The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 792

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel asked when he came in as he saw Mango trying to get out of bed anxiously.

"I want to go visit my parents as they didn't answer my call and their phone was off. Anyway, I feel really bad as I haven't been to visit them recently and I didn't even contact them. They must be really sad as I'm too unfilial."

Mango felt remorseful.

However, Nathaniel held her in his arms and whispered, "It's all because of my negligence and I haven't thought about this thoroughly. How about you stay at home and rest while I go over to have a look?"

"No, I have to go and visit as I haven't seen them for weeks and I feel really uneasy now that they aren't answering my call. I won't feel at ease if I don't meet them personally."

Nathaniel no longer forced Mango to stay at home after hearing what she said.

"Alright then, pack up and have some food before we head over as your physical condition isn't as good as it was in the past and you aren't in good health, so I won't let you go if you don't eat

something."

Mango nodded her head upon hearing Nathaniel's words.

"Okay, I'll eat some... It's not a problem for the kids to stay at home, is it?"

"Of course."

Mango nodded her head.

Then, Nathaniel placed the food on the table.

Mango cleaned herself up before sitting down to have some food and although she felt a little uncomfortable at times, she endured it without anyone noticing.

Nathaniel said gently only after Mango had finished all the food, "I'll drive the car to the entrance, so just wait for me at the door."

"All right."

Mango took her belongings before she went downstairs and she gave Sisi a few reminders when she saw her and only then did she leave the house with Nathaniel.

Nathaniel knew that Mango was in a hurry but he still drove very steadily and it didn't take long before they arrived at the Shen family's house. Unfortunately, their house door was tightly locked and chained up.

"Are they not home?"

Nathaniel asked at the sight of this.

"I want to go in and have a look."

Mango took out her keys before entering the place and they found that the house was clean and tidy inside with everything in place as usual, but Mango felt that something wasn't right.

Nathaniel followed her from behind and he didn't notice anything unusual.

"It seems that they've gone out."

"What about the housekeeper?"

Only then did Mango realize that she had neglected an issue.

The Shen family's parents were getting old and Mango hired a nanny for them as she couldn't come home often to take care of them. Also, the Shen family always had a butler at home and it was impossible that there wasn't a single person here.

Nathaniel's brows furrowed.

"Do you have their phone numbers?"

"Yes, I'll look for it."

Mango took out her phone before scrolling through her contacts hastily and it didn't take long for her to find it.

Immediately, she called the nanny.

"Hello, Sister Zhang, my parents are not at home and how come are you not her too? What happened?"

Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment and only then did she recognize Mango's voice.

"Oh, Ms. Shen, it's you... I was dismissed by Mr. Shen."

"Dismissed? Why?"

Mango was extremely puzzled.

Sister Zhang sighed and said, "I have no idea either as I've done quite a good job but Mr. Shen told me and Lil Liu out of the blue that he will be traveling around the globe with Mrs. Shen and that he didn't need us to take care of the house anymore. So, he let us go and gave us an extra month's salary... What's wrong, Ms. Shen? Are you not aware of this?"

"I have no idea...When did my parents dismiss you?"

Mango asked in a hurry.

Sister Zhang thought about it for a moment and she said, "It wasn't that long ago...about ten days before this?"

"Ten days ago? Did my parents mention where their first stop is?" "No, we didn't ask this is not what we should have

known."

Mango knew that she wouldn't be able to get more information from Sister Zhang upon hearing her words.

"Thank you, Sister Zhang."

"No problem, Ms. Shen. Mr. Shen said that you are married now and you'll live a happy life, so they wanted to travel and look around the world instead of staying at home in loneliness. You should call them and you'll probably get to know where they are."

Mango said gloomily upon hearing Sister Zhang's words, "Their phones have been switched off."

"Oh, maybe they are on the plane as they're going to the next stop... You can try again after some time."

"I guess I have no other choice... Thank you, Sister Zhang."

Mango felt really remorseful after hanging up the phone.

However, Nathaniel held her in his arms and said softly, "It's all my fault for not taking care of our parents."

"It has nothing to do with you as you are just their son-in-law while I am their daughter and I should have taken into consideration that my parents would feel lonely after I get married... I should have taken them home but now I don't even know where they are and I'm such a useless daughter... I wonder if my parents feel sad deep down."

"It's okay as it's part of the elderly's life to travel around the world since they've worked so hard for your sake for their entire lives. Now, it's good that they are able to let you go and live a carefree life of their own. We can call them again later to ask about it as they might really be on the plane now."

Nathaniel comforted Mango.

Then, Mango nodded her head.

"I want to stay here for a while, is that okay?"

"Of course, this is your parents' home and I'll stay here with you if want to."

Mango was touched by Nathaniel's gentleness.
