The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1197

Suddenly, Mango felt suffocated.

"Nathan..."

There was a hint of puzzlement and sadness in Mango's voice.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was blinded by anger as a strong urge to murder filled his heart. It seemed as if a voice was shouting in his ear, "Kill her, kill her!"

Right now, Nathaniel was entirely consumed with rage and violence. He was bloodthirsty, so he could only calm the madness deep down by murdering someone. However, the sad voice he heard was familiar, and it gently soothed his heart with warmth and affection.

At that moment, Nathaniel loosened his grasp slightly.

Mango struggled and broke free from him immediately before she clutched her neck and gasped for air. Then, she looked straight at Nathaniel with her beautiful pair of eyes. Something was wrong with Nathaniel!

He seemed out of focus, and his eyes were bloodshot as if a demon had possessed him!

At this point, his aura was overwhelming with intense viciousness. It felt as if he wanted to tear down the entire room.

"Nathaniel, wake up! I am your wife, Mango Shen! Urgh! Nathaniel!"

Mango shouted.

Then, Nathaniel frowned as if he was deep in thought, though he seemed at a loss at the same time.

On the other hand, Mango did not know what happened to him, but she could not hold back any longer.

So, she stepped forward quickly and slapped Nathaniel in the face without hesitation.

"Wake up!"

"Are you trying to get yourself in trouble?"

Suddenly, Nathaniel grabbed Mango's hand, and he was about to break her arm forcefully. Just then, a clear drop of tear fell on the back of his hand.

"You're insane! Are you trying to kill me? Nathaniel, you f*cking b*stard! I dare you to kill me! Do it now!"

Mango took a step forward as she spoke, and she even stuck her head out.

"Come on, do it! What are you waiting for?" At that instant, Nathaniel was dazed by Mango's furious rebuke. His eyes gradually became clear as if the fog in his mind had finally cleared. Then, he noticed Mango crying in front of him.

She was angry and upset as she used her hand to wipe away her tears aggrievedly. However, Nathaniel's lips curled up into a smile when he saw Mango's angry expression.

In a flash, he pulled her arm forcefully, and Mango fell into his embrace uncontrollably.

Then, Nathaniel's familiar cold aura and his fragrance enveloped Mango again.

"Let me go, you b*stard! Weren't you about to strangle me to death? Why are you hugging me now? You jerk!"

Mango raised her fist and hit Nathaniel's chest repeatedly without thinking too much.

Then, the smile on Nathaniel's face widened.

"That's enough. Don't your hands hurt?"

Mango's strike felt ticklish to Nathaniel because of her weak strength. Nevertheless, he only spoke when he saw that there was a faint blush on her face as she was tired. However, Mango felt extremely wronged.

She was incredibly worried, yet Nathaniel went crazy after she came in. Furthermore, he had almost strangled her to death!

At that moment, she felt inexplicably aggrieved, but she didn't know why.

At the thought of this, Mango became angry, and she bit on Nathaniel's chest without warning.

A numbing pain instantly spread throughout Nathaniel's body.

However, he felt pleasure along with the pain.

Then, he looked down at his wife in his arms and said meaningfully.

"Hey! Where are you biting?"

Then, Mango was slightly stunned before she hurriedly let go of Nathaniel. At that moment, she noticed that she bit on Nathaniel's nipple!

In a flash, Mango's face turned red, and she had the urge to hide away from Nathaniel.

After all, she was pissed off right now!

Why did it seem as if she was seducing him now?

Then, Mango pushed Nathaniel away and turned around to leave. However, Nathaniel wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and threw her onto the bed forcefully.

"Get lost! Don't touch me!"

Rage was pulsing through Mango's veins, but Nathaniel directly pressed her against the bed before she could get up.

"Stop messing around... Sleep with me for a while as I'm having a headache."

Nathaniel's voice was soft, but Mango completely stopped struggling after that.

It appeared that the news was true.

Someone had poisoned Nathaniel!

Mango came upstairs only after Bettany said that Nathaniel was fine. However, Nathaniel's expression was strange and horrifying just now.

Then, Mango's heart skipped a beat as she asked, "The poison..."

"It's all cured, but I'm still a little weak and tired... Just let me rest for half an hour."

After saying that, Nathaniel rolled over and laid down before wrapping his hands around Mango. It was obvious that he did not want Soon, Mango heard Nathaniel even breathing, and it seemed that he was asleep.

let her go.

After that, Mango turned her head. She saw that Nathaniel's face was pale, and his lips seemed bloodless. At that moment, she felt worried. Bettany said that the poison in Nathaniel's body had been removed, but Mango didn't believe it, However, Nathaniel said the same thing just now, so perhaps he was really cured. Nevertheless, why did Nathaniel act so violently and crazily just now?

Mango was confused about this.

"Close your eyes and sleep. Otherwise, we might end up doing something else."

Nathaniel spoke suddenly. Hence, this startled Mango as he was supposed to be sleeping.

"Hey! Were you pretending to be asleep?"

"Nah, I fell asleep. But you kept staring at me, so I felt uncomfortable."

Nathaniel answered, but he hid the fact that her probing eyes made him feel incredibly frantic and bloodthirsty.

Therefore, he tried his best to suppress his instincts. This was because he knew that the woman beside him was the person he wanted to protect with his entire life. Hence, he would never allow anyone to hurt her, including himself.

Meanwhile, Mango recalled the look in Nathaniel's eyes just now. Then, she immediately closed her eyes after hearing his words.

She was all tensed up just now, but she could finally relax after all the hassle. Soon, she fell asleep without knowing as Nathaniel's familiar scent filled her nostrils.

After that, Nathaniel opened his eyes abruptly about half an hour later.

Everything that had happened just now was still replaying in his head. At that moment, his brows were tightly furrowed as he had the urge to tear his head apart to stop the crying noises inside. They were so annoying!

Nathaniel was about to get up, but he felt someone lying on his arm.

He glanced sidewards with rage, but his killing intent and anger died down in an instant when he saw Mango sleeping quietly.

Hence, his lips curled up into a smile as he planted a kiss on Mango's face. Then, he slowly withdrew his arms and rolled over before getting off the bed.

When he opened the bedroom door, Bettany was still there.

On the other hand, Zion didn't like Bettany, but he didn't make things difficult for her for Wisdom's sake.

Meanwhile, Rita had fallen asleep on Zion's thigh as Mango hadn't come out after a long time.

"Daddy!"

Wisdom heard the bedroom door open, so he immediately raised his head. After that, he felt spirited as he greeted Nathaniel happily.

At that instant, his eyes were sparkling brightly.

However, Nathaniel just glanced at him and nodded.

"Go in and give them some mosquito repellent. Well be leaving today."

After hearing this, Wisdom paused for a moment before he realized that Nathaniel was talking to him. So, he immediately nodded and went into the room. Meanwhile, Zion glanced at him without making a move as he couldn't do so. Instead, he asked softly, "Mr. Ye, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Nathaniel walked over as he answered.

Suddenly, Bettany got up and stood behind Nathaniel in an incredibly respectful manner. However, her appearance and demeanour shocked Zion.

"You..."

"Leave her alone."

A hint of disgust flashed across Nathaniel's eyes as he said this.

Then, he rubbed his temples and said to Zion, "Give me the ring."

Although Nathaniel didn't mention Zion's name, Zion understood his orders instantly. Then, he gave the ring that belonged to Longford County to Nathaniel.

After that, Nathaniel put it on his pinkie finger directly. The ring was neither too big nor too small, and it fit his finger perfectly.

Meanwhile, Bettany saw the shining ring that symbolized the head of Longford County on Nathaniel's finger. At that instant, she became slightly red-rimmed with tears before she quickly lowered her head. "Are you going out with us?"

However, Bettany didn't know how to answer Nathaniel's question.

"I don't know."

"Go do whatever you have to do. Our family will be going on a trip, and it'll be really inconvenient for us if you come along."

Nathaniel said these words disdainfully.

Meanwhile, Bettany was confused as he hadn't mentioned anything about Longford County after he woke up. However, she didn't dare to ask about it. Now, her eyes widened when she heard Nathaniel driving her away.

"Mr. Ye, aren't you going back?"

"Do I need you to arrange my plans for me? Perhaps you should be the head of the family instead? Hmm?"

Nathaniel glanced at Bettany nonchalantly, but the latter shook in her shoes involuntarily when she saw his intense gaze.

She suddenly remembered how Nathaniel looked like when he had just been cured. He seemed like a serial killer, and everyone could feel his overwhelming murderous intent, even if he did not do anything. At that moment, Bettany gulped and she quickly lowered her head.

"Of course not..."

"Then get lost!"

Nathaniel said straightforwardly without hiding his emotions.

Bettany glanced at Wisdom's room before she left hastily without saying anything.

Meanwhile, Zion had been observing Nathaniel ever since he got out of the room. Now that Bettany had left, the two of them were the only ones left in the living room. So, Zion finally spoke since Rita was still asleep.

"Mr. Ye, you seem to have changed somehow."

"I feel more irritated after being poisoned.

Nathaniel didn't hide it from Zion, so Zion was startled.

"Poison? Who did this to you? Was it Bettany? I'll kill her!"

Zion was about to stand up as he spoke, but Nathaniel grabbed hold of his tiny hand.

Then, he smiled evilly and said in a mischievous tone, "Aren't you afraid that Wisdom might feel sad?"

Zion hesitated immediately after hearing his words, but he said in a low voice, "Wisdom said that he values our family more than anyone else. So, he'll do anything to protect us if Bettany hurts any of us." Then, Nathaniel's eyes sparkled as a trace of emotion flashed across his eyes.

He said, "Zion, bear this in mind. No matter what your brother does in the future, we should be the ones protecting him, instead of him protecting us. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Nathaniel stared straight to Zion suddenly.

Meanwhile, Zion found Nathaniel cold gaze unfamiliar, but he still nodded even though he was afraid.

Then, Nathaniel looked away when he saw that Zion agreed, and said faintly, "Pack up your things. We are going to Longford County."

At that instant, Zion was stunned after hearing Nathaniel's words.

"Bettany was here just now, so why did you..."

"Hah! Who does she think she is? Do I have to report our whereabouts to her?"

At that instant, Zion was stunned as Nathaniel's had exposed his wild and arrogant personality.

Was this Mr. Ye?

Zion remembered that Mr. Ye was scheming and cold, so who was standing in front of him right now?
