The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1413

"Chief, you..."

"Hurry up and pour me a glass of water. I'm choking."

Nathaniel said as soon as Bettany came in, letting out a burp while doing so.

Even though Bettany had thought of many possibilities, she did not expect such a result. Thus, she suddenly did not know how to react and quickly poured Nathaniel a cup of water.

After Nathaniel gulped down the water, he felt much better.

Bettany knew Nathaniel's eating etiquette, so she wondered how did he choke. Perhaps he had choked because he had eaten the food carefully as Mango was the one who had bought it for him.

At this thought, she looked at Nathaniel's satisfied expression. Suddenly, she felt that it would be better to wait before telling Nathaniel that Mango had been attacked. After all, Nathaniel was rarely in such a good mood, so she didn't want to ruin it.

"Do you have anything else to tell me?"

When Nathaniel looked up and saw Bettany still standing there, he could not help but frown.

"Chief, don't you want to lie down? You shouldn't sit for long because of your injury."

Bettany couldn't help but remind Nathaniel.

After hearing that, Nathaniel looked at the unfinished meatballs and stir-fried pork belly in his hands before giving in eventually.

He put the food on the table next to him and whispered, "Warm it up for me in the evening. I want to finish the food that my wife bought for me."

"All right."

Bettany's mouth twitched as she answered, but she quickly lowered her head.

After all, Mango was injured, so how could she buy him food herself? Hence, she must have sent the bodyguards to do this, but Nathaniel treasured it so. Alas! Mango's cold attitude towards Nathaniel must have taken a toll on him.

In fact, he could cheer up easily as long as Mango showed him a little bit of warmth.

At this thought, Bettany shook her head and carried Nathaniel onto the bed.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was not in a hurry to rest as he had just eaten greasy food. After all, what Nathaniel wanted to do the most was to go over and chat with Mango. However, when he thought of Mango's rejection and her look of exhaustion, he decided to give up on this idea.

"Leave me. I'll lie down for a while."

"All right."

Bettany quickly walked out as she was afraid she would involuntarily tell Nathaniel about Mango if she stayed any longer.

On the other hand, Nathaniel took out his phone and was browsing through some company matters when he saw a news video. When he took a second look at the car, he felt it was a bit familiar. Thus, he quickly paused the video and then zoomed in to look at the license plate number.

Yes, it was his car!

What did the news say?

Mrs. Ye was attacked at the entrance of the Imperial House?!

How could no one tell him that such a big thing had happened? Were they all ignoring him?

Nathaniel's heart suddenly tightened when he thought about this.

Suddenly, he recalled the tired look on Mango's face when she had just returned. He thought that she was exhausted because of her wound at first, but he didn't expect it to be because of an assault. How could she be so laid back? Why didn't she mention this attack?

Nathaniel was so angry that his heart ached.

Urgh! What did she take him for?

Was he a stranger to her?

At this thought, Nathaniel felt that the infuriation in his heart was almost driving him crazy!

"Bettany!"

Nathaniel growled, and Bettany rushed in.

"What's wrong, chief?"

"Take me to my wife's room."

Nathaniel could let Mango mess around as she pleased, and he could also deal with Mango's anger and her ignoring him. However, she had gone too far by not telling him about the assault.

Meanwhile, Bettany glanced at the news on Nathaniel's phone and knew that she couldn't hide it anymore.

She quickly moved Nathaniel back to the wheelchair and pushed him to Mango's room.

Then, Bettany was about to knock on the door when Nathaniel immediately opened the door with a spare key.

"Mango, are you out of your mind? Why didn't you tell me about the attack?"

Nathaniel asked angrily.

On the other hand, Mango was applying ice packs to her burning ears. When she saw Nathaniel coming in furiously, she didn't react and said calmly, "You did not discuss anything with me when you wanted to risk your life. Hah! Did you finally remember that we are a couple? Why didn't you think of me as your wife when you were acting all heroically? After all, I have the right to know what you wanted to do, right?" Nathaniel couldn't even say a word after hearing this.

He finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

"I did that because I was afraid that you would be worried about me!"

"Well, I did the same thing."

Mango continued speaking calmly. However, Nathaniel felt extremely frustrated as nothing was going his way.

He looked helplessly at Mango, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Do you have anything else to say? If not, please leave. I am exhausted, and I want to rest."

Mango's tone was still calm and emotionless. However, Nathaniel could see the weariness in her eyes.

He wanted to ask what was she doing at the Hans family, but he could not say anything else as she had asked him to leave.

"My dear wife, can you come back and rest in the master bedroom?"

Right now, Nathaniel was still fighting for the upper hand.

Mango rejected him immediately. "You can't move about either. Since you need rest, I won't disturb you."

"I'm not afraid of being disturbed."

"Well, I don't want to do that to you!"

Mango once again rendered Nathaniel speechless.

When Nathaniel heard this, his eyebrows almost knitted into a frown. However, Mango didn't give in the slightest. She looked calm and showed no emotions, but Nathaniel felt upset as he would rather see her burst out in anger.

"When can you come back to the master bedroom?"

"I don't know. Let's see how well you recover."

After saying that, Mango yawned.

When Nathaniel saw that she was truly tired, he motioned Bettany to push him out of Mango's room.

Soon, after Nathaniel came out of the room, his face was sullen.

"Bring me the bodyguards who were escorting Madam today."

"Chief, one of them is seriously injured in the hospital, and the other is making a police statement at the station. I will call the man who just returned right away. He seems to be from the Dark Night Empire." Bettany reported dutifully.

Her words aggravated Nathaniel again.

The men from the Dark Night Empire worked for Mango. As she was still mad at him, if he punished her men himself, Mango would surely use this as a reason to continue ignoring him. That would be more than he could take!

Still, he could not suppress the irritation in his heart, so he whispered, "Ask the Ye Family to find out who attacked Madam today. If I don't get any news from them by today, make sure they receive their punishment!"

Bettany knew that Nathaniel was venting his anger, but she did not dare say anything and hurried out.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt that he had brought all these on himself, and he felt terrible.

At this moment, a call came from Noah.

"Nathaniel, what happened? I heard that Mango was attacked! Did the people from Angolla do this?"

"Urgh! I don't know."

Nathaniel replied, and he was depressed because he was powerless. Furthermore, he was frustrated as he was unable to move freely and felt like a cripple.

When Noah heard Nathaniel's weak voice, he couldn't help but said with a smile, "Wait... both of you haven't reconciled yet? Or is she still dabbling with other young men?"

"Noah, you must have a lot of time, right? If so, I could ask our boss to send you on missions. I heard that Swovenia needs doctors on the war field. Heh! I think it's a suitable role for you since you were a military doctor."

Nathaniel was already full of anger. Since he couldn't express it in front of his wife, he chose to take his anger out on someone else instead!

After hearing this, Noah immediately yielded.

"Don't, Nathaniel! Hey! I didn't say anything."

"Wait a minute."

Nathaniel hesitated for a moment and then asked in a low voice, "Do you have any ideas on how to appease Mango?"

"Hey, it's not a big deal. You're a couple, so you can resolve all problems by sleeping together. After doing this once or twice, I guarantee that her temper will clear up."

Before Noah could finish his words, Nathaniel immediately cut the call.

Suddenly, Noah remembered that Nathaniel couldn't move around as the latter pleased.

Hence, it was impossible for him to sleep with his wife!

On the other hand, Nathaniel, who was already upset, became even more downcast.

How could he sleep with her now?

After all, Mango was not even willing to talk to him, let alone allow his touch. As expected, Noah never had any good suggestions!

At this thought, Nathaniel suddenly fell into despair which almost drove him crazy, but he could only suppress it.

Mango, on the other hand, didn't think much of this. After Nathaniel went out, she was so drained that she immediately fell asleep. Hence, she didn't even realise that Bettany had entered her room. Then, Bettany looked at Mango and carefully examined her body. She found no extra wounds on Mango's body, and there were only two additional cuts.

After dealing with Mango's wounds, Bettany covered her with a quilt and left the room.

Meanwhile, Walter initially wanted to pay a visit to Mango but was stopped by Deborah.

When Brantley heard that Mango had returned, before he could call her to ask when she would come to visit him, he heard about the matters regarding Nathaniel and Mango from some people in the military region. Thus, he couldn't stay put anymore.

Then, Brantley asked Alex to bring the car around and then brought some gifts to The Ye's Mansion. However, he learned that Mango was asleep.

"Don't wake her. Let her sleep. She probably couldn't even sleep well when she was in that foreign land. Now that she's home, let her sleep as much as she needs to. No one should bother her, do you understand?"

On the other hand, Brantley also saw the news, and he was going to ask them what was going on. However, when he learned that Mango was resting and Nathaniel was also asleep due to the latter's injuries, he left after leaving the gifts.

After all, could visit his granddaughter any other time. More importantly, she needed to rest now.

At the same time, Nathaniel fell asleep with a heavy heart. After all, he went through a major operation and was physically drained. When he woke up and heard that Brantley had come, he quickly called Brantley. "Grandpa, why didn't you say anything when you came?"

"It's fine. You and Mango need to take care of yourselves, and you can talk later when you're all well. I'll send someone to investigate today's attack, so don't let Mango leave the house these few days."

"I got it, grandpa."

Nathaniel nodded, and after some hesitation, he couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Grandpa, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

When Brantley heard Nathaniel's solemn tone, he couldn't help but worry.

"Is this about Mango? Listen up, Nathan. Even though I am old, I want to know everything that is going on with Mango."

Nathaniel hurriedly said, "It's not about Mango. Grandpa, it's about Aunt Magnolia and her son."

These words stunned Brantley for a few seconds before he asked uncertainly, "Huh? Who are you talking about? Magnolia, my eldest daughter? Isn't she dead?"
