The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 349

Madam Ye was also speechless.

Then, Nathaniel frowned slightly and asked, "Why did he take Wisdom to the company?"

"Wisdom said that he wanted to be closer to Nick, so he followed his father to the office. Unfortunately, it's not the first time that Nick's left his son at the office."

Madam Ye sighed as she spoke.

Since Nick hadn't returned, they decided to wait for him for dinner, so they spent the time chatting on the sofa.

Truth be told, Mango was rather exhausted because she had been on her feet since morning. She tried her best to stay awake, but Nathaniel noticed how tired she was.

"Do you want to go up and rest?"

He suddenly piped up, which made Madam Ye confused for a moment before she noticed that Mango did look quite tired.

"Oh dear, it slipped my mind that you need more rest since you've just completed your confinement period. Nathan, hurry and get Mango upstairs to rest. I'll have someone inform you when Nick returns."

Madam Ye quickly instructed Nathaniel.

"There's no need mom, I'm fine."

Mango wanted to decline, but Nathaniel immediately picked her up and walked towards their bedroom.

"Nathaniel!"

Honestly, Mango felt incredibly embarrassed.

Was it really appropriate for Nathaniel to be so protective of her in front of Madam Ye?

Alas, Nathaniel acted as if he hadn't heard a thing and he quickly brought Mango to the bedroom before he laid her down on the bed.

"Take a nap. How can you stand the exhaustion when you've been up all day and worn yourself out at the gym? Nick will need some time to get back, so it'll be fine for you to rest for a bit."

Right now, Nathaniel kind of blamed himself for this. He wouldn't have taken Mango to the gym if he knew that they would be going home for lunch.

Hence, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Mango when he saw how tired she was.

Mango still wanted to say something, but she decided against it when she saw the heartache in Nathaniel's eyes.

This man loved her with all his heart. How could she let him worry about her?

"I'll take a nap on my own. You should go downstairs and stay with mom instead."

"All right."

Nathaniel knew that Mango was concerned about Madam Ye, so he agreed.

Then, Mango finally closed her eyes once he complied with her wishes.

Perhaps she was really quite tired, and she fell into slumber rather quickly.

Then, Nathaniel pulled a blanket over her as he gazed at her sleeping visage with a subtle frown.

He looked at her for a moment longer before he went downstairs.

However, Nathaniel was surprised to find his mother intently studying the foot bath.

"Mom, why are you looking at it?"

"It's pretty good."

Madam Ye leaned back against her wheelchair with a smile. Thus, it seemed like she quite liked her gift.

"Mango was the one who bought it. She didn't really know what to get, so she got this since it would be good for your health."

Of course, Nathaniel had to put in a good word for Mango.

Next, Madam Ye smiled at him and said, "Mango is a great daughter-in-law, so there's no need for you to tell me that. To be honest, she's better than you."

"Mom..."

Truth be told, Nathaniel was a little embarrassed by what she said.

He did not expect that his mother would become so critical of him over the past month.

"I'll go abroad and find a specialist to take a look at your legs."

"Don't bother, if I'm fated to walk again, then I will be able to do so sooner or later. If I'll be wheelchair-bound for the rest of my life, then so be it. Oh, how is Mango doing with the Hans Family? It's been a while, so why hasn't she been formally inducted into the family yet?"

Then, Nathaniel frowned at Madam Ye's question.

"Well, something happened."

"What's the matter?"

Upon hearing that, Madam Ye immediately became nervous.

Next, Nathaniel told Madam Ye about the issue between Andrea and Madam Hans.

"Is Madam Hans crazy? She would forsake her own biological granddaughter for an outsider? Tell the Hans Family that if they won't accept Mango, then the Ye Family will. From now on, she's part of our family and we won't give her back even if they ask for her."

Currently, Madam Ye acted very much like a petulant child.

However, Nathaniel smiled at the sight of his mother's sincere affection towards Mango and said, "Yeah, I told them exactly that from the very beginning."

"Well done! No one is allowed to bully Mango. Is that Andrea girl the one who tried to hurt Mango in America?"

"Yeah, that's her."

"Are you just going to stand there and watch your wife get pushed around by other people?"

Madam Ye raised her eyebrows and looked at Nathaniel, which made him avert his gaze,

"Mom, Mango's still concerned about preserving the relationship between Andrea and Minister Xiao."

"What about you? You have nothing to do with Andrea, and yet you stand by idly while your wife gets bullied. Are you even a man of the Ye Family?"

By now, Madam Ye had started to openly mock him.

Nathaniel felt a blush rise on his face.

"But I haven't..."

"Cut the crap. All that talk about protecting your wife, but where were you when she needed you most? I don't believe that Mango would hesitate to put that b*tch in her place, so what about you? Even if you can't do something openly, you can always do it secretively right?"

The more Madam Ye spoke, the angrier she became and she even wanted to kick Nathaniel out.
