devastation and mental trauma tortured Nathaniel as well.

Nathaniel loved her and he cherished her as if she was a treasure. Hence, how could he be calm when he saw her being mistreated by Abyss?

Moreover, Rita was his beloved daughter. Unfortunately, she had been injected with morphine for the sake of Abyss’ love for Mango, and that caused her body to take a turn for the worse. As a father, was he not justified in attacking Abyss?

Whether it was her or Rita, Nathaniel cared about them very much. As a wife, it was disrespectful to her husband as she did not speak up when Nathaniel plotted against Abyss. Moreover, it was irresponsible of her as Rita's mother.

However, she kept holding on to the kindness that Abyss had shown her by saving her life five years ago.

Could it be that the things Abyss had done later on were not equal to saving her life?

What was she still hesitant about?

Hence, Mango felt like she might really be sick. Or worse, did she have more than just a debt of gratitude towards Abyss?

Clearly, Mango was confused by her own feelings as well.

Meanwhile, Thomas became anxious as he saw Mango was standing there in a dazed state.

"Madam, are you all right? Don’t worry, Mr. Ye's anger is temporary and he’ll be back eventually. You know how difficult Mr. Ye can be sometimes, so there’s no need to stoop to his level."

As Thomas spoke, Mango felt quite unworthy to be Nathaniel’s wife.

What did Thomas mean by not stooping to Nathaniel’s level?

In fact, it was more like Nathaniel was coddling her and he did not stoop to her level instead.

Thus, she was unsure whether her earlier words had hurt Nathaniel.

Clearly, Mango was very annoyed at the moment.

"Do you know where he went?"

"No, but Mrs. Ye, you’d better not leave the hospital. It’s a mess out there, and Mr. Ye had just declared war on the Tang family. So, leaving is not a good idea."

Thomas' words were vague, but Mango understood his meaning anyway.

Yeah, why did Abyss want her to leave the hospital alone?

Obviously, Abyss knew that Nathaniel was protecting her, but he still hoped that she would go and meet him. Hence, Abyss' motives were as clear Although she did not want to think ill of Abyss, Mango knew that he was not the man she once knew.

Besides, there must be someone spying on her in the hospital.

But who would be the person?

Did that have anything to do with Abyss?

In the past, Mango had never thought about Abyss but now she recalled the memory of her phone conversation with him.

Looking back, Abyss was not surprised at all that she called him. Moreover, Mango remembered that Abyss had a habit of not picking up stranger's numbers, but she had dialed Abyss' personal number with a new phone.

So, it meant that Abyss recognized this number.

But how did he find out about it?

Nathaniel was fully capable of hiding a person's number, but Abyss had discovered it despite that. So, what was really going on here?

Mango's heart was a little heavy.

"I'll head back first. Do remember to let me know if Nathaniel comes back."

"Noted, madam."

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mango did not insist on going out.

Although Nathaniel had left very angrily, Thomas knew that he was still worried about Mango. Soon after that, Mango went back to her room and she found her old phone.

It lay disassembled on her bed and so far, no one had touched it.

Mango sat on the edge of the bed as she reassembled her phone.

Honestly, she did not believe that Yetta had anything to do with her parents' disappearance, but why did Yetta run away?

Nathaniel was not evil despite Yetta’ s misunderstanding of him five years ago. However, Yetta was very furious with Nathaniel back then and she swore to teach Nathaniel a lesson no matter what.

However, now Yetta had fled.

Furthermore, she had fled when Nathaniel searched for her!

Truly, what sort of logic was that?

Moreover, Yetta never knew Mango's parents' phone number. Why would she have called them and what was the purpose of the call?

Was Yetta really involved with the disappearance of her parents?

Mango's mind was a discombobulated mess.

Although Nathaniel was angry, there was no way he would lie to Mango.

The only reason Mango treated Nathaniel like that earlier was that her judgment was clouded. Now that she thought about it, she felt extremely regretful. Mango recalled Nathaniel's words. If what he said was true, then what role did Yetta play in her parents' disappearance?

Why would Yetta do that anyway?

Mango could not figure it out. Hence, she really hoped for some news of Yetta right now. Perhaps if she found Yetta, then the truth would be revealed and she would be able to find her parents.

At the thought of her parents, Mango was anxious, but unfortunately there was nothing she could do.

Next, she turned on the TV as she wanted to use it as a distraction. However, she was stunned by the news on the television. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Not long ago, she found out that Nathaniel had declared war on Abyss and that had caused significant turmoil in the business world. Earlier on, Abyss had borrowed money from a venture capital firm to buy that piece of land in the southern suburbs. He had raised some funds, but looking at it now, the Tang family stood to lose a lot if they challenged the Ye family in court.

However as today's news revealed, the venture capital firm that Abyss borrowed money from actually belonged to Nathaniel!

As the head of the venture capital company, Nathaniel had withdrawn his investment in Tang's Group. Thus, he instantly sowed discord in the business world of the United States.

The Tang family was an old family with deep roots in the United States. On the other hand, Nathaniel had come single-handedly from the Ocean City and no-one looked favorably on him. However, it was clear that he had the upper hand in this battle.

As she watched Nathaniel's indifferent expression on the television, she knew that he had been spurred on by her earlier words. Hence, he had started taking action against Abyss.

Was it a coincidence?

Did she feel distressed?

Did she feel sorry for Abyss?

In the end, Mango had none of those feelings and she even felt a serene calm.

Obviously, Nathaniel and the children were the most important things to her. With that realization, the previous conflict in her heart was finally resolved.

Indeed, Abyss did save her five years ago. However, wasn’t what he did to Mango and Rita five years later was more than enough to demolish his initial kindness?

Mango looked at Abyss' devastated expression and she realized that it was the first time that she had seen him so defeated.

It had to be said that Nathaniel was a master strategist. Furthermore, this man was her husband!

All of a sudden, Mango felt a burgeoning sense of pride.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Nathaniel was very dashing.

He was handsome regardless of when he was angry or indifferent. Furthermore, he looked charming even as he looked despicably at Abyss.

Thus, Mango felt that her love for Nathaniel had rooted itself deep into every crevice of her heart. Truly, was it even possible for her not to love him?

She could not wait to call Nathaniel to tell him that Abyss did not matter to her. Instead, Nathaniel was the most important person in her heart.

However, her phone suddenly rang as Mango took it out. The sight of the familiar number on the phone stunned her and Mango started to become unsettled.
