The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 221

Mango felt that she had become rather shameless. If not, how could she let Nathaniel do whatever he wanted at any time and place? Moreover, the previous incident still lingered in her mind and she would never let Rita see them doing that again.

As she thought of this, Mango quickly pushed Nathaniel away.

"Don't make a fuss. Rita will be out soon."

She whispered as she was afraid of being heard by the two children inside.

However, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "What are you afraid of? They'll take some time before they come back."

"No way."

Nevertheless, Mango did not want to make a fool of herself.

On the other hand, Nathaniel could not stop himself.

Then, as the two of them became tangled once again, Wisdom interrupted and he put on a jaded expression, "Ahem, I think Grandma said last time you guys should not do something in front of us, right?"

Then, this sentence made Mango's cheeks flush.

Nathaniel glared at him fiercely but Wisdom did not bother at all.

"And also, just to remind you both that Rita is conning out soon."

Clearly, he tried to threaten Nathaniel with all his might.

Nathaniel felt he was now living increasingly to be threatened by a little kid, and he became more pathetic nowadays. Moreover, he had just been threatened by a little brat, who was once so afraid of him.

Indeed, this was quite depressing.

However, Mango did not care about what Nathaniel thought. Instead, she was afraid that Rita would be displeased with her. The little girl was very possessive of Nathaniel, and Mango did not know if it stemmed from her lack of fatherly love since her childhood. Hence, now that Rita had suddenly gained a father, she could not help but be so possessive of him that even her mother had been neglected.

As he noticed that it bothered Mango so much, Nathaniel no longer had his earlier impulses.

Then, he tidied up Mango's clothes before he turned to prepare the cutleries for Wisdom and the others.

Mango breathed a sigh of relief but she was a little disappointed.

She looked at Nathaniel who seemed to be completely unfazed. On the other hand, she was aroused that her legs seemed to be weak and her cheeks were red. It seemed like she was the only one who was affected, and that was a feeling that she could not describe fully.

Mango was a little confused about herself. It was perhaps she had become preposterous and she wanted more intimacy after becoming aware of Nathaniel's feelings.

Then, she shook her head and she planned to clear these messy thoughts out of her mind. Hence, she spotted Rita as she came out and the little girl immediately gazed towards Nathaniel.

As she saw that Nathaniel was placing chopsticks for her, she ran happily toward him.

"Daddy, I'll do it myself."

Rita then straight ran over to Nathaniel and she passed Mango without sparing a glance at her.

This was a huge blow to Mango's psyche.

Was her daughter completely ignoring her now?

However, Nathaniel picked Rita up and he put her on his lap dotingly before he said with a smile, "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

"Did daddy make all these?"

Then, Rita raised her head and she looked at Nathaniel with admiration.

"Of course."

In fact, Nathaniel had never thought that cooking was a thing to be proud of. However, as he saw his daughter's admiring gaze, he suddenly felt that the cooking skills he had learned out of boredom were not in vain.

"Daddy, you're awesome!"

Rita was not stingy with her praise at all and she even gave Nathaniel a sweet kiss.

The more Mango thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

How could her precious baby that she had taken care of for the last five years suddenly ignored her?

Wisdom shook his head as he looked at Rita and Nathaniel. After that, he got off his chair and came to Mango, "Mommy, it's okay. I'll eat with you. I'm a gentleman after all, unlike some people who are 'out with the old, in with the new'."

Wisdom emphasized the last few words louder.

At that, Nathaniel paused for a moment and his face was rather somber.

"Wisdom, you need to learn idioms better. What do you mean by 'out with the old, in with the new'? Go and write down the meaning of the idiom for me."

Thus, Wisdom's elfin face instantly contorted.

Did he use the wrong idiom again?

Wasn't it 'out with the old, in with the new'?

Wisdom took Mango's hand and he sullenly returned to the dining table.

Meanwhile, Rita was obviously very happy. This was because Nathaniel constantly spoiled her when she was in his arms.

On the other hand, Mango felt neglected badly. Nevertheless, she could not be jealous of her own daughter.

Then, Wisdom picked up a piece of cake and he put it in Mango's bowl. He said, "Mommy, have a taste of this. It's very delicious."

"Thank you, Wisdom." Mango finally felt comforted.

She stroked Wisdom's head and she began to eat.

As he noticed that Mango was far away from the potatoes, Nathaniel picked up some for her. Unexpectedly, Rita immediately said, "Daddy, I wanna have some too."

"Alright, here you are."

Mango suddenly felt that her daughter was somewhat hostile to her.

How could that be?
