The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 438

Mango was happy upon receiving the call from Nathaniel.

Maybe what Mr. Shen said was right.

Nathaniel had been acting mighty since he was a child. Plus, he was a straightforward man, and perhaps Nathaniel didn't understand women well.

Moreover, he was able to put down his pride to beg her for forgiveness over and over again. For that, Mango felt that she should not go overboard.

Mr. Shen was right anyway. Nathaniel did everything for the sake of Mango and the children.

Mango prepared herself mentally over and over again before picking up Nathaniel's call.

"Where have you been? I called you, but you didn't answer. Dad asked you to come over for dinner tonight. So, spare your time to come home."

Mango spoke directly without giving Nathaniel a chance to speak.

Nathaniel was stunned for a while.

He realized that Mango had forgiven him through the call. Although she didn't mention it directly, her tone sounded relaxed.

Nathaniel would be happy if this was in the past, but right now, he felt slightly dejected.

"I'm afraid I can't make it because I have to go on a business trip."

Mango was slightly taken aback by Nathaniel's words.

"What's the matter?"

She was worried.

Mango had been claiming herself as the victim of Rita's abduction, and she felt that Nathaniel had gone too far. Yet, when she thought about it again, Nathaniel was busy every day, and did Mango helped to share his burden?

Mango couldn't help but felt guilty when she thought of that.

Perhaps she cared too much about other things.

Nathaniel whispered, "There's something wrong with the overseas venture capital company. I have to deal with it right away."

"For how long do you need to be away? Do you have to go personally? Can't Thomas replace you?"

The truth was, Mango didn't want to leave

Nathaniel right now.

She couldn't describe the feeling, but a sudden separation was strange to her.

Nathaniel used to travel around five years ago. She was used to the existence of Nathaniel by her side after they got together five years later. So now, Mango was panicking when Nathaniel said that he was attending a business trip.

If possible, Nathaniel was unwilling to leave Mango, but he...

He looked at his physical condition while muttering, "I have to handle it personally, so you need to be careful when I'm not around. I'll tell Thomas about it, and the family workers will obey you. You can stay with the Shen family, or you can go home to your mother if you want. If possible, stay at home since the situation is chaotic right now. Also, find Terrance if you have any matters because I believe he will not leave you alone. Otherwise, you can go to Walter too. Although he is a little unreliable, he’s good to you, so he should be able to help you wholeheartedly."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango sensed that something was not quite right.

"Why did you say that? Will you be away for a long time? Or is it because the tasks over there are difficult to deal with? I thought you dislike me hanging out with Walter? Also, why are you reminding me of these? Nathaniel, what are you hiding from me?"

Mango's intuition made Nathaniel scared.

"It's no big deal, I’m just planning for it. I don't know for how long I need to deal with the issue, but I promise that I'll return as soon as possible. Don't think too much about it. You know me. If possible, I don’t wish to leave you and the children at this point."

Mango paused for a while after hearing Nathaniel’s word.

"Nathaniel, don't keep anything from me."

"I'm not hiding anything though."

Nathaniel was a little out of breath.

Were women that sensitive about such a thing?

Mango felt a little uneasy and she said in a low voice, "I hope Rita's incident is the last time. I know that your intention is good, but I'm a human. I'm your wife, not your appendage, and I'm not weak. Do you understand that I wish to go through everything with you? I want to participate in everything in your life. Also, I want to stay by your side when you need support. We're one as husband and wife, I have the right to know what happened. So, stop hiding anything from me again, Nathaniel!"

Nathaniel felt miserable suddenly.

He wanted to tell Mango about his current situation, but in the end, he held back.

Mango had too many things to deal with right now. Furthermore, her health wasn't in a good shape either. Now, she finally could relax about Rita. So, how could she accept what happened to Nathaniel?

Nathaniel kept telling himself that this would be the last time.

As long as he could go through this safe and sound, he promised to have a good life with Mango. Also, he would not hide anything from her in the future anymore.

"What are you thinking? What can I hide from you? Don't think too much. Don't you understand my personality?"

Nathaniel tried his best to sound normal.
