The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1515

"Uncle Carl, are you all right?"

Wisdom turned around and looked into Carlson's thoughtful eyes. His smile was particularly sincere and innocent.

Carlson's heart trembled slightly, but he immediately smiled and said, "Not good, I feel like I'm about to collapse. I don't know if it's because I'm not used to this place."

"Definitely. Although it's only an hour's flight from Ocean City to the Santell Capital, they're not in the same province after all. It is common for people to be unaccustomed to different environments. So Uncle Carl, why don't you return to where you came from?"

Although Wisdom said with a smile, it was obvious that he wanted Carlson to leave.

He was also puzzled. How did he offend Wisdom to the point that the kid hated him so much?

"Well, I'll be fine in a few days."

After finishing his words, Carlson lay directly on the sofa and he did not dare to drink the tea.

Nathaniel looked at them bickering and shook his head.

"Wisdom, Uncle Carl came to protect us, so don't cause trouble for him."

"Oh, I see."

Wisdom answered obediently and he didn't say anything else before he directly walked into the room. He still had to take care of his little brothers, so he didn't have time to accompany Carlson. Carlson looked at Wisdom's back and said innocently, "Nathaniel, why does your son hate me so much?"

"I don't know the answer either. You'd better think about what you did that offended him."

It was also Nathaniel's first time seeing Wisdom provoking someone, so he could not help but laugh.

Originally, he thought that Wisdom was an honest kid and was afraid that he would lose out in the future. Now it seemed that he was worried over nothing.

Carlson still couldn't figure it out after he pondered for a while. Wasn't it because he wanted to see Nathaniel's twins? How did he provoke them?

"By the way, when will Harris come?" "He said he'll arrive as soon as possible." Nathaniel remembered Harris White and sat down next to Carlson. He smiled and said, "Let's discuss something."

"What for?"

Carlson glanced at Nathaniel and felt that the situation seemed a little dangerous now. He always felt that Nathaniel was scheming something.

"I'm warning you. Don't try to do anything that you shouldn't."

Nathaniel said indifferently, "What's wrong with coming up with an idea? You see, Harris is our best friend, but it's a waste for him to only work as your private doctor. Why don't we let him treat my wife as well? Carlson rolled his eyes and felt that Nathaniel was really crossing the line.

"Where's your doctor?"

Bettany's existence was not a secret, but Nathaniel wasn't sure if she was still on his side.

"She went out for business and won't come back soon Just tell me if you'll let me hire Harris."

Carlson was rarely this serious. He looked at Nathaniel and said word by word, "Nathaniel, do you think my father won't have the same thoughts as me? I don't care what Bettany is doing outside, but she has never appeared since you've been isolated. It's fine if you're still being isolated, but you're back now and your wife is in good health. Do you think they won't have any suspicions because Battany isn't here? I don't care what you are doing or what you are planning, but it doesn't mean that others will be the same. Harris can help, but you should think about this yourself."

With that, Carlson went into the guest room.

Nathaniel was a little stunned because he didn't expect that.

After he thought carefully, he found that Tristan's matter was quite major and there must be many people spying on him. Let alone Bettany, it was estimated that the few servants in the Ye's Mansion and his entire family were being watched closely.

Nathaniel's heart pounded when he thought of this. He glanced at Carlson's room and knew that Carlson was giving him a kind reminder. However, Nathaniel didn't dare to ask Carlson about what he knew. He quickly went to the study and sent a message to Maverick.

When Maverick received the news from Nathaniel, he quickly replied, "It's okay. Bettany will be back in the afternoon. I have already thought about it, so I arranged for someone else to treat that guy. I arranged for her to treat another patient and she should come back with me now."

The name Tristan was a taboo, so Maverick's words were very obscure.

Nathaniel understood. He approved of Maverick's meticulousness and asked, "Who?"

"Your brother-in-law, Newell."

Maverick's words slightly surprised Nathaniel.

"What happened to him?"

Newell had left with his child since Sisella had injured him. Nathaniel did not make things difficult for Newell, and he sent people to follow and protect Newell instead. However, he could not help but worry because he did not expect to hear from Maverick that Newell was injured.

Maverick said in a low voice, "It's okay. I just want to attract attention."

This made Nathaniel understand the situation instantly.

Newell was injured deliberately in order to divert the attention of everyone from Bettany. When Nathaniel thought about Newell's efforts to help him, he felt a sense of warmth in his heart. "Is he all right?"

"Yes, he'll definitely be alright under Bettany's care."

The two ended the conversation after a few more words.

Carlson didn't come out again even when they had dinner. Nathaniel said that Car son was not feeling well, so he asked someone to send food in. However, he was surprised to see games.

Carlson was playing

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing. Your children don't like me, so why should I make them hate me even more? I don't want to fall into their traps again and I can't possibly handle it again. I'd better stay in my room and play games." Carlson did not try to hide anything, and Nathaniel wanted to laugh.

"How dare you be so petty over these kids?"

"You're wrong, I'm not going to argue with them. It just so happens that I haven't had a good rest for the past few years. I'm here to relax, so don't disturb me. Go and do whatever you have to do." Carlson drove Nathaniel out in disgust.

Nathaniel looked at the door speechlessly, but the corners of his mouth were raised. Carlson had returned to his family over the years. After he took up his own responsibilities, he had been tense all the time. Since Carlson could finally act like his former self again, Nathaniel was happy for him.

After returning home, Brantley couldn't find his wife's things for a long time and she even took their wedding photos away.

She left the place without any traces as if she had never been part of the Xiao family. But how did Magnolia and Queena's two daughters come here?

Brantley leaned back in his chair and he looked a little lonely.

He felt the most guilty towards his lover, but he couldn't see her for the last time. He didn't even know where she was buried and it made him feel incredibly upset.

The older a person was, the more they would recall things that happened in the past.

Brantley remembered the time when he and his wife had just gotten married. He couldn't help but sigh. After all, a person who's gone could never be brought back again.

He called Nathaniel.

"I haven't found your grandma's things yet. Now I can only hope that Walter can find something."

"I understand, Grandpa. Don't be too anxious. There will be a way."

Nathaniel comforted him.

He called Walter, but the latter had changed his phone number. Perhaps he chad ut off everyone because of Deborah's illness, so Brantley didn't know how they were doing. Nathaniel understood Walter's way of doing things.

The three children were so happy that they surrounded their little brothers all day and it made Mango feel peaceful.

More than a week passed in a flash and the two babies were asleep almost all day. They slept and ate every day, which made everyone at ease.

After Harris flew over, he checked at Carlson's body and prepared a set of herbs. He was very interested in Wisdom and the two soon became close.

Carlson saw Wisdom's attitude toward Harris and he could not help feeling a little depressed.

"Am I that detestable?"

Rita glanced at him and didn't say anything, but her gaze was unfriendly. Zion merely pursed his lips and didn't say anything because he didn't know what to say either. When Bettany came back, she brought back Newell and his son at the same time as well.

Newell's son was already over one year old and he had learned to speak. He had just learned to walk, and his staggering steps made the three children feel even more amused. For a moment, the entire Ye's Mansion was filled with chatter and laughter. It was very lively, which made Carlson feel as if he was in a dream.

His surroundings were doomed to be lonely, but he had never thought of living with such a big family. He suddenly had an idea of integrating himself with them and he didn't want to leave.

Harris came in with a can of beer handed it to Carlson. He looked at the lively scene below and said with a smile, "This is actually the real world, you should come out more often."

Carlson let out a bitter laugh and said, "Do you think I don't want to? Someone has to guard this beautiful world, right? If I don't take that position, everyone will be in danger. I can only protect the people I treasure when I have power."

"But ou'll be too tired."

Harris knew and understood Carlson very well. In fact, no one wanted freedom more than Carlson. Unfortunately, there were too many people he cared about and wanted to protect.

"I'll still be alive even if I'm tired. Nathaniel and you are the reason why I'm still alive, so I have to do something. What has my father done recently?"

Carlson opened the can and took a sip. It seemed that the taste was not to his liking, so he frowned slightly.

Harris said lightly, "He's still monitoring the Ye family, but as you expected, someone has been investigating Bettany's whereabouts and the people around her recently. There are even spies in Angolla and the research institute in the Dark Forest is probably monitored as well."

Carlson didn't react much. He took another sip of beer and asked in a low voice, "How is Desmond?"

"Everything is very stable currently, but I am worried about Haniya. She's someone who values friendship. After such a long time, she still hasn't given up looking for the whereabouts of Desmond. I originally wanted to say a few words to her, but there were too many people around her."

Carlson did not express any opinion, but he once again lowered his voice and asked, "How is he? Is he all right? He bled so much in the Dark Forest at that time. Although Bettany saved him, there has been no news about him during this period of time and I don't know how he is doing."
