The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1531

Nathaniel did not respond to Harris, leading the latter to think that the call was hung up. Harris took a look and confirmed that the call was still ongoing. He could not help but ask, "Is there no mobile signal over

your place?"

"No, it's working fine."

Nathaniel answered in an instant.

Then only Harris felt Nathaniel's hesitation.

"Do you have anything to tell me?"

"Yes, I do."

Harris was really annoyed by Nathaniel's curt answer.

"Hey, how can your wife stand you? You can't even answer one question properly. How can you get a wife?"

"Not only did I get married, but I also have five kids. Are you jealous? Sure, get married if you can."

Nathaniel's sudden sharp rebuke irritated Harris instantly.

"Nathaniel, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? I'm telling you, if you do this again, I won't talk to you anymore."

After being interrupted by Harris, Nathaniel felt much more relaxed.

He laughed all of a sudden and said, "Find a way to bring Carl's blood here. I'm in Y Country."

"What do you want his blood for? Besides, don't you know who Carl is? Do you think I can get his blood easily?"

"This is important. Something big has happened."

After saying that, Nathaniel hung up the phone and left Harris hanging.

Nathaniel did this every single time. What was wrong with him?

Did it make him happy to keep Harris in the dark?

However, although Harris had complaints about Nathaniel, he still went to the Carlson.

"Hey, give me a drop of blood."

"What do you need it for?"

Carlson was now completely different than he was when in the Ye's Mansion. He exerted the domineering aura of the superior now. Moreover, there was no smile on his handsome face all day long. In fact, Harris didn't really prefer Carlson to be in this state, but he also understood that the latter had no choice.

"It's Nathaniel's request. He asked me to go to Y

Country immediately. I don't know what he wants."

Harris did not bother to hide anything from Carlson.

When Carlson heard that Nathaniel wanted his blood, he didn't ask any further questions.

"Here, help yourself. I'm going to oversee Zion's training. I won't go out unless there's a need for it."

Upon hearing this, Harris paused for a moment and said, "You're not going to raise Zion as a successor, are you?"

"It doesn't matter. Let's see how much he can learn. The boy has great potential."

Carlson was excited when Zion was mentioned. Anyone else would have thought that Zion was his son.

When Harris thought of Nathaniel's protectiveness of his children, he couldn't help but say, "You'd better be careful when you train Zion. Otherwise, Nathaniel will come for you." "Got it. Hurry up and take the blood. Then you can leave."

Harris was being dismissed again.

He was a little disheartened. Why was everyone chasing him away once they had the chance?

However, he still took 400cc of Carlson's blood. He flew to Y Country overnight according to the coordinates Nathaniel had provided him.

Nathaniel did not force Tessa to tell him anything. After Tessa and Sissaye came out of the bath, he found a doctor to examine them. Then he applied some cream for Tessa's wound.

After everything Tessa and Sissaye went through, they were both very tired. Nathaniel ordered the servants to prepare some food.

Sissaye had never eaten a proper meal since she was young. When she saw the food on the table, she was somewhat hesitant and reserved. She only picked up her fork and started to eat once she looked at Tessa and saw that the latter nodded in approval.

Although she was short and grew up in a bad environment, her manners and dining etiquette were very proper. It was obvious that Tessa had taught her well.

Tessa still taught Sissaye to be a noble lady even though they were in a bad situation.

This was something so ingrained in Tessa that she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.

Mango's heart ached for all the hardships Sissaye had gone through. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

It was quiet during mealtime.

After the meal, Tessa seemed a little dizzy. Sissaye was slightly worried, so Nathaniel suggested that they took some rest.

Since they were in a strange environment, Nathaniel did not arrange for them to sleep separately. The two of them now stayed in the same room, which should make Sissaye feel safe.

Mango watched as they entered the room. She couldn't help but say, "I've always thought that Rita has it hard. Now that I've seen Sissaye, I sympathize with her too."

"Each family has its own problems. No matter which family they are from, they have to settle their problems by themselves. There is only so much that we can help them with." Nathaniel's words were perfectly reasonable.

Mango and Nathaniel were worn out after this day's incident.

They had come here for vacation, but now they had run into Tessa. It seemed like they would have to pause their plan or change their trip.

At the thought of this, Nathaniel felt somewhat guilty.

"I'm sorry, Mango. I initially brought you here for a trip, but I didn't expect..."

"It's okay. This is not your fault. Since we run into some trouble, let's settle it. If Marcelo doesn't divorce Tessa, Tessa and Sissaye won't be able to live a peaceful life. We..."

"We won't intervene in the divorce."

Mango was taken aback once Nathaniel said this.

"What do you mean? Isn't she your most reliable subordinate? Isn't she Noah's sister? Are you going to leave her alone?"

This did not seem like what Nathaniel would do.

Nathaniel carried Mango in his arms out of the blue. Mango was caught off guard as he lifted her into the air. She immediately wrapped her arms around his neck in fright, her brows slightly furrowing. "Nathaniel, do you want me to slap you?"

"You can slap me as much as you want once we're in the bedroom."

His reply sounded normal, but why did he have to add the phase "in the bedroom"?

Mango was dejected.

Nathaniel was getting naughtier and naughtier.

Nathaniel didn't know what Mango was thinking. He quickly carried her into the room, locked the door. Then both of them lay on the huge bed.

"Let's take a bath together, shall we? Or do you prefer to take it later?"

As Mango looked at the glint in Nathaniel's eyes, she knew what he was up to even though she was slow to catch on.

"No, I'm dog-tired."

"It's okay. You just have lie down. I'll do everything."

Nathaniel's words annoyed Mango quite a lot.

"What do you mean by I just have to lie down while you do all the work? Don't you know that my back will kill me tomorrow morning?" "Then should me give you a massage first?"

Nathaniel grasped Mango's shoulders skillfully. The force was just right, and it made Mango feel extremely comfortable.

"If you go bankrupt one day, you can open a massage parlor to make money."

Just as she finished speaking, Nathaniel flicked her forehead with his finger.

"How can you wish for me to go bankrupt? Are you going to give me all the money if I'm broke?"

"Nathaniel, don't you feel ashamed of youself? Why do you have to live off me instead of being a man who lives on his own two feet?"

"Because you're my everything."

Nathaniel's shameless words immediately stopped Mango from speaking any further.

Fine, she would forgive him since he was handsome.

Under Nathaniel's slick words and massage, Mango had basically submitted to his whims. She was beguiled and conquered, one step at a time. In the end, Nathaniel had tasted every inch of her body. Her whole body was so sore that she wish she could kick him to the ground. However, she felt pain all over her entire body as soon as she moved. She had to give up on the plan of kicking Nathaniel to the floor in the end.

As Nathaniel looked at Mango's resentful eyes, he smiled and said, "Shall I give you another massage?"

"Get away from me!"

Nathaniel felt a little guilty after Mango's outburst.

Alright, he was indeed a little violent when they were in bed just now.

In order to make up for her sore back, he whispered, "Didn't you ask me before why I didn't care about Tessa and Marcelo's marriage?"

"Yes, why is that?"

As expected, he had Mango's full attention.

He took the opportunity to put his arm behind her neck and pulled her into his embrace. Her sexy voice spoke the answer calmly.

"I have already asked Harris to bring Carlson's blood here. When he is here, I'll do a paternity test for Sissaye. If she is indeed Carlson's daughter, why will we need to interfere? I'm sure Carlson will want Marcelo all to himself."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure that Carlson will still like Tessa even though eight years have passed?"

"He didn't just like her. His love for her resides deep in his bones."

Nathaniel let out a sigh and said, "If it weren't for love, he would not have let her go back then."

Mango was a little perplex.

If Carlson really loved Tessa deeply, shouldn't they be together?

Nathaniel seemed to know what Mango was thinking about, so he said softly," Carlson's status has limited the things he wants to do. His marriage will not be up to him to decide. Even though the Soo family is an established, wealthy family, only one man in their family has done well in life, and that was Noah. The rest of their family members are not considered outstanding. The Soo family goes all the way back to centuries ago. Their wealth is immeasurable. Anyone from a wealthy family would be a match to them in marriage. However, Carlson is the heir of the Soo family. Since he is the heir, he needs a wife who is no just from a wealthy family, but also someone who can help him in politics. Tessa does not fit the criteria."

As he spoke of this, he was glad that he did not have a high status, thus enabling him to marry Mango and live their lives together.

Mango frowned as she asked, "Has he never tried to fight for it?"

"He loves Tessa more than anyone, so naturally, he considers more aspects than anyone else. Taking into account his identity and position, if he wants to fight for her, he will impact a lot of matters, possibly in a bad way. At that time, all the enemies of the Mo family will attack Tessa first. Even if he is able to send her a lot of bodyguards, he can't restrict her freedom. However, once she steps out of the Mo Family's protection, only death awaits her."

Nathaniel remembered Carlson's pain and conflict at that time. He sounded a little heartbroken for him.

"Carlson chose to break up because he loves her. Moreover, back then, he wasn't as powerful as he is now. He couldn't even protect himself, much less protect Tessa. If that's the case, letting her leave is the wisest choice. Carlson doesn't know how many years it will take for him to consolidate his position and build his own empire. Everything is unknown to him. He can't be selfish and ask Tessa to wait for him. After all, a woman's youth is short-lived. That's why he pushes her aside, hoping that she can live an ordinary life. However, she is the only woman he loves deeply in his whole life. Even though eight years have passed, he will still go to a place on her birthday every year and spend a day there."

"Where is the place?"

Mango's passion for gossip was completely ignited. She would never imagine that a man like Carlson would be so affectionate.
