The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

When Genevieve saw Mango's restlessness, she said to Noah, "Don't wait for tomorrow. We might as well send her back now since it looks like she won't be able to sleep too if she continues to stay in our house."

Mango looked at Genevieve with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I'm really..."

"I understand. You won't be able to sleep well too if you're in our house. You can go back to your own home now since the affairs in the Blu family have come to an end. You might sleep well when you are watching over the children."

Genevieve was very understanding.

Mango looked at Noah, so he nodded and left to start the car.

After she tidied herself up, she planned to give Nathaniel a call to inform him that she was going home. However, she couldn't get a hold of his phone.

Mango frowned slightly. The discomfort within her heart had become even more obvious.

Mango felt more and more uncomfortable as

Noah and her left the house.

"Noah, drive me to the Hans family."

"What's wrong?"

Noah was a little surprised.

Mango shook her head, but she had some made some arrangements in her heart.

Noah just drove Mango to the Hans family's house and didn't say anything else after he saw how determined Mango was.

Mateo and Terrance were naturally surprised to see Mango coming back at this time.

"What's wrong? Have you quarreled with Nathaniel?"

"No, but there are some things that have made me confused. I want to come back and discuss it with two of you."

Mango wrapped herself in her jacket as she felt a little cold.

"Come in quickly."

Mateo thanked Noah and brought Mango into the house.

Mango's body got a bit warmer after she entered the house, but her brows were still knitted tightly together.

"What happened?"

Terrance was very worried, so he quickly asked Mango.

However, Mango looked at Mateo and asked, "Was Nathan at home when you left our house?"

"I wanted to ask you about that too. Both you and Nathan went out together, but why did he come back alone? However, something had happened to the Ye family."

"What's the matter?"

Mango felt very uncomfortable and held her hands tightly when she heard what Mateo had said.

Mateo thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Zion give you a call? A man went to the Ye family and claimed that he was Nathan's father. Didn't his father die years ago? However, it's not good for us to interfere with the Ye family's matters, so I came back. I wanted to bring the children back to our house too, but Nathan said that he'll settle this matter and take care of the children when he got back. I left after that. Why? Haven't you gone back to the Ye family?"

Mateo thought that Mango had not gone back to the Ye family when he heard what she had asked. Otherwise, she would have already known about the matter.

Mango's mind was completely blank when she heard all of these.

Rainie said that she saw Nathaniel leading a team to destroy the Blu family and Mateo said that Nathaniel's father had come back. Both of these people were people that had already passed away. "What the hell is going on?"

Did Nathaniel fail to settle the family affairs since he had not given her a call?

Mango suddenly recalled Nathaniel's words before he left. "She'll still have someone to take care of her if she doesn't go back. However, if she goes back..."

Mango felt even more uneasy when she thought of this.

"I called Nathan, but no one answered. I don't know what's going on. Nathan asked me to stay in the Soo family when he left, but I couldn't stay any longer. I came back because I don't even know how's the situation in the Ye family now. Mateo, Terrance, if I need help, you..."

Mango looked at them and pleaded with her eyes.

Mateo and Terrance said together, "Everyone in the Hans family will be on standby for you as long as you request for it." "Thank you, uncles." Mango felt a little warmth in her heart, but she still couldn't fall asleep.

"I'll call Zion and ask him what's going on."

Although Mango felt that the children must have already gone to bed by this time, she still couldn't calm herself down.

Mateo also nodded.

Mango picked up her phone and called Zion.

The phone rang a few times and Zion answered it.

"Mommy?"

Zion's voice was hoarse and it carried a hint of drowsiness.

Mango couldn't bear to disturb him, but she still asked, "Are you sleeping?"

"Yeah, why aren't you sleeping at this hour?"

Zion yawned and looked at the time. It was 4:40 a.m.

"Mommy, are you home? Why don't I go to your room and talk?"

"I'm not at home."

Mango was surprised.

She thought that something had happened at home, but does it mean that everything at home was fine since Zion could still sleep so peacefully? Then why didn't Nathaniel call her if everything

was fine?

Also, what about the person who called himself Nathaniel's father?

Mango felt that she had too many questions.

Zion quickly drank a mouthful of water to wake himself up when he heard that Mango was not home. Then, he asked, "Mommy, where aren't you at home?"

"I'm in your uncle's house. Has your father gone back? Who is that person that claimed to be your grandfather?"

Zion yawned when he heard Mango's question, "Mr. Ye came back a long time ago. The person who called himself Mr. Ye's father looks exactly like grandfather. However, Mr. Ye called him uncle. The two of them entered the study, but nobody knew what they said. Anyway, uncle left not long after and Mr. Ye stayed alone in the study for a long time. He just told us to rest when he came out and then went straight to his bedroom. I thought that you would be back in a short while. I was just too tired, so I never waited for mommy."

Zion had already told Mango everything. However, Mango didn't feel any sense of relief after that. Instead, her brows were knitted even more tightly together.

Nathaniel's uncle?

Didn't they say that he was missing?

She heard from Isla in the past that the second uncle wanted to compete with Nathaniel's father to take hold of the Ye family. However, he disappeared later for some unknown reason.

Nathaniel had also checked on his uncle when he was investigating Nick's matter. He thought that all of the incidents were caused by his second uncle. However, they discovered that their predictions were false. Therefore, Nathaniel had stopped searching for him since then, and his uncle had never shown up. However, his uncle suddenly appeared now and claimed that he was Nathaniel's father just when Isla's matter had just come to an end. What was going on?

More and more questions piled up in Mango's brain.

"Mommy? Are you still listening?"

Zion couldn't help but shout when he did not hear Mango's response.

Only then did Mango react and she quickly said, "I'm here. Go to sleep first. I'm going to rest at third uncle's house tonight. I'll be going back tomorrow morning."

"Alright!"

Mango still didn't have the mood to sleep after Zion hung up the phone.

Mateo patted her on the shoulder and said when he saw how worried Mango was, "Don't think too much. The affairs of the Ye Family have always been complicated. It's good that Nathaniel is the head of the family now. You're in his heart, and he won't make things difficult for you. He will protect you regardless of what that second uncle wants to do. You can come back home if you don't want to stay in the Ye family I've heard that you have recognized your grandfather? Why don't you go back and accompany your mother too? That seems like a good idea."

Mango nodded. She knew that what Mateo said was true despite the confusions in her heart.

"Both of you can go back and have a rest. I'm sleepy too. I will go upstairs to take a bath and sleep. Everything might be settled tomorrow." "That's right!"

They finally felt at ease after hearing what Mango had said.

Mango went back to her room and took a bath. After that, she checked her phone, but she still did not received any messages from Nathaniel.

She didn't know what Nathaniel was thinking about.

Nathaniel was already very dissatisfied with the plot that Rainie had set up. Mango could feel the killing intent from Nathaniel when Rainie said those hurtful words in the red light district.

It was the first time that he didn't give her a phone call and text message, nor did he bother about her current state.

Mango couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved at this moment.

She could not withstand such a thing even as a woman, let alone Nathaniel, who was proud and arrogant.

He might be really angry.

Mango sighed and sent a message to Nathaniel.

"I'm sorry, don't take today's matter to heart. Rainie did not feel good, so don't mind her. Let's go for a walk to relax if you're still angry about it."

Mango thought that Nathaniel must have already fallen asleep after she sent the message. However, she heard a notification from her phone just as she was about to turn off her phone to rest. There was a message.

"There's no need for that."

It was just five words, but it made Mango feel even more uncomfortable from that.

He wasn't asleep!

"Why didn't he send me a message since he was still awake? Why didn't he call me?"

Mango suddenly felt very aggrieved for some reason.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.

"You haven't slept yet? I won't be going back now since it's already too late. I'll go home tomorrow morning."

"Alright."

His replies were so cold.

Mango could feel the coldness even through the phone.

Was Nathaniel really mad?

She held her phone and she didn't know what to say to him.

Perhaps it would be good for the both of them to calm down for some time.

Mango put her phone on the table beside her and lay down. She had waited for some time, but there weren't any notifications anymore. She did not know when she had fallen asleep.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning when she got up.

Mango hurriedly got up and tidied herself up. She didn't expect that she would sleep so deeply.

Mateo, who was downstairs, had already left. Terrance quickly made her something to eat when he saw that she was awake.

Mango shook her head and said, "I'm going home to eat. Terrance, I'll be leaving first."

"I'll send someone to see you off."

Terrance could tell that Mango was determined to return home. He wanted to get her to stay, but he did not have the guts to do so.

Mango did not refuse and she let Terrance send her back to the Ye's mansion.

Mango noticed that the people inside the Ye's mansion were moving some things outside just as she arrived.

"What's going on?"

She quickly got out of the car.

The maid paused for a while when she saw that it was Mango. Then, she said, "Mr. Ye asked us to move all of these to the apartment on South Street. He said he would stay there for the next few days."

Mango was terribly shocked when she heard this and her mind was reeling.

Wasn't she the one that should be angry after such a thing happened? What was Nathaniel planning to do?

Did he want to live apart from Mango?
