The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 309

Nathaniel's brows furrowed as he looked down at his phone and he saw that Terrance was the one who was calling him.

Then, he took a furtive glance at Rita before he answered the call.

"Nathaniel, you should get here as soon as possible. There's something wrong with Nanny Zhang."

Terrance's voice was soft, but it made Nathaniel frown.

"I'll be right there."

He had planned to go there tomorrow, but he didn't expect that Nanny Zhang would cause problems for them.

Meanwhile, Rita asked in a reluctant tone. "Are you leaving, daddy? Can't you accompany me even when you're injured?"

A lump formed in Nathaniel's throat as he heard that.

In truth, he really did want to accompany Rita, but things rarely ever went the way he wanted it to.

"After I've settled all of my things and you've recovered, I'll take you and Zion somewhere fun to play, okay?"

"Really? Don't you dare lie to me!"

Rita hurriedly extended her pinky towards Nathaniel.

"All right, I promise."

Nathaniel intertwined his pinky with Rita's and he pressed their thumbs together.

Now, Rita was satisfied and she picked up the gaming device that Zion had made for her to show it to Nathaniel. "Look, Brother Zion made me this. So, you'll have to give me a present later on."

"Very well, what would you like?"

"I'll need to think about it."

Rita tilted her head and smiled sweetly at Nathaniel.

As he looked at his daughter's smile, Nathaniel felt like he would be willing to give her the world if he could.

"Okay, it's all up to you, honey. I'll buy you the entire world if you asked for it."

"Daddy, you're the best."

Rita sprawled herself out into Nathaniel's arms coyly just as Mango walked into the room.

As soon as Mango entered and saw Nathaniel and Rita together, she couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What are you two doing?"

"Mommy, daddy said that he'll give me a present later!"

"You little rascal, all you ever ask for are presents."

Mango tapped Rita's head gently.

After that, Rita stuck out her tongue as she giggled mischievously.

Mango's mood improved considerably when she saw that her daughter's energy had increased.

On the other hand, Nathaniel gazed at the two of them as he wanted to say something but he stopped himself.

"What's wrong?"

Alas, Mango was quite observant and she sensed that something was up with Nathaniel. So, she decided to ask him about it.

Then, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Terrance just called and he said that Nanny Zhang is up to something. Hence, he asked me to go over and have a look."

Mango paused for a moment at that as she clearly never expected something like that to happen.

"How about I go along with you?"

Mango said without much thought.

After that, Nathaniel nodded in reply.

They sought out a nurse to care for Rita before they both left for the Hans Family mansion.

When she arrived at the mansion, Mango was actually quite nervous, especially about meeting Queena. Honestly, she had no idea what to do when they met again.

On the other hand, Queena was excited to see Mango but she managed to control herself.

"Oh, you've arrived?"

There was a hint of excitement in Queena's voice.

"Yup."

Mango suddenly had no idea what to say to Queena anymore.

Should she call her Aunt Xiao? Or Mom?

She never thought that she would have another identity.

Back in the United States, the both of them were as thick as thieves. However, Mango couldn't find the same sort of closeness with Queena after her identity had been revealed.

Nathaniel observed this before he said in a soft voice, "You stay with Minister Xiao while I go and have a look."

"All right."

As for Nanny Zhang, Mango didn't have the desire to see her at all.

When Terrance heard that Nathaniel had arrived, he immediately came out and greeted him before he brought Nathaniel to the dungeon with a grim look on his face.

Meanwhile, Mango just stood there stiffly.

Queena wanted to say something to her long-lost daughter, who was standing just a few feet away, but she had no idea how to start.

She hadn't seen Mango for more than twenty years. Frankly, she had a lot to say, but she had no idea how she should tackle the subject.

Then, Mango cleared her throat and asked, "Where's Madam Hans?" "She's resting inside as she's been unwell recently. She's just fallen asleep, so it's better for you to visit her later after she's awake." "All right." After that, Mango became silent again.

Queena saw Mango's uncomfortable expression and she muttered, "Come over here and sit down, there's no need to be so formal at home."

"Okay."

Mango nodded and she sat down on the sofa.
