The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 531

"Shawn, there are no more doughnuts, and the chef will not make extra for me. Please go and talk to him."

When Rita appeared in front of Mango, the latter was thrilled with joy. Mango then went forward to hug Rita, and her voice was trembling as she said, "You little devil! Where did you go? Don't you know that Wisdom and I are worried sick for you?"

"Mommy?"

Rita was a little surprised, but she felt glad to meet Mango here.

"Mommy, how did you find this place? You're amazing! Did Shawn contact you? I called you but the line was busy. Who are you talking to? Is it Daddy? He is not yours alone though! Why are you being possessive of him? Oh, is Daddy back then?"

Rita's unstoppable questions caused Mango's heart to ache a little.

Nathaniel, did you know your daughter was waiting for your return as well?

Mango's heart was in sorrow, but she replied to Rita softly, "If you can't reach me by phone, are you intending to stay at someone's house and not going back? Also, enjoying doughnuts, huh? You're such a heartless girl!"

When Shawn heard that Mango was Rita's mother, he couldn't help but let his guard down.

"So you're Rita's Mommy. Auntie, do you want to come in and have some tea? Rita told me that she was being held captive, so I called the police just now."

Hearing Shawn's words, Mango was stunned. She looked at the policemen beside her before saying smilingly, "Kids are too sensitive, and I believe this is just a misunderstanding. I am so sorry for having you guys come in vain. I'll get Nathan to send some tea leaves to the police station later, so you and colleagues can enjoy the drink."

After hearing Mango's words, the policemen understood that they didn't need to interfere with Ye family's matters.

In such a wealthy family, if there was something that needed to be dealt with by the police, they would be in a bit of a predicament. The authorities might be clueless even if they offended someone, which brought no benefits to them. Thus, they left the place willingly.

"So, that's how it is. Mrs. Ye, we're glad to hear that everything is fine. We'll take our leave then."

The policemen left after that.

Shawn frowned slightly. It was obvious that he wasn't too satisfied with this result.

"Aunty, what are you doing? You didn't even see Rita fainted next to the trash can. She was kidnapped for real."

Upon hearing that her precious daughter went unconscious beside the trash can, Mango felt distressed at this. However, there was something that she couldn't reveal to Shawn.

"Thank you, Shawn. I'm grateful that you've saved Rita! Are your parents here? I would like to go in and greet them. Also, I'll let her father come in person to thank you for what happened today."

"My Daddy and Mommy are not around, so I am alone at home."

Shawn's words sounded as if nothing mattered to him, but Mango seemed to sense a trace of loneliness.

"How old are you?"

"Seven years old."

A smile appeared on Shawn's face. He was polite, but it made one's feel sad for him.

"Then I'll take Rita with me. Why don't you come over to play with us?"

Mango was aware that it wasn't the right decision for her to take care of an additional child in her current situation. However, when she saw how Shawn was forcing himself to be strong, Mango couldn't help but think of Zion.

Both of the children were kind of similar in their behavior!

Also, she used to be the one who couldn't take care of Zion.

However, Shawn replied with a smile, "It's okay, Auntie. I have a piano class this afternoon, so I have to reject your offer."

"Shawn, come with us! I have two brothers at home, and let me introduce them to you. Both of them are good boys!"

Rita liked Shawn so much and she quickly grabbed his hand.

Shawn smiled even more gently.

"Maybe another day. I really don't have time today, and the teacher will arrive soon."

Upon hearing Shawn's words, Mango knew that this child had a sense of propriety, just like Zion.

"Well, if you need anything, call me. This is my phone number."

Mango gave her number to Shawn.

When Walter saw that Mango could chat happily with a child, he couldn't help but say, "Mango, you're nice to children. Kid, since you've saved Rita, tell me about your requests then. No matter how pricy or unique the thing is, as long as you say it, I will get it for you. What do you think?"

Shawn looked at Walter, and the kid acted reserved. With his gentle voice, he responded, "No, thank you. Our family can afford anything."

Walter was a little stunned upon those words.

He seemed to have been verbally attacked by a child.

Last time it was Zion, and now it was the brat in front of him. Did Walter look like he was easy to be bullied?

"Excuse me, what do you mean? Are you competing with me in terms of wealth? Let me tell you, I am Walter Song from Ocean City. You should appreciate the fact that I'm offering you something!"

"Thank you, but I don't need it."

After Shawn finished speaking, he turned around before smiling at Rita, "Go home and stay safe, okay? Call me if something happens. You know my phone number."

"Okay! Shawn, I am going to miss you."

Rita said obediently as she hugged Shawn tightly.

The boy gently hugged her back before replying, "I'll miss you, too. Now that you know where my home is, you can always come and play with me." "Really?"

"Of course!"

"Deal! Have your chef prepares doughnuts for me during my next visit then."

Rita's face was full of joy as she spoke.

"No problem!"
