The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1245

Mango had never expected that she would have the chance to play a piano duet with Nathaniel. It seemed unrealistic yet wonderful to her.

Her ears were filled with the melodious piano sound, while the notes were Beethoven's Alice. However, Mango felt that the song was indeed fantastic and iconic yet it brought her a different feeling at the moment.

The fingers of them both were leaping on those black and white piano keys, just like a pair of pixie dancing happily in between heaven and earth.

They could only see each other in their eyes without realizing the chemistry between them.

The surrounding crowds were mesmerized by the melody. Some of them even took out their mobiles quickly to snap photos and posted them online.

Mango and Nathaniel were totally unaware of the scene.

Little did they know that they had become the hot search on internet with merely a minor act.

On the other hand, Genevieve was about to give birth to her first baby. In order to relieve the pain caused by contraction, she idly browsed Twitter. But she was then stunned upon catching a glimpse at the video in which Mango and Nathaniel were playing the piano together.

Noah, who had been paying attention to his wife all the time found Genevieve stoned. He couldn't help going forward to check on her and immediately became annoyed.

"What the heck is Nathaniel doing over there? Isn't he in love with Mango? How dare he play piano with another woman behind Mango's back? He has gone too far! Doesn't he know how much Mango has sacrificed for him? What a jerk?"

Genevieve was slightly taken aback.

"Since when did you have such a good relationship with Mango?"

She knew her own man well.

From the very beginning, Noah had completely looked down on Mango. He had always felt that Mango was the burden of Nathaniel. In the meantime, as Nathaniel's brother, he certainly felt bad over the hardships that Nathaniel had gone through all these years.

In regards of that, Genevieve didn't justify for Mango as there were some hardships that only women could understand. She did believe that Noah and the others would sooner or later know how nice Mango was. Also, they would know that both Mango and Nathaniel were ideally made for

each other.

However, Genevieve just didn't expect that Noah would accept Mango in such a short period. She couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.

Noah was afraid that his wife misunderstood him, thus he hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, Genevieve. Since she is my sister-in-law, I definitely have to defend her. After all, she is also your best friend, isn't she? I'm sure that your buddy will be as kind as you."

"What a kiss-a**."

Genevieve's lips curled up slightly before she started to scream in pain of contraction.

"My dear, take a deep breath..."

Noah was indeed anxious and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he was the one giving birth to the baby instead of Genevieve.

Genevieve grabbed her mobile and replied painfully, "It's Mango. Don't you make a scene there. She just put on some makeup. You may notice it's her if you look carefully. Well, will this viral news expose their location? After all, their condition is somewhat distinct now."

Noah's heart skipped a beat after hearing her remarks.

She was right. Nathaniel was not in a good situation at the moment.

"Don't bother them. You should focus on yourself instead. It's the key moment for a woman to be in labor. Guess we shall overcome this juncture first, shan't we? Nathaniel is a capable person after all. Don't worry, he can handle it."

As soon as Noah finished speaking, the popular search on the Internet had disappeared in a blink of eye.

At the same time, inside the headquarters of the Baxter Alliance, Zion's expression was ghastly pale yet he still managed to continue typing. It didn't take long for him to stop his action.

There was a symbol of Silver Fox on the computer screen and a message was sent from it.

"Hope that we can work it out, kiddo!"

Zion slightly frowned.

Kiddo?

Silver Fox had made people both loved and hated him as always.

However, it also seemed a pleasant thing for him to cooperate with Silver Fox to hack the trending hashtags without any trace.

Shortly afterwards, Zion had curled himself up on the bed in pain.

Play piano-duet?

In a cafe still!

He seriously doubted if he was their biological son at the moment.

He was somehow injured. While he was lying on the bed and required parental care, they had hung out to spend some romantic moments and they even became the latest trend. Did they consider his feeling at all?

Just as Zion was feeling upset, both Rita and Wisdom walked into his room.

"Zion, how do you feel? Does it hurt? Let me check it."

Rita's tender voice instantly made Zion feel that family affection did exist in the world.

"It's okay. I don't feel pain."

Zion put on a smile but his pale face made Rita pout. Afterwards, she abruptly gave him a hug.

"You freaked me out, Zion! Never ever do this again!"

Rita avoided Zion's wounds and hugged him tightly.

Zion instantly felt warm.

"I'm fine. Don't I look okay now?"

"Is your situation consider well to you?"

Meanwhile, Wisdom brought in a bowl of blood nourishing soup and handed it to Zion.

"I ask them to cook it for you. Have some."

"Alright."

Zion took it from him and finished it in one go.

Seeing Zion holding his computer, Rita asked in confusion, "Zion, what are you doing here? Can't you take some rest since you've suffered injuries?"

"I'm picking up the pieces someone have made."

Upon thinking of the other party's parents, Zion almost wanted to shed tears.

"What?"

Rita did not quite understand.

Zion quickly replied, "It's okay, the task is done."

"Have a good rest then. Otherwise, we will have to stay here for a long time. Well, when can we depart to Longford County?"

Rita touched a spot when she was asking Zion so.

"Rita, you're not worried about my body, but the time when will we go to Longford County instead, are you?"

"Nope, I'm concerned about both. Hehe."

Rita chuckled, and Zion couldn't bear to scold her.

"Why would you want to go Longford County?"

Zion was repulsive of that place. He didn't want to be there if possible. After all, many incidents that happened were related to that place.

However, Rita who was expectant to go over there made him somewhat curious.

Wisdom also looked at Rita with an intrigued expression.

Rita bit her lower lip and said with a seemingly great determination, "I have to deal with something."

"What's the thing you need to deal with?"

"Bjorn has asked me to do him a favor. However, he said that there's no rush. I'm wondering when will Uncle Eaves come back? Bjorn, Lonnie, and also Aunt Esther are all waiting for Uncle Eaves to go home every day. If I'm able to help him, perhaps Uncle Eaves will be back soon."

Upon hearing Rita's words, Zion's expression immediately turned serious.

"Are you saying that Uncle Eaves has something to do with the incident of Longford County? Didn't he undergo investigation because of the explosion?"

"I've no idea. I've heard only from Bjorn that he would need my help if daddy and mommy go to Longford County."

"What kind of favor did he ask you?"

However, Rita shook her head and said firmly,

"This is the secret between Bjorn and I. I can't tell you."

"I'm your brother."

"Even if you are my daddy, I can't tell you..."

Rita was quite persistent about the matter, which immediately made both Zion and Wisdom worry about her.

"Rita, the place isn't as simple as you think."

"I know, but it's okay. I still have you with me, isn't it?"

"Oh now you remember about me?"

Zion said snappishly but he knew that Rita was being headstrong.

His sister usually seemed to be a carefree person. However, once she truly wanted to do something seriously, nobody would be able to change her mind.

It's okay.

If anything happened to her, he would try his best to protect her.

Zion thought to himself and stopped pushing Rita.

Little did both Mango and Nathaniel know that they had become a popular search again. However, the trend was then quickly eliminated by someone.

Carlson opened his mouth widely subconsciously as he looked at the popular search on his mobile a moment before but he could not find any trace again the next moment.

As expected, Nathaniel was surrounded by plenty of skillful experts.

Even he couldn't outdo the speed.

He smiled and immediately called Nathaniel.

At that moment, Nathaniel had just finished playing a song with Mango, and they were met with a strong round of applause.

The two of them had always received various kinds of applause and flowers since they were young. Hence, they didn't feel proud, but the chemistry that happened between them during the previous performance kept lingering in their heart.

"Well done."

Both of them spoke in unison and then let out a smile. It felt warm and passionate.

"Let's go home."

Mango was holding hands with Nathaniel as they walked out of the cafe under everyone's envious gaze.

Nathaniel was stunned for a moment when his mobile rung so he took it out.

When he saw that Carlson was calling him, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Was Carlson asking him to release Chief Oxford as he gave him a call right after he caught the chief?

Thinking of that, Nathaniel didn't look good.

"What's wrong with you? Who's calling?"

Mango became sensitive when she noticed that Nathaniel's passionate expression had changed.

"I'm fine."

Nathaniel touched Mango's head in comfort and then answered the call before her.

"Are you calling me to have me release the man?"

"Well, whom should I ask you to let go? Who did you arrest?"

Carlson was somewhat taken aback.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was also stunned for a moment.

Didn't he call for the sake of Chief Oxford?

"Well, what's up?"

Nathaniel quickly changed the subject.

Well, he definitely wouldn't expose his matter to Carlson.

That man seemed to portray a refined character but no one had known better than him that Carlson was indeed a devil. Yet his good-looking appearance gave people an illusion.

Meanwhile, Mango had also recalled who Master Mo was.

Was he from the Santell Capital?

He had offered help to Nathaniel before, but Mango wasn't very clear about his identity. She didn't poke her nose into others' business either at the moment, hence she just quietly stood aside and listened to

them.

Carlson didn't inquire what Nathaniel was trying to say previously. However, he smiled and said, "You may not know that both you and your wife's piano duet has become a popular search."

"What?"

Nathaniel slightly frowned upon hearing his remarks.

He was simply reckless regarding this point.

"Don't worry, someone has cleaned up the mess for you. By the way, can you ask the expert to work for me?"

"No way!"

After finished his words, Nathaniel immediately hung up the call.

He quickly checked on his phone regarding the trail of mess that had just been cleaned up. With merely a glance, he could discover that it was both Silver Fox and Zion who worked on it.

Lending his son to Carlson?

What a joke!

However, Carlson was not a person who would give up easily. After Nathaniel hung up the phone, Carlson sent him a Whatsapp text.

"Lend me your man and I'll provide you the information about Longford County. It's up to you whether you wish to know it or not. Also, I have details regarding Golden Lancehead Venom which may give you

some clues too."
