The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 264

Upon seeing her confused looks, Nathaniel had no idea how to tell Mango that she was not biologically related to the parents in the Shen family. However, he still had to tell her anyway since Queena had sacrificed too much for Mango's sake.

As she saw Nathaniel' s conflicted expression, Mango whispered, "Is there something going on in the meantime that I don't know about?"

"Do you still remember who took you away from Minister Xiao's house?"

In fact, Nathaniel was unwilling to mention Andrea, but in the end, he had no choice as there was no way he could hide this from Mango.

"I do."

Mango didn't react much when the subject of Andrea came up. She never really liked Andrea, but Mango understood why Andrea had given her to Abyss in the first place. In fact, Andrea's only redeeming quality was that she was not purely evil and that she hadn't done anything worse to Mango, but Mango still disliked her anyway.

Nathaniel smiled wryly at Mango' s disdain of Andrea and he said, "In fact, you two are sisters."

"What?"

Mango thought that she had mistakenly heard what Nathaniel said.

"My parents only have one daughter, which is me, and they’ve never even stayed in the United States. Andrea and I have nothing to do with one another, so would you quit joking around?”

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Nathaniel sighed helplessly before he told Mango about her parents taking a DNA test after Mango had disappeared. At the time, he was indirectly telling Mango the fact that she had no blood relation with her parents.

Everything that came afterward was easier to explain, as Mango knew about the issue of Dennis. However, Mango was suddenly the main character of this story.

Mango remained silent for a long time after she finished listening to what Nathaniel had to say, and he did not push her to accept the fact as well. Instead, he just held her in his arms as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.

Mango finally spoke after a long time passed.

“Have you confirmed that I’m a child of the Hans family?”

“Queena did a maternity test earlier, do you remember that you drew a blood sample at the embassy?”

The memory popped into Mango’ s head as Nathaniel said this.

She nodded.

So, it seemed like all this was true.

Mango's emotions were rather calm. She had always felt close to Queena but she never expected that woman to be her mother.

Mango didn't know what to say as she thought of all the hardship that Queena had suffered all this time. Although Mango knew that Queena was her mother now, some bond couldn't be built overnight nor could they be strengthened just because they were biologically related.

Then, she sighed and said, "Do my parents know?"

"They only found out just now, but they got rather flustered about it."

"I will always be my parents' daughter."

Mango' s tone was determined, and Nathaniel understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, Madam Hans has already said that you can keep your surname, so you'll still be called Mango Shen as well as part of the Shen family. But the Hans family will apply for your identification. As for the matter of returning to your ancestral roots, that's up to you."

Mango felt a lump form in her throat when she heard Nathaniel say this.

She didn't expect that the Hans family would be so open-minded about this.

Although the Hans family was her true family, the Shen family had taken care of her for the past twenty years. They had given her love and warmth, and without them, Mango wouldn't be who she was today.

The Hans family, the Shen family as well as Queena were now connected through Mango. Although this relationship was unique, it was quite acceptable.

Thus, Mango took this fact in stride.

Then, she muttered, "Please take care of them for me as I can't leave for the time being."

"Won't you go back to see Rita? She might have to undergo the surgery tomorrow, and Zion is back as well. Why not you come home with me to see them just for a while?"

Nathaniel knew how much Mango missed her children, but she was willing to go through so much trouble to stay put for the sake of Nathaniel and the Ye Family.

Of course, Mango was eager to return home as well.

Furthermore, she hadn't seen that little brat Zion in a very long time.

Over the past five years, the two of them had been inseparable, so how could she not miss him when they were suddenly separated for such a long time? However, her plans would be ruined if she left and the people spying on her would discover her intentions. In the end, her plan to use herself to lure them out was in vain.

If the secret mastermind behind all this was not dealt with, Zion, Rita, and Nathaniel would all be in danger.

Honestly, Mango could not bear witnessing her children be kidnapped or disappeared again.

Mango wanted to be strong enough to protect her children, but at the same time, she couldn't be the one who put her children in danger.

After careful consideration, Mango muttered, "I believe that they'll be safe as long as you’re here, right?"

"I can guarantee their safety, but what about yours? Mango, I can't take care of both of you at the same time, so how about I have the Hans family..."

"I'll manage it by myself."

Mango interrupted Nathaniel's words in time to prevent the Hans family from helping her.

"Nathan, there are some things that we should keep within the Ye family, so there's no room for others to interfere. I still remember that you wanted to marry me again, so how about you marry me once again in front of everyone in Ocean City after this is all over?”

"Very well!"
