The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 17

Following and begging along the way, Macy left with Nathaniel.

Behind the door stood Mango, she clenched her hands while hearing the two walkings further.

The man was heartless to Macy.

Five years ago, when Nathan betrayed Mango and their marriage, he was full of heart to Macy.

Macy still remembered the scene at the hospital. Knowing Macy was pregnant, Nathan was ecstatic and full of care, when Mango, his wife knocked up.

Nathan was a man to abandon his wife for a mistress, now he was about to abandon the mistress. Where would the wife be in his heart?

Perhaps it was wrong at the beginning. This man deserved no love. Fie was a heartless person, a cold stone that couldn't be warmed with love.

Although this was a fact that had been known for a long time, Mango still felt the pain.

Five years of a tough time, the cold voice that unveiled Nathan's order, the heat from the raging fire: all burnt to her mind, and all flashed back, again. Bitterness, desperation and coldness. Mango felt it, again.

Such a man, only if he truly experienced pain and betrayal caused by his beloved one, would he know how abominable and unforgivable he had done before! Hatred gleamed from Mango's eyes.

This time, she came back to make Nathan fall in love with her. She couldn't wait to see Nathan's sad look in the end.

Mango slipped down on the floor against the door. For a while, she couldn't pull herself together, until the phone rang.

The number started with +1. The phone came from America. It was Abyss Tang.

Seeing the name, Mango finally smiled warmly.

"Abyss."

Mango answered the phone with a softer voice.

Thanks to Abyss Tang, Mango could make it through the five years.

Five years ago, Abyss saved her and gave her a new identity, a new life. He finally trained Mango to become a famous designer. Mango had her own job to support herself and her child.

Mango was grateful to him.

Abyss smiled slightly when he heard Mango's voice.

"How about it? Are you used to it back there? He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

In fact, Abyss did not want Mango to come back, but he knew that Mango's hatred was too deep. If Mango did not come back for revenge, she would not be sorry for the rest of her life.

Besides, there were other reasons for Mango's return, which made Abyss particularly sad, but he had to compromise. Listening to Abyss's gentle voice, Mango seemed to regain strength.

Mango crawled up from the floor, took a deep breath, "Everything went well. Though Nathaniel starts to suspect, he can't find anything useful, after your effort. I will be careful, don't worry about me."

"Ok, just so you know, you can come back any time, if you don't feel like to hang on, or even the slightest hint of uncomfortable. You know, no matter what, I got your back.."

Abyss's words were always touchy.

"Thank you, Abyss. But these, I have to take care of myself. Besides, we need Nathaniel to cure Rita."

Both of them fell silent. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"How's Rita?"

Mango broke the silence first.

"She's good. Just need more time to rest. When she is up, all she wants is you and Zion. But don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen."

"I can't make it without you."

It seemed gratefulness was the only emotion at the moment.

"ah, no biggie. You know, I never expected your appreciation. If you need anything, just name it. Zion is naughty. If he hinders your plan, I will send someone to take him back."

"He is fine. With Zion here, I'm still a little motivated. He's pretty good here. Don't worry. Besides, sooner or later, Nathaniel will know about Zion's existence. It's not a good idea to avoid him. The only way to secure Zion's safety, is to make Nathan think that Zion is not his son."

Mango's words were doubtfully right.

"Whatever you do, I get your back."

"As a matter of fact. Here is one thing... something happened today, Nathan almost saw me... naked. I need to cover up the scars on me. Do you have a reliable personal?"

When Mango thought of Nathan's indifferent look when he first came, she felt a little scared.

She found a way out this time, but what about in the future?

To seduce Nathan, she had to give in herself, sooner or later. At that time, the burns would really be exposed.

Abyss was silent for a while and respond in a low voice, "Go check the south alley of the city. There is a tattoo joint. The owner is good at his thing and happens to be a friend of mine. So, untraceable."

"Once again, thanks."

Mango and Abyss kept catching up about Rita, then hung up the phone. However, her mind was filled with the pity look on Rita, especially her pale and colorless face.
