The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Mango answered the phone immediately.

"Zion, have you found anything?"

Zion paused for a while when he heard that it was his mother's voice before he said "Mommy, have you guys arrived? How's Uncle Song?"

"His condition is not so good, but he has already gone to the ICU. How's your investigation going as your daddy told you to do?"

Mango was very anxious, but she didn't want to force Zion.

Then, Zion replied, "I've found out that the car that the other party is driving belongs to Bosco."

"Bosco..."

Mango looked at Nathaniel with anger in her eyes.

Wasn't Bosco a jade tycoon? There was no need to harm Walter because of business, wasn't it?

"Got it, Zion. Don't get involved in this matter as I'll handle it by myself and you should stay safe with Uncle Soo. Do you understand?" "Understood, mommy. You and Mr. Ye should also take care of yourselves."

"Alright."

Mango frowned after hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong? What did Zion say?"

"It's Bosco, but it's not necessary for him to go to this extent if it's just business affairs, isn't it? Is there something that we don't know?" Mango asked the questions she had in mind.

Then, Nathaniel thought for a moment and said, "Ask Novalee as we might get some clues from her."

Mango nodded her head and left the ward with Nathaniel.

Walter used to be full of vigor, but he was lying there motionlessly now.

Not long ago, Nathaniel was lying on the bed, but now it was Walter.

Mango felt that she should really pray to the deities in the temple as she found it strange that the people around her always got into trouble.

When Novalee saw Mango walking in, she immediately stood up and asked, "Ms. Shen, how is it going?"

"Do Walter and Bosco have grudges against each other? Do you have any idea?"

Mango's question made Novalee stunned for a moment.

"Bosco? Do you mean that it was Bosco who caused us trouble and beat Walter up?"

"The car belongs to him, but we haven't investigated it clearly if it was his order, so we aren't sure yet. We wanted to know now if there are any personal grievances between Walter and Bosco?" "No...but if they do, it must be because of me."

Novalee bit her lower lip and told her Walter's speculation about Bosco, including the cause of her parents' death and the secret information given by Zion.

At that instant, Mango's brows furrowed slightly.

Then, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "He's still so arrogant... Doesn't he realize where is he now? Does he still think he is in Ocean City and that he can do anything as he like? He's just causing himself trouble. "Well, Walter has always been like this... Don't you know that? He didn't mind his behavior in the Underground City at that time too, did he?"

Mango knew that Nathaniel was doing this out of goodwill, so she quickly stretched out her hand and held him.

On the other hand, Novalee looked at Nathaniel as she was afraid that Nathaniel would not stand up for Walter and she quickly said, "Mr. Ye, I know you that you're an influential person and Walter said that you are his best friend, so please help him!"

"Me? His best friend? Did he say this to you?"

Nathaniel was a little surprised.

Then, Novalee nodded quickly.

"Yes, he told me himself and he said that he doesn't have many friends in his life, but the most reliable and trustworthy people beside him are Ms. Shen and Mr. Ye."

Nathaniel smiled as he shook his head when he heard what Novalee said.

"Doesn't he feel guilty saying this?"

"Well, he did say so... Are you going to help him or not?"

Mango tugged at the hem of Nathaniel's shirt.

Nathaniel felt somewhat displeased when he heard his wife speaking for Walter.

"I would've been jealous if I didn't know your feelings for me. Mango, do you know how much pain I feel in my heart when you beg for mercy for another man in front of me?" However, Mango let out a laugh at that instant.

"I'll return you the favour, alright?"

"That's a promise!"

Nathaniel bargained like a child.

Suddenly, Novalee felt a little envious looking at their interaction.

There weren't many couples like Mango and Nathaniel in this world.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Shen, you're so close with each other."

Then, Nathaniel immediately smiled and said, "Of course, we are an old couple after all and our child is already four years old."

"Well, don't get all flattered... Quick, do you have any ways to help Walter?"

Mango glared at Nathaniel in a flirtish manner.

This man was becoming increasingly arrogant.

Then, Nathaniel said with a smile, "Of course I have a solution and I'll have to obey the orders of my dear wife regardless. Don't worry, I will check out Bosco's background at night." "I'll go with you."

Mango said this.

However, Nathaniel whispered, "You'd better stay in the hotel so that you can find someone to save me in case I can't come back."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mango was unwilling to listen to Nathaniel's words.

Nathaniel naturally knew this as well as Mango was afraid that something would happen to him, but there were some things that he had to tell her.

"Mango, there's always a possibility that accidents might happen and no one can guarantee that everything will go according to our plan, so I'm saying that just in case. You stay here while I'll go find Bosco myself and tell him that I came for business purposes. You can check on Bosco's businesses over the years and the people that he has close contact with when you're in the hotel as there might be another breakthrough."

Mango was a little worried when she heard Nathaniel's words, but she had to admit that Nathaniel's arrangement was rational.

"You must be careful..."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Nathaniel touched Mango's head and his doting expression made Novalee a little envious.

Perhaps this was love.

However, Mango pushed Nathaniel and said, "You're touching my head again... I'm not your pet."

"Haha, it is my wish to pamper you for the rest of my life."

Nathaniel's words warmed Mango's heart as she looked at his tender gaze.

"We're an old couple, so why are you saying this?

Hurry up and call Bosco."

Mango pushed Nathaniel away.

However, Nathaniel said somewhat helplessly, "How can you push me away so mercilessly?"

"What? Are you expecting me to give you a French kiss?"

"That sounds good!"

Nathaniel directly held Mango in her arms after saying that.

Novalee quickly turned her head and her face became red.

Mr. Ye was really open-minded.

Then, Nathaniel kissed Mango and she was so ashamed that she wanted to hide.

She pushed Nathaniel away and growled, "Get out!"

"Fine..."

Then, Nathaniel left with a smile.

Mango felt embarrassed when she saw Novalee's gaze.

"Nathan became like this after he woke up from his coma, so don't mind him... He used to be very calm."

"Ms. Shen, Mr. Ye treats you really well." "Don't mention it. All the other married couples would be like that too."

Mango quickly gave an excuse.

At that instant, Novalee smiled and looked at Walter as she whispered, "He said that he wanted me to be his girlfriend."

"Did you agree?"

"I don't know."

Then, Novalee sat down beside Walter's bed.

She held his hand and said, "Ms. Shen, what if Walter has a fever? Will he wake up or will he be like Mr. Ye?"

"No! Walter is not a fool and he won't fall into a deep sleep after being hit by someone else as this isn't his personality. He's too flamboyant and arrogant, so he would never let others avenge for him if he could take revenge himself. Don't worry, he will be fine."

Novalee suddenly felt displeased when she heard Mango's comment towards Walter as she seemed to know him very well.

"Ms. Shen, you know Walter very well."

"We are friends and we've been through thick and thin together."

However, Mango felt that something was wrong after she said that.

She looked at Novalee and saw that her expression was not quite right, so she suddenly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ms. Shen, I know it's not the right time for me to tell you this now, but I still have to say it, so please don't be angry if it's not to your liking, okay?"

"Go ahead."

Mango felt that Novalee became a little different now.

Novalee looked at her and pondered for a moment before she said, "Walter said that he wanted me to be his girlfriend and I also want to accept his confession to be his partner. However, I'm well aware of Walter's feelings for you in the past and he's a loyal person... Now, you are married and your children aren't babies anymore, so from now on, please don't keep asking Walter for help as he should have his own life."

At that instant, Mango paused for a moment and she suddenly felt rather displeased deep down.

She felt that she was rejected by Novalee.

"Novalee, Walter and I have nothing to with each other and we are really just friends, so you must be overthinking..."

"We are all women, Ms. Shen, so don't try to refute me by saying that I'm overthinking. I don't care about Walter's feelings for you before, but I hope that I will be the one in his life in the future. Ms. Shen, you have your own family and children, so don't look for Walter again if there's nothing important, okay?"

Novalee's words were very direct and Mango felt somewhat embarrassed and awkward at that moment

She hoped that Walter could have his own happiness and find his soul mate, but she still felt very displeased when she got reproached by Novalee at this moment.

"It's not because of my personal issue that I find him everytime."

"I know, but I hope that you won't look for Walter anymore no matter what happens in the future. You should completely leave him alone if you really want to make him happy and both of us would feel more comfortable this way."

Novalee looked at Mango and she seemed as if Mango was trying to steal her boyfriend.

It was obvious that she did not want Mango and Walter to have any connections anymore in the future, and that they didn't have to be friends too.

Mango felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she also knew that this might be the best for Walter and Novalee.

"Alright. I'll leave him alone from now on."

"Thank you for your understanding, Ms. Shen. Also, I hope that you will hand over the tourism company to me if that's possible and you can rest assured that I will manage it well. Ms. Shen, you should go back to Ocean City with Mr. Ye with peace of mind."

Mango felt depressed after hearing Novalee's words.

"Novalee, is that necessary? Are you saying that you can take care of Walter alone despite his current condition without the help of me and Nathaniel? Or is it that I can't stay in this place if Walter is here? Don't you think you are too bossy?" Mango didn't want to say that, but she had no choice at this moment.

She could leave Walter alone for his happiness, but wasn't it an act of bully if Novalee wanted to deprive her rights of staying in this land? Besides, the tourism company belonged to her and Novalee had no right to decide on who could manage it.
