The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 844

"Where's my mom? Where did she go?"

Mango was very worried. She immediately released Nathaniel's hand and ran inside the house.

"Don't run, Mango, slow down."

Nathaniel looked frightened and followed her into the house.

Mango burst into tears when she couldn't find Queena anywhere in the house.

"Has my mother abandoned me? Does she not want to see me? I knew it. She waited for me here and said that she would meet me because grandpa called her. She was a soldier and a representative of foreign affairs, so she carried out her duty and waited for me here. I don't think she not waiting for me after all, but for Sophia instead. Now that Sophia has gone, she should be hiding again, right? How could this be?"

Mango was crying uncontrollably.

Nathaniel's heart ached.

"It's not like that. Mom may have something else to do and she can't leave for a while. Don't think too much about it."

"That's it. Grandpa said that she wants to find a foreign place to die alone. She doesn't even treat me as her daughter!"

Mango was acting like a child as she kept overthinking the situation.

Nathaniel found it somewhat ridiculous, but he didn't know how to comfort her.

Queena's voice came from behind her just when Mango was crying uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? Nathaniel, did you bully her?"

Nathaniel smiled helplessly.

Mango quickly turned back as soon as she heard Queena's voice.

"Mom, you haven't left?"

"Where am I going? I had to say something to the team leader who came over. What's wrong?"

"It's great that you didn't leave. I thought you abandoned me again."

Mango directly held Queena in her arms.

Queena paused for a moment and seemed to understand what Mango was crying about. She suddenly smiled and said, "You are already a mother. Why are you crying so much?"

"I don't care how many children I have and no matter how old I am, I will always be a child to you. I will always have the right to act like a spoiled child in front of you."

Mango hugged Queena tightly as if she was afraid that her mother would leave again.

Nathaniel shook his head and said, "Mom, both of you can talk for a while. I'll go out and have a look. Sophia has a complicated identity. It is estimated that Brantley will bring some people to pick her up soon."

Queena paused for a moment and she felt a little awkward.

"Does he want to come also? He's so old, why does he want to follow us? Besides, didn't he quit? It's better to let others do this thing."

Mango heard the awkwardness in Queena's words. She quickly raised her head and said, "Mom, you haven't forgiven Grandfather yet?"

"What are you talking about?"

Queena felt a little awkward.

Mango said with a smile, "I've heard grandfather say that he was the one who separated you and my father back then. However, some things are up to fate. Aren't you tired of being angry with grandfather for so many years? Grandfather is getting older and he's alone at home. He misses you very much. Your room is still very clean, so it's obvious that he cleaned it up often. Mother, Grandfather and you are both too stubborn. No one wants to take a step back, so you two have spent so many years in vain. Now that both of you have grown old, why are you still in a stalemate? Anyways, I like actually quite like my grandfather."

Queena's eyes were a little teary when she heard what Mango had said.

"You don't blame him?"

"Why should I?"

Mango was a little confused.

Queena bit her lower lip and said, "It's his fault that he broke me and your father up. Otherwise, we may be a complete and happy family now."

Mango finally knew what Queena's was frustrated about.

She held Queena's hand and said softly, "Mom, dad may not be with you regardless of whether grandpa did that back then. You were a weak girl at that time and he shouldered the Hans family's duty. He wanted to go to the battlefield and protect our country, so he didn't want to upset you. Grandpa might have given him a definite excuse for him to break up with you, but you can't say that he didn't have this idea in his heart. He loves you and he doesn't want you to be worry because of him. He wants to give you a stable home and the best choice was to break up. It has nothing to do with my grandpa. Besides, so what if you didn't break up and the both of you are married? Would my dad choose not to sacrifice for our country?"

Queena was at a loss for words after she was questioned.

Mango knew that she was able to convince Queena.

She took Queena's hand and sat down on the chair. She continued, "Grandfather is not wrong. He loves you. He also wants to give you the best. Your life is not complete because of what get did and you can't even meet your mom when she passed away. He feels that he owes you a lot, so he did not want you to end up living a life like him. He only has you as his daughter. Who else can he love other than you? Sophia isn't the only reason that Grandpa wants to come here. He came here mainly to bring you home."

Queena paused for a while and she felt a little awkward.

"Home?"

"Yes, home. A place can be called home only if there is love and family. Only with you around, will grandpa feel that the military compound is his home. It was same as for me, I would only feel that I am home with you around. Mum, please follow us back, whether it is for grandpa or for me.

We can devote to the treatment. I'll be satisfied even if you get to live one more day. Please let me be a filial daughter."

Mango's words were particularly sincere, to the extent that Queena was unable to reject her.

This was why she didn't want to face Mango.

It was because she was actually lonely and greedy deep down in her heart. She wanted her child to accompany her, but she also felt that she did not have the qualifications and she did not deserve it.
