The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1505

Lilian quickly put down Zion. Just as she was about to chase after the strange figure, she was stopped by Maverick.

"Who is it?"

"It should be the higher-ups, don't worry about it. There are many people keeping an eye on us and the children recently. I will arrange for some bodyguards to pay attention to them at all times. As for you, don' go out if there is nothing wrong."

Lilian nodded when she heard Maverick's words. When she turned to look at Zion, he didn't seem to hear anything. He adjusted his clothes and smiled, "Uncle, Auntie, I want to go to bed." "All right."

The couple could tell that Zion wasn't in a good mood, but since he didn't like to talk about his feelings, they didn't ask him about it either.

After they left, Zion looked out thoughtfully and said nothing.

Mango had always been well taken care of, but she didn't have the chance to see Nathaniel too often even though they stayed in a hotel. Luckily, Mckenzie was with her. However, Mango met a new person in the second week of isolation.

"Aunt? Why are you here?"

Mango was stunned when she saw Magnolia.

Magnolia looked at her with reddened eyes.

"I just wanted to ask about Tristan."

Her voice was a little hoarse which made Mango's heart feel uncomfortable.

"Auntie, I'm sorry."

She really wanted to tell Magnolia that Tristan was still alive. Unfortunately, she couldn't expose the truth.

Mango knew that Magnolia was holding back her tears. She mumbled and sat in front of the bed while she stayed silent for a long time.

"I know that I shouldn't ask you these questions because you're weak right now, but I really want to know..."

"I understand. To tell you the truth, I didn't see the situation at that time either. Nathan said that everything was gone and the surroundings were filled with blood. It seemed that Tristan's blood was a little special. In order to confirm whether it was my brother's blood, my father did a blood test on purpose."

Mango lowered her eyes and her shoulders twitched as if she was choking on her sobs.

Magnolia's heart felt as if it had been stabbed and

it hurt terribly.

"Is there no trace of my son?"

She used a lot of effort to say this.

Mango nodded. She had a feeling that she was about to collapse, but she knew that she had to persevere.

Magnolia left dejectedly after that. Although Barack didn't come, he still called to ask about Tristan.

Ocean City looked peaceful on the surface, but there was a feeling of trepidation in the upper-class society.

Thanks to Maverick's aggressive means, those who wanted to take the opportunity to target the Ye family all failed. Maverick also officially exposed himself to the public and he was labelled as a killing machine in the business industry.

Maverick didn't care about these things at all.

Zion, Rita, and Wisdom were enrolled into an elite kindergarten like the other children and started to attend classes. Although it was boring, they didn't cause any trouble at all. Rita always slept in every class, but her results were the first place in every exam. The teachers didn't dare to ask too much of her either.

Instead of reading books every day, Wisdom took the initiative to take part in social activities.

Although he was not overly enthusiastic, his teacher liked him a lot.

Zion was still as cold as ever. He had been bored during this period of time, so he played games with Evangeline. Zion caught the eye of a team leader and she had been pestering him to join the team, but she was rejected by Zion.

A month after Mango and Nathaniel were separated, the higher-ups saw that there was indeed nothing wrong with the investigation and there was nothing more they could ask. However, it wasn't wise to let them go, but they were allowed to live together.

Nathaniel felt relaxed and he had not been so at ease for many years. There was no need to think about anything. He stayed with his wife all day while he caressed his wife's belly. Food and drinks were given to them while they were under the protection of bodyguards. His life indeed felt too comfortable.

Nathaniel touched Mango's stomach one day, only to find that he had been kicked by something. He was so scared that he quickly pulled back his hand. "Honey, this, this..."

Mango couldn't help but laugh when she saw the panic on his face.

"Your baby kicked you."

"It's only been a few months, and it already knows how to kick? Are you in pain?"

Nathaniel felt that life was really amazing.

Mango's entire body emitted a maternal radiance. She smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt. From the moment I became pregnant, I've mentioned it to them."

"Them?"

Nathaniel paused for a moment.

Mango had rarely seen Nathaniel in such a daze. She couldn't help but smile as she said, "Of course. Do you think I'll be pregnant with a single child given the condition of both of our genes? I did an ultrasound yesterday and they told me that I was pregnant with twins, but I still can't tell if it's a boy or a girl."

Nathaniel was overjoyed to hear that.

"Yes, I want a daughter."

The corners of Mango's mouth twitched.

"Is this up to you?"

"In any case, I want a daughter. Look, we have two brats in our family. No matter what, it's enough. With two more daughters to accompany Rita, our little princess will not be lonely anymore." Nathaniel placed his hand back on Mango's stomach and said gently, "Little princesses, I'm your daddy. Can you hear me?"

Mango felt that Nathaniel was especially childish, but she was also very comforted in his heart.

If there were not so many misunderstandings when she was pregnant five years ago, perhaps Nathaniel would be looking forward to the birth of their children as he was now.

Because of what happened back then, Mango wanted this pair of twins to be the compensation for what he had missed.

Mango's eyes softened.

"If they turn out to be sons, they'll definitely hate you after they've been born."

"They can't be sons. They must be daughters, or else hey'll just be a burden."

Nathaniel's words sounded a little unpleasant to Mango.

"What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense. The children can hear what you are saying now. You'd end up crying when they refuse to call you their father after they've been born." Nathaniel said indifferently, "If they turn out to be sons, I'll definitely give them away."

"Who are you going to give it to? How dare you give my children away? I'll see if I can get rid of

you."

Mango became furious when she heard this.

Nathaniel hurriedly apologized when he saw that his wife was really angry.

"I said something wrong. Don't be angry, honey. I'll love them regardless of their gender."

However, he said sarcastically in his heart, "If it is a son, I'll definitely ask Tristan to raise him or give it to my eldest brother. I don't want two punks to steal his wife's attention. If it is a daughter, it is another matter."

Mango didn't know Nathaniel's thoughts. It was only when she heard Nathaniel's apology that she calmed down.

They had nothing to do, so they began to do activities that would be beneficial to their unborn child. Mango picked up her paintbrush and drew. She would play the piano or the violin sometimes as well as they enjoyed their leisurely time.

It was calm outside.

After the news of Tristan's death spread, Maverick and the Hans family sent people toAngollato discuss the investment plan.

The two families used a lot of money because they were relatives. Eugene and Noah invested a portion while Lebanon did not disappoint either. The industry leaders found a diamond mine deep

in the mountains, which directly paved the way for Angolla to become one of the economically strongest countries in the world.

Time passed by slowly and Mango was about to give birth after six months. Nathaniel began to worry as well. He didn't sleep well and he would wake up every time Mango turned over. He was afraid that Mango would give birth every moment.

Since Mango was pregnant with twins, she was a little bloated. Every day, the amount of time she could walk shortened as well.

Nathaniel really understood the hardships of his wife's pregnancy when he looked at her swollen arms and legs.

"Did this happen when you were pregnant with Zion and Rita?"

"My pregnancies at that time were much harder."

Mango's eyes seemed a little distant when she thought back to the incident five years ago.

"I inhaled some dust in my lungs because of the fire, so I didn't wait for the due date. They were delivered prematurely."

When Mango recalled everything that had happened in the past, her eyes were filled with pain.

Nathaniel held her hand tightly and whispered, "I'm sorry for making you and our children suffer so much." "It's all in the past."

Mango smiled faintly and her smile was full of relief.

She felt that she was having a good time. When she opened her eyes every day, her husband would always take care of her and give her whatever she wanted. She was just too happy compared to how she was five years ago.

Mango missed the children terribly, but she was still isolated from them. They could not communicate with the outside world, so they could only suppress their thoughts.

They did not know when they could go out.

Nathaniel knew what Mango was thinking, so he talked about things that happened when he was young to attract her attention.

Everyone had been looking for evidence of Tristan's survival for six months, but unfortunately, there was no result.

Ever since Tristan passed away, Priscilla had been staying indoors all this while. She missed all the moments she had with Tristan when she was at home. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She wanted to write it down to remember all her memories since she would be all alone.

She could not tolerate the fact that Tristan would die silently and vanish without a trace. Hence, she turned on the computer and wrote down the story of her and Tristan online.

She just wanted to record their feelings initially, but she didn't think that the story would go viral on the internet. Many people were asking what happened to Priscilla. For a moment, Priscilla had become the hottest topic in the romance fiction industry.

All this was beyond Priscilla's expectations. So many readers loved her story and she felt that many people knew about the relationship between her and Tristan. She couldn't help but become happier and directly immersed herself in writing the story.

Barack couldn't take it when he first received news of Tristan's death. Fortunately, he had Magnolia by his side. After nine months of grieving, he calmed down a little and his body was in a much better condition. However, he still couldn't remove the poison from his body completely.

Under Terrance's request, Barack and Magnolia returned to Ocean City and the Hans family while Brantley followed them as well.

Everyone seemed to be on the right track as if all the previous catastrophes had settled down. Desmond disappeared completely after the incident and no one could find traces of him. Meanwhile, Haniya stayed in Angolla and looked for his whereabouts day and night.
