The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 223

It was cruel and heartless!

Was he talking about her?

Mango felt that she could not stand it.

"Abyss, you can't say that. You know that I've always remembered how kind you were to me."

"Then tell Nathaniel to let the Tang family go free. Would you please come back to me? I can forgo the children, and I'll treat you well just like the past five years. Also, I'll treat you even better than Nathaniel, just come back to me, will you?"

Abyss's voice suddenly softened, and it carried a hint of pleading.

He had completely put down his pride and his previous gentlemanliness. Nevertheless, Mango felt absolutely distressed.

"The love relationship would require the feeling of both persons and it can't be forceful. Abyss, I just think of you as my brother and a friend."

"No matter how you put it, you're still reluctant to leave him, right? Why do you still love him? No matter how he treated you or whether the fire hurt you five years ago, you’re still stubbornly going to stay with him, am I right?"

The volume Abyss's voice abruptly rose and it was fear-inducing.

It was as if his body had been possessed by a demon and he had become irrational. Then, Mango took a deep breath and she said, "Abyss, my feelings for Nathaniel have never changed. Even if I suffered during the fire incident, it was all a misunderstanding and this has nothing to do with him."

“Ha, as if it had nothing to do with him! If he really had nothing to do with it, you wouldn’t have been burned in the fire right? If he didn't toy with other people’s feelings, would you have been affected? Yes, you hate me for what I did to Rita. But haven’t you thought about who caused Rita to be sick in the first place? Isn’t it Nathaniel’s fault? If he was truly capable of protecting both of you, did I need to come to your aid? Now that you're in love with him, of course, Nathaniel can do no wrong. Don't you think Master Yan's disappearance had something to do with him?"

"What do you mean?"

Mango's heartrate suddenly rose.

"Did you say that something had happened to Master Yan?"

"Haha, don't tell me that you don't know."

Abyss's sarcastic words made Mango very uncomfortable.

"Tell me, what happened to Master Yan?"

"Why don't you ask Nathaniel, your perfect husband, about what he did to Master Yan?"

Abyss' words made Mango’s worries resurface again.

"It's impossible! Nathan doesn't even know Master Yan at all. What's more, he has no bad blood with her, why would he look for Master Yan then?"

"Do you really want to know? I’ll tell you everything if you come alone to this address. Mango, you know very well how I’ll treat you, right?"

After that, Abyss hung up the phone immediately.

Mango's hands were shaking upon hearing the words.

Could what Abyss said to be true?

No way!

It couldn't be!

Nathaniel did not even know Master Yan and there was no reason for him to see her!

Mango tried her best to convince herself that she should trust Nathaniel. Besides, she had never asked Nathaniel about this matter at all, had she?

As she thought of this, Mango took a deep breath. The moment she decided to look for Nathaniel, Abyss sent her the address where they would meet.

Mango was a little hesitant but she ignored it and she went straight back into the ward.

With Nathaniel's coax and comfort, Rita had fallen asleep but there were still tears at the corners of her eyes. Obviously, the girl had cried before she fell asleep.

As she thought of Andrea's aggressive declaration, Mango was a little worried.

As Wisdom saw Mango return, he spoke softly, "Daddy, I’ll stay here with Rita. Mommy seems tired, so you should go and accompany her." Nathaniel noticed that Mango was indeed exhausted and he quickly stood up.

"What's wrong? Did that crazy b*tch harass you?"

It seemed that there was a hint of worry and annoyance in his eyes.

After that, Mango shook her head and she said, "Let's go out for a walk."

"Okay!"

Nathaniel picked up his coat and he draped it over Mango's body.

Mango sensed Nathaniel's presence and she did not say anything. Then, she walked out of the room with him with a complicated look in her eyes.

Nathaniel thought that Mango was still bothered by Andrea's words and he hurriedly explained, "Well, I don't know who Andrea is. She just barged in while Rita and I were playing, but Rita seemed to dislike her and the both of them quarreled. So, I only spoke a little before you and Wisdom showed up. There really is nothing between us though."

After she listened to Nathaniel's explanation, Mango nodded and she said, "I know."

"Don't overthink it. I’ II never interested in that woman."

Nathaniel held Mango's hand only to find that her palm was sweaty and her hand was a little cold.

"Are you cold because you stayed too long outside? How about we go back to our room, hmm?”

"There's no need for that."

Mango shook her head. Next, she looked at Nathaniel in front of her and she could feel his sincerity towards her. In fact, he took care of her the same way that he would cherish a treasure.

So, how could she still have a deep suspicion about this man?

It was the first time she had seen Nathaniel looked so angry since their reunion.

"So, Abyss was the one who told you about that right? Did he call you? That’s not right... I changed your phone number earlier so it was you who called Abyss! You would rather believe his words over mine? Even if he hurt Rita, you still can't let go of his saving grace, can you? Then, did he tell you that I've attacked the Tang family? Did he ask you to go back to him?"

Nathaniel's voice was gruff. Obviously, he was trying his best to rein his temper in, but everything he asked was what Abyss had said to her just now.

"Are you spying on me?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel in disbelief.

At this, Nathaniel's gaze became disappointed.

"Mango, you'd better realize what the hell you just said."

After that, Nathaniel turned around and left.

Mango looked at him as he left, and she suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

"Nathaniel, what do you mean?"

"I’m the one that should be asking that question. Are your loyalties wavering between me and Abyss? Or are you only together with me because of the children? I want you, Mango, I really do. But if you feel that Abyss is innocent or that I'm wrong for plotting against him, just tell me and I'll back off. I'll fulfill your love and affection for Abyss."

Nathaniel's words made Mango feel very distressed.

"Don't you know what kind of relationship I share with Abyss? Nathaniel, you're a b*stard!"

"Indeed I am a b*stard. I've never been sure what you're feeling for me now is what you felt five years ago. Plus, I never knew how important Abyss is to you until now. Just a few words from him could make you suspect me this much, so, what more can I say?"

Hence, Nathaniel suddenly felt lonely.

Furthermore, his charming onyx eyes were full of disappointment. After taking a long look at Mango, he turned around and left without saying anything else.

Mango suddenly felt that the air around her had become much colder.

What was wrong with her?

Did she suspect Nathaniel just because of Yetta's disappearance?

Nathaniel's coat was still on her shoulders and his warmth lingered on it, but Mango's heart hurt so much that she felt like dying.

Then, Andrea came out of nowhere. As she saw Mango's reaction, she whispered, "Turns out that you really didn't lie to me."

However, Mango did not want to talk to her nor did she want to know how long Andrea had been there or how much she heard. Right now, her heart was in shambles.

Nevertheless, Andrea did not care whether Mango listened to her or not. She continued, "Since you can't love Nathaniel wholeheartedly and you have another man in your heart, then just go after that man. How about you let me have Nathaniel instead?"
