The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 749

After Mango and Nathaniel had had a meal at the Shen family's, Mango decided to go to the mall to buy a few things for the kids.

"We came back in a rush this time and forgot to buy presents for the kids. Let's find something at the mall."

Mango said with a cheeky smile.

Nathaniel shook his head and said, "I know how busy you've been, so I have already bought their gifts. You don't have to worry about it."

"Oh god, when did you buy them? I have been with you all this time!"

Mango felt as if she had lost her memory. Otherwise, why didn't she see Nathaniel buy things for the kids and her parents even though she was by Nathaniel's side all the time?

Nathaniel smiled and rubbed her head as he said, "I can clone myself."

"Ugh! Be serious! When did you go out to buy it?"

"I bought them on my way back when I went out to settle Aiden's matters."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango felt a little ashamed.

Nathaniel had remembered to bring gifts for the children and elders when he went to the police station to look for Aiden, but she, on the other hand, had forgotten.

"It's so nice to have you by my side."

"Isn't that so? Have you only realized it now?"

Naturally, Nathaniel liked to be praised by Mango.

"But if you want to go shopping, we can head to the mall."

"No, forget it. Let's go home. The children must be waiting for us."

Mango had originally wanted to go to the mall to buy presents for the children. Now that Nathaniel had already bought them, she needn't go there anymore. She could go home to see the kids.

As Nathaniel saw how Mango couldn't wait to return home, he led her into the car and they returned to the Ye's Mansion.

Upon returning to the Ye's Mansion after all this time, Mango's emotions were jumbled in a complicated pile.

When she left this place, she once thought that she would never be able to return again. She had even thought that her and Nathaniel's lives would never cross paths again. However, she was now standing here again. Looking at this unchanged building that had been through centuries made

Mango thought of Madam Ye, Isla Fang.

Although the old lady was now gone, she still felt Isla's presence as the traces of her were scattered everywhere.

Nathaniel knew about the thoughts that were whirling in her mind when he saw that Mango had frozen in place.

"Why don't we move to the villa?"

"There's no need. We'll have to move in here sooner or later anyways. I'm fine."

As she said this, Mango smiled at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel could see the hurt and tiredness in her smile.

"Don't worry. No one will hurt you anymore. She's already dead."

"I know."

Then, Mango held Nathaniel's hand as they walked into the Ye's Mansion together.

Everything here was familiar. Even the flowerbeds that were favored by Isla were still properly taken care of.

Mango felt that as if Isla was still sitting in the garden, tending to the flowers and plants.

She knew that all this was only her imagination.

"Daddy, mommy! You're back?"

When Rita came out of her room and saw Nathaniel and Mango, she immediately ran over happily.

Nathaniel lifted Rita up as he saw her.

"My baby, did you miss daddy?"

"Of course I did. I missed you so much that my entire all ached. Look, I'm plumper now because I missed you a lot!"

Rita's tone was serious.

Mango laughed as she heard this.

"Isn't it because you ate too much?"

"Yes, that's because I feel sad when I miss mommy and daddy. And then, I eat when I feel sad. Look, I've gained weight."

Mango was amused by Rita's thinking.

Nathaniel pinched Rita's face and said with a smile, "That's okay. My princess isn't fat at all, she is just right."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Daddy, you're the best!"

Rita hugged Nathaniel tightly.

When Mango saw how happy her daughter was, she couldn't help but smile as well.

Wisdom stood at the door of his room and watched their interaction silently. He felt a tinge of sadness.

Mango's sensitive wits made her notice Wisdom's presence. When she saw the look in Wisdom's eyes, her heart couldn't help but ache a little.

"Come here, Wisdom, give mommy a hug. I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to see if you've gained weight, just like Rita has."

Wisdom was a little embarrassed by Mango's words.

"No, my weight is still the same, but I really miss you two."

"My silly little munchkin, come here and let mommy hug you."

Mango pulled Wisdom into her embrace in one swift motion.

Wisdom's body was a little stiff at first, but he relaxed quickly.

He leaned on Mango's shoulder and said softly, "Mommy, welcome home.”

Mango's heart instantly softened.

"My little man, I missed you so much. Let's go for a trip as a family next time, alright?"

"Alright."

Wisdom was very quiet.

Since his autism was cured, he seemed to have grown up overnight, and he acted very much like the eldest sibling of the family. He cared a lot for his younger siblings and had become so much calmer. On the other hand, Zion, who used to act similar to a serious adult, was now much more lively and cheerful.
