The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 785

"Auntie, aren't you going to answer the call?"

Mango asked curiously.

"It's just an advertiser's number and it doesn't matter if I don't answer it as there are many annoying calls like this these days as you know. Anyway, I won't invite you in as I really want to rest now."

Sophia said with a smile but the hint of aversion was evident in her eyes.

Mango had doubts deep down but she didn't ask about it further since Sophia didn't want to talk about it.

"Alright, I'll go back now and you can call me at any time if something comes up."

"Alright."

Then, Mango turned around and left.

Sophia entered the house and closed the door as soon as Mango got in the car.

At that moment, Mango found this strange.

She didn't feel good about it.

Why would Sophia not allow her own niece to enter her house even though she was tired?

Nevertheless, Mango shook her head as she felt that she was overthinking and everything that had happened must have been a big blow to Sophia. Perhaps Sophia really needed a rest and to spend some time alone.

Mango drove straight to the hospital at the thought of this.

Then, she met Nathaniel at the hospital entrance.

"Nathan, get in the car and I'll take you home!"

Mango stuck her tongue out at Nathaniel cheekily.

Nathaniel was stunned but he smiled and got into the car.

"Didn't you send your Auntie home? I thought that you would accompany her for a while there."

Nathaniel fastened his seat belt and he enjoyed being the co-passenger as he didn't have to drive.

Mango sighed and said, "I do want to keep her company but she doesn't let me do so and she kept telling me to leave, so I guess that she must have been really tired as she closed the door even before I left. Also, she turned off her phone immediately when someone called her as she didn't want to answer it, though I agree that it has really been a bad day for her. So many things happened at once and I guess no one would be able to take it especially after she knew about her medical condition."

"What's wrong with her health?"

Nathaniel asked casually after hearing Mango's words.

"Someone poisoned her with a long-standing toxin and a huge amount has accumulated in her body. Genevieve said that it's really difficult to treat her as the doctors might not even be able to cure her completely and there might be potential aftereffects."

Mango told Nathaniel everything that she knew.

Then, Nathaniel pondered before he said, "Well, it's unfortunate that the situation has turned out as such but we have already done our best and you shouldn't worry yourself too much about it. You've spent a lot of effort on this and you should really take a rest and relax now that Delilah has been arrested while Cyrus is under surveillance."

"Yeah, as for Walter and Henry..."

"I have already settled everything and Walter decided to fulfill Novalee's last wish by letting Henry work in our company. Also, Walter would surely not abandon Henry if something happens to him and I'm back now as they are going to bury Novalee."

Nathaniel touched Mango's collar as he said with a smile, "Let's buy some ingredients and I'll go home to cook for you, okay? It has been a long time since I last cooked for you."

"Are you sure you're free? Are you not busy with your company's affairs? I guess you'll have to handle more tasks during this period of time as Delilah's matter has been a big blow to Thomas and he is also not in a good mood today. I am worried that..."

"Alright, Mrs. Ye, you're worried about so many issues but can't you be more concerned about me? My business affairs are endless but I'll let Thomas have a break as he hasn't applied for his annual leave for many years, so don't worry as he will get over it soon. Besides, Rainie will be by his side so you can rest assured. Let's not think or worry about these issues today and spend a romantic night with just the both of us together, deal?"

Mango couldn't help but laugh when she saw Nathaniel's resentful expression.

"What if I tell you that I miss our kids?"

"Mango, you're doing this deliberately, aren't you?"

Nathaniel's brows were tightly furrowed but there was a smile on his face.

Mango beamed and said, "No, I didn't as I really miss Rita and Wisdom, so can't we bring them back?" "Anything you say, but I'm really frustrated as it seems so difficult for us to spend time together without anyone else around."

Mango laughed again after hearing Nathaniel's words.

"Aren't you tired of spending your time only with me after so many years?"

"I will never get tired of being with you for the rest of my life."

"Come on, stop it with your sweet-talk."

Mango pushed him away with a smile before she started the engine and drove the car towards the nearby supermarket.

At that moment, Mango felt that she could finally take a break for a few days now that the issue had come to an end and it was also time for her to get focused as she was planning to participate in the design competition.

The two of them went to the supermarket like any other married couple but everyone kept glancing at them because of their lovey-dovey interactions.

However, Mango didn't care about it at all as she held with Nathaniel's arm while picking the ingredients that she needed.

"Let's buy some chicken wings as Rita likes eating fried wings with Coca-Cola." "We should stop letting Rita eat meat as she's about to become a little fat pig. Aren't you afraid that your daughter might not get married in the future?"

Nathaniel knew that Mango was doting on Rita as she wanted to make up for the past four years that she wasn't with her. However, Nathaniel felt that Mango was spoiling the kids too much in terms of meals.

Mango stopped her actions as she looked at Nathaniel and asked in an aggrieved tone, "Are you not able to raise your daughter?"

"It's not that I can't raise her and it's definitely not a problem for me to look after her for the rest of my life if she doesn't want to get married since she's my little lover after all. However, it's really unhealthy for her to eat and drink so much. Mango, I know that you feel guilty for Rita and I feel the same too but we have to be more rational. Let's provide her a well-balanced meal from today on, okay?"

Nathaniel discussed with Mango.

Then, Mango nodded her head.

"I don't think that our daughter likes eating vegetables though."

"We should still give it a try and you should add more greens to her meals regardless."

Nathaniel put some broccoli and vegetables into their basket after seeing that Mango came to terms with him.
