The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 27

Zion had no idea that his phone call caused countless hostility from his father, Nathan. He sat on the chair with his legs crossed and held a lollipop in his hand. He smiled, "Mommy, I am now at St. Berg Orphanage. Do you remember that I funded an orphan before? She is here. I contacted the dean today. Come over and meet her. Maybe because my godfather Abyss invested here, the dean is very kind to me. Mommy, will you pick me up after you are done?"

"Okay. Tell me when the time comes. I'll pick you up."

Mango replied with a smile.

Nathan's expression turned even worse.

"She is going to pick up this man, personally?"

"This guy is coming to Ocean City?"

He had to go back and check it out.

After Mango hung up the phone, she looked up and saw that Nathan was still there. She couldn't help frowning.

"Still here? Do you need help?"

Mango was very gentle when she was on the phone. But as soon as hanging up, she became very impatient to Nathan. This made Nathan uneasy.

"Who do you need to pick up? Let me do it for you... you can not leave the house..." Mango couldn't figure out what Nathan meant, but she said faintly, "Thank you, but No, thank you. You have to leave, NOW. It can be very misunderstanding when my friend sees you, I don't want to explain that."

Nathan looked very uneasy, but he didn't say anything but left with anger.

Mango rarely saw Nathan being rational, but now his reaction was new to her. She turned on the phone and checked the address Zion sent, decided to get a car.

Nathan left the residence, very depressed. It just happened Macy called and asked him if he wanted to come back for dinner. Nathan replied impatiently, "I have something to do today. Don't wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Nathan looked at Mango's house and went to the nearby supermarket. He bought some groceries and knocked on Mango's door again.

Mango frowned when she saw Nathan standing in front of her again with things in his hands.

"What now? What do you want, if I may ask?"

"You're ill and there's no one taking care of you. I'll make you something to eat before I go."

After that, Nathan was about to go in, but Mango blocked him outside the door.

"Thank you, but it's totally not necessary. At least, I can order takeout."

"Takeaways are not nutritious. With your health condition, I can't leave you like this. As the president of a partner company, I have to care about you." Without confirmation, Nathan walked himself while talking.

Mango couldn't stop him, on one hand, she had never seen Nathan acting shamelessly like this, on the other hand, she wondered if Nathan could cook.

They had been married for three years, every time she cooked for him. In her memory, this man was born and raised in a rich family, who had never set foot in a kitchen before.

Mango leaned against the door of the kitchen with her arms crossed in front of her chest, watching Nathan washing, cutting, and stir- frying. Surprisingly, all steps were done in one breath. Skillfully, seamlessly and beautifully. Mango was even obsessed for a moment.

When did this man learn how to cook?

Did he learn this for the child with Macy?

Mango became jealous again.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be a master cook."

Mango complemented, sarcastically.

Nathan, unaffected, smiled, "Wisdom was not in good condition and was picky about food. I have to learn."

Mango certainly knew who Wisdom Ye was. Jealousy became anger now.

For a b*stard son with a mistress, he could learn to cook in person. But for Zion and Rita, what did he do as a father?

"Get out! Get out!"

Mango suddenly pulled Nathan's arm and pushed him away with all her strength. She slammed the door, her eyes wet and red.

She told herself not to care about these things. Didn't she already know what kind of a jerk he was? But her heart still hurt. When she heard that he could do everything for Macy's child, she could not control her anger.

If it wasn't the fire five years ago, and if it weren't for his cruelty, how could Rita end up in the hospital?

Nathan was unforgivable!

Mango leaned against the door and slowly slid onto the floor, holding back her tears.

Confused and off-guarded, Nathan was driven out, in the funny- looking Sponge Bob apron. But he noticed Mango's eyes.

He carefully went through the conversation just then. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Wisdom Ye!

Nathan suddenly regretted it.

If this woman was really his wife, no matter what happened five years ago, the children between them might have been gone. However, he mentioned Macy, another woman's child right in her face, which was like stabbing her old wound again.

How could he be such a jerk?

Nathan raised his hand and tried to knock on the door again, yet after a long while, he gave up.

He sighed, took a deep look at the door, took off the apron, and put it at the door, then left with guilt and loneliness.
