The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1181

No one would be able to understand Magnolia's sorrow.

Meanwhile, Mango watched as the doctors pushed Desmond out of the emergency room. When she heard the doctor say that he had only suffered from minor injuries, she heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, Desmond looked around and he was relieved when he did not see Victoria.

Mango felt hilarious when she saw this scene.

"Are you finally afraid of her now? Hah! I thought you were happy because you did nothing even though Victoria treated you badly all these years!"

Although she felt sorry for Desmond, she was still upset when she remembered how Desmond had been submissive towards Victoria.

Then, Desmond smiled wryly and said, "I didn't want to fight with her because I was just trying to keep my promise to Marissa."

"Urgh! Victoria has been taking advantage of you all these years! If you stood up for yourself from the beginning, things wouldn't turn out to be like this. Well, forget it. I won't interfere with your decision since you have made a choice now.

Hmm, one more thing. Are you really going to let her stay in prison?"

Mango asked this as she had her own suspicions.

After all, Desmond was someone who looked cold and indifferent, but he was actually a soft-hearted man. Therefore, Mango was afraid that he would bail Victoria out as Marissa had treated him well.

She knew that Victoria would not give up after she was being threatened and frightened. Furthermore, Victoria could step out of line when she had the chance to, so she would only dig her own grave. Then, Desmond pondered for a moment and responded, "Well, let her stay there. It's safer inside, so she can see the reality clearly."

"Aren't you afraid that she will call you an ungrateful brat?"

"Bah! Whatever! I know I'm not."

Mango was somewhat satisfied upon seeing that Desmond had made up his mind.

After that, she looked at Desmond and then Nathaniel. She whispered, "Well, you don't have to worry about this. Therefore, leave it to Nathan and me. Your main responsibility during this period is to accompany Haniya and take care of yourself. After ten days, you need to follow us to Angolla."

"All right."

Desmond had no objection to this plan.

After leaving the hospital, Mango and Nathaniel got into their car.

Then, Nathaniel asked in a low voice, "Why do you only want to leave in ten days? I thought you would go right away."

"No, we don't need to mess up our plans for other people. Besides, Bernard still wants to kill us. Also, the fight between Lebanon and Lexis won't end in these ten days anyway, so there's no need to rush as our presence in Angolla won't change anything. Therefore, we really don't need to worry about all these things."

When Mango said this, Nathaniel knew that she had become more mature.

Indeed, they could not change anything even if they went there earlier as they were only planning to turn the tables. If what Magnolia said was true, there was no need for them to trouble themselves as Bernard, Lexis and Lebanon were busy fighting for power in Angolla.

So, they should use this time to do something that they wanted.

"What are you planning to do then?"

"Ask Ned to send someone to rescue Bettany secretly after he finds her. We can talk about the rest ten days later. For now, I just want to take my children out and play."

Mango felt that she had barely spent any time with her children. Therefore, she would accompany them as much as she could when they still needed her.

Obviously, Nathaniel was happy to hear Mango's words.

"Well, is there any place that you want to visit?"

"Nah, not really."

Mango smiled when she spoke.

After all, she had come up with this idea suddenly, so she had not planned anything yet. However, if they wanted to travel somewhere, she would definitely choose a warmer destination as it was cold here. Suddenly, she thought about Nakasara.

However, Mango decided not to go there because of what happened at Longford County.

Then, Nathaniel put her hand in his and whispered, "Let's ask the children what they think when we got back later."

"Can we bring Rita out?"

Mango knew that Rita stayed in Morgan's house to accompany Bjorn, but if they went out to play without Rita, she would feel terrible.

Nathaniel sighed softly and replied, "Well ask her

later, okay?"

"Alright."

Then, they headed to Morgan's house.

Even though this was the second time they had come to Morgan's house, it was still heavily guarded.

Suddenly, Mango thought of the matter that Esther asked her to investigate last time. Although there was still no news from the Dark Night Empire, Mango knew that Esther was not that weak.

This time, they were surprised as the guards had allowed them to enter as well. Perhaps the guards had allowed them to do this because of Mateo's influence.

Mango and Nathaniel both thought of the same reason, and then they walked into Morgan's house.

Meanwhile, Esther was still planting and reading. Thus, she had been living her life peacefully.

When she saw Mango and Nathaniel, she smiled, "Hey! Happy New Year! Did you come here to greet me?"

"Yes, Esther. Happy New Year!"

Mango immediately greeted Esther with a smile.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel did the same and then went straight to see the children.

On the other hand, Esther took Mango's hand and they sat down. Then, she smiled, "Is it cold outside?"

"It's still okay. Your house is warm, though."

"Of course! I'm using the heater."

Then, Esther asked the servant to make some tea for Mango.

After that, Mango whispered when there were only two of them left in the living room, "Esther, let me..."

"I'm afraid that I can't wear the coat you gave me. Well, I can't go out now anyway, so you can keep it to yourself."

Mango wanted to tell Esther that she still had no news, but Esther stopped her abruptly. Suddenly, Mango had an inkling of why Esther was acting this way.

Then, she stared into Esther's eyes while the latter looked at the table with a faint smile. Although Esther did not say anything, Mango understood what was going on.

There was an audio monitoring system in Esther's house!

Suddenly, Mango felt upset when she learnt this.

Urgh! Who did this?

Did Mateo do this?

Now that Mateo had taken over Morgan's position, was he also helping the higher-ups to monitor the Eaves family?

Mango's heart felt upset upon thinking of this.

"Did Mateo come here before this?"

Mango knew that she should not ask such a question at this time, but she really could not help it.

Esther was stunned to hear her question for a moment. Then she smiled, "Yes. Mateo and Chief Hans came to pay respects on the New Year's Day. However, I still don't think it isn't appropriate for them to come here at this time."

Mango was startled when she heard Esther's response.

Did she misunderstand Mateo's intentions?

After all, Mango was a little agitated over this matter.

"Well, we come here to take Rita back for a few days, but well see what she wants to do. If she doesn't want to come home with us, then we won't force her."

Esther didn't say anything much, and she replied with a smile, "Hmm, yeah. You guys should bring Rita away because she shouldn't stay here with us anymore. It's the New Year, so all of you should have a reunion."

Meanwhile, Mango had a lot more to say to Esther. However, it was difficult for her to do so as there was a monitoring system here.

Urgh! This was too hard for her!

After all, all of them did not know when the house arrest was going to end.

Mango told herself silently that she had to Dark Night Empire to speed up their work. Otherwise, she would only continue to torture herself as she couldn't say anything to Esther right now! Therefore, Esther and Mango could only talk about their family matters.

When Nathaniel and Rita came out, Bjorn and Lonnie followed them. Thus, Mango could tell that all the three kids had a good relationship.

After that, Bjorn and Lonnie greeted Mango politely when there saw her.

"Mommy, Aunty Esther gave me a red envelope! Look, there's a lot of money!"

Rita took her red envelope happily and handed it over to Mango as she exclaimed.

It had been a long time since Mango held Rita in her arms, so she missed her daughter very much.

Thus, Mango carried Rita on her lap and touched Rita's nose lovingly. Then, she said, "You ungrateful brat! You must have forgotten me by now, right?"

"Of course, I didn't! You're the best, and I love you the most!"

When Rita said this childishly, her eyes curved into a smile, and she held Mango's neck with her tiny arms.

Suddenly, everyone laughed happily when they heard Rita's soft voice.

"Happy New Year, Uncle and Auntie Ye!"

Meanwhile, Bjorn and Lonnie hurriedly came to pay their respects immediately. They did not look as upset as before, so Mango was glad that they were doing well emotionally. Well, Mango did not know how Esther had managed to explain this situation to her children. However, she felt glad because the children hadn't been affected by this problem."

"Alright, Happy New Year to you too! Well, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare the red envelopes. Can I transfer both of you some money later?"

"Nah, you don't have to do that."

Esther stopped her immediately when she heard this.

However, Mango smiled, "Nah, it's fine! After all, I need to give your children some new year's blessings too!"

As Mango spoke, she transferred the money to the children without any hesitation. Thus, she ended up giving them one thousand six hundred dollars each and hoped that they would have a bright future. After that, Bjorn and Lonnie thanked Mango happily.

Initially, Mango thought that Rita would not follow them back just like the last time. In fact, Mango was even prepared to be disappointed again. However, to her surprise, Rita asked happily, "Mommy, daddy said that we're going out to play. Where are you bringing us this time?"

Mango was astonished when she heard Rita's question.

"Huh? Are you coming back with us?"

"Yeah, unless you don't want me anymore..."

Rita pouted as she said this, and tears started forming in her bright eyes. Then, Mango was anxious when she saw that Rita was about to cry.

"What? Don't cry, my baby! How could I not want you? Well, I'm just a little surprised and happy at the same time. Why don't we go home now? We'll see where your brothers want to go, okay?"

"Haha! Sure thing!"

Suddenly, Rita became happy again.

Mango and Nathaniel knew that Rita was going to follow them back, so they did not stay in Morgan's house any longer. Furthermore, they were in a critical situation right now. Thus, they could only get Morgan and Esther into trouble if they stayed here longer.

Then, Nathaniel whispered, "Esther, well leave first. Just call me if you need anything."

"Sure... and don't come here anymore, okay? Please don't get yourselves in trouble at this time."

Mango felt like crying again when she heard what Esther said.

After that, Nathaniel took his family out of the Eaves family.

Meanwhile, Bjorn and Loonie did not cry, and they just sent the Ye family away.

However, Mango was still upset. Suddenly, while Nathaniel was driving, he said softly, "Fasten your seatbelt now. There's a car behind us, and we need to shake it off."

When Mango heard what Nathaniel had said, she turned around and saw a car with no license plate following them incessantly.
