The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 328

"Get out of my way! Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me!"

The arrogant, domineering voice caused Mango to frown slightly and it made Nathaniel unhappy as well.

"I'll get someone to deal with it."

As he spoke, Nathaniel stood up to leave but Mango suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Don't go, it's Andrea."

"Who?"

Nathaniel felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't seem to place it.

Mango replied in a low voice when she saw Nathaniel's confused expression. "Andrea is Minster Xiao's other daughter."

Nathaniel finally had a vague idea of her, and a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes.

"Isn't she in the United States?"

"Since we're all back in Ocean City, it would be strange if she didn't come back. I think she's here for Minister Xiao."

Mango was visibly affected by Andrea's presence as she referred to Queena as Minister Xiao again.

Nathaniel still remembered Andrea's determination to pursue him, but he didn't know if Dylan had come along with her.

Right now, Mango really needed to rest and who knew what kind of trouble Andrea would cause if she showed up in front of Mango.

Although no one dared to openly provoke Mango in Ocean City, there may be people with malicious intentions who lurked in the shadows. Hence, Nathaniel was quite worried about that.

"I'll give Dylan a call."

At that, Mango nodded her head.

Then, Nathaniel picked up his phone and went to the window before he called Dylan.

"Hey, where are you?"

"Ocean City."

Dylan's voice sounded frustrated.

Then, Nathaniel laughed rather coldly and said, "Can't you handle her?"

Dylan was absolutely embarrassed at Nathaniel's obvious provocation, but he sighed when he thought of Andrea. "No, I really can't."

"Ugh, you're such a coward. As long as you don't bother me or my wife, you two can do whatever you want. I'm not going to bring up what happened in the United States, but I won't be so forgiving to her again if she insists on coming after me."

After saying that, Nathaniel hung up the phone.

As Dylan listened to the dial tone on the phone, he rubbed his temples in frustration as he looked at Andrea screaming in front of him.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel whispered to Mango, "Why don't we go somewhere else to rest?"

"Sounds good! We're bound to run into trouble here, and I wouldn't know how to explain the situation if I ran into Madam Hans. But, I don't really know where we should go.'¹

Mango immediately agreed to Nathaniel's suggestion.

To be honest, Mango didn't like the smell of hospitals at all. Before this, she'd stayed in the hospital for half a year and Rita had been living in a hospital for five years. Frankly, that was enough to traumatise her.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was glad to see that Mango had agreed to his proposal so easily.

"I'll handle it, but you still have to stay here for a few more days under observation. Well go once the doctor gives his approval."

"Okay, but you'd better not head out now, in case you bump into Andrea. I don't really want to see her for now."

In fact, Mango didn't feel like receiving guests right now.

"Okay. Let's ignore whatever that is happening outside and just do our own things."

"All right."

Mango had the same thoughts as Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, Andrea was still kicking up a fuss outside. However, she fell silent after someone came and told her off.

Then, both Mango and Nathaniel exchanged a sly smile before they went about their own duties.

Mango slept well that night despite some ruckus from Andrea, but Nathaniel wouldn't go outside no matter what. Hence, he didn't bump into Andrea at all, so it was relatively quiet for now.

The next day, Queena called ahead to let them know that she wouldn't be coming because she had to run some errands. After Nathaniel received the news, he had Thomas arrange to have food delivered to them, but he didn't expect that the deliveryman would be Charlotte.

"Charlotte? You came!"

Mango was especially delighted to see Charlotte.

Then, Charlotte held up the thermos in her hand and said, "Well, since I'm unemployed, what else can I do besides taking care of you?"

"What happened?"

In fact, Mango recalled that Charlotte had been doing well at her job, so why did she suddenly get fired?

Could it be that Charlotte got fired because she went AWOL after of the incident with Walter?

Before Mango could ask, Charlotte answered angrily, "It's all because of that Walter Song! I just found out that his family owns the company I work at, and he used his position as CEO to make me clean the toilets! I'll be d*mned if I willingly keep doing that! Hmph! I don't believe that I won't be able to find a job elsewhere! But that son of a b*tch used his influence to ban me from every other company in Ocean City! Well, I'm too tired to play games with him now, I'll deal with him after you get better."

Mango was quite surprised when she heard

Charlotte's words.

She never thought that Walter would really screw with Charlotte.

"Do you need me to call him? Perhaps it's all just a simple misunderstanding, so by then..."

"No need for that. I'll deal with him myself, so all you need to do is focus on your recovery."

As Charlotte finished speaking, Nathaniel cut in faintly. "Despite knowing that she needs to recover, you're still annoying her with your problems."

"Oh, what's your problem? I'm just talking to Mango, why are you getting jealous?"

Although Charlotte had a more favourable impression of Nathaniel now, it didn't mean that she would be nicer to him. Hence, this annoyed Nathaniel so much that he gave up on talking to her.

Conversely, Mango couldn't help but smile when she saw the two of them bickering.

"My husband's on one side, and my best friend's on the other. Is it really a good idea for both of you to fight all the time?"

"Mango, you should count yourself lucky that I don't like him. If not, you're going to have a lot to be worried about."

Charlotte filled up a bowl of soup for Mango as she spoke.

"Why?"

Clearly, Mango was a little puzzled.

Charlotte shrugged and said, "For all you know, I could be a man-stealing whore!"

"Hahahaha!"

At that, Mango immediately burst into laughter.

As Nathaniel noticed Mango's good mood, he finally realized that Charlotte's presence might have been a good thing after all.

"Well, I'll let you two have a chat. I need to step out for a moment."

Nathaniel stood up to leave, but Mango was quite concerned.

"If you meet her, then..."

"Don't worry, I'll only ever have eyes for you."

Meanwhile, Charlotte feigned gagging as she heard Nathaniel's words, which made Mango laugh once again.

"Are both of you planning to give me diabetes?"

Then, Nathaniel chuckled before he left the ward.

After that, Charlotte quickly asked, "So what's going on? Is he by your side 24/7? I heard that he's turned his back on his company to care for you. D*mn, girl, you got game."

"Ugh, stop it."

A light blush formed on Mango's face.

"Well, I guess you should know what's going on. My mother Queena has another daughter, and she's my half-sister. She nearly killed me back in America, but Nathaniel only spared her for the sake of his friendship with Dylan. What's more, she fancies Nathaniel and I'm a little married now that she's here in this hospital."

Mango gave Charlotte a brief explanation of what happened previously.

After she heard this, Charlotte became furious.

"How could you tolerate her? So what if she's your sister? Did she ever treat you like one? How is it possible for such a shameless person to exist? There are so many men around, so why is she so adamant on getting Nathaniel?"

"Hey, keep your voice down. I'm avoiding her because I need peace and quiet, and she still doesn't know I'm here."

Mango tugged on Charlotte's arm. Honestly, she found that her best friend's antics were quite adorable right now.

"Ah, you're way too kind. I know that you're doing this to save your mom the trouble. Oh, Mango, you're always so selfless, but unfortunately, not everyone appreciates your kindness."

Charlotte tapped Mango's head with a distressed expression before she held the soup up to Mango's lips.

"Have some of this to keep your energy up. But I'm curious, why did Nathaniel leave when he knows that there's a demon hanging out outside?"

"He might have gone to settle the paperwork so that I can be discharged."

Mango replied calmly as she sipped on the soup.

"Huh? Can you even be discharged when you're like this?" "There shouldn't be an issue, and I detest the smell of hospitals. Furthermore, I only need to rest, so I'll be fine anywhere that's quiet."

In truth, Mango still felt sad when she brought up the child that she had lost.

Then, Charlotte gently patted the back of Mango's hand and said, "Stop thinking about it. It's not your fault, and you have plenty of time to get pregnant in the future as you're still young."

"I know, but I'm still a little upset about it."

In truth, Mango knew that it wasn't her fault, but she felt better now. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Just as the two of them continued talking, another flurry of noise erupted from outside.

Then, she frowned when she heard Andrea's voice again.

"Is that your annoying sister?"

Charlotte felt very irritated with people who insisted on shouting inside hospitals.

After that, Mango nodded before she replied in a low voice. "Ignore her. She'll quiet down after a while."

"No, who does she think she is? Doesn't she know that this is a hospital? Doesn't she know that it's common courtesy to be quiet inside a hospital? Furthermore, where are the security and hospital director? Are they going to ignore this?"

Charlotte was already livid with Andrea for what she did to Mango, but Charlotte became even more irritated as Andrea kept on screaming.

However, Mango held her best friend back.

"Hey, don't stir up a fuss. Well be fine as long as she doesn't come looking for us. Plus, I'll be leaving in a few days, so I'll be fine."

"Oh, Mango, you're far too kind!"

Ultimately, Charlotte had to suppress her anger after she heard Mango's words.

Mango was sick, so Charlotte was willing to listen to her. Since Mango didn't want any trouble, Charlotte wouldn't go looking for it.

However, the noise outside grew louder and it irritated Charlotte so much that she frowned deeply. Frankly, she couldn't wait to go out and fight Andrea.

"Get out of my f*cking way!"

Andrea was still as aggressive and domineering as she had been back in the United States. Despite Dylan's efforts to hold her back, she still insisted on causing a ruckus.

Just as Charlotte's patience reached its limit, a knock came at the door.

"Open the door!"

Andrea's voice sounded on the other side of the door, which made Mango's eyes narrow.

Did Andrea discover that she was hospitalised here?

Did her sister really come all the way here just to pick a fight with her?
