The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 87

Originally, he had planned to use Zion's child custody to keep Mango. But now, when he heard Zack's words, he felt like a complete jerk.

Let alone that his son wouldn't recognize him, even he hated himself as a person!

Nathaniel patted Zack on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, Zack. Thank you for teaching me all of this."

"That Miss Katherine, are you going to marry her, Mr. Ye?"

Zack could see that Nathaniel's feeling for Mango was different from the feeling he had for others, so he asked casually.

Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Zion is my son, my biological son! Katherine is Zion's biological mother, so what do you think I should do?"

Zack was stunned.

He knew that Nathaniel had once married to someone, but it was also known to all the people in Ocean City that he didn't love Mango.

"Is this Katherine the woman you met outside and with whom you have this illegitimate child?"

Zack could only make such a guess. Although he didn't think that Nathaniel would have done such a thing, he could not really figure it out.

Nathaniel was slightly stunned, and then he understood what Zack was thinking. He said with a smile, "From the beginning to the end, I only have one woman."

But from Zack's point of view, it seemed that from the beginning to the end, Katherine had been the woman that Nathaniel had kept outside and to whom he had devoted all his life.

"No wonder Mr. Ye asked us to treat Zion specially. He turned out to be the young master. Now that you just said it, I found that Wisdom and Zion really looked alike. But the talent of these two brothers is somewhat different. Zion is like you."

Hearing Zack's words, Nathaniel's eyes suddenly flashed and he said in a low voice, "In the future, stop saying that Wisdom is not talented. Everyone has his own strength. Wisdom is no different than other ordinary children. He is even much better. But we shouldn't compare him to Zion."

"Mr. Ye, I didn't mean that. I..."

"I know. I have been talented since I was a child. I pick up everything fast. All the elders around me called me a genius and treated me differently. I have always felt myself to be excellent. Until the year when I turned 20 years old, I finally understood that there was no difference in excellence among people. Sometimes, a normally mediocre person would be of more use than a genius like me at the critical moment."

There was a hint of pain in Nathaniel's voice.

Zack didn't understand why he said that. As he still wanted to ask, Nathaniel had already got up and went to the training ground next to him, and began the training spontaneously. He could tell that there was a lot of pain hidden in Nathaniel's heart, except he couldn't tell these to others.

Under the moonlight, Nathaniel's sweat came down like raindrops, Zack was accompanying him on the side, and Zion was lying on the windowsill, looking at Nathaniel's robust movement, and secretly swore that he must surpass this man.

Mango, however, seemed to know nothing about it and she slept quietly all the time.

When the morning light rose from the horizon, Nathaniel finally stopped with fatigue. He lay down on the board as if he had fallen asleep.

Mango opened her eyes slightly and felt that something was wrong. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

There seemed to be a familiar smell lingering in the room.

She frowned slightly and turned her head to look at Zion. She saw that he was sleeping soundly. His small hands were holding her hands tightly, with so much strength and they felt so firm.

Mango raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

She gently pulled out her hand, pulled over the quilt and covered Zion. She got up and stretched herself, only to see a person lying on the training ground.

The morning fog blocked her view, but Mango could recognize that it was Nathaniel.

The smell of the room made her frown again.

When did Nathaniel come?

What was he doing here? Did he enter the room?

Mango was puzzled. She put on a coat, got up and went to the training ground.

When Zack saw Mango coming over, he quietly retreated.

Nathaniel seemed to be immersed in his own world and did not notice being approached by someone.

Mango stood in front of him and looked at Nathaniel, who was sweating all over. She felt confused for a moment.

It was as if he was still the man she had been infatuated with back then.

"Why did you fall asleep here?"

Mango opened her mouth lightly.

Nathaniel suddenly opened his eyes and saw Mango standing in the morning light, like a fairy with a hint of fantasy.

"Mango?"

Nathaniel suddenly sat up and subconsciously held Mango's hand.

Mango wanted to pull back her hand, but she was too weak.

When Nathaniel held onto the warm palm of her hand, he finally realized what he saw wasn't a fantasy.

"It's so cold, why did you come out? Why don't you put on more clothes."

Nathaniel quickly reacted and pulled the coat beside him over and put it on Mango's body. His unique smell instantly enveloped Mango.

Looking at this affectionate man in front of her, Mango really thought that she was blind.

How could the ice-cold Nathaniel be so gentle to her?

"Mr. Ye, don't you get tired of pretending?"

Mango's voice was cold, but it made Nathaniel frown slightly.

"Pretending?"

"Aren't you? I heard that Mr. Ye was cold as ice to his previous wife and didn't care about the life and death of his wife at all. Now you are taking such good care of me, a woman who you have only known for more than ten days. Are you for real Mr. Ye? Or do I simply look better than your wife? If I tell Mr. Ye that I have been through plastic surgery, will Mr. Ye still think I am good-looking? Will you still be so affectionate to me and treat me with such gentleness?"

Mango's words were full of sarcasm.

Nathaniel didn't care much about it though. He said in a low voice, "You're as beautiful as my wife. The beauty of a person doesn't lie in her appearance, but in her heart. I never told my wife that I loved her. By the time I wanted to say it, it was too late."

"Haha, Mr. Ye, you're really good at joking."

Mango did not believe Nathaniel's words at all.

She must have been out of her mind, so that she would feel pitiful for him being in this cold wind alone, and came out to talk to him by some unexplainable impulse. Mango turned around and was about to leave, but she heard Nathaniel ask in a low voice, "What happened five years ago? Don't you feel uncomfortable by putting on show with me like this? Mango, what happened five years ago? Can you tell me?"

Mango suddenly stopped.

He directly made it explicit.

Mango turned her head slightly, and hatred was already showing in her eyes.

"What happened five years ago? Don't you have any damn clue Mr. Ye?"

It was not her fault for being rude, but that memory was just so unforgettable that every time she thought of it, she felt extremely painful. But how could Nathaniel look so innocent as if everything was all her fault out of no reason?

Nathaniel took a step forward. His upper body was naked, and the smell of male hormones from his body instantly poured on her face.

Mango subconsciously took a step back, fearing that she would be tempted.

It had been five years, yet his charm was still irresistible.

However, Nathaniel seemed to have seen through her intentions and he stopped her directly by the partition of the training ground.

He held on of his arms against the wall behind Mango's back, and the breath of a man became so sensual.

Mango wanted to push him away, only to find that he was half naked, and she finally put down her hand.

"Mr. Ye, please show some respect!"

"Show respect? I am making out with my wife. What respect are you talking about? Mango, exactly for how long are you going to pretend with me for?"

Nathaniel's aggressiveness also made Mango angry.

"Pretending with you? How can I even compare with you! Five years ago, you have put on such a good show, and five years later, you loved me even more deeply. What? Are you acting for yourself? Or are you acting for me? Do you think that I am still that silly woman who gave up

everything for you five years ago, don't you? Nathaniel, this is enough! No matter what you say today, I won't believe you."

"I have never thought of hurting you, nor have I thought of hurting our child! Five years ago, I did send you away because I wanted to protect you! Why don't you believe me?"

Nathaniel had already explained before, but looking at Mango now, it was obvious that she didn't believe it.

Mango sneered and said, "Believe you? Well, if you can rip out your heart right now and show it to me, I will believe you!"

"Really? Will you believe me if I show you my heart?"

Nathaniel's eyes stared motionlessly on Mango.

The pair of charming eyes, which had once made Mango so obssessed, now kind of felt repressive, making her somewhat difficult to adjust. "It's easier said than done. Nathaniel, don't try to do this to me again. I don't buy this! The big fire five years ago had already burned all the connection between us. Now I am Katherine! Do you understand? I am Katherine, the designer of H'J Group! There is nothing but business cooperation relationship between you and me!"

After finishing her words, Mango pushed Nathaniel away, she then turned around and left.

Her heart was trembling.

At this point, he had already said that he was willing to give her his heart, but why didn't she take the opportunity to say that she wanted his kidney?

Wasn't Rita still waiting for Nathaniel's kidney to save his life?

But just at that moment, when she saw Nathaniel's red eyes looking all hurt, her heart softened.

How could she be softhearted?

Her precious daughter was still waiting for her to save her life!

Mango held her palms tightly, and she didn't even notice that her nails had already pinched into her skin.

Nathaniel's heart suddenly felt empty when he saw her walk away with resolution.

He took out a dagger from his trouser leg and shouted at Mango.

"Mango, would you really believe me if I give you my heart? I didn't want you to die, and I didn't want to harm our child either. In fact, when I knew that I had become a father, do you have any idea how excited I was? Everything I told you was all true. Mango Shen, stop!"

Nathaniel's words did not stop Mango, and instead, they even made her walk faster.

She couldn't listen any more.

She couldn't have mercy on Nathaniel!

She only came back for the organ on his body. Why did she listen to him deceiving herself?

Or did he deliberately do this because he knew something?

Mango was guessing in her mind. She was walking fast in the beginning, but after hearing Nathaniel's words, she ran up as if he was a beast that could devour her at any time.

Nathaniel's heart ached terribly when he saw her like this.

It was all his fault that he didn't cherish her in the past. Now even if he wanted to have Mango back, she wouldn't give him a chance. Did she really want his heart?

So what if he just gave it to her?
