The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1516

Harris paused and quickly looked around. He saw that everyone was playing with Nathaniel's two children and Newell's son. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Master Mo, we're in the Ye family. Can you be more cautious when you speak?"

"What are you afraid of? Could they hide Tristan's news so easily if I didn't help Nathaniel?"

Carlson wasn't afraid of anything.

What happened to the Ye family?

However, he felt much more relaxed here. At least there were no pinhole cameras in his bedroom and there wouldn't be a bug installed in his cell phone. He wouldn't need to be worried if he would be poisoned to death every time he ate.

He felt at ease for the first time in so many years.

Carlson's heart suddenly ached when he looked at the happy smiles on Nathaniel, Mango, and their children's faces.

"Do you think I would have children with her by now if I hadn't chosen to go home back then?"

Harris knew who Carlson was thinking about. Over the years, the woman's name was taboo and no one dared to mention it, but he didn't expect that Carlson would talk about her.

"Carl, you'll definitely lose and gain some things. There is no way to get the best of both worlds."

Harris pitied Carlson.

Carlson said softly, "Nathaniel, Noah, Morgan, and even Eugene married the love of their lives. Even Tristan is married, but I am still alone. It's really upsetting."

Harris patted Carlson's shoulder and said, "People in high positions will always be like this, but you did it all to protect her. You're destined to be apart from her because of your identity and she'll end up dead if you didn't leave her. I heard that your father urged you to get married?"

Carlson laughed a little sarcastically when he heard this. He directly gulped down the beer and his mouth was filled with bitterness.

"It's just a marriage with joint interests, so it's not up to me to decide."

"Have you thought it over? Marriage is a big thing and you won't be happy spending your whole life with someone you don't like." Carlson suddenly hesitated when he heard Harris' words while he saw the happy expressions on Nathaniel and Mango's faces.

A tearful face appeared in his mind and he couldn't help but feel an immense wave of pain in his heart.

"Send a message to Tristan and ask him to give me an answer if he's not dead."

Carlson went straight into his room after that.

Harris knew that Carlson was in a bad mood and the latter wanted to heal his heartache alone. He couldn't help sighing as he sent a message to Tristan.

Harris went downstairs after that. When he saw how lively Nathaniel and his family were, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

The atmosphere of this family really made Carlson reluctant to leave them.

"Mrs. Ye, you have recovered well."

Harris went straight into the house.

Wisdom was the happiest about Harris' arrival.

"Uncle Harris, sit here."

Wisdom's enthusiasm made Mango want to laugh. She looked at Bettany and saw that the latter was not upset about it before she smiled and said, "Wisdom, your mentor is still here. Aren't you afraid that she will be sad if you try to please others like this?"

Harris glanced at Bettany and said with a smile, "Mango, you're wrong. Bettany and I are in different fields. Besides, I don't want to steal her apprentice. Wisdom and I are just talking."

Bettany was very happy that Wisdom and Harris were in touch, so she said, "It's alright as long as it's good for Wisdom."

"My mentor is the best."

Wisdom quickly stuck out his tongue and he looked more like a naughty child.

Nathaniel couldn't help but ask when he saw that Harris was discussing Mango's condition, "My wife's complexion has been quite good recently. You and Bettany should go and take a look at her to find ways to strengthen her immunity."

"Alright."

Bettany also nodded.

Newell's son's name was Matthew Powell. He was fair and looked slightly like Sisella, but he resembled Newell more.

Mango's heart ached for Matthew, who had lost his mother since he was young, so she pitied him. Since she had a few children at home, she asked Newell to stay behind to help manage the company as she did not want him to leave.

Newell didn't agree at first, but he changed his mind after Nathaniel talked to him. However, Mango didn't know what Nathaniel had said.

This kind of life made Mango feel happy.

They hadn't given names to their two sons yet, so Mango asked Nathaniel to name them. Nathaniel asked Dennis about it, but the latter wanted Nathaniel and Mango to make their own decisions. Nathaniel told Mango that he wanted their sons to follow Brantley's surname, which made her stunned.

"Why do you want them to have my grandpa's surname?"

Mango was a little confused.

Mango could understand if Nathaniel wanted their sons to follow her surname, but why would he want them to follow her grandfather's surname?

Nathaniel smiled and said when he saw Mango's confused expression, "The Ye family already has two sons while the Hans family has Tristan. At the very least, you have uncles in your family as well. However your grandfather only has two daughters and I feel that he's too lonely. Anyways, they are both our children and their identity won't change regardless of their surname. Why don't we let Grandpa be a little happier?"

Mango's eyes suddenly became a little teary.

The Ye family had a few members, but Mango did not expect Nathaniel to think of Brantley's loneliness. It seemed that he really regarded Brantley as his family.

"It's up to you."

Mango leaned into Nathaniel's embrace as she cried with joy.

Nathaniel patted her on the back and whispered, "Why do you cry so easily even at this age? Aren't you afraid that the children will laugh at you? They are going to go to primary school soon and it'll be embarrassing if you still act like this."

"I'm just like this in front of you, okay?"

Mango was a little shy.

Nathaniel raised the corner of his lips slightly and said, "Our sons are twins and they'll bring luck to our family. Well name the elder one Louis and the little one Lucas. Their names will give them strength and peace, so they'll definitely live a fruitful and comfortable life. Anyway, they can live in peace because their older brothers and sister will protect them."

Mango agreed with Nathaniel's words.

Brantley was so excited when he heard that the two children would have his surname. He almost had a heart attack, which scared Mango and Nathaniel badly.

"Grandpa, we'll have to reconsider it again if you keep doing this."

Mango's words immediately made Brantley excited.

"No! They're part of the Xiao family now and I'll fight anyone who objects their surname."

Brantley's nervous look suddenly amused the whole family.

The matters regarding Mango's grandmother had been on hold because they couldn't get in touch with Walter. Thus, everyone had a tacit understanding and no one mentioned it. Their days were extremely enjoyable.

more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye and Mango had also completed her confinement period. Her body had recovered very well under the guidance of Harris and Bettany. In fact, her complexion had improved greatly as well.

Rainie and Thomas couldn't make it back because they were filming overseas, so they sent a video to celebrate Mango's arrival and sent presents, which made Mango very happy.

She suddenly remembered that Rainie and Desmond were actually cousins, but Desmond's whereabouts were unknown at this time. It wasn't advisable for her to tell Rainie about it, so she would talk about it later.

Meanwhile, Carlson had been staying in the Ye family for more than a month. Although there was not much improvement in his relationship with the children, they didn't cause trouble for him either so it was also a sign of progress. He acted like a teenager as he stayed in his room every day and played games. He would sometimes arrange something to do with the children, so they could also play together. Perhaps it was because of the Carlson's existence that the Ye family had been very peaceful for the past one month. Mango really cherished this calmness.

She asked Nathaniel, "When will Carl leave?"

"I don't know."

Nathaniel didn't ask because Carlson had his own plans. More than a month later, Carlson finally received a reply from Tristan. "Don't worry, I'm still alive."

These few words caused Carlson to smile and he had a relaxed expression on his face.

At the same time, Zion detected a radio wave signal. After he transcribed it, he frowned slightly and told Nathaniel about the matter. Coincidentally, Mango was there as well and the two of them were dumbfounded after she heard Zion's report,.

"What do you mean? My brother has been in contact with Carl?"

Mango never thought that this would happen.

They were all nervous and afraid to hide the fact that Tristan was still alive. Unexpectedly, Tristan directly contacted Carlson. When did they get in touch with each other?

Was Tristan going to follow Carlson? Or did Carlson have other thoughts about the Ye family and Tristan in the beginning?

All of a sudden, Mango's mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Nathaniel frowned and thought for a while before he whispered, "I wondered why it went so smoothly. I always thought that it was because our act was believable, but the higher-ups are all elites. Even if we didn't miss anything, there will always be some traces left. It seems that Carl had taken care of it because only someone in his position can be this stealthy."

"So? What's the situation now? What is the meaning of Carl's actions?"

This was exactly what Mango cared about the most.

They thought that everything had been settled, but they didn't expect that the person they wanted to protect the most was in touch with Carlson.

Tristan's determination could be seen because he didn't contact his family at all, and he was only in touch with Carlson. Had he been on Carlson's side all along?

Mango had a headache as soon as she thought of this.

Nathaniel was also feeling a little conflicted, but he comforted Mango, "Don't think too much about it. I'll go talk to Carlson now. If he really has an ulterior motive towards Tristan, we can think of other ways to solve it."

Although Mango nodded, she still felt a little uneasy.

Nathaniel brought Zion out and left Mango in the room. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She wanted to find someone to make a phone call, but her phone suddenly rang.

Mango subconsciously rejected it when she saw that the caller ID on the phone was an unfamiliar number. However, the other party still refused to give up and called her again.

Mango was in a rather bad mood. When the other party called for the fifth time, she directly clicked the answer button and angrily said, "Who is it? I'm not interested in buying anything. I don't care whether it's a house, insurance, or anything else!"

"Mango, it's me!"

A familiar voice sounded, which caused Mango to freeze in shock.
