The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1214

Carlson was slightly stunned, but then he continued to speak with a smile, "Nathaniel, do you think of me as your enemy now?"

"Well, I can't tell who are my friends and enemies now."

Carlson's expression changed when he heard what Nathaniel had said.

He changed his lazy tone and spoke word by word, "What the old man says has nothing to do with me. You and I are comrades, even though we were not born in the same family. No matter what you decide, no matter what does the old man thinks, I'm always on your side."

Finally, Nathaniel breathes a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, Carlson."

"We are close friends after all."

After saying that, Carlson hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was a little emotional somehow.

He was surprised but somewhat relieved after knowing the truth. After all, he was not really a fugitive, and Carlson still believed in him. Otherwise, if he had to turn against them, although he would not lose, his wife and child would face danger.

Now, he could finally be relieved and have fun with his family.

After Nathaniel took another puff of the cigarette, he returned to his room. When he saw Mango sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but be surprised. Then, he started laughing out of the blue. His wife really got tired easily.

Then, Nathaniel walked over and carried Mango out of the water. He wrapped her up with a towel and carried her into the bedroom.

The bed inside the room was a waterbed, and it was filled with hot spring water. Thus, it felt comfortable to lie on a warm bed.

Then, Nathaniel didn't remove Mango's towel and fell asleep with Mango in his arms.

In his dream, there was a woman stroking his hair gently, and she looked beautiful when she smiled too.

Then, she said, "My child, I hope that you can be stronger in the future. Although you had a lot of responsibilities, I believe that you will always be happy. Life is short, and I can't give you the happiness you want, so you have to fight for it by yourself. Alas! Sorry, Nathan, I am really sorry, but

I have no choice."

The woman's voice was very soft, and she was whispering to him.

Nathaniel wanted to see the woman's face but he failed to do so as the woman's face was covered by the fog. However, the voice was somewhat familiar, and she sounded somewhat like Nanny Zhang. Wait! Nanny Zhang?

Nathaniel felt a little cold at this thought.

He opened his eyes abruptly. Then, he looked around the bedroom. For a moment, he did not know where he was.

The phone next to him has muted, and it was currently vibrating.

Then, Nathaniel picked up his phone and walked out as he was worried that he wouldn't disturb Mango from sleeping. "What's the matter again?"

Nathaniel sounded unpleasant and impatient somehow.

On the other side, Michael paused for a moment and said, "Carter's test results have come out."

Nathaniel frowned slightly when he heard this.

To tell the truth, he didn't care about how Carter died. Shouldn't Michael have called Walter instead?

However, when he looked at his wife, who was resting in the bedroom, he couldn't help but say, "What's the result?"

"Carter killed himself with poison, However, the forensic doctor found other toxins in his body that had accumulated over the years. Even if he didn't commit suicide, he would not live long. At that time, he would die more miserably and painfully than he did now. So Carter knew and killed himself to prevent Walter from finding out that he was poisoned."

Nathaniel frowned after hearing Michael's words.

"How long has he been poisoned?"

"More than 20 years, to be exact, it has been 27 years."

Nathaniel was startled for a moment to hear this.

"How old is Walter?"

"27 years old."

Obviously, Michael had also thought of this.

Then, Nathaniel smiled wickedly and said lazily, "So Carter was poisoned ever since Walter was born?"

"It seemed so, so the person who poisoned him wasn't Delilah Fang, but Sophia Liu."

Nathaniel's smile became a little colder after.

"She's so cruel! Even if Carter was not the person she loved, they were husband and wife after all. They even raised a child together, so how could she do that? Carter probably knew about it when Walter was born. Perhaps Sophia didn't hide it from him either, so Carter cheated on her and stayed with Delilah?"

Nathaniel said word by word, and the look in his eyes was getting colder.

Urgh! How could such an evil woman exist?

Since she didn't love her husband and didn't want a child, how could she give birth to one?

Did she know how to be a mother? Was she even human?

For some reason, Nathaniel was furious.

In the past, he always disliked Walter because that man had a thing for his wife. But now, when he thought of Walter, he couldn't help but have a little more sympathy towards the latter since he wasn't born to parents that loved each other.

His parents didn't want him to be born, and he had to live according to the way they wanted. Wasn't this just too pitiful?

"Did Walter do a medical examination?"

Michael stunned for a second. Apparently, he didn't expect this question.

"Weren't we investigating the cause of Carter's death? Why are we bringing Walter in?"

Nathaniel then said coldly, "Why did Sophia take advantage of Carter? This is because Carter was the easiest person to control among all her pursuers. Furthermore, Sophia married Carter because he loved Sophia at that time. But since she could poison Carter, this crazy woman could hurt her son too! After all, she has been using Walter, hasn't she?"

"What? It can't be, right? After all, she's Walter's mother! She could've poisoned Carter, but I don't think she would've done that to her son!" Nathaniel smiled knowingly when he heard how uncertain Michael sounded.

"What can't that crazy woman do? Urgh! Maybe she would even give up her own life to help with her father's business. This woman is a psychopath. She doesn't appreciate Brantley nor Queena's kindness, and she only cares about her b*stard father. She even hates Mrs. Xiao, I think."

Nathaniel paused all of a sudden when he said this.

"Michael, go and check how did Mrs. Xiao die. Did she die because of an illness or something?"

"Are you suspecting her? No matter how insane Sophia is, she wouldn't kill her mother!"

"Heh! Well, I think that she's crueller than you think."

Michael paused for a while after hearing what Nathaniel said before he continued, "Well, I will make sure Walter does a body checkup. I will also investigate what happened to Mrs. Xiao. Oh, you should continue to stay there if you have nothing to do. I think Chief Zhang decided to stay here."

"Naha, got it."

After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel shook his head.

Barnabas always took action quickly because he wanted to get credit. Alas! He was leading such a miserable life!

Meanwhile, Nathaniel put his phone aside as he felt a little hungry after the call.

Then, he took the bathrobe from the side and put it on before walking out.

Meanwhile, Rita and her brothers were tired of playing, and they went to sleep in the rest area.

When Nathaniel went over, he saw that Rita was sleeping soundly between Zion and Wisdom.

The children were all wearing happy smiles on their faces. At this time, they looked exactly like children who were five years old.

Nathaniel then walked towards the food area.

"Mr. Ye, would you like to eat?"

The waiter came over instantly and asked.

"Yeah, what have you guys prepared?"

Nathaniel walked over and took a look at the food. He then whispered to the waiter, "Please make some millet porridge for me."

"All right."

After all, millet porridge was good for the stomach.

Mango was in poor health, so eating that would be better for her.

After the millet porridge was cooked, Nathaniel brought the food back to his bedroom.

Meanwhile, Mango was still sleeping.

Her skin was glowing because she had spent some time in the hot spring. Furthermore, there was a reddish tint in her cheeks, so she looked gorgeous right now.

Suddenly, Nathaniel thought that Mango looked like an angel that had descended from heaven.

He walked over and placed the food at the side. Then, he bent over and kissed Mango on the lips.

Mango was suffocating because of the kiss, so she woke up unwillingly. When she saw how near Nathaniel's face was to her, she was slightly stunned. Then, she began to struggle. "Nathaniel, I'm so tired! Let's don't do that anymore, okay? Stop!"

Mango cried and begged.

Nathaniel was like a beast that she couldn't control!

However, Nathaniel laughed merrily when he saw his wife glaring at him.

"What are you thinking about? I just wanted to wake you up for dinner."

After hearing what he said, Mango saw the food beside her. Her stomach immediately started growling, so she felt a little embarrassed.

"Urgh! You should've woken me up normally! Why did you kiss me?" She mumbled.

Mango's voice wasn't loud, but Nathaniel could hear it clearly.

Then, she stroked Mango's hair and said fondly, "I called you a few times, but you were in deep sleep. So, I had no choice but to wake you up like that."

Nathaniel tried to act like he was innocent, but Mango didn't believe him.

"Urgh! I wouldn't be this exhausted if it weren't for you! You said that we came here to travel but you are the only one enjoying it, and you even wanted to tire me out. Nathaniel Ye, I knew that you were up to no good!"

Mango complained pitifully as she pouted. Hence, Nathaniel really wanted to kiss her again.

Well, after Nathaniel had this thought, he immediately began to take action. Thus, he kissed Mango until she couldn't breathe.

However, Mango did not even have the strength to resist, and she melted into the kiss just like that.

However, Nathaniel was worried about Mango too. After all, his wife was really exhausted.

"Let's eat. I'll take you and the kids out for a while after the meal."

"What? Are you telling me that there are more interesting places around here?"

Mango was a little curious.

"Eat quickly then."

Nathaniel didn't say anything more, and he kept her guessing.

Only then did they start to eat.

Mango had no idea that she could eat so much. After eating a lot of food, she wanted to eat one more piece of cake, but she was stopped by Nathaniel.

"What are you doing?"

Mango was about to complain.

However, Nathaniel chuckled, "Eating too much is not good for your health, so you should stop eating."

Then, Mango frowned and said, "You're full and happy, but I'm not. Ah! I can't believe you are not letting me eat. You're truly terrible."

Nathaniel was completely speechless when he looked at her disdainful expression.

Why did his wife suddenly think of him this terribly?
