The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 1513
Mango opened her eyes when the plane landed in Ocean City.
"Are we home?"
"Yes, we are."
After such a long period of being away, Nathaniel still felt that the air in Ocean City was the freshest. Mango also felt at ease and she was in a good mood. "We're finally home."
Mango stretched lazily and looked at her children that were in the arms of the midwife. A happy smile appeared on her face.
"Don't stay outside in the cold wind."
Nathaniel wrapped his coat around Mango once more as if he wanted to cover her entire body.
Mango felt a little annoyed because Nathaniel only left a slit for her eyes after he wrapped her up. However, she swallowed the words that she was about to say when she recalled how much this man cared about her.
Zion and the other children weren't on the same plane as Mango, but she wasn't worried at all. After all, Carlson and Nathaniel had arranged everything well.
Lilian hurried out to welcome them when they returned to the Ye's Mansion.
Mango was completely flabbergasted when she saw that Lilian was pregnant.
"Lilian, you've been pregnant for at least six months, right?"
"No, it's only been five months."
Lilian touched her belly which was much larger than usual and smiled helplessly, but her face was full of happiness.
Nathaniel involuntarily took a look at Lilian's stomach and said nothing, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
This was the first time Carlson had come to the Ye's Mansion, so he couldn't help but observe it for a bit before saying, "Your old house is really old-fashioned."
"Yes, it was left behind by our ancestors. Are you going to live here?"
Nathaniel did not call him Master Mo because he was worried about Carlson's identity. Since Carlson had introduced himself as Carl, Nathaniel would address him that way in the future. "Of course, I'm living in this mansion."
Carlson walked in without any hesitation. Mango felt that Carlson was a little interesting, so she just smiled while Nathaniel took the lead in sending her upstairs.
The room was clean and the flowers on the table had just been picked.
Mango felt comfortable when she returned to her room.
"Home is the best place on earth."
Mango lay on the bed in a spread-eagle position while she took a deep breath with a face full of satisfaction.
Nathaniel smiled because he knew that Mango had been bored over this period of time.
Although everything was good in the hotel, they were still being isolated for the inspection after all. It was almost the same as being in jail, but all of it was worth it after all. "You'd better be mindful of your condition because you've just given birth. You'd better stay in bed now. When the midwife comes back, I'll ask her to cook something delicious for you." Nathaniel pulled over the blanket to cover Mango.
Mango heard Nathaniel's words and understood that he was going to deal with some matters. She couldn't help but ask, "Is Carl Master Mo?"
"Yes."
Nathaniel did not intend to hide from her.
Mango felt a little depressed after she heard the answer that she wanted.
"Isn't the examination over? Why is he here?"
Initially, she thought that she would be able to contact some outsiders when she returned home and she wanted to see how Tristan was doing right now. After all, it had been so long but there had been no news of him at all. Mango had always been unsure, but she never thought that Carlson would come to their house as well.
Nathaniel's eyes were helpless.
"He should be protecting us. I think it has something to do with the colour of our youngest son's eyes."
Mango wasn't stupid and she immediately understood Nathaniel's words.
"Is he afraid that our son will have Desmond's genes?"
"Yes."
Nathaniel's words brought a hint of sadness to Mango's face.
Nathaniel felt a little distressed and helpless when he saw his wife like this, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't let you and the children get into trouble. Now that Master Mo is here, there must be a turning point. As for Tristan's news, we'd better wait for a while. I know that you feel bad for Priscilla, but we can't do anything about the current situation."
"I know, but I feel a little uncomfortable."
Mango got up and leaned on Nathaniel's shoulder while she whispered, "Why do you think that our son's eyes are blue? Although they look good, this is a bit of a coincidence."
"Everything will pass. Grandpa said that our greatgrandmother is a foreigner, so perhaps the colour of our son's eyes are hereditary. As long as we find this evidence, we can dispel the doubts of the higher- ups."
Nathaniel explained what had happened on the plane. Mango had fallen asleep at that time, so she might not have been able to hear it.
As expected, Mango was a little stunned.
"My great grandmother?"
"Yes."
Mango was a little surprised.
"It wasn't easy to accept a foreigner in that era, right?"
"Yes, so it's said that our great-grandfather is a big shot."
Nathaniel smiled faintly, but Mango could hear a hint of mockery in his tone.
"How dare you tease our ancestors? Aren't you afraid of karma?"
Mango punched Nathaniel, but he grabbed her and held her fist in his hand.
Although she had given birth, her body temperature was quite low and it was colder than that of an ordinary woman.
"Bettany is not here, so you need to recuperate your body. You said that there are a lot of people who are doctors around us, but they're not around when we really need medical help." Nathaniel sighed helplessly.
Mango said, "Who said that? Didn't Genevieve help us deliver our child?"
"Yes, but she's the director after all. I heard that the higher-ups intends to transfer her to the military hospital in the capital because of this matter. If she is appointed, Noah may take the children to the capital." Nathaniel's words stunned Mango.
"Why? Isn't everything okay in Ocean City?"
"Aren't all the big shots going to the capital to develop their status?"
Although Nathaniel had said so, Mango immediately understood that he was being implicated by them.
Maybe it would be impossible for Noah or Genevieve to treat them from now on.
Perhaps it was because of the child or the close relationship between the four heirs of Ocean City that the higher-ups had to interfere. Mango's eyes deepened as she thought of this.
"Mr. Sanchez..."
"Something happened to Emberly's family recently. Eugene followed him there and he may not be able to come back in the near future.
Nathaniel knew that Mango had guessed it.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressing.
Mango felt the tightness in her chest tighten.
"When will Genevieve and the others be appointed?"
"Probably very soon, but we didn't have the chance to say goodbye to them. I heard that Genevieve was told to stay behind when she went to Santell Capital to help with your delivery. It was Noah who took the children over there."
Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango felt even more uncomfortable.
Can't I even have a chance to meet him?
"Why? Even if we are not together, we can just use the Internet. Can't we use WhatsApp? Is it necessary to do this?" "If possible, don't contact each other on WhatsApp. It's better this way we find out whether our son's eyes are blue because of Desmond's blood or his inherited genes."
Nathaniel knew that Mango was suffering, but he still needed to say something. After all, Carlson had also moved in.
Mango knew these reasons, but she felt somewhat upset.
"Well, when you think that all our efforts are worth it, will you be in a good mood?"
Nathaniel hugged Mango tightly.
Mango felt bad, so did he.
He had been with Noah for the longest time, but now they had to be separated. Although the Soo family's industry was still in Ocean City, what was the meaning of those industries and businesses for Nathanie if Noah was gone?
However, life was like this. The only thing they could do was to live a good life. They were doing all this to give Tristan a new life, so they had to live with these feelings no matter what.
Sure enough, Mango's face also relaxed a lot.
"I know. You can go and deal with your things while I'm in my confinement period. I don't want to talk to Master Mo either. Thank you for keeping so many things a secret." Nathaniel smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay. I am your husband."
"Thank you, honey."
Her voice touched Nathaniel's heart. However, when he thought of Mango's current state, he could only sigh in his heart.
Stop it.
"Also, don't say anything else in front of the midwife."
Nathaniel's words made Mango pause.
"What do you mean? Is she also a member of the higher-ups?"
"I don't know, but from my years of experience, maybe she is."
Mango immediately became angry.
"Then ask her to quit! I don't want to..."
"Whether you want to or not, she has to be here. Even if it's not the midwife, it may be someone else. We can't do anything unless you can find someone you know to be the midwife. It's better if she works for us now. Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with everything."
Nathaniel's words made Mango depressed.
"When will these things end?"
"Only when we find out the truth. Our son's eyes are an inevitable problem, and we wanted to investigate Grandma's matter before, right? And Liu Feng as well. However, Tristan's matter has been put on hold, and we found a connection to our son's eyes by coincidence, so perhaps this is fate."
Nathaniel could always stay calm in a chaotic situation. How many hardships did he have to go through to reach this stage?
Mango felt a trace of heartache in her heart.
She opened her arms to hold Nathaniel and buried her face in his chest. While she listened to the steady heartbeat, she whispered, "You must be careful. I can't help you with anything now, so you may have to work harder."
"It's alright. I'll be at ease if you can take good care of yourself. Mango, I once thought of staying by your side during your confinement period. But now that something like this has happened and I can't stay by your side every day, you..."
"What are you talking about? Am I such an unreasonable person? Do whatever you want to do. I'm fine, so don't worry. Besides, I'm in our house in Ocean City!"
Mango's smile eased the trace of uneasiness in Nathaniel's heart. He touched her head and heard the sound of a car engine coming from outside, as well as the cheerful voices of the children.
It seemed that the midwife and the children had returned.
