The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 1038
Nathaniel felt that Mango's facial expression was hilarious!
He grinned, "Is it that difficult to guess his thoughts? After all, he is my biological father. At that time, Sisi would definitely refuse to meet him, and I was in prison. I did not admit that he was my father, and he had never claimed to be my father even until his death. However, the only person he could entrust his dying wish to was you, his daughter-in-law. He has done too many misdeeds in his life. However, the law has already punished him. Therefore, let's just forget about the past. Besides, I'm his son, and I should be the one responsible for his funeral. I did not tell you this, but I've settled the matter myself. I had already known that he had bought a grave himself. Since he did not want to be buried next to the ancestral tomb, let's just hope that he will have a good life with Marrisa in heaven."
Mango could notice the sadness in his eyes while he said this.
She held his head and whispered, "You still have your child and me."
"I know. Besides, I think that I'm quite a pitiful person as well. After all, my parents gave birth to
Nik and me for their own intentions. Now, they've all passed away and left me alone in this world. I really don't know what I would do without you and our children. Mango, thank you for not giving me up, and thank you for being by my side."
Upon hearing this, Mango was at a loss for words.
"Well, let's move on and look at the bright side. After packing up and eating, we will be heading to Windsor Square. Since everyone will be there, we should attend the gathering as well, right?" Mango quickly changed the topic instead.
Nathaniel smiled and glanced over her with tenderness in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Rita had changed into a beautiful princess dress. Soon, Nathaniel drew them to Windsor Square himself.
Windsor Square was actually one of Noah's properties. It had been open to the public for many years, and people who usually visited it were all VIP members. Later on, Noah had built up a playground and other children's facilities for their own children.
Therefore, Rita fell in love with the place the moment she arrived.
"Wow! There are slides here! Can I go and play, daddy and mommy?"
Mango smiled lovingly when she saw Rita's adorable and naive expression.
"Okay, but you have to greet the uncles first."
"Aww... alright."
Rita agreed reluctantly.
After that, Nathaniel brought them to the meeting hall where he and his friends would usually meet up.
Just then, Morgan had arrived with his wife and children. Noah had also brought Genevieve, who was currently pregnant, along. Thus, Nathaniel smiled broadly when he saw them arriving. "Hey, Nathan."
"Hey, this is my wife Mango, and my daughter, Rita."
Nathaniel introduced his family to his friends immediately.
This was the first time Mango had met Morgan Eaves in person.
Mango could tell that he was a soldier immediately, and he had a dominant aura around him that she could not forget.
"Greetings, Chief."
"Just call me Morgan. We're all friends here."
A faint smile appeared on Morgan's face as he said this.
Meanwhile, Rita saw Bjorn and immediately ran over with a smile.
"Bjorn, you're here too?"
"Yeah. Here, this is for you."
Bjorn took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Rita.
"Thank you, Bjorn!"
Rita took it happily and thanked him with a bright smile.
Morgan looked at his son and said with a grin, "I was wondering why you didn't want to eat this chocolate. It turned out that you wanted to give it to Rita." "Urgh! Don't be such a busybody!"
Bjorn responded indifferently. Then, he turned to Rita and said, "Rita, let's go over there and see if there's anything nice to eat." "Sounds good!"
Rita was a glutton, so obviously, she would not reject such an invitation.
Mango was relieved when she saw her daughter and Bjorn were getting along well with each other.
"Eugene hasn't arrived yet?"
Nathaniel hung up Mango's coat and asked
casually.
"I think they're on the way. Well, they should be here soon."
As they spoke, Eugene walked in.
"What? Why are all of you here already?"
"Eugene, why did you came here alone? Where are your wife and children?"
Noah looked behind him and asked.
Eugene said lightly, "They'll be here soon. My wife went to pick the kids up, so I brought some fruits over here first."
"Why did you come alone? Aren't you worried about your wife fetching the kids by herself?"
Morgan was obviously unhappy.
Eugene felt wronged and said, "Boss, I wanted to help her with it! However, Emberly wanted me to come first, so what can I do about that? I must obey my wife's orders, right?" "Alright, alright. We haven't played mahjong for a long time, right? Come on, let's gather at a table."
Nathaniel tried to ease up the tension, and Morgan finally calmed down a little.
Suddenly, Esther stood up and said, "Why don't us women gather over there then?"
"Sounds good!"
Mango followed Esther to the sofa.
When Mango saw that Genevieve's belly was getting bigger due to her pregnancy, she was a little envious.
"When's your due date? There are only a few months left, right? Also, where's Barney? I saw that you all didn't bring her today."
"Oh, she has classes today, so she won't come back for now. Barney learns things quickly, so I don't want to waste her talent. Furthermore, Noah said that she can inherit our legacy in the future if she wants to."
Genevieve's face was filled with pride when she spoke of her children.
Barney was a child that Noah and Genevieve had saved. She cherished her life and the resources that her parents had given her. Thus, she studied hard despite suffering from disabilities. Hence, Noah and Genevieve were pleased with her performance.
Mango smiled and said, "She's indeed a good child. I still remember the time when she rescued Zion. It's been a long time since both of them have met, right?"
"Yeah, it seems like Zion is also very busy."
Ester chimed in with a smile, "Zion is performing exceptionally well in the military region. I heard from Morgan that the superior intends to train him personally. Alas! I'm afraid that he will have less time to come back home in the future."
Upon hearing this, Mango sighed and said, "It seems that I have a son who can't stay by my side every day. Argh! That's too depressing."
"My son, Bjorn, was also sent to the military by his father at a young age. To be honest, the children who have been raised in such an environment will have a great advantage compared to other children. However, they paid the price by giving up their childhood. Sometimes, I even wonder if that's the best decision for them."
Esther's voice was gentle and soft, and Mango felt that she was approachable.
After hearing this, Mango began to miss her son.
When Genevieve saw them acting this way, she couldn't help but say, "Stop! Don't say anything else! What if Noah sends our only son to the military in the future? I'll be devastated!"
Ester and Mango burst out into laughter when they heard what she was saying.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel withdrew his gaze when he saw that Mango was chatting happily with the other women.
"What's up? Are you afraid that my wife will bully your wife?"
Morgan threw out a tile casually.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel responded with a faint smile, "I am afraid that she will find it hard to get along with people."
After that, it was Nathaniel's turn to attack.
Then, Noah said with a grin on his face, "Huh? How could that be possible? I remember how Mango used to block the reporters out of the way. She wasn't shy at all then!" Then, Noah threw out another tile.
"Clang!"
Nathaniel grabbed it immediately.
Noah was a little stunned, but he didn't say anything. However, Nathaniel continued to score repeatedly.
Noah looked at his tiles and glanced at Nathaniel. He could not help but ask gloomily, "Nathan, did you do it on purpose?"
"Well, yeah, I wanted you to take all of your money."
Nathaniel admitted it directly.
"What the hell? Are you sure that you're not a swindler?"
Noah was upset when he heard that.
"Did you see that?"
Nathaniel glanced at him and raised his eyebrows with an arrogant expression. "Don't say anything if you don't have any evidence!"
Thus, Noah could only control his anger.
The next game was almost a battlefield between Nathaniel and Noah.
After all, no matter what Noah did, Nathaniel always had a way to win over him.
In the end, Noah had lost hundreds of dollars, while Nathaniel had lots of chips pilling in front of him.
Upon seeing this, Morgan and Eugene both held back their laughter and continued to play in silence.
Noah pushed the tiles away and looked at Nathaniel gloomily, "Are you doing it on purpose? Why? Is it because I made fun of your wife?"
"Exactly. Also, you did it more than once."
Nathaniel said lightly.
"What?"
Noah was stunned again when he heard Nathaniel's reply.
What else did he say?
Then, Nathaniel muttered, "A few days ago, you also said that my wife was a stupid woman."
"D*mn it!"
Noah became irritated immediately.
"It seems like you're really good at holding grudges, aren't you?"
"We'll talk about the rest after you treat my neuralgia."
"Are you pleading for my help right now? Hah! Nathaniel, I don't think you should be this arrogant then!"
Meanwhile, Nathaniel turned a deaf ear to Noah's words.
"Are you still going to play or not?"
"What do you think? Morgan, why don't you say something?"
Morgan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't do anything about you guys. But Noah, your skills are really terrible! Nathaniel still won despite all the tactics you did."
It seemed that there was no way they could continue with the game.
Then, Noah got up directly.
"I'm not playing anymore. Urgh! You're such a bully."
"Hey, are you giving up? Otherwise, how am I supposed to return you the money I've won?"
Noah's mouth twitched in annoyance when he heard what Nathaniel said.
"Hmph! I'm rich enough to give this money away to you!"
"Well, glad to know that."
After saying that, Nathaniel directly pushed the pile of chips to Noah.
"Go and exchange all these for money. I want my cash now."
"F*ck! Are you crazy? Where should I get such a large sum of cash from?"
Noah was displeased as he felt that Nathaniel had come here to ruin his mood on purpose.
However, Nathaniel said indifferently, "I just want to give the cash I won today to my wife. What's wrong? Do you have a problem with that?"
Noah felt that Nathaniel was being unreasonable right now!
Didn't he just say that Mango was a stupid and shy woman?
What was wrong with that?
"Hurry up!"
Nathaniel kicked him as he said this.
Noah gritted his teeth in anger. However, he still called over the manager to count the number of ships and exchange them in cash. Then, he looked at Genevieve with a pitiful expression and said, "Mrs. Soo, all of them are bullying me! Can't you help your poor husband a little?"
After hearing what he said, Genevieve froze for a moment and said innocently, "Didn't you say that women shouldn't interfere with men's matters? You guys can solve your own problems."
After that, she directly turned to look at Mango and said, "Your body still need to replenish some nutrition. Come to my house, and I will give you some prescriptions. After all, I'm still good at gynaecology."
"All right."
Noah was depressed when he saw that his wife was ignoring him, and she only cared about Mango's condition instead.
"Nathaniel Ye, I think we need to have a one-on-one talk!"
Noah gnashed his teeth in annoyance when he said this.
However, Nathaniel said with a smile, "Well, I haven't fought for a long time. Why not we head over to the boxing ring on the top floor for some practice?"
