The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 93

There was a hint of joy in Mango's eyes. No matter who was coming, as the person in charge of this place, Nathaniel would definitely have to leave. At that time, if Nathaniel left, she and the children would be at much ease during the meal.

At this time, Mango did not think much about why she was so reluctant to be with Nathaniel, she simply did not want to be with him, especially after experiencing such a thing.

Nathaniel's face looked a little awful, and Zion frowned slightly, but Wisdom was not that much affected. Perhaps for Wisdom, Nathaniel was busy all the time, and he didn't have much chance to see Nathaniel back in Ye family anyway, not to mention having a meal at the same table.

Mango coughed and said, "Aren't you going out to have a look?"

"Do you really want me to leave?"

Nathaniel stared straight at Mango. Although Mango didn't want to admit it, her eyes still betrayed her, to the point that Nathaniel felt very upset.

How could a woman who used to love him so much have become like this?

Mango did see the hurting look in Nathaniel's eyes, but she pretended not to have seen it. She lowered her head and said, "If I say yes, will you leave?" "It's not happening! I haven't eaten your meal for a long time. Nothing can make me leave now."

Obviously, Nathaniel didn't want Mango to be satisfied.

This woman was becoming more and more capable of making him angry.

Mango had also figured his response like that, so she was not very disappointed. She shrugged indifferently and then sat down beside Zion.

Wisdom was a little confused on the other side.

Why was daddy acting differently here than in Ocean City?

However, Wisdom did not have the courage to ask Nathaniel, so he had to lower his head and drink the water in front of him. When the glass of water was about to be finished, suddenly a pair of small chubby hands reached out and took his glass directly.

"Eh? My water!"

Wisdom quickly shouted out, but only to see Zion put the glass directly in a farther place, he said faintly, "Let's eat."

"But daddy hasn't eaten yet."

Wisdom was also very hungry. He was so starving that his stomach felt empty, but as long as Nathaniel didn't move his chopsticks, he couldn't make a move. This was the rule of Ye family, which was told to him by Macy.

Zion glanced at Nathaniel and said in a low voice, "Aren't you hungry after losing so much blood?" "I'm hungry!"

Wisdom said weakly. He glanced at Nathaniel from time to time with a pitiful look in his eyes.

Nathaniel suddenly felt himself quite childish. In order to vent his anger on Mango, he actually ignored the children's feelings.

"Let's eat."

Nathaniel spoke. Wisdom quickly picked up the chopsticks, but Zion did not care about Nathaniel's order at all. He picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of braised pork for Mango.

"Mommy, you've been working hard recently. Eat more."

"Good boy. Eat more yourself."

Mango touched her son's head and smiled very gently, abandoning all her edges and corners.

Nathaniel looked at her like this, and the only thing came to his mind was a peaceful life.

The footsteps outside were getting closer.

Thomas' voice came from outside.

"Mr. Ye, there's something urgent in Ocean City."

Nathaniel's hand paused for a moment and said faintly, "Even if the sky falls, you still need to wait for me to finish this meal."

"But..."

"Can you understand human language?"

There was a hint of blame in his voice.

Thomas quickly retreated. He didn't know what he was experiencing inside, but nobody excpet Mango was able to make Nathaniel care this much.

Ever since he found out about Mango's real identity, Thomas' attitude towards Mango had completely changed, except Mango hadn't noticed it yet.

Mango looked at Nathaniel and said, "There are so many people in Ocean City all depending on you. Now you are having a good time here eating, but they may lose their jobs."

"It's none of my damn business."

It was rare for Nathaniel to make such a rude remark. On the contrary, it made Mango stunned.

Was this man drugged?

As if he didn't see Mango's doubtful eyes, Nathaniel picked a piece of okra and put it in Mango's bowl and said, "I remember that you like it very much."

Mango paused for a moment, then she avoided that okra, and said faintly, "I used to like it, it doesn't mean I still like it. People are all changeable, especially women. Don't you know Mr. Ye?"

"I really have no idea. I always think you are nostalgic."

Nathaniel said meaningfully.

Mango deliberately pretended that she didn't understand.

"Nostalgic? It depends. Since some people are not worth your 100% sincerity, why should you remember them then? I used to be too stupid, but now I am over it. Many people don't deserve me to waste my feelings on them, not even to hate them. So I'd better live my own free and unfettered life. As for the old memories, just go to hell."

Seeing Mango's casual tone, Nathaniel's eyes became dark and unclear, but he said faintly, "As long as you are happy."

This sentence made Mango suddenly feel very awkward.

What did it mean as long as she was happy?

She almost blurted out that she wanted his life. Would he give it to her?

But then she had a second thought, Nathaniel just committed self-mutilation, so she swallowed those words back.

At the moment, Mango felt particularly depressed.

She was going to irritate Nathaniel, but it seemed that she ended up feeling pissed off herself. Furthermore, she couldn't say or express her anger.

Mango lowered her head and began to eat. She simply ignored Nathaniel.

Zion was carefully observing the interaction between the two. Seeing that her mommy didn't hate Nathaniel that much, he then couldn't figure out what Mango meant.

Only Wisdom was acting like a little glutton, he kept eating and muttering, "Auntie, the food you cooked is really delicious. Can you cook for me often in the future?"

"You wish!"

Zion felt that the brat, Wisdom, had begun to fight for his mommy again, and he suddenly flicked at his forehead.

"Ouch, boss, it hurts."

"If you don't feel the pain, why would I hit you? Am I out of my mind?"

Zion said grumpily.

Wisdom touched his head and said, "That makes sense."

Seeing Zion bullying Wisdom so brazenly, Nathaniel couldn't tell exactly how he felt.

He said in a low voice, "I used to have a younger brother, too, and I often bullied him like Zion."

This was the first time that Nathaniel had talked about himself. Zion was stunned for a moment, and Mango was even more surprised.

Nathaniel also had a younger brother?

How come she never knew?

She had been married to Nathaniel for three years, yet she had never heard anyone mention that Nathaniel had a younger brother. She always thought that Nathaniel was the only child.

"Are you dreaming? Who doesn't know that you are the only heir of Ye Family?"

Mango said sarcastically.

However, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "That's because my younger brother was kicked out of Ye family and was removed from the Ye family tree. No one in the family is allowed to mention his name. As time goes by, everyone has forgotten about him."

When he said this, he suddenly felt like he couldn't eat anymore.

"My younger brother made a mistake when he was 18 years old. At that time, he was young and ambitious, and he killed someone. Although us Ye Family had a great business and we had a lot of fortune, we were still all equal in front of the law. My mother, after all, was always a mother, she removed the name of my younger brother from the family tree in front of everyone in order to protect him. She said that he was not allowed to go back to Ye Family for the rest of his life. My younger brother left Ocean City on that night. No one knew how he left. But I knew that my mother had arranged someone to send him away. The person was beaten to death by my younger brother, but his family couldn't find him. They then came to look for him in Ye Family. My mother spent a lot of money to pay them off, and then this thing was finally settled. And ever since then, I haven't heard any news about him."

Nathaniel looked a little sad when he talked about the past.

This was the first time that Mango had heard about the story of Ye Family. Ironically, when she was the daughter-in-law of Ye Family, she did not know any of these things. Now she was no longer the daughter-in-law of Ye Family, and she actually heard such a secret.

"What happened after that? Didn't you go to find him?"

"I did go to find him, but unfortunately I couldn't find him. Fie seemed to have disappeared from the earth, and there was no trace of him. No matter what kind of connection I used, there was no trace of him. Later, I found out that he changed his family name and his name, too. He went to a small town by the border, and he became the most ordinary person. No one knew his past, and no one was judging him. He was living happily by himself."

Nathaniel smiled faintly.

Hearing this, Wisdom was a little fascinated and asked in a hurry, "What happened later? Did uncle come back?"

"Uncle?"

Nathaniel Ye muttered these two words in a low voice. The way he looked at Wisdom was somewhat complicated, but he sighed and said, "He won't come back. He will never come back again. He died in that small town. In a battle between drug dealers and armed police, he was a mole working for the police and he lost his life in that battle."

Mango was stunned.

She had thought of countless possibilities and even thought that this might be another story that Nathaniel told her. However, when she saw Nathaniel's sad expression, she almost believed it.

Wisdom suddenly felt sad.

"Dead? How could he just die? I haven't met my uncle yet."

There were some changes in the way Nathaniel looked at Wisdom. He said in a low voice, "If there is a chance some day, I will take you to his grave to pay your respects."

"What is paying respects?" Wisdom looked at Nathaniel with big eyes.

Zion felt that Wisdom was sometimes really stupid enough.

"That means sweeping the tomb."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Zion's explanation, Wisdom understood at once.

"When daddy has time, then take me there. But is uncle a big hero?"

"Of course. He is the pride of Ye Family, and he is also the hero of the people."

Nathaniel's voice trembled as he spoke.

Wisdom nodded and said, "When I grow up, I want to be a hero like my uncle!"

"Then you have to train your body first."

Zion poured cold water on Wisdom from time to time.

Wisdom suddenly wailed.

Mango touched Wisdom's head and said, "It's okay. You will become a great person."

"Thank you, auntie! It's so nice of you! Why don't you be my godmother?"

Wisdom grabbed Mango's arm and Zion pushed him away instantly.

"I am warning you, if you dare to call her mom, I will stop talking to you for the rest of my life."

"No, boss, I was just talking." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Wisdom quickly changed his words. Nathaniel ignored the two brothers and said in a low voice, "Come with me. I have something to say to you."
