The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 494

Since Mango couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it.

"Things like this will slowly come to light. You've just returned, so don't think too much about it. Why don't we rest for a while since you're so tired? We'll look into this once you feel better tomorrow."

Mango comforted Nathaniel.

However, how could he sleep when it was just eight o'clock?

Nathaniel put her hands in his embrace and he said, "Do you know? All I've wanted to do for the past eight days is hold you in my arms. We don't have to do anything except talk. We could chat about our kids, our future, anything."

"What do you want to talk about? Go on!"

Mango snuggled up beside Nathaniel and she felt extremely content.

She had no idea how long her body could last, nor how much time the toxins in her body would afford with Nathaniel and her family. However, Mango felt that it was worth it if she could spend every day in bliss like this.

Nathaniel kissed the top of her head and he said, "Thank God for putting you in my life."

"What are you saying?"

"It's true, that's what I think. Let's go visit the Hans family tomorrow."

Nathaniel's words caused Mango to be slightly taken aback.

"The Hans family?"

"Yes, let's go visit them tomorrow!"

Nathaniel looked over at Mango and he said, "Madam Hans was drugged just like me. Plus, John was the originator of the drug, and Nick was supposed to have custody of him. After Susie and Andrea escaped, Walter has captured Susie, but what about Andrea? I don't know if Nick still has John in his custody, and I want to check about it. Yet, I was afraid that Nick would resent me as it would seem like I didn't trust him."

Truth be told, Nathaniel was feeling a little conflicted.

If it weren't for today's events, maybe he could have found a reason to check in on John. However, the plan was put on hold after his fight with Nick.

"Right now, we can only go to the Hans family and see if there are any clues to be found there. Although Andrea is gone, there might be some traces of evidence left."

Mango frowned slightly.

To be honest, she didn't really want to see the Hans family.

It was due to Madam Hans as well as the bad memories associated with them. However, Mango knew it was unavoidable once she heard Nathaniel's idea.

"All right, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Do you feel uncomfortable with the idea of visiting the Hans family?"

Nathaniel looked at Mango and he understood what she was thinking instantly.

Mango smiled and she replied, "It's not like I'm extremely uncomfortable, but I just don't feel like going there. But since we are looking for proof, then I have no issue about the plan."

"Sorry to trouble you."

"Not at all."

After they chatted for a while, both of them felt quite tired.

Nathaniel's body had just recovered, while Mango's was still weak, so they weren't as robust as regular people.

Nathaniel hugged Mango as she yawned. He said, "Take a rest."

"About the kids..."

"Mom and Lucy are there, so don't worry. Just sleep."

Nathaniel's words reassured Mango.

That's right. This was the Ye's Mansion, and their safety could be guaranteed.

As she thought of this, Mango found a comfortable spot in the crook of Nathaniel's neck before falling asleep.

Nathaniel had also been exhausted over the past eight days, and he fell into a deep sleep as he embraced his wife.

Meanwhile, Rita pestered Wisdom into telling her stories.

Of course, he did not refuse any request from Rita.

On the other hand, Zion shook his head before saying, "Why do I feel like you two are the actual twins instead?"

"Are you jealous?"

Rita shook her head pridefully.

However, Zion couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

Fortunately, Rita was naughty and clingy, and she'd tired herself out by eight-thirty.

"Zion, I'm so sleepy!"

Rita leaned on Zion's shoulder before putting her entire weight on him.

Zion looked over at her and he said in a low voice, "Rita."

"Hm?"

Rita was half- asleep and she answered sleepily when Zion called her name.

Zion gazed at her while muttering, "If I'm not home, take care of our family, okay?"

"Got it."

Rita agreed unconsciously.

After that, Wisdom quickly called for Lucy to take Rita to her room.

When Zion and Wisdom were left alone in the room, Wisdom was a little hesitant.

"Are we going to sneak away like this? Our parents will be worried."

"Are you going to stay and get hit by your father? Are you going to make my Mommy sad by seeing your injuries? If we can succeed by ourselves, your Daddy will never beat you again."

Zion's words made Wisdom frown.

He really couldn't bear Nick's harsh treatment any longer.

"But if we leave, there won't be any guys left in the Ye family."

"There's still Mr. Ye, right? He's still young, and he can keep going for many more years. Hurry up and leave a note! We need to rest and leave by midnight."

"All right!"

Zion quickly ducked behind the trash can.

In the meantime, the surveillance footage had returned to normal.

The captain was a little puzzled and he hurriedly spoke into the radio, "Did you find anything?"

"Nothing, sir. It could be that the wind caused a temporary short- circuit in the system. If someone had tampered with it, it shouldn't be back online this soon."

Despite that, the captain was still uneasy.

"Look around and see if you find anything suspicious."

"Yes, sir!"

The security guards began to search the area quickly.

Meanwhile, Wisdom and Zion tried their best to stay silent as they held hands.

What were they going to do? Even with the trash can, they would still be discovered if the guards came looking.

Could it be that their perfect escape plan was doomed to fail?

Zion's brows were etched into a deep frown.

He was more nervous than Wisdom.

As the guards drew closer, both of them held their breaths.

Just then, a stray cat jumped out of the trash can with a loud meow before rushing past the guards.

"Gosh, that scared me! Turns out it is just a cat."

The security guard was shocked and he patted his chest to calm himself down.

The other was obviously shocked as well, but he said in a low voice, "This area is a little out of bounds, and everything past this trash can is out of the Ye family's compound. Perhaps we were too jumpy. Come on, let's head back! It's way too cold out here."

"You're right. The captain's just making a big fuss out of nothing. Who would dare touch the Ye family now?"

As the two security guards spoke, they turned to walk in the direction from which they came.

Meanwhile, Zion and Wisdom nearly collapsed to the ground.

That was close!

They were nearly being caught!

Zion and Wisdom exchanged a silent look before they laughed.

"Let's go! There's a world out there waiting for us to explore!"

Zion said in an excited tone as he pulled Wisdom up.

With Zion by his side, Wisdom was not afraid of anything and he beat on his chest, "I'm going to live my best life!"

"Of course! Let's go!"

Zion took hold of Wisdom's hand. Under the cover of night, the two children left the Ye's Mansion fearlessly as they marched towards a grand tomorrow.
