The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 219

"No, Mango, I've come back in the middle of the night. I won't mention the fact that you nearly froze me solid with the water, but you want me to sleep alone in an empty room? What the hell?"

Thus, Nathaniel felt very wronged.

Next, Mango paused. However, Wisdom quickly hugged Mango's arm and he said pitifully, "Mommy, I'm so cold. I'm sure Rita would be cold as well in the inner room."

"You're right."

Then, Mango thought of Rita. After that, she turned to Nathaniel and she said, "Go back to the room and sleep. I'm going to carry Rita out of there, it's too cold inside."

"No..."

Hence, Nathaniel felt quite somber.

Meanwhile, Wisdom hid in Mango's arms and he secretly stuck his tongue out to make a face at Nathaniel.

He deserved it!

After all, his father had been so fierce to him just now.

As he saw Wisdom's smug look, Nathaniel could not wait to drag this brat over and he wanted to beat him up.

Wisdom got out of Mango's arms after they entered the inner room.

"Mommy, I don't know if Rita caught a cold when she went out today. We have to take good care of her tonight."

This sentence made Mango's previously conflicted heart waver again.

Exactly.

Furthermore, her issue with Andrea was not resolved yet, and she had no idea how long that Rita had been gone. In addition to that, Mango did not know if Rita had caught a cold outside.

Originally, she had planned to accompany Nathaniel after coaxing the children. However, Mango really felt a little conflicted after she heard Wisdom's words.

Wisdom secretly laughed as he saw Mango's uncertain expression.

"That'll teach dad a lesson!" He thought.

"Hmph!"

"I won't let mommy go back tonight!"

Mango did not know about Wisdom's carefully laid-out plan.

Then, she carried Rita out and she found that Nathaniel was still there. Moreover, there was a hint of grievance in his eyes when he looked at Mango.

However, Mango quickly turned her head away and she did not dare to look at him. She particularly refused to look at the wound on Nathaniel's head which made her feel guilty.

But when she thought of her daughter, she gritted her teeth and she said, "Go back and rest. I will accompany Rita and Wisdom tonight. Don't catch a cold though."

After that, she quickly put Rita on the bed, albeit she was rather flustered. At the same time, she did not dare to look back at Nathaniel.

At this time, Wisdom secretly smiled when he saw Nathaniel's aggrieved look. Then he quickly said to Mango, "Mommy, my stomach hurts. Could it be that I ate too much at dinner earlier?"

"Huh? Your stomach is upset now? Let me have a look."

Mango quickly took him to a stool and she gently rubbed Wisdom's stomach. Then, she asked softly, "How does it hurt? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Nathaniel was worried as well, but when he met Wisdom's smirking eyes, he came to a sudden realization.

"Wisdom, how dare you..."

"Ouch! My stomach hurts so much."

Wisdom clutched his stomach as he collapsed into Mango's arms. He held Mango's arm tightly with his small hands as he groaned.

Clearly, this scared Mango a lot.

"I'll take you to a doctor right now."

"No, mommy, just hold me for a while and I'll be fine."

Wisdom hurriedly leaned deeper into Mango's arms.

At this time, Mango saw Wisdom's pitiful look and she thought that he was thinking of his mother. Moreover, Nathaniel had just reprimanded him earlier. Wisdom had good intentions, not only did he not get encouragement from Nathaniel, but he also got a load of criticism instead. Hence, Wisdom was in a bad mood.

As she thought of this, Mango glared at Nathaniel accusingly. She held Wisdom in her arms and she said softly, "Be a good boy, all right? It doesn't hurt anymore, does it? Here, mommy will soothe it for you." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Mommy, it hurts over here."

Wisdom grabbed Mango's hand and he draped it over his stomach.

"Oh wow, mommy's hand is so soft!"

As he looked at Wisdom's shameless expression, Nathaniel was extremely livid.

"Mango, this brat is just pretending. He..."

"Hurry on back and rest. Wisdom is tired too, and he's going to sleep soon."

Mango's voice was soft, which made Nathaniel even more somber.

When did it become so that he had to compete with his son for his wife?

Then, Nathaniel glared at Wisdom angrily, but Wisdom shouted again.

"Mommy, daddy is so fierce. Please make him leave, I'm scared! My stomach is hurting even more now."

"Wisdom!"

"Nathaniel!" Mango suddenly raised her voice. Obviously, she was pissed.

With that, Nathaniel knew there was no hope for him today as he saw Mango defend Wisdom.

This little brat!

Nathaniel gritted his teeth in hatred. However, he sighed and he said, "Fine, I'll go. Don't overexert yourself, you know that your body hasn't fully recovered. Sleep early and don't let this brat keep torturing you. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay."

Mango nodded and she felt a little guilty.

At the same time, she dared not look at Nathaniel. Hence, she quickly lowered her head and focused on taking care of Wisdom.

Naturally, Nathaniel could not trouble her when he saw Mango's current situation. With a sigh, she looked at Wisdom with some grumbling and saw that this brat was sticking her tongue out at him.

D*mn it!

The brat was seriously undermining his authority right now.

But for Mango's sake, he left even though he felt very aggrieved.

At that time, Mango was rather reluctant as she wanted Nathaniel to stay. However, she was afraid that Nathaniel and Wisdom would have further conflicts, so she could only watch Nathaniel leave for now.

As he saw Nathaniel leave, Wisdom then jumped out of Mango's arms and he said sheepishly, "Mommy, I'm all right. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore."

"Huh? It doesn't hurt anymore?"

With this, how could Mango not know what Wisdom was thinking? She dotingly embraced Wisdom again and she said in a low voice, "Mommy will cuddle you to sleep tonight okay?"

"Really?"

Wisdom was surprised and especially delighted.

Owing to the fact that Rita was unwell, Mango was already worn out from taking care of her. Hence, Wisdom usually told himself sensibly that it would be a burden if mommy took care of him as well.

However, this did not mean that Wisdom did not want Mango's embrace and warmth. Now that he heard Mango's words, he quickly threw himself into Mango's arms happily.

"Mommy, you're the best."

"Little brat, let's go! Mommy will tuck you into bed." After that, Mango carried him to bed.

However, Wisdom did not feel sleepy at all.

"Mommy, could you tell me a story?"

"You still want to hear a story?"

"Yep."

"Okay, which story would you like?"

Clearly, Mango doted on Wisdom very much.

"As long as mommy tells it to me, any story would be great." Wisdom was so silver-tongued that he could easily delight anyone's heart.

"Okay, mommy will tell you."

Mango chuckled and she told him a story as she patted Wisdom.

At first, Wisdom struggled to stay awake so he could accompany Mango a little longer. However, as he listened to the story, he could no longer fight off the sleepiness and he felt his eyelids become heavy. Soon after, the sound of his steady breathing filled the room.

Mango found that his sleeping face was adorable and she started to miss Zion. Unfortunately, she had no way to see him yet.

Then, she covered Wisdom with a quilt and she put him on the bed together with Rita.

In fact, her daughter did not wake up from her sleep at all since the beginning, and she knew nothing about what happened.

Mango sighed softly, but she suddenly felt that there seemed to be another person in the room.

She abruptly turned around and her waist was encircled by a pair of strong arms that pulled her into them.

"Ah!"

Mango let out a soft cry before someone covered her mouth.

"Shh, it's me."

It was not until Nathaniel's voice sounded that Mango felt relieved. "How did you get in? Didn't you go back and rest?"

"You still want to bring that up? You abandoned me in an empty room while I'm heavily injured for the sake of that little brat! How could you do this to me?"

Nathaniel spoke in an aggrieved tone.

At that, Mango burst into laughter.

"Didn't you just cut your forehead? Do you call that heavily injured? D*mn, you could be an actor in a movie with all that drama."

"I don't care. I demand compensation."

Nathaniel rubbed against Mango's body like a spoiled child, and his hands began to roam restlessly.

Nevertheless, Mango was flustered and she said in a low voice, "The children are here."

"Then let's go back to the room."

Clearly, Nathaniel was eager to have a private space with Mango.

However, Mango said with some hesitation, "Rita went out today and she worked up quite a sweat. I'm afraid that she'll catch a cold and get a fever during the night, so I don't feel comfortable about leaving her here."

Nathaniel's mood became somber when he heard Mango's words.

"You still have to comfort me."

"Ugh, stop acting like a child."

Mango felt that Nathaniel was getting increasingly childish these days.

However, Nathaniel did not care about what she thought. He whispered, "I'm not a child, but I'm your man. I rushed back in the middle of the night for you, but you treat me like this? Hmm?"

As he said this, he lowered his head and gently kissed Mango's soft lips. It felt like a feather's caress, and it made Mango's cheeks blush red.

As he watched her blush, Nathaniel could not resist lowering his head and he kissed Mango again.

Then, the two of them embraced each other as they kissed and the mood around them started to rose sharply.

After the kiss, both of them were out of breath.

Mango's face was like a delicate flower petal and her eyes were full of affection. Meanwhile, Nathaniel was filled with tenderness and he was also unusually clingy. If not for the children in the room and Mango's menstruation, they could have had a jolly good time.

Nevertheless, Nathaniel carried her horizontally and he placed her on a bed. Then, he removed his slippers before he got onto the bed and held Mango in his arms.

Mango struggled a little.

"This bed is small. It'll be uncomfortable for you to sleep here."

"It's okay. We'll cuddle together for warmth."

Nathaniel was unbothered by that and he hugged Mango tightly. However, Mango could feel the tension and discomfort in his body, but alas, she could not help relieve him. She whispered, "Do you want to ease yourself?"

"Let's sleep!"

Nathaniel responded in a gruff voice. It was obvious that he wanted to avoid this topic.

At that, Mango smiled and she said nothing more. Then, she leaned against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. Suddenly, she felt very reassured.

"When I came back, the bodyguards outside were all gone. Plus, you and Wisdom came up with such a plan. What on earth happened?"

Initially, Nathaniel did not intend to ask. However, the bodyguards outside had not returned and that made him somewhat concerned.

Thus, Mango did not hold anything back and she told Nathaniel about the phone message as well as the mistake she made in the afternoon by accusing Andrea of acting as a spy.

Then, Nathaniel's brows furrowed deeply as he heard this.

"You are way too bold. Why didn't you tell me? What if something happened to you or the children?"

"I was afraid that my phone was being tapped. Plus, I had no idea how to send the message to you. After that, I spotted a suspicious person who was lurking around so I naturally went to investigate. There was a silhouette that passed by the door before you came back. That's why the bodyguards weren't at their posts." When Mango said this, Nathaniel's expression suddenly became grave.

"Who was it?"
