The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1210

"What is my wife thinking about again?"

Nathaniel noticed that Mango was deeply in thought, and he couldn't help but reach out two fingers to flick her forehead. Hence, Mango immediately started protesting. "Ouch, it hurts! Are you mistaking me for Rita?"

Mango pouted cutely as she said this, so Nathaniel wanted to kiss her right now.

Well, at this thought, Nathaniel obviously couldn't control himself.

He leaned in and planted a deep kiss on Mango's lips, and this caught her by surprise. Then, she grabbed his collar tightly as her breathing sped up.

Thus, Mango had forgotten what Nathaniel had told her about Carter because of his sudden kiss.

When they got home, the children were already asleep.

Hence, Nathaniel immediately urged Mango to take a shower. When she came from the shower, she saw that Nathaniel was staring at her deeply on the bed. Thus, she coughed lightly and said, "Ahem. I... I'm a little tired today."

Nathaniel burst into laughter the next second.

Did he scare his wife too much today?

"Come here."

He gestured towards Mango as he said this.

"No! I don't want to!"

Mango shook her head firmly as she said this. She would not budge no matter what.

After all, her body was still sore.

Nathaniel couldn't even control himself, so it was really too much for her.

Then, Nathaniel looked at her in amusement and said, "I won't touch you."

"Really?"

Mango looked at him suspiciously as she asked this.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was too lazy to answer her, so he stretched out his long arms straightaway and pulled Mango into his arms.

"No, I don't want it! Nathaniel, you can't do this!"

Mango struggled, but she heard Nathaniel chuckling before he said, "Shut up, go to sleep. You look like you still have much strength left, and maybe we can work out again now!" These words successfully shut her up.

Then, she laid in Nathaniel's arms obediently. She thought it would be difficult for her to sleep, but she had fallen asleep almost immediately.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked a little glum as he listened to her even breathing.

Didn't she say she was worried?

Furthermore, she had said that she was scared.

Ilrghl Mango was such a good liar!

After a while, Nathaniel kissed her face and closed his eyes.

However, he couldn't sleep that whole night.

Meanwhile, Rita, Zion, and Wisdom woke up early in the morning the next day. In fact, she even came to knock on Nathaniel's door.

"Papa, mama, get up! Rise and shine! Hurry up, let's go out to play!"

Well, the children still wanted to play as they were on holiday.

After all, Rita couldn't sleep the whole night when she knew that they were heading out for a trip the next day. She would get up in the middle of the night to look at the time. However, she still felt like time was moving too slowly.

Well, this was their first family trip.

Nathaniel opened his eyes slightly, and when he fully opened them, he looked irritated. His eyes were red since someone had disturbed his sleep, and he even wanted to kick the person out of the room.

At this moment, a cold hand reached over and covered his warm hand as a gentle voice sounded at his ear.

"Is that Rita? Why did she get up so early today?"

Then, Mango yawned. Her voice sounded soft and sleepy, and it somehow calmed Nathaniel down.

After that, his vision became clear slowly.

Oh, Rita was in his room.

Wasn't Rita his precious daughter?

At this thought, Nathaniel shook his head and laughed. He then whispered to Mango, "You go back to sleep. I'll take this brat away and see if breakfast is ready." Meanwhile, Mango was exhausted because of the events that had happened yesterday. Although Nathaniel had let her off last night, she still did not have enough sleep. Thus, she turned over and said sleepily, "Then, go quickly. I'm so sleepy."

Then, she fell asleep in front of Nathaniel without warning.

When Nathaniel saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and get out of bed. As soon as he opened the door, he picked Rita up with one arm.

"Papa, mommy hasn't woken up yet? Wake her up now, we are leaving. Uh..."

Suddenly, Nathaniel covered Rita's chattering mouth with his palm. After that, he closed the door and took Rita away.

"Let your mommy sleep a little longer."

Nathaniel's voice was faint, but he still sounded powerful.

Then, Rita pouted and said, "Urgh! It's six o'clock already, but mommy is still sleeping. Didn't you say we were going to go on a trip."

"She'll only be sleeping for a while, so it'll be fine. Be a good child, alright? Mommy is very tired."

Meanwhile, Zion glanced over at them with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

This little brat!

Nathaniel did not bother to call Zion out, so he just turned around and put Rita down on a chair. When he saw that all his children were awake, he said, "Since you all are so energetic, you can follow me for a morning run."

"No! I don't want to!"

Rita was the first to reject.

What a joke! She didn't get up this early just to exercise with her dad!

On the other hand, Zion and Wisdom didn't really mind, so they followed Nathaniel out to run.

Before Nathaniel left, he told Rita, "Don't disturb your mommy's sleep, or I'll punish you."

"Oh man, papa, you don't love me anymore."

Suddenly, Rita felt that her father did not love her that much anymore.

In the past, Nathaniel would quickly coax his daughter if she was not happy. However, now, Nathaniel said faintly instead, "I love my wife. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

Rita was extremely upset when she heard this.

She felt that she was not her father's favourite person anymore!

Urgh! Her father had changed.

Thus, she was very disappointed.

However, Nathaniel looked like he was not affected by Rita's tantrum. He even said to the servant beside him, "If Rita goes to disturb her mum, you all will be fired."

The corners of Rita's mouth twitched in annoyance again when she heard what Nathaniel had said.

Was he so worried about her?

On the other hand, Zion and Wisdom couldn't stand it anymore.

"Mr. Ye, why are you bullying a little girl? Don't you feel guilty?"

"Dad, you know Rita didn't mean it!"

Zion and Wisdom spoke at the same time, but Nathaniel replied calmly, "You're the ones who spoilt her."

Both Zion and Wisdom were upset when they heard this.

After all, who was the one who had allowed Rita to do as she had pleased?

Urgh! If Nathaniel knew that he was the one who had spoilt Rita the most, would he still say this?

However, Nathaniel ignored Zion's scornful look he sent to him and said instead, "What are you looking at? I'm still your father, right? Go and get ready as we'll be going out for a run soon."

"Urgh! What an unreasonable man!"

"You're such a hypocrite!"

The two sons commented, and Nathaniel narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

Were these two brats asking to be punished?

After that, Nathaniel brought them out for a job. On the other hand, Rita was getting bored staying in the living room, so she was about to walk towards Mango's room. Then, a servant stopped her and asked, "Miss Ye, what are you doing?"

"None of your business!" Rita replied angrily.

She felt very upset right now.

After all, her father didn't love her anymore.

Thus, she felt awful.

While she was sulking, she suddenly heard someone playing a melodious tune on the violin coming from outside.

Thus, Rita paused slightly and walked over towards where the sound came from.

"Miss Ye where are you going?"

The servant was a little surprised and quickly followed behind her.

However, Rita ignored her question and walked straight out.

The sound of the violin came from the mansion on the opposite of theirs, and it sounded melodious and lively.

After that, Rita sat at the door while holding her chin as she followed the rhythm of the melody. Well, she actually finished listening to the whole song.

Then, the person started playing a cheerful song after the previous one ended, and Rita's lips curled into a smile.

It sounded really beautiful!

On the other side, Mylo opened the window after finished playing the two songs. He wanted to get some fresh air, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

Was that Rita?

Mylo thought he was hallucinating and rubbed his eyes hard. When he saw that the person was indeed Rita, he ran out of his house instantly without wearing his shoes.

"Rita!"

Well, he was someone who rarely showed his emotions. So, his servant was stunned for a moment when he saw how happy Mylo looked.

"Nick, you haven't put on your shoes yet. Nick!"

However, Mylo completely ignored the servant as he ran towards Rita as soon as he saw her.

After all, the only thing separating both their houses was a road.

Once Rita had finished listening to the melodious tone, she got up and decided to go back inside. Well, she was in a better mood now.

"Let's go then. I'm heading inside for breakfast. The violin sounds pretty nice, maybe I'll tell mommy that I want to learn it too."

After saying that, Rita turned around and walked into the yard. Then, the servants closed the door

behind her.

On the other hand, Mylo was finally in front of the house, but the door was tightly shut when he got there.

Thus, he knocked on the door hurriedly.

"Rita! Rita, is that you?"

Mylo's knock on the door attracted the servant's attention.

The person opened the door and saw Mylo standing there barefoot. Then, she asked in confusion, "Who are you looking for?"

"I... I'm looking for Rita Ye."

Mylo sounded out of breath because he ran too fast.

Nathaniel had given orders to the servants before he had left, so she immediately told Mylo, "Who is Rita? This is Mrs. Shen's house. I'm afraid you've made a mistake."

Mylo was slightly taken back when she heard this.

The Shen family were staying here?

Then, he realized that perhaps he had been hallucinating.

After all, Rita's home was in Ocean City, so why would she appear here?

Did he really make a mistake?

"But that girl really looks like Rita," Mylo thought to himself.

"Sorry, I must have made a mistake."

At this thought, Mylo apologized to the servant. Then, he turned around with a dejected look on his face.

The soles of his feet were bleeding, so his servant felt a little guilty.

"Sir, please wear my shoes then."

"It's alright, thank you."

Mylo looked crestfallen, and he felt a little upset.

Thus, he could walk back to his villa slowly.

Meanwhile, Rita had no idea what happened. She was feeling a little hungry after coming in.

"Hey! Do you have something for me to eat?"

"Yes, I do! what would you like to eat, Miss Ye? We have steamed buns, noodles, dumplings, and soy milk."

The butler didn't know what the children liked to eat, so he simply prepared everything.

On the other hand. Rita was in a good mood after listening to the violin. Then, she beamed and said, "I'll get some steamed buns."

"Coming right up!"

The butler quickly served her the bunny-shaped buns. Thus, Rita couldn't help but drool when she saw them.

"Wow, is this a bunny?"

"Perhaps it is a bunny, Miss Rita."

Rita's smile was very contagious, and it immediately made the butler and the servants laugh.

Meanwhile, their laughter woke Mango up.

However, she didn't see Nathaniel anywhere.

After that, she yawned and opened the door of her bedroom. Then, she saw Rita smiling happily in the dining room. Furthermore, the servants and the butler looked happy too.

Hence, Mango felt warm and fuzzy inside.

This felt really good!

"What are you guys talking about? You look so happy!"

Mango walked over and pulled out a chair to sit down as she said this.

"Mommy, look at this, the buns look like little bunnies. So, I'm calling it a bunny bunbun!"

"Oh really? You should eat more then!"

Children were so pure and innocent. After all, a cute bun could make Rita so happy.

Then, Rita quickly took a bite of the bun.

In the meantime, Mango looked around as if she was looking for something.

Thus, the butler quickly answered, "Mr. Ye took Zion and Wisdom out for a run."

"Oh, I see."

Mango felt relieved after hearing that. When she was about to say something, she suddenly heard someone playing a sad melody on the piano from outside.
