The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 360

"You'll regret this, Zion!"

Nathaniel gritted his teeth and replied.

Zion chuckled and said, "Mr. Ye, don't you think it's embarrassing to be petty with a child?"

"Not at all!"

Nathaniel wouldn't be fooled by his son's innocent smile.

The little brat was as cunning a fox. Other people may not be aware of it, but Nathaniel sure was.

Just as Zion was about to reply, Rita ran out of her room.

"Daddy, look at this hairpin! Isn't it pretty? Mommy got it for me."

Rita walked around the room happily as she wore a long, flowing dress. Her greatest wish for the past four years was to be able to explore the outside world.

Hence, how could she contain her excitement when she was about to achieve her dreams?

On the other hand, Zion was also infected by his sister's happiness.

"By the way, I'll call Wisdom and ask him where he is. Let's ask him to join us."

"Yeah, we should ask him to come as well."

Rita's face was red with excitement, and her enthusiasm spread to Nathaniel as well.

Hence, he felt particularly content to be able to spend time with his entire family.

As Zion went to call Wisdom, Nathaniel pulled Rita into his lap and smiled. Then, he said, "Make sure to follow us closely when we head out, okay? Don't go wandering off alone."

"Okay, got it. I'll be good."

Rita wanted to leave immediately, but unfortunately, everyone had yet to have breakfast.

There was a disappointed look on Zion's face when he returned. He shook his head and said, "Wisdom can't make it because he has class, so I guess we'll have to go on our own."

Recently, Nick had been showing Wisdom the ropes, so Nathaniel decided not to interfere. They were father and son after all.

"All right, go wash your hands first before we start eating."

Nathaniel quickly called out to the children when he saw Mango and Mrs. Shen leaving the kitchen.

After that, Zion took Rita to wash her hands.

Breakfast that day was rather sumptuous, and the main dish was the soup.

After Nathaniel sat down at the table, Mango served him a bowl of soup before she mysteriously said, "Have more of this, okay? Make sure to drink it all."

"What soup is this?"

Hence, Nathaniel wrinkled his nose unconsciously when he realized that the scent of the soup was quite strong.

However, Mango avoided the question and replied, "Just drink it. What? Are you afraid that I'll poison you?"

"Since my wife asked me to drink it, I must comply even if it's poison."

Nathaniel replied smoothly.

Then, Mrs. Shen pursed her lips as she stifled a chuckle before she went to summon Mr. Shen to breakfast.

The whole family started to eat as soon as everyone was present at the table.

The atmosphere at the table was jovial, and everyone felt comfortable as they ate.

After Nathaniel had some of the soup, he was surprised to find that it tasted quite good. Shortly after, Mango picked up some food with her chopsticks and placed it on his plate.

Frankly, he felt that Mango was treating him better than usual today.

"Thank you, my dear."

"Hurry up and eat."

"Mommy, I want some too!"

Then, Rita couldn't help but pipe up when she noticed that Mango had only served Nathaniel the soup and the food.

Next, Nathaniel smiled and replied, "Here, I'll give you some of mine."

"No way!"

Before Nathaniel could finish his sentence, he was shocked when Mango immediately snatched the bowl away from him.

"Why does it matter if Rita has some? I don't mind if I have less of the soup."

"I said no."

Mango was acting strangely persistent today. After that, she turned her head to Rita and said, "Honey, this is actually a type of medicine that was specially made for daddy. You can't have it since you're a child."

"Is daddy ill?"

Rita immediately withdrew her hand once she heard that it was medication.

Over the past four years, the young girl had ingested her fair share of medicine. Thus, the word elicited a bitter taste in her mouth and caused her to shy away from the soup.

On the other hand, Nathaniel thought that Mango was just scaring Rita. Then, he chuckled and said, "Ah, don't be like that. It's okay for her to have some."

"I told you that she can't have it. This soup is specially made for you, so you're supposed to drink it."

Truth be told, Nathaniel was somewhat puzzled by Mango's words.

"Well, I'm not sick. Why should I take medicine?"

"Don't you realise what's wrong? Some illnesses should be nipped in the bud. Gosh, you're not even thirty years old and both of us still have a long way to go. Plus, we still need to have another child after Rita and Zion are older, right? You should really start taking care of your well-being."

Mango's face turned slightly red as she spoke.

However, Mango's parents felt extremely awkward at the table.

Then, Mr. Shen cleared his throat and said,

"Come on kids, let's eat."

"Yes, let's dig in!"

Mrs. Shen quickly added.

At that moment, Nathaniel realised exactly what Mango was doing.

Hence, the corners of his mouth twitched in annoyance.

"What soup is this?"

A blush spread across Mango's face.

"Just drink it, okay? Why are you asking so many questions?"

After that, Mango sat down next to Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt as if he'd dug his own grave.

In truth, he'd only said that he might be ill yesterday night because he didn't want Mango to doubt herself. Nevertheless, he never expected that Mango and Mrs. Shen would do something like this first thing in the morning.

Did they really think he was impotent?

His entire body was nearly overwhelmed with desire without the medicine. So, God knows what might happen if he actually took it.
