The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1548

Nathaniel seemed to have sensed that Mango was approaching him. He thought that she was feeling a little under the weather, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you unwell? Why don't you go back and wait for the news?"

"No need for that."

Mango shook her head hurriedly.

Another half an hour passed, but there was still no news from Marcelo. Nathaniel looked at the sky outside and said to the other people, "Take Marcelo's parents to the hotel and leave a couple of men here to wait for him. Take him to the hotel to meet us as soon as he comes back here."

"Okay, Mr. Ye."

Nathaniel took Mango back to the hotel.

He felt like a fool now. How could he stand there and wait for nothing? He wasn't considerate toward Mango's current physical condition at all.

Nathaniel ordered a jug of hot water and poured a cup for Mango before he asked her if she was hungry.

Mango did not have any appetite because she was worried about Deborah and Walter. However, when she saw Nathaniel's concerned expression, she forced herself to eat some food.

She thought he was just helping Carlson out. Who knew that Walter would be involved in this? Where on earth was Weston?

Nathaniel knew about Mango's worries. Right now, he didn't have any good ways to cheer her up. He could only comfort her and let her rest for a while.

Then he went to the balcony and called Carlson.

"What's the matter?"

Carlson was not in a good mood either.

Tessa was repulsed to even be near him after what she had experienced for the past few years. Furthermore, Tessa no longer had her previous happiness and confidence. It was as if she was shrouded in an air of gloominess. She was now hiding in a shell and refused to come out. Carlson was left helpless about how to help her.

Thanks to Sissaye's presence, the two of them didn't feel awkward or strange when interacting with each other. However, Carlson knew that he wasn't part of Tessa's plans for the future.

He was heartbroken because of this. He even felt upset.

He was actually a little relieved to receive Nathaniel's phone call now that he was feeling depressed.

Nathaniel knew that Carlson wasn't very polite when he spoke, but he didn't mind. After all, he was also feeling sad now, so he said, "I want to keep Marcelo alive."

"Give me a reason."

Carlson was frowning slightly.

In his opinion, it was kind of him not to kill Marcelo with his own hands. How could Nathaniel plead for the latter's life now?

"He might be able to help me find Walter and Deborah. He could even find out if Susan had any contact with Javion last time."

Nathaniel told him everything he knew from Marcelo.

Carlson frown went deeper.

He knew Javion very well. Hence, when he heard that the latter was involved, he couldn't help but say angrily, "Javion is really a pain in the a*s. Maybe he was the one who intervened in the matter of the Longford County back then. Although I have no evidence, I have a hunch that he has something to do with the incident in Longford County and also what happened to Laborn and Atlas. Now that Desmond and his companions are missing, the incident in the lab business may also be his doing."

"These are just your speculations. Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, we can't do anything even if we find him. Besides, we don't know where he is now. So Marcelo is the key to everything. His life is worthless. Although he had Tessa and her daughter badly these years, he can still make himself useful, can't he?"

Carlson was a little depressed upon hearing Nathaniel's words, but he also knew that the latter was telling the truth.

"I can spare his life, but he should never show up in front of me."

This was the maximum concession Carlson could offer.

"That's settled then."

Nathaniel did not expect Carlson to really spare Marcelo's life, but if Nathaniel really wanted to save someone, he had many ways to hide that person from Carlson.

After the call ended, Nathaniel returned to his room. He saw Mango sleeping on a chair.

After giving birth, Mango's health had improved a little. However, it had been a tiring journey so far. Moreover, coupled with Deborah's incident, it was only normal that Mango was weak and exhausted.

Nathaniel took her to the bed and tucked her in.

Even though she had fallen asleep, she still had a frown on her face.

Nathaniel heaved a sigh and lay down beside her. No matter what, he had to have enough rest in order to protect her in their next move.

The two of them stayed asleep for a long time. When there was a knock on the door, Nathaniel opened his eyes abruptly. He found that it was dark inside the house. It was already nightfall.

He took a look at his watch. It was already two o'clock in the morning. Meanwhile, Mango was obviously still asleep. It seemed that she was really exhausted.

Nathaniel got out of bed lightly. Once he opened the door, he saw Marcelo.

Marcelo seemed a little tired, but there was also a hint of joy on his face. It was a weird feeling to look at him.

When he saw Nathaniel looking at him, his face reddened a little as he said in a low voice, "Weston went back pretty late. In order not to arouse his suspicion, I slept with him for a while. That's why I was late."

Nathaniel didn't understand what he said at first. After all, he was straight, so he didn't think much about it. Then he immediately understood what happened from the look on Marcelo's face.

"Where's Weston now?" "I drugged him. He is in the casino lounge now. I came here to tell you to send two people with me. I couldn't get him out myself."

Nathaniel nodded slightly at Marcelo's words.

He patted two bodyguards and they left with Marcelo.

Nathaniel couldn't fall asleep again.
