The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

What exactly did she miss out?

Suddenly, a thought flashed across Mango's mind, but she couldn't figure anything out.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt sorry for her as an agonized frown marred her face.

"Well, let's just stop thinking about it now. Anyway, I'm sure that things will work out in the end, and we'll find out everything eventually."

"But Atlas has escaped. Although Lilian has her ways to get revenge, I think we can only find a breakthrough if we look for Atlas! Hence, I hope we could find him if possible. Well... I'm not sure whether Lilian will cooperate with us, though."

Mango let out a sigh as she said this.

Then, Nathaniel said, "I'll let my brother know about this tomorrow morning."

"Alright."

Mango nodded in reply, and then she realised that Nathaniel had addressed Maverick as his brother. Perhaps he had already acknowledged Maverick's identity.

It was late at night, so Nathaniel carried Mango on the bed. After that, they fell fallen asleep quickly as they had gone through so much that night.

The next day, Nathaniel woke up when the sun was shining through the windows.

Meanwhile, Mango was bathed in light as the sun shone on her. Thus, Nathaniel started to feel aroused when he saw her beautiful long eyelashes.

He then gave a peck on her cheek.

On the other hand, Mango felt a little ticklish, so she waved her hand and rolled to her side to continue sleeping.

Thus, Nathaniel could not help but smile at her childishness.

He felt blissful when he could wake up to Mango sleeping serenely by his side every morning. Therefore, he longed for these tranquil moments to last forever, even if it would cost him dearly. Then, Nathaniel got out from under the covers and tucked Mango in before leaving the room.

Right now, no one still knew that he had returned as they had kept this news a secret for now. Therefore, he quickly went to the kitchen before the rest were up. He then made something to eat and went back to his room.

"Good morning, daddy."

Wisdom stopped him just as he was about to enter the room.

He yawned as if he had just woken up, and he greeted his father innately with his unfocused eyes.

When Nathaniel saw this, he patted Wisdom's head gently and said softly, "Come and have breakfast."

"Okay."

Wisdom went blank for a moment before he realized that Nathaniel was holding breakfast in his hands, so he felt hungry instantly.

After that, both of them headed into the bedroom. Nathaniel then placed the food on the table and asked Wisdom, "Have you brushed your teeth?" "Not yet."

Wisdom had fully awakened and he continued, "I'll go back to my room and do it now. I'll be back soon."

"Go ahead then."

Nathaniel answered softly.

After that, Wisdom ran back to his room in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel shook his head in amusement and gently waked Mango up.

"Mango, wake up."

"No... let me sleep a little longer."

Mango muttered as she rolled over towards Nathaniel with her leg over the blanket. She then rubbed her face into the pillow like a kitten.

The hem of her nightgown was resting slightly above her knees, so it exposed her long and lean legs which glowed under the sun. Hence, Nathaniel's mouth started to water with desire when he saw this

scene.

"Hey! It's time to wake up for breakfast."

Nathaniel spoke in a hoarse voice, but Mango felt as though a bee was buzzing in her ear. She waved her hand and said, "Go away and let me sleep."

She said these words nasally like a whining child which further aroused Nathaniel.

Mango was playing with fire right now!

At this thought, Nathaniel gave up as he then cradled her face in his hand and kissed her.

Meanwhile, Mango was immediately awakened by the passionate kiss.

She opened her eyes and saw Nathaniel's face right in front of her. Then, she let out a groan before she got carried away by the pleasure.

Mango quivered in response. Just as she was about to lose all sense of control, Nathaniel abruptly stopped and got up from the bed. "What's wrong?"

Mango glared at Nathaniel as her entire body was aroused at that moment.

On the other hand, Nathaniel had almost given in under her sharp stare, but he replied softly, "Wisdom is coming to join us soon. Are you sure you want to continue?" Suddenly, Mango became wide awake when she heard Wisdom's name being mentioned.

She instantly pushed Nathaniel away and grumbled, "Urgh! Why did you do that since you knew that Wisdom was coming?"

"Well, I had no choice because I couldn't wake you up at all!"

Nathaniel smiled at her as he said this, and his eyes sparkled like diamonds. Therefore, Mango was stunned as she couldn't but be momentarily distracted by his gaze.

She had always known that Nathaniel was handsome, which was the reason she had fallen in love with him at first sight. As time passed, he had become more charming. Now, even the slightest smile on his face would take her breath away!

"Argh! Stop being a pervert! I'm going to wash up."

Mango then escaped and went into the bathroom.

Did she just call him a pervert?

Nathaniel chuckled as he pondered his actions, but he felt like he had done nothing wrong just now. After that, they were merely sharing intimate moments with each other as they were a legally married couple He let out a sigh as he stared down at his hard-on. Alas! He could not relieve himself in the bathroom as Mango was there. Therefore, he started to tidy up the room to prevent himself from losing control.

By the time Mango came out of the bathroom, Nathaniel had already finished cleaning, and the room looked neat and tidy.

"Wow, I must say that you're really capable, Mr. Ye! You've done all the servants' work! Are you planning to work as a servant in the future?" Mango poked fun at Nathaniel with a smirk.

Then, Nathaniel wrapped his arms around Mango's waist and breathed into her ear hoarsely, "Well, I'd love to be your personal servant." Mango felt a jolt of electricity pass through her entire body when she heard this, and her legs almost went limp.

Nathaniel had become an expert at seducing her!

"Knock it off!"

She could feel the lust that she had painfully suppressed slowly emerging again.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was well aware that he would suffer if he continued to play with fire.

He then released Mango and said softly, "You go ahead and eat first. I'm going to take a shower."

"Make sure you take a hot shower. Otherwise, you're going to catch a cold."

Mango glanced at him worriedly as she reminded him. After all, she was afraid that his warm body could not withstand the chill.

"All right."

Nathaniel then entered the bathroom. Meanwhile, Mango had warmed three glasses of milk just as Wisdom came back into the room. "Good morning, mommy."

Wisdom had already freshened up, and he was dressed smartly, so Mango couldn't help but feel a little upset.

"Good morning Wisdom. Come sit here and take your breakfast."

Mango called Wisdom to sit down, but he did not touch his food.

"What's wrong?"

Mango was a little surprised when she saw this.

Wisdom quickly answered, "Daddy is still in the shower. I'll wait for him to come out, and we'll eat together."

Mango immediately realized that Ye Family had taught him proper table manners.

At that point, Mango was impressed that Nathaniel had raised their son well for the past five years when she was not around.

"That's so sweet of you."

Mango caressed Wisdom's head and smiled gently.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was surprised when he came out from bathroom and saw that Mango and Wisdom had not eaten.

"What's wrong? Is the food not good?"

"We were waiting for you. Hurry up."

Mango noticed that Nathaniel's hair was damp, so she grabbed a towel and approached him.

"Sit down then."

After that, she pressed Nathaniel into the chair and dried his hair with the towel. He felt ecstatic as he took in her subtle and familiar scent.

Wisdom then handed the fork and spoon to Nathaniel.

"Let's sit down and eat."

Nathaniel tugged at Mango's hand and motioned her to take a seat, while Wisdom handed Mango the cutleries.

"Daddy, mommy, let's eat."

"Okay."

Nathaniel replied with a smile, and Wisdom started to eat.

Wisdom's table manners had always been excellent as he ate with elegance. Thus, Mango could not help but compare Rita's table manners with his.

Rita was such a glutton, so she could care less about table manners as long as food had been served.

Suddenly, Mango remembered that four of them had come here together, but only three of them were here. At this thought, Mango could not help but wonder, "Rita will be alright with Morgan, right?" Meanwhile, Nathaniel knew that she was worried about their daughter. He nodded and said, "Rita had gone out to gain exposure and gather experience. Don't worry, she'll be fine with Angela looking after her." On the other hand, Wisdom had come here to eat breakfast as he wanted to find out what Rita was doing recently too. Thus, he instantly felt relieved upon hearing Nathaniel's words.

The family of three enjoyed breakfast on a peaceful morning. After eating, Mango went to do the dishes. Meanwhile, Nathaniel did not stop her as it was inconvenient for him to go out when most of the people were up.

Mango was heading to the kitchen when she met Magnolia.

Magnolia's eyes appeared slightly swollen probably because she did not sleep well. However, she was surprised when she saw Mango carrying empty plates.

"Why are you..."

"Oh, I was a little hungry in the morning, so I made something to eat. Aunt Magnolia, what would you like to eat? I'll prepare some food for you."

Mango hurriedly replied.

Then, Magnolia stared at the cutleries in her hand.

Why was Mango holding three pairs of cutleries in her hands?

Meanwhile, Mango was aware of her aunt's suspicions. Her mind went blank for a moment before she smiled and said, "Wisdom is in my room. I accidentally dropped my fork and spoon and took another pair." "Wow! You got up so early. Anyway, I don't feel like eating. I'll go out for a walk instead."

Magnolia realized that Mango was not telling the truth, but she was not interested to probe further.

Everyone who was there had their intentions. As long as there was no conflict of interests, and their goals were the same, Magnolia could not care less about any other small details. Furthermore, Mango was her family, and she had not intended to be her enemy.

Upon hearing Magnolia's reply, Mango said with concern, "I'll find someone to go with you. It's not safe here."

"It's alright."

Magnolia waved her hand and left after saying that.

Then, Mango quickly sent the dishes to the kitchen.

People were already buzzing about outside at that hour.

They all greeted Mango when they came across her. Thus, Mango responded politely before returning to her room.

At that time, Nathaniel was reading a book while Wisdom was calculating something at the side.

If Atlas had not schemed the destruction of Longford County, perhaps they would be living a peaceful and blissful life in Ocean City at that moment.

Mango once again wanted the problem to be done with as soon as possible.

When Mango had returned, Nathaniel put down the book in his hand and said in a low voice, "We're going out in a bit."

"But I thought you didn't want others to know that you were back?"

Mango asked in surprise.

Nathaniel nodded and grinned with mischief.

"That's why you have to figure out how to get me out."

Mango felt distressed upon his reply. Then, she shook her head in disdain as she stared at Nathaniel's sly grin.

Urgh! Why did he have to behave so childishly sometimes?
