The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 237

Mango's ears perked up when she heard Queena's words.

"Aunt Xiao, do you really know Dennis? It means you know the Hans family then?"

However, Queena did not say anything else. Instead, she put down her chopsticks before she said in a low tone, "Take your time. I'll head upstairs first."

"Aunt Xiao..."

Mango felt that she might have been rude when she saw Queena acting like this. However, it seemed that Queena really had a connection with the Hans family.

Then if she and Dennis's girlfriend were sisters, did she know what happened to the illegitimate child of the Hans family?

In fact, that was the only thing that Madam Hans was concerned about these days. Hence, it would be great if she found out the truth, but that depended on whether Queena was willing to talk about it.

However, with Queena's current state, it was obvious that she did not want to reveal it.

Mango felt that she should not have asked Queena so directly just now.

She looked at the food on the table and she found that it was barely eaten. Ah, it was all her fault.

Because of that, Mango no longer had the desire to Next, she cleared away the food before she cleaned up the kitchen.

Now that Queena had locked herself in the room, and Mango had nothing else to do. Furthermore, Mango could not leave the house because it would be disastrous if someone discovered her here.

Not only would she implicate Queena if that happened, but Nathaniel as well.

Then, Mango looked at the empty house and she felt a little lonely.

No wonder there was always a trace of sadness in Queena's paintings. Mango reckoned that anyone would be lonely if they lived in a house like this for a long period of time.

Mango went to the tea-table to inspect her design drafts. Honestly, it seemed that this was the only thing she could do now.

She sat down again and began to draw.

Earlier, the Tang family had taken back the sole rights to the joint car development between themselves and the Ye family, but the Ye family had gained nothing. Since she was now the madam of the Ye family as well as Nathaniel’s wife, it would be a good idea to design some car-patterns for their company.

After that, Mango put all her energy into creating her designs.

After some time, Queena came out of the room.

Queena felt as if she was looking at her past self when she saw Mango's diligent expression. In fact, she used to struggle a lot and she worked very hard to make a better living through painting. However, she did not expect to lose her lover after she successfully changed her life.

As Queena leaned against the stairs, her vision blurred as tears welled up in her eyes.

Dennis!

As she looked back, it had been more than 20 years since then. When Queena heard Dennis's name again, she thought she could be calm but she did not expect that her heart still hurt so much.

When Dennis left back then, he had been so decisive about it. Furthermore, he did not even have the opportunity to tell her about his decision personally. Then, he joined the military without looking back and Queena never saw him again.

Nearly 30 years had passed since then and Dennis had already died a long time ago, but Queena was still heartbroken when she heard his name.

Why did it turn out like this?

Then, Queena's mind was complicated as she looked at Mango, who was still drawing.

This girl was connected to the Hans family, and she even had a good relationship with them. So, should Queena continue to let her stay in the villa?

Queena's emotions started to unravel uncomfortably before she finally sighed and left the villa.

Meanwhile, Mango did not aware that Queena had left since she was very focused on her designs. Then, she realized it was noon after she finished her designs.

In fact, Mango was rather hungry. Hence, she went to the kitchen to make some food before she went to invite Queena downstairs to dine together. Only then did she realize that Queena was not at home.

Mango didn’t even know when Queena had left.

With that, Mango felt that she might have really hurt Queena earlier.

Why had she suddenly asked that question?

Nevertheless, it didn't feel right to Mango either if she kept the question to herself.

After that, Mango portioned away some food for Queena before she went back to modify her designs.

The day passed quickly. However, Mango didn’t know where to find Queena because she had not returned yet. So, she put some finishing touches on her design drafts before she used a fax machine to send it over to the HY Group's design department.

The design department would only implement it after they received Nathaniel’s approval. After that, they would put it into production as well as applying for a patent.

Then, Mango called Nathaniel and told him about Queena. At first, Nathaniel was a little surprised but he told her not to act rashly and they would discuss it further after they went home.

"Even if I wanted to act rashly, I can't. Aunt Xiao's went out and she hasn't come back yet."

Truth be told, Mango was a little annoyed. On the other hand, Nathaniel said worriedly, "She won't reveal your location, will she?"

"That's impossible because there’s no reason for her to do that. In fact, I think that she's very kind and she reminds me of my mother. Speaking of this, I don't know if my mom's arrived home yet."

As he heard Mango's words, Nathaniel replied in a low voice, "They're already home. Terrance called me earlier and he told me that everyone's arrived at Ocean City and they're under his protection now."

"Doesn't Nanny Zhang live with the Hans family? Wouldn’t it be a problem if she saw your mom?"

Only now did Mango think of this issue.

"Nanny Zhang's run away," Nathaniel replied.

"What?"

"Terrance told me that Nanny Zhang fled on the second day after we left the homeland and no one knows where she is. However, the Ye family is in a mess right now, and several directors of the company seem restless. So, we have to hurry back after dealing with this issue as soon as possible, otherwise, the Ye family will really be in deep sh*t."

At the same time, Nathaniel felt immense pressure as several bad things happened the same time. However, he suspected that Abyss was the mastermind behind all this.

Mango was very anxious but she could not do anything about it right now.

"D*mn it, if I still had my identity, then it wouldn’t be pointless for me to go back." "It's okay and I'll handle it. Don't worry."

Nathaniel comforted Mango.
