The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1044

"Hey! When did you get behind me?"

Nathaniel put his phone away as if nothing had happened.

Mango said softly, "Dinner is ready, so wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Alright, I'm coming!"

Then, Mango quickly helped him up.

"I'm fine. I can do it myself."

"I'll support you for now. You've just recovered, but no one knows when your neuralgia will happen again."

The corners of Nathaniel's mouth twitched in annoyance when he heard Mango's words.

"Did you just give a call to Comrade Eagle?"

Mango asked casually.

"Yeah, Gisella is having kidney problems, and he said that it was pretty severe."

Mango was surprised when she heard what Nathaniel had said.

"How could this happen?"

Nathaniel knew what she was thinking at a glance and quickly said, "It has nothing to do with us. Her kidneys should have always been weak, and her condition only gotten worse recently." "What are you going to do then?"

Mango held his hand and led him to the chair as she asked.

Nathaniel looked at her and suddenly said with a smile, "I'm waiting for something interesting to happen."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Mango was a little confused by his reply.

"Wait and see. But don't worry, I won't let Gisella die, and I'll send her to the hospital for treatment. Also, I'll hand over all the evidence of her crimes to the police, and the law will judge her for her crimes. So, does that sound better?"

Nathaniel knew that Mango was always a kind-hearted person even though other people had harmed or hurt her. He was well aware that she didn't want him to stain his hand with blood by killing Gisella. Therefore, he didn't want to do anything that might worry her. However, even if he had to hand over Gisella so that the law could punish her, he could still get justice for Mango by resorting to his own methods. After all, Gisella had hurt his wife! Therefore, he would not allow her to live a good life in prison. However, he could not let Mango know about it.

There were some things that he had to keep from her.

Mango nodded while Nathaniel was deep in thought.

"I think that's the best solution. To be honest, I want to get my revenge on Gisella too. However, we have children and a big family business, so I don't think we should risk all these for scum like her. Sometimes I do believe that violence is the best answer. However, what about our children? Those people are always hiding in the dark and looking for opportunities to attack us, but I can't bear to see anything happening to the children you. Nathaniel, I've become timid after falling in love with you and having our kids. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I do. Don't worry, you won't need to worry about me anymore."

Nathaniel gripped Mango's hand tightly as he said this.

Mango felt somewhat relieved after hearing his words.

"Eat up then. I made your favourite dish, braised beef offal today."

"Wow! You've learned this dish?"

Nathaniel was surprised to hear this.

In fact, he didn't have any favourite food. However, this changed when Mango was caught up in a fire accident five years ago. Now, he had a special affection for this dish as he would think of her every time he ate this dish.

Now five years had passed, and this was still his favourite, but he did not expect Mango to remember it.

A trace of warmth flashed through Nathaniel's eyes at this thought.

Then, Mango said proudly, "Of course, I'm a genius! Isn't learning a new dish a piece of cake?"

"Yes, you're right, my wife is the smartest! Otherwise, how could she have given birth to such a smart daughter?"

Nathaniel continued to flatter Mango repeatedly.

Mango's lips curled up slightly after hearing his praises.

"Stop talking and eat up!"

Even though she was speaking in this manner, her lips perked up into a beautiful smile.

At this moment, Nathaniel wished that time could stand still.

After they finished their meal, Mango wanted to take a short break. Then, Nathaniel seized this opportunity to head to the seaside villa.

When Michael's men saw that Nathaniel had arrived, they stood neatly in two rows to welcome him.

"Mr. Ye!"

"Michael went out to do something. So, who is in charge now?"

Nathaniel asked this question softly. However, his imposing manner and composure were a little intimidating.

"Breckon Gonzales is in charge."

"Ask him to meet me then."

Then, Nathaniel headed directly to Michael's office.

Michael's office had a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere. However, there was a photo on his desk. The girl in the photo smiled brightly, but she could only remain in the photo frame forever. Nathaniel picked up the photo with a heavy heart.

Valentina Brass was not the only one who died in the undercover mission. However, Michael was the only one who loved her so deeply. He heard that Valentina's parents had moved on from her death, and they even kept a distance from Michael because of his notorious reputation. Also, they did not allow him to visit Valentina's grave to pay his respects.

Michael used to be the greatest pilot in the military region. Now, he wasn't a part of the army anymore, and he couldn't visit the cemetery of his beloved woman. In fact, Nathaniel didn't understand his pain and sorrow previously, but he completely understood it after what happened to Mango during the fire.

Therefore, he didn't want to recall what had happened five years ago.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Mr. Ye."

Breckon knocked on the door and entered. He was slightly stunned when he saw Nathaniel holding the photos of Valentina and Michael. Then, he whispered, "Mr. Ye, our boss doesn't like other people touching his photos. In fact, when he caught someone touching them, he cut off their hands!"

"Heh! Then tell Michael that I touched it. Let's see if he dares to chop off my hand."

Nathaniel said nonchalantly, and Breckon immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Sorry, Mr. Ye, I've overstepped my boundaries."

"It's alright. You're Michael's subordinate. It's not wrong for you to protect his belongings."

"

After saying this, Nathaniel put the photo down and turned to look at Breckon.

He was unfamiliar with this person, but he trusted Michael's instincts. After all, Micheal had a good eye for talent, and Nathaniel believed that he had chosen loyal subordinates.

"I have something to tell you."

"What is it, Mr. Ye?"

Breckon stood up straight as he asked this.

Nathaniel could tell from their behaviour that Michael had trained his men the same way the special forces unit had trained him. It seemed that Michael trusted them a lot, and they must have helped him a lot as well. However, it would be dangerous if one of them suddenly decided to betray him.

These thoughts crossed his mind unknowingly, and he said faintly, "Send Gisella to the military hospital for treatment. After that, sort out her crimes and hand them to the police. Also, find a way to inform her parents about her kidney failure. Can you do that?"

"No problem, sir!"

After that, Breckon walked out. Meanwhile, Nathaniel stayed in the office and felt somewhat depressed.

He wanted to leave, but he noticed that Michael's computer was on. He sighed and clicked on the webpage that popped out of the computer. However, his expression immediately changed when he saw what was on the computer.

Nathaniel immediately started scrolling through it. Then, he turned off the computer quietly.

After that, he walked out of the seaside villa and drove the car to the downtown area. He also made a phone call to Thomas on the way.

"Are you free these days? How do you feel like going on a trip?"

However, a muffled voice coming from the other end of the phone instead.

ON the other hand, Thomas quickly picked up the phone and put on a pair of pants before going to the balcony.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Ye?"

"Are you with Rainie now?"

Nathaniel lit up a cigarette.

Thomas coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, urn... yes."

"I didn't want to disturb your precious time together, but I can't trust no one except for you."

Thomas immediately became serious upon hearing what Nathaniel had said.

"Did something happen?"

"I'm afraid that something might happen to

Michael. Thomas, I want you to travel to Nakasara and protect Michael secretly. No matter what happens, the safety of Michael is most important."

After hearing what Nathaniel said, Thomas was slightly stunned.

"Comrade Eagle? He's in Nakasara? Wait, isn't he in Ocean City?"

"He went to Nakasara to do something for me. So, are you free to take up this task?"

"I'll leave right away!"

Nathaniel whispered, "You should also be careful. You know, I care about your safety too."

"I know. Don't worry, Mr. Ye. I will take care of myself. By the way, Merle told me a few days ago that there was a little chaos in Nakasara. Do you think we need to bring several men along?" Nathaniel furrowed his eyebrows when he heard Thomas' report.

He had almost forgotten about Merle if Thomas hadn't brought him up. Hence, he felt a little nostalgic when he heard Merle's name.

He knew that Merle liked Mango. Also, Merle had once betrayed Mango because of Isla, and he had regretted it. Other than that, he didn't know what had happened to Merle now.

"Nah, I don't think we should do that now. Also, you should do a background check on Merle to see whether he will harm Mango. If he still thinks of Mango as his mistress, he can easily handle the matter in Nakasara with his ability."

"Alright, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Thomas headed to the room. Meanwhile, Rainie was seen already finished wearing her clothes, and she was about to leave.

"Are you leaving?"

Thomas put his arms around Rainie and wanted to make her stay. However, Rainie pushed his mouth away instead.

"Were you talking to Nathaniel just now?"

"Well, yeah."

"Are you leaving again?"

"Yes."

When Thomas saw the displeased expression on Rainie's face, he quickly tightened his grip and said, "Why don't you go on a trip with me?"

Rainie did not expect that Thomas would invite her, and she was immediately in a good mood again.

"Nah, I don't want to. Nathaniel must have sent you because an emergency has happened. Therefore, I can't tag along or have fun with you.

Also, I don't intend to be your secretary. Hence, you can come back as soon as you finish your work. Besides, I have songs to record. Urgh! Ares has been pestering me about them!"

Thomas was relieved after he saw that Rainie was in a good mood.

"Wow! You scared me! I don't think I could sleep well tonight if you were still mad at me."

"Get lost! I don't believe your words at all! By the way, can you do me a favour when you're out?"

Thomas had no reason to turn down her request.

"Tell me what is it then."

"Can you help me investigate who Anaya is?"

"Wait, are you talking about Anaya Ye?"

Thomas frowned slightly. He thought the name sounded familiar, but he could not remember who it was.

Rainie whispered, "Denver sent a message from abroad saying that he's doing great because of the treatment, and he should be starting his recovery process soon. However, it will take another year and a hal for him to recover completely. He mentioned that Anaya is Barney Soo's sister, and she visited the Blu family last time. When Kolton Ye tried to destroy the Blu family, she suddenly disappeared. That entire incident stressed me out, so I don't even remember her existence. Denver requested me to help him with this. So, can you take care of it for me?"

Thomas immediately patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, I will definitely help him because he's my brother-in-law!"

Just then, Rainie's cell phone suddenly rang.
