The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Mango was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here?"

After meeting Abyss again five years later, Mango's expression turned a little cold.

Abyss felt inexplicably sad when he looked at the cold expression of the woman whom he loved.

He still remembered the ups and downs that he had been through with Mango, and also the happy moments that they used to spend together as a family of four. But why did it end up like this?

Furthermore, Mango was even resentful of him than before.

Was it wrong to love someone?

Abyss looked at Mango and said affectionately, "You guys won't be able to escape. You can only do it if you agree to marry me with Marissa's identity." "You already knew about it, didn't you?"

She fumed with rage when she remembered that Abyss was in charge of her plastic surgery in the past.

She would never tolerate it if Abyss had known about the truth for the past five years, and he still treated her and the children this way.

Abyss shook his head and said, "I had no idea. It was grandma's decision to save you five years ago, but I'm not aware of the things that happened." "Your grandma?"

"Yes. My grandmother ordered me to work in Ocean City and she gave me an address. I didn't know why, but I couldn't go against her order so I went to the gas station that day. However, I didn't expect to meet you and save you. I always believed that fate brought us together, and I never expected it to be an encounter schemed by somebody else. Anyway, I'm grateful to have met you in the past five years and I never regretted staying with you guys. I don't mind if you continue to live with me with Marissa's identity. It doesn't matter to me as long as I'm with you."

"But I do mind!"

Upon hearing what Abyss said, Mango immediately rejected him.

"I will never be Marissa. We're different and no one has the right to decide our fate. Abyss, you should know me better than anyone else after you lived with me for the past few years. Don't attempt to change my mind. I'm grateful to you, but I'll never like you. That's two totally different things. Plus, I thought that your family has learnt a lesson after what Nathaniel did."

Abyss was jealous when he noticed how Mango mentioned Nathaniel's name with pride.

"How is Nathaniel any better than me?"

"There is no comparison. I fell in love with him and that's it, I don't mind even if he's a beggar."

Mango felt that it was pointless to talk about these things with Abyss now. She had already said everything that was on her mind, but Abyss was still stubborn. What else could she do?

Abyss's expression turned ugly when he heard Mango's words.

Mango knew that it would just be a waste of time if she continued. "Get out of the way! Or I'll get you outta here! It's your choice!" Mango was already getting ready to make a move as she spoke. Abyss naturally saw through her intentions.

He said sorrowfully, "Are you going to hurt me now? Mango Shen, are you sure? You have to know that if it weren't for me five years ago, not only you, but even the child in your belly wouldn't be able to survive in this world." "That's why you and the Tang family are still alive. Otherwise, do you think Nathaniel will let you off given what your family did to my children?"

Mango's words provoked Abyss once again.

"Nathaniel Ye again! You're so full of him! Will you agree to be with me only if he's dead? If that's the case, screw him and just let him die!"

Abyss took out his walkie-talkie as he spoke.

Mango immediately understood Abyss's intentions.

This time, she didn't even bother to talk before she stepped forward and kicked away the walkie-talkie in his hand. After that, she grabbed hold of Abyss by the neck.

"Do you really want to die? Do you think that you'd be safe just because you've rescued me last time? You even tried to frame us by using Zion and Rita. And how dare you try to be in possession of me now? Abyss, you're sick of living, aren't you?"

"Are you trying to kill me? Do you have the guts to do it?"

Abyss disregarded her threatening actions because he knew that she would never attack him for real.

In the past five years of being with her, he knew exactly what her character was like. Although she had never given up on her children, she was a strong and delicate woman.

However, being strong was not enough to give her the courage to kill.

This was the reason why he dared to provoke Mango. It was the only thing that he could do because he wasn't as great as Nathaniel.

In fact, he was right. Mango didn't have the courage to kill another person. She had to take her beloved child and Nathaniel into consideration.

However, that didn't mean that she couldn't attack him.

Mango sneered and immediately strangled Abyss by the throat.

Abyss was extremely shocked. Before he could say anything, he passed out in no time.

Mango threw him aside and took the walkie-talkie. Then, she quickly entered Marissa's room with Desmond.

However, Marissa's body was gone!

This was the first thing they discovered after entering the room.

"Where's Marissa? Where's my daughter?"

Mr. Fang looked for her everywhere as if he had gone crazy.

Meanwhile, Desmond's face was terribly gloomy.

Mango knew that Marissa must have been hidden by Isla.

This woman was absolutely awful and despicable!

How dare she do this to a dead person?

As long as something had a shred of value, she would utilize it to the extreme before she was willing to give up.

"Let's go!"

Mango did not want to waste any more time here.

Anyway, Marissa was already dead and Desmond was still alive. No matter what, a living human was far more important than a dead person.

She grabbed Desmond's hand and quickly made a phone call to Nathaniel from Marissa's room, and he told him about the Fang family's security system.

Nathaniel let out a sigh of relief when he heard Mango's voice.

"Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. I'll take Desmond out right away, but Marissa's body is missing."

"It doesn't matter. Isla will find us again. Come to the back alley. I have already cracked their security system. Give me two minutes and I will meet you at the back door."

Upon hearing his words, Mango was assured and relieved. There was nothing to be afraid about as long as Nathaniel was around,

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, she held Desmond's hand and left while Mr. Fang was still looking all over for Marissa.

As they were rushing out, she told Desmond, "I know that you want to find Marissa's body now, but listen to me. Isla wanted me to die and she will definitely have tons of ways to harm me. Marissa's body may be one of them. I promise you that I will take Marissa's body out of the Fang family, but the main solution now is to take you with me. You must leave this place safely before I can do anything else. And Desmond, I am pregnant. Don't mess with me because I might suffer from a miscarriage, okay?"

Desmond was completely stunned.

He looked at Mango's stomach with a deep gaze.

"All right."

Desmond finally responded after he remained silent for a moment. However, Mango felt that it was somehow surreal when she heard it.

"What did you say?"

"I said let's go out."

Desmond did not hesitate at all before he turned around and grabbed her by the hand.

Meanwhile, Mr. Fang was still searching for Marissa's body desperately as if he had gone insane.

Mango shook her head with pity and quickly left Marissa's room with Desmond.

Of course, there were still some people blocking them on the way, but Mango didn't stop at all. She ran all the way to the back alley.

When she arrived, Nathaniel was seen standing at the back door.

He was like a beacon of hope that gave her the strength and courage when she most needed it.

"Nathaniel!"

Mango called out happily.

The moment Nathaniel turned his head around, she suddenly felt extremely relieved.

She ran towards him excitedly while she pulled Desmond by the hand.

Nathaniel was slightly displeased when she saw Mango holding Desmond's hand. However, he was grateful for what Desmond did to help them.

He was relieved to see the happiness in Mango's eyes, and it was as if everything he had sacrificed for her was truly worth it.

Nathaniel opened her arms and hugged her tightly.

Then, he asked softly, "Are you hurt? Let me see you."

Mango smelled his familiar smell and shook her head, "I'm fine, I miss you so much."

A second felt like an eternity without him by her side.

Nathaniel let out a gentle smile.

Desmond couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw their affectionate interaction.

If Marissa was still alive, they might be such a happy couple as well. Unfortunately, Marissa was long gone.

His gaze immediately turned gloomy.

"Let's get out of here first."

He couldn't bear to interrupt their moment together, but this was indeed not a good place to talk.

"Are you all right?"

Nathaniel glanced at Desmond. He couldn't help but ask after noticing that Desmond was besmeared in blood.

"I'm still alive."

Desmond gritted his teeth and glared at the Fang's household. This was a place that had restrained him ever since he was a child, but he was willing to stay because of Marissa. Now that Marissa was gone, he could not wait to set this place on fire.

But he was still in his right mind.

Nathaniel urged when he saw Desmond's worsening condition, "Let's get out of here first."

"All right."

As soon as they left the back door of the Fang family, Isla's voice was heard.

"Don't let them run away! Close the door!"

Nathaniel's footsteps paused slightly.

He still remembered such a familiar voice.

"Is it really her?"

"That's right."

Although he had known that Isla was still alive, he was still surprised when he heard her voice.

Mango understood his feelings. She held his hand tightly and said, "She's no longer the mother that you know. Perhaps she has never been your mother. For so many years, the person who brought you up and gave birth to you is Nanny Zhang. She just wants to control you and Nick."

"I know. Let's go."

Nathaniel's eyes were a little dim.

They hurriedly walked towards the parking lot and suddenly found that their cars were gone.
