The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 756

Was she overthinking?

Could it be that Isla was already dead?

Mango didn't know what was true and what was not anymore.

"Alright, don't think too much about it. Leave that to Nathaniel. Since he wants to cleanse the Ye family thoroughly, let him. In the meantime, you could stay here and accompany these two old men of yours."

Mango chuckled at Mateo's words.

"Old men? You're just in your thirties."

"We're almost forty."

Mateo sighed and said, "I don't think we'll be able to pass down the Hans name. Look, who's willing to marry an old man like us?"

"I have someone who likes me, unlike you."

Terrance's words caused Mango to laugh too.

"Uncle is dating someone?"

"He's dating a ghost."

Mateo liked to burst Terrance's bubbles.

As they bickered, Mango thought that it looked exceptionally affectionate.

Then, Mango caught sight of Madam Hans' portrait as she was laughing.

"Uncles, can I pay grandmother a visit?"

"Of course."

After he said this, Mateo brought Mango to the family graveyard.

This wasn't the first time Mango had come to the Hans family's graveyard, but her heart was especially heavy this time.

Mango wasn't that fond of Madam Hans before, but in the end, who knew that she would give up her life for Mango. Because of this alone, Mango didn't hold any grudges against her anymore.

As she knelt in front of Madam Hans' grave, Mango touched her forehead to the ground three times.

Tears had welled up in her eyes unknowingly.

"Grandma, I'm sorry."

This was the first time Mango apologized to Madam Hans. Unfortunately, Madam Hans wasn't able to hear her.

Meanwhile, Mateo stood quietly by her side. When he saw how sad Mango was, he couldn't help but say, "Mango, don't be sad. You're our brother's daughter. Mom felt sorry for him the most. Back then, if she hadn't insisted on him joining the army, it wouldn't have turned out like this. You're his precious daughter. Mom was willing to do anything for you. As long as you're well, the Hans family would be well too."

"But I'm the one who killed grandma. If it weren't for me, grandma wouldn't have...”

"It's all in the past now. We all know grandma's intentions. Don't make things difficult for yourself. It breaks our hearts seeing you cry."

Mateo helped Mango up her feet.

Mango wiped her face and left the graveyard after bowing to Madam Hans once again.

Meanwhile, the children were still playing in the backyard.

Mango's frown couldn't help but turn into a smile when she saw how much fun they were having.

Wisdom had been living quite gloomily these days, but now he was playing happily with Rita in the playground. His bright smile could really chase away all the dark clouds.

By just watching the two kids playing around like this, Mango felt an irreplaceable happiness within.

"Mommy, come! Let's play together!"

Suddenly, Rita spotted Mango with her sharp eyes and quickly waved her over.

Mango shook her head with a smile and said, "You

guys have fun. Mommy's a little tired."

"Mommy, are you sick? Why do you always feel tired these days?"

Rita inquired Mango like an adult before adding, "Ah, mommy, you're not going to give birth to a little brother or sister for me and my brothers, are you? The shows on the television say that when you're sleepy all the time, you might have a baby inside you."

Mango was amused by her daughter's cheekiness.

"What kind of nonsense are you learning from those shows? Mommy won't have another little brother or sister, not anymore."

"Mommy, you can't give birth anymore because your tummy isn't strong, right?"

Rita's innocent words were like a sharp knife that pierced into Mango's heart.

She could only put on a bitter smile on the outside.

Thinking of her previous child, she told herself not to whine anymore, but in truth, she was still upset. How could she not be? It hurt her badly.

Hearing Rita's words, Terrance hurriedly pushed his wheelchair towards them.

"Rita, you three are enough to mommy and daddy.

Mommy will be very tired if there's another sibling."

"Really? But I'm the youngest. I want to be an elder sister too."

Rita said with a pout.

Mango was a little sad, but she knew that she couldn't let the children notice. She smiled and say, "Rita can still be the elder sister too. Aunt Genevieve is pregnant. When she gives birth, the baby would be Rita's little brother or sister."

"Really?"

Rita looked delighted at this.

"Of course. When did mommy ever lie to you?"

Mango's words made Rita leap in joy.

"Be careful."
