The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 786

"Southern development project?"

Mango turned her head and looked at Nathaniel with curiosity.

Nathaniel hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just a project handed to us by the higher-ups and we're still looking for a partner. Well, I'll surely not partner up with outsiders since Terrance suggested our collaboration."

"That's good to know. I'll go to your company tomorrow morning and we can discuss it in detail."

Nathaniel nodded as Terrance spoke resolutely.

However, Mateo could no longer stand it.

"Terrance, you've become such a money-minded and blatant person after doing business for a few years. What now? You're exchanging Mango and the kids for a collaboration? How traitorous you are!"

"Mateo, Mango will still have to return home with the children even if there's no business collaboration involved. They are the Ye family's members after all and if you really like kids that much, find a woman and give birth to one yourself. No one would mind even if you have ten

children!"

Mateo threw a pillow at Terrance without warning after hearing his words.

"Get lost! You don't even have a partner yourself."

"I do have one as I just went for a blind date and it went well."

Mango's interest piqued immediately after hearing what Terrance said.

"Terrance, you went on a blind date?"

"Or else what can I do? I'm a cripple and I'm really lucky that someone is willing to get married to me. I can't let the Hans family end in our generation after all or else I won't have the guts to meet your grandmother after I die."

"Don't make such pretentious explanation and use our mom as an excuse... Just admit that you want a woman!"

Mateo didn't show Terrance mercy at all.

On the other hand, Mango laughed the moment she saw them arguing with each other.

"Quick, tell us who is it? How did your blind date go?"

Nathaniel smiled and shook his head as he noticed how curious Mango was in this matter. He took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves before walking to Mateo and ask, "Do you need any help?"

"Of course! What's the matter? Are we going to stay here for lunch?"

"I was planning to go home and eat but it seems that Mango is really excited and by the time Terrance finishes telling her the whole story, she'll probably be very hungry, so I think we'd better settle our lunch here."

Nathaniel said dotingly.

Mateo became less averse to Nathaniel after witnessing his behavior.

"It's not that I don't want to criticize you but are you that busy with your work? How could you leave your wife and kids here so assuredly without even asking how are they doing these days?"

"There are spies in my company so I had to get rid of them as I'm afraid that they might plot against Mango and my kids when we return home. I really don't want that to happen."

Mateo paused his movements after hearing Nathaniel's words.

Then, he said in a low voice, "Mango can't live under your protection forever and the Hans family's children aren't weaklings. I believe that she will stay with you until the end even if a disaster befalls the Ye Family." "I trust her too and it's precisely because of my faith in her that I don't want her to suffer anymore. Mateo, you have no idea how many hardships Mango has been through because she has been by my side. I truly hope that she will be able to accomplish her dreams for the rest of her life and I'll do my best to help her as this is how I show my love for her."

Having said that, Nathaniel took the ingredients into the kitchen.

Mateo's lips curled up into a smile as he could now fully trust Nathaniel.

On the other hand, the two kids went to play on their own while Mango was still pestering Terrance and asking him about his blind date.

Terrance was so annoyed by Mango that he had no choice but to spill the beans, "The person is my best friend's younger sister and my friend is the matchmaker. She is an elementary school teacher who's pretty good-looking and more importantly, she has a good temper."

"An elementary school teacher? That sounds really good as she can teach Rita and Wisdom in the future."

Terrance felt helpless after hearing Mango's words.

"We aren't in an official relationship yet and you're already thinking for the education of your

children?"

"Of course I can't let the opportunity slip! Terrance, you're not young anymore and you should seize the opportunity if you meet a suitable partner. What's wrong with being disabled? Don't feel inferior as we can still make the elders proud and bring glory to the Hans family!"

"Have I ever felt inferior? Hurry up and work on your design as you've been out for the past two days. Aren't you afraid that you might lose the competition?"

"Of course not as I can still come back and you'll feed me even if I failed! I can even bond with my soon-to-be aunt."

At that instant, Terrance regretted bringing up the matter about his blind date after seeing Mango's reaction.

"Please leave me alone..."

Mango felt extremely happy as she saw how shy Terrance was.

"I'm sure you'll soon get closer with her. Do you have a picture of her? Show it to me or you could also just take her home to meet us!"

"I'm afraid that you'll scare her away because of your reaction."

Mango was displeased with what Terrance said.

"Terrance, I didn't even do anything and you're protecting my future aunt already? I noticed it, Terrance, you find me intolerable, isn't it?"

"Stop your nonsense... Nathaniel dotes on you so much that he's willing to give you the moon and the stars. I'm telling you, you'd better not stick your nose into other people's affairs and just live your own life, do you understand?"

Of course Mango knew what Terrance was talking about.

There was nothing in Ocean City that Terrance wasn't aware of and no one could keep secrets from him.
