The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 58

Nathaniel was kind of fast. Not long after he finished speaking with Mango, a nurse came in and told Mango what she should pay attention to back home.

Mango could feel her anger burning in her heart, but she couldn't let it show.

He was still as domineering as he had been five years ago, and he still felt that she should be under his control.

Mango clenched her hands into fists, yet she knew that she had to compromise.

The entire time the nurse was explaining to her, Mango's face had been sullen and she did not speak. The air was quite oppressive. After she finished talking, the nurse quickly left.

Nathanie was looking from outside, and a complicated emotion flashed through the bottom of his eyes.

He had already asked someone to clean the house, and all the things that belonged to Macy had been sent to the seaside villa. He knew that Mango didn't like it, so he didn't leave behind any sign of Macy's previous existence at home. He also asked the servants to spray some air freshener from inside to outside.

Soon an hour passed by.

Mango knew that she had to compromise, both for the safety of her son, Zion, and for the sake of fulfilling her plan, she had to agree to Nathaniel's request. However, even though she understood it, she still found it extremely hard to accept the feeling of being forced by someone .

She thought she would feel a little better after she had calmed down her emotion for an hour, but an hour later, she still felt depressed and upset.

Nathaniel had been standing outside, with a cigarette in his hand. He kept playing with it, and one could tell that he was in a very complicated mood.

Thomas called and said that the Ye's Mansion had been tidied up. When he asked if he should come over to pick them up, Nathaniel suddenly did not feel like disturbing this opportunity for them two to be alone.

"There's no need. I'll handle it myself."

This was the first time that Nathaniel had dealt with such a private thing.

Thomas was a little surprised, but Nathaniel had already hung up the phone. Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Thomas began to reevaluate Mango's position in Nathaniel's heart.

It seemed that he had to take good care of this woman.

After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel went to the inpatient department to pay the bills. He wanted to do anything for Mango by himself, but he didn't know if Mango would still give him the chance to do so.

Mango had waited for a long time for Nathaniel, but he still hadn't showed up. She was a little puzzled. Could it be that this man had suddenly changed his mind?

Such an idea made her both happy and worried. When she came back to face Nathaniel again, she had thought of all kinds of entangled scenarios, but she did not expect it to be this difficulty.

She would rather quickly and decisively deal with Nathaniel than let him fall in love with her even though she hated him in her heart, and eventually he would give her what she needed willingly.

When Nathaniel returned, he saw Mango sitting there with a struggling expression on her face.

When Mango saw him, her eyes were filled with hatred. The way she looked, unwillingly and reluctant to give in, made Nathaniel feel pleased for some reason.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Have you given me an opportunity to think it through?"

Mango was gritting her teeth as she spoke.

Nathaniel seemed to have seen that Mango from a few years ago. He remembered that when he first met her, she was still a youthful and vibrant young girl. He still remembered clearly the admiration and love in her eyes when she looked at him.

That was such a wonderful age and such a beautiful relationship, but how come he failed to understand his own heart? Fortunately, it was not too late just yet. Since the heaven had given him a chance, he would not let it go again. At this moment, Mango was full of hatred, but Nathaniel chose to deliberately ignore it. He stood up and packed up Mango's things with his own hands, especially when he was packing up Mango's underwears, his natural expression made Mango feel very uncomfortable.

She hadn't seen this man for five years, but he seemed to be more thick-skinned.

Mango unwillingly followed Nathaniel out of the hospital. Due to the inconvenience from her injured leg, she was carried outside by Nathaniel which had attracted the gaze of the people next to her. For some reason, Mango felt a little agitated.

"Give me a crutch, I can walk by myself."

Her voice sounded muffled.

"I'm your crutch."

Nathaniel's words just slipped out of his mouth, but Mango did not appreciate it.

The two of them returned to Ye's mansion, both silent along the way. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

It was the first time that the housekeeper Ms. Zhang had seen Nathaniel come back with a woman who he carried personally. Furthermore, this woman was especially charming and seductive looking. As she recalled his previous wife, Mango, she felt somewhat disgusted. She also automatically categorized Mango as someone who wanted to hook up with rich people, so naturally she didn't look too happy.

"Mr. Ye, the room has been cleaned up. I cleaned up the guest room for Miss Katherine. Anyway, she is not Mrs, Ye, so she can't live in the bedroom with Mr. Ye."

Ms. Zhang insisted.

She had been working in Ye Family when Nathaniel was a child. Back then, Nathaniel's mother didn't have much breast milk, so she particularly hired Ms. Zhang to come over. She was also Nathaniel's wet nurse. Although she had been the housekeeper for all these years, Nathaniel still respected her.

Mango looked at this old lady who had treated her extremely well ever since she married into Ye family. Emotions tumbled through her mind at one time, but she did not show it on her face. She then said with a smile, "Who are you? So you can actually make decision for Ye family. Are you old Mrs. Ye?"

Hearing this, Ms. Zhang couldn't hold back her anger any longer.

"Miss, you are in Ye Family. Ye Family has it's own rules. Mr. Ye invited you to live here, but he didn't give you the right to be presumptuous."

"Yes I did."

Nathaniel finally opened his mouth, but what he said greatly surprised Ms. Zhang.

In the past five years, she was more aware of Nathaniel's feelings for Mango than anyone else. Ever since that big fire happened five years ago, even if Nathaniel allowed Macy to stay in Ye Family, she had never looked at her directly in the eyes, let alone allow Macy to enter Nathaniel's bedroom.

Now, this unknown woman suddenly came to Ye Family, furthermore, Nathaniel cared so much about her. Ms. Zhang's face suddenly darkened. "Mr. Ye, have you forgotten about your wife?"

Mango's heart skipped a beat, and her body stiffened unconsciously.

After leaving for five years, this honest old woman in front of her was probably the only person that still thought about her.

Thinking of how kind Ms. Zhang had treated her five years ago, Mango decided not to make things difficult for her.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter where I live. Besides, I'm not interested in occupying other people's territory."

"Other people's territory? Are you sure?"

Nathaniel stared straight at Mango, his eyes full of uncertainty.

Mango knew that Nathaniel already knew everything, but she still had to talk in riddles with him. She quickly turned her head and said, "In the Ye's mansion, the guest room is probably not bad, right?"

Seeing her self- delusional mentality, Nathaniel couldn't help but smile and walked to the bedroom.

"Sir!"

Ms. Zhang couldn't help changing her way of calling him.

Since Nathaniel took over Ye family, Ms. Zhang had begun to call him Mr. Ye. Only when she insisted on a certain thing, she would call him sir. It was clear how Ms. Zhang cared about the position of this bedroom.

Mango couldn't help but feel touched. She thought during the past five years when she was considered dead, in the eyes of these people, she had long disappeared like the morning fog. She did not expect such an old woman to still think about her all the time.

"Sir, Miss Chu gave birth to the young master for Ye family, but she still was not able to live in the bedroom. What has this woman done so she can move into the bedroom of you and your wife? Aren't you afraid of waking up in the middle of the night and dreaming of your wife?"

Mr. Zhang knew that she had overstepped her boundary. However, since the old Mrs. Ye was not around, she had to check for Nathaniel. Moreover, she knew more than anyone who Nathaniel truly loved. She was helping Mango to keep the last piece of land that belonged to her.

Nathaniel's steps stopped a little.

He looked at his wet nurse, who had watched him grow up, and whispered, "Ms. Zhang, it's been five years. Every day I hope that Mango can come into my dream and tell me what happened in that year, but she has never come back to me for five years. If by letting someone else to live in our bedroom, I can make her to come back and question me, wouldn't that be a good option? I've made up my mind on this. Ms. Zhang, you don't need to say anything more. From now on, Katherine will share the same right as Mango in Ye Family. Anything she does or says, just listen to her. She has the right to be presumptuous here! Because I gave her the right!"

"Sir!"

Ms. Zhang was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears. However, Nathaniel didn't say anything as if he had made up his mind. She carried Mango and went upstairs.

Mango remained silent.

He said this on purpose for her to hear, didn't he?

Five years ago, when they were still husband and wife, Nathaniel wasn't treating her this well. In the whole Ye Family, except for Ms. Zhang, no one treated her as a real hostess and they even ignored her.

Now he actually said that she had the right to be presumptuous here. It was extremely ridiculous!

Mango lowered her head and did not reply. She allowed Nathaniel to carry her into the bedroom.

The moment Nathaniel entered, she was still shocked.

Five years!

This bedroom looked exactly the same as when she left!

Even the cosmetics on the makeup table were still there, except they had been replaced by a new set, and the brand still remained the same as she used to like.

She liked to read books for half an hour every night, and those books were still placed on the bedside table. Judging from the degree of wear and tear of the paper, it looked like someone had been reading them every day in the past five years.

The bed sheet was still the one she used to love the most, and the dolls that she liked, and even the water cup with which she used to drink water from during the night was in the original position.

For a moment, Mango thought that she had returned to the past, back to the time when she had wholeheartedly loved Nathaniel and

followed Nathaniel everywhere all day long.

She had too much joys and sorrows here, and she had putting in too much emotion. For five years, nothing seemed to have changed. Fie was her husband, and this was her world. But this feeling only lasted for a moment, and she soon snapped out of it.

No!

It had changed after all!

She had changed!

Nathaniel had also changed!

Mango closed her eyes, completely suppressing all those thoughts that she had once thought about in her heart.

Nathaniel had been observing her face from the moment she entered the door, including her shock, her attachment, her trance, and her indifference and restraint towards the end. Fie had seen them all.

When Mango closed her eyes, Nathaniel's heart also felt a bit of pain. Fie knew that even though she had returned, her heart had been lost.

But it didn't matter. Fie had plenty of time for her to admit herself that she was his wife and the hostess here!

Nathaniel gently placed Mango on the bed, but he suddenly heard Mango ask, "This is you and your wife's room?" "Yes!"

Nathaniel responded in a hoarse voice.

However, Mango asked with a smile, "Then why didn't I see your wedding photos? Was Mrs. Ye in name only?"

Nathaniel froze immediately when he heard this.
