The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 355

Mango shouted in surprise when she accidentally spilt the pot of soup and noodles onto the floor while she held a bowl in her hand. In turn, her scream startled Nathaniel.

"Mango!"

"Mommy!"

At the same time, Rita was also scared stiff.

Then, Nathaniel quickly put Rita down before he rushed to Mango's side and pulled the dumbfounded woman aside.

"Are you hurt? Did you burn yourself?"

Nathaniel's face was already pale with fear.

However, Mango just shook her head as she felt that her previous actions were silly indeed.

"I... I just saw that the pot was tilted sideways and I wanted to adjust it properly. Apparently, the pot was extremely hot, and I was afraid that the bowl in my hand would drop, so..."

She couldn't even finish what she wanted to say.

The bowl was fine because she was still holding on to it, but unfortunately, the pot had spilled over.

Mango had never imagined she would end up doing something so clumsy, and she was so embarrassed at that moment that she wanted to hide.

However, Nathaniel cared not for her awkwardness as he gave her a once- over. Once he made sure Mango was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"How about you go and sit on the sofa for a bit? I'll take care of this mess."

Nathaniel led Mango to the sofa before he took away the empty bowl in her hand.

Meanwhile, Rita was still in a state of shock as she looked at them.

Then, Nathaniel said to her, "Come and stay with your mommy. Also, get a cup of water for her, will you?"

"Oh, okay!"

Rita finally came to her senses and she quickly went to get some water.

Zion and Mango's parents had also rushed out to check what was going on after they heard the commotion. Then, they were rendered speechless at the mess before them.

Zion shook his head and asked, "Do married women have a lower IQ of something?"

"You little brat, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Shen gave a sharp knock on Zion's forehead.

Meanwhile, Mango felt like she'd thoroughly embarrassed herself in front of her entire family, and even Charlotte and Thomas came to see what was going on.

For a moment, Mango really wanted to go and hide in a closet.

"All right, everything's fine. Everyone can just go back to what they were doing, I'll take care of this mess."

Nathaniel's heart ached when he saw Mango curled up in embarrassment on the sofa.

After that, everyone else returned to their rooms, except for Rita.

She handed the hot water to Mango and muttered, "Mommy, have some water so you can calm down."

"Thank you."

Mango felt humiliated, but she couldn't say anything in front of Rita.

Then, Rita said somewhat awkwardly when Mango took a sip of water, "Mommy, I'm sorry for what I did earlier. It was my fault, I shouldn't have slammed the door, and I shouldn't have gotten angry at you too. Daddy already told me off, so don't be angry okay?"

She gently shook Mango's arm with a pitiful expression on her face. Hence, how could Mango bear to stay mad at her?

"It's all right, Mommy isn't angry anymore."

"Mommy, did you drop the pot because of me?"

Rita could associate the two matters together, which made Mango flustered again.

"No, I was just careless."

"Then did you hurt yourself, mommy?"

"No, I didn't."

Mango carried Rita into her lap while her eyes subconsciously drifted to the kitchen.

Inside, Nathaniel had already rolled up his sleeves and begun to clean up.

The way someone as masculine as Nathaniel could look so comfortable in the kitchen warmed Mango's heart.

"Wow, Daddy's so handsome!"

Rita revealed her unabashed admiration for her father once more, and she said what was on Mango's mind as well.

Without a doubt, Nathaniel was truly very handsome.

She laughed giddily as both her and Rita acted like lovesick puppies. Then, they watched as Nathaniel started cutting up vegetables and boiling noodles after he cleaned up.

His movements were fluid and coherent as he worked in the kitchen.

Mango felt like she would never get bored of watching him cook.

After Nathaniel finished making the noodles, he looked up to see two girls looking at him with admiration in their eyes. All of a sudden, a content feeling washed over his heart, and even signing a million contracts would never make him this happy.

"Lunch is ready."

He called upon Mango and Rita.

Although Rita had already eaten, she still wanted to try Nathaniel's cooking.

On the other hand, Mango was a little embarrassed.

Nathaniel shook his head as he poured her a glass of milk and said, "Today is a day worth celebrating because you got your identity back."

"Thank you."

All their unhappiness previously evaporated at that moment and they celebrated the event happily.

Even if it was a simple bowl of noodles and a glass of milk, they were still delighted nonetheless.

A man from the Hans Family arrived later in the afternoon, but he was stopped at the gate by Nathaniel.

Mango knew about this, but she feigned ignorance instead.
