The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"What's going on?"

Thomas frowned slightly and asked the bodyguard next to him subconsciously.

The bodyguard quickly went out to check, and when he came back, his face looked somewhat hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

Thomas knew the personality of the people he had trained. Seeing him indecisive like this made him feel somewhat uneasy and surprised.

The bodyguard took a deep breath and said, "The person outside is Nanny Zhang. She heard that Mr. Ye is in the operating room and and she now is demanding to come in." Thomas had a big headache as soon as he heard that.

Nanny Zhang was Nathaniel's wet nurse. Although she screwed it up last time and was fired by Mango, Thomas still didn't send her out of Ocean City in the end. Instead, he found a vacant house under Ye Family and had settled her there.

Thomas knew about Nathaniel's feeling for Nanny Zhang. Although Nanny Zhang was a servant, Thomas tried his best to make Nanny Zhang live a better life. He didn't expect that he still caused trouble for Mango.

Thomas looked at Mango with some embarrassment. "Madam, I'm sorry, I..."

"Nathaniel just got into the hospital, but Nanny Zhang seems to be very well-informed. She actually immediately knew to come here to look for Nathaniel. She is really worried about Nathaniel." Mango's words made Thomas slightly stunned, and then he realized that something was wrong.

In order not to affect Nathaniel and Mango, Thomas deliberately settled Nanny Zhang in the remote suburbs. There were not many people there, but the air quality was very good. He even found two servants for Nanny Zhang to take care of her. Under normal circumstances, even if Nanny Zhang had got the news, it was impossible for her to come here so soon, leaving alone how she was able to know this so fast. Thomas' eyes changed a little.

"Madam, do you mean..."

"This is a hospital, and Nathaniel is still being rescued. I don't have the mood to deal with these things, and I don't want him to be disturbed. You can see what you can do." Mango was a little tired.

She knew that Nanny Zhang was suspicious, but Thomas was also being very thoughtful.

Nanny Zhang had been taking care of Nathaniel before he was able to walk. Of all these years, she was almost like a second mother to Nathanie. Although Nanny Zhang was not very friendly to her before, she was still doing this for Nathaniel's good, besides, she didn't know who she really was. Now since Nathaniel was lying in the emergency room for treatment, Mango really didn't want to have any conflict with Nanny Zhang, which would put Nathaniel in a dilemma.

In the past five years, she seemed to have put Nathaniel in many difficult situations. For her, Nathaniel was also willing to risk his life. This was enough for Mango.

As for Nanny Zhang, she would deal with her later. Now she really didn't have the energy to quarrel with her. Besides, Zion had just come back. She didn't want to do anything ugly in front of the child either. Thomas immediately understood what Mango had meant. He quickly turned around and went out. It didn't take long before the outside became quiet again.

Zion asked curiously: "Mommy, who is the person outside?"

"It's none of your business. Are you tired? If you're tired, you can sleep for a while. Mommy is here."

Seeing Zion keep yawning, Mango felt very distressed.

"No, I'm not tired. I want to wait for Mr. Ye to come out."

Although Zion said so, he couldn't open his eyes anymore. After the adventure of a day and a night, Zion was lying in Mango's arms at the moment, with his head sinking down from time to time. Seeing her son like this, Mango smiled slightly but she did not say anything. Instead, she held Zion in her arms and let him find a comfortable position to lie down. It would probably take some time before this child to change the way he addressed Nathaniel. Mango was not in a hurry, but she was afraid that Nathaniel would be angry. But this was already the best outcome, wasn't it?

Zion finally fell asleep, without any worry or fear, he slept well, but his small hands were still tightly grabbing Mango's collar. Obviously, he had been frightened after all.

Mango gently patted Zion on the back, giving him a little comfort. Not long after, Zion slept soundly.

Seeing that she looked tired, Thomas whispered: "Why don't you pass Young Master Zion to me? I'll hold him, you are too tired."

"No need."

After Zion had gone missing, the sadness Mango felt in her heart was beyond words. Now that she was holding her son's little body, she really wished she could keep holding him like this and never let him go for the rest of her life.

The hell was empty, since the devils were all alive on earth.

She never took the initiative to harm people and plotted against others, but she had become someone's eyesore just because she was Nathaniel's wife. She used to be alone and she didn't care that much, but now she had a child and her child was put in danger at the moment. Mango felt that she could not go on like this anymore.

She had someone she wanted to protect, so she couldn't allow herself to be bullied like before. She still understood that a mother should be strong for her children.

Zion had slept for a while, but before Nathaniel came out, Mango's cell phone rang.

In order not to affect her son's rest, she had to hand Zion to Thomas.

Thomas carefully watched Zion. When Mango saw the caller ID on the phone, she hurriedly took the phone and went to the corner of the stairs. "Abyss?"

"Have you found Zion?"

Abyss was very worried and his voice was a little hoarse. She could tell that he probably hadn't slept for the whole night.

As she thought of everything that Abyss had done for her and her children, Mango felt more or less guilty.

"Yes, I've found him, he is already asleep. Fortunately, there's nothing serious. He is just a little frightened."

Mango said in a low voice, pondering how she should talk to Abyss.

She knew about Abyss' feelings for her. In the past five years, she had been trying hard to make Abyss fall in love with other women, and she even introduced girlfriends to Abyss, but Abyss only cared about her and her children.

If she didn't have Nathaniel, she would probably fall in love with a man like Abyss Tang. However, there was always someone specific in the world of romance. Abyss let out a heavy sigh of relief when he heard that Zion was fine.

"Rita was in a bad mood yesterday. She said that she kept feeling that something bad had happened.

I could only comfort her, but the intuitive connection between the twins is something that can't be cut off. Fortunately, Zion is all right, so I feel relieved."

When Abyss mentioned Rita, Mango whispered: "Thank you for taking care of me and my children for these years, especially for Rita. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what to do. Abyss, I think..."

"If there's nothing special, I'll hang up first. I'm a little busy here."

Abyss interrupted her without waiting for Mango to finish her words. He knew what she was going to say. They had conversations like this for more than a hundred times in the past five years. Every time, he needed a lot of courage to keep him hanging in there.

After all, for a successful man like him being repeatedly rejected by a woman, his heart also became very vulnerable.

Mango knew that she had hurt Abyss again, so she said with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Abyss."

"Don't apologize to me. You know, I'm willing to do anything for you."

"But I can't let you continue to waste your time like this. Old Mrs. Tang has talked to me many times. Abyss, you're not young anymore. It's time for you to get married."

Mango knew that Abyss didn't like to hear this, but she had to say it. Before she accepted Nathaniel's love, it was already impossible for her to accept Abyss. It was not that Abyss was not good, instead, he was too good, so good that he made her ashamed. Such a man deserved to be treated wholeheartedly by a devoted woman, not a person like her, who loved another man and also had someone else's children to add to his burden.

Now that she knew that her feelings for him during the past five years had not changed at all, the position in her heart could only be filled by Nathaniel, and she could not waste Abyss' time anymore. Abyss couldn't stop Mango from saying these words in the end. He sighed and said, "Have you forgiven him?"

Mango was silent for a while and said, "What happened five years ago was a misunderstanding. He didn't know anything. He didn't live well in the past five years. Besides, the children need a father." "You know, I can be their father, as long as you agree."

There was a hint of sadness in Abyss' words. Mango's heart ached.

Her feeling for Abyss was like family. He was like her best brother, who could always give her warmth and care. But when she was with Abyss, she did not feel tempted.

Perhaps, at the first sight of Nathaniel, she had already given her heart to Nathaniel. She could no longer love other men in this world.

Whether Nathaniel was good or bad, loved her or not, her heart couldn't be taken back anymore.

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

Mango didn't know what else she could say except that she was sorry.

Mango knew that she owed too much to Abyss, she could never return his favor even for the rest of her life. Sometimes, she felt that she had been fooled by destiny. Since she had fallen in love with Nathaniel, why did she still meet such a perfect and good man like Abyss?

Abyss was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "Don't say sorry. Since you have accepted him, does that mean you will come over and take Rita away soon?"

Abyss naturally knew what kind of person Nathaniel was.

He was college classmates with Mango and Nathaniel. When he was in college, he already fell in love with Mango. Unfortunately, Mango fell in love with Nathaniel, so he could only give her a blessing.

He thought there was a chance five years ago and that God finally felt pity for him, but he didn't expect that these five years would also end up in vain.

He would be lying if he said he was not disappointed, but how could he take back his feelings?

Abyss sighed, but at the same time, he also felt sorry for Mango.

"If that guy bullies you in the future, you must tell me, I will never spare him."

"Abyss, thank you." Mango suddenly wanted to cry.

She had always thought that she was the most pathetic and miserable woman in the world, but now she found out that she was actually the happiest one.

"Don't cry. For the past five years, no matter what happened, I have never seen you cry. Sometimes, I really hope that you can cry in my arms. Unfortunately, you have always been so strong and you wouldn't

give me any chance. Maybe you only show your weakness in front of Nathaniel. Mango, no matter what choice you make, as long as you are happy, I will be happy."

After saying that, Abyss hung up the phone, but the corners of his eyes were already wet.

He still was not able to keep her eventually. Even for his goddaughter who he had been taking care of for the past five years, did that also mean she had to leave him? All of a sudden, a resentful feeling rose in his heart, that was a resentment against Nathaniel!
