The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 530

"You're staying at the military district? Whose house is it? Noah's?"

Walter naturally thought of Noah since Genevieve was his wife. He knew that Noah owned a house in the military district, and the identity of Genevieve's parents as a martyr had always been kept a secret. Mango didn't stay with the Song family, but with Noah's instead. Walter felt a little uncomfortable about this.

Mango was slightly stunned at Walter's words before murmuring, "I'm not staying with Noah's family. Anyway, I'm safe here, so you can rest assured."

This made Walter a little discontented as if Mango was unsafe with him, but he did not tell her anything after that.

"Okay, I'll send Wisdom over now. Please inform the guards at the door in advance, or else I can't get in."

The military district was indeed much safer if compared to the Song family. Here, even if Nick wanted to meet Mango, he wouldn't be able to enter without her permission. Thus, Walter was not worried about Nick could harm Mango.

"Alright."

Mango hung up the phone. Genevieve said smilingly, "Walter will probably hate me."

"Knock it off! By the way, you know many ladies in the hospital, right? Let's introduce some girls to him later!"

As Mango finished speaking, Genevieve shook her head immediately before saying, "You're such an unusual woman! Walter is a well-known playboy in Ocean City, so what kind of woman hasn't he seen? Does he even need me to introduce those girls? Do you think that he'll give up on you just because of a few women he met? Come on! A womanizer like him either won't give in or deeply in love with you. The relationship between you two will need some time to recover."

Upon hearing Genevieve's words, Mango couldn't help but sigh.

"We'll talk about this later. I'm going to look for Rita. Do you have a car? I need it right now."

Genevieve glanced at Mango's body and she said softly, "I'm worried about you, so don't even think about driving alone! Besides, you are in a mood swing now, so you'd better go out with Walter to look for Rita. As for Wisdom, don't worry about him. I've contacted our nanny to take care of him, and he'll be fine for the time being."

"Thank you, Genevieve."

Mango wanted to say something, but she felt that this would be the best arrangement.

"Don't mention. Take this medicine when necessary, but make sure not overdosed. You are a patient now, so don't push yourself too hard. I know that Rita is a treasure to you, and you are worried for her, but take care of yourself, okay?"

"Got it."

Mango accepted the medicine from Genevieve to keep it in her close-fitting pocket.

She subconsciously called Nathaniel again, but the line was still not being connected. Mango was about to collapse due to anxiety.

A day had passed, and Nathaniel was still missing.

Thinking of what he had been through during his last disappearance, Mango was worried about anything that would happen to him this time. Mango had no clues, and she was worried sick for Nathaniel. Furthermore, there was no news from Rita, which caused her to be worn out.

Walter came in a short while.

After the guards were being informed, Walter took Wisdom into the military district.

When the child met Mango, he said guiltily to her, "I'm sorry for losing Rita, Mommy. I'm so sorry! It's all Daddy's fault for making Mommy so worried!"

Seeing how guilty Wisdom was, Mango felt a little uneasy.

She wanted to hug Wisdom, but her body did not allow her to do so. Mango could only rub his head before saying "Don't have to blame yourself as this has nothing to do with you. No matter what your Daddy did, it was his choice. You don't have to apologize on behalf of him. Besides, we don't need you to bear the responsibility of adults. As for Rita, you have done your best!"

"But I lost Rita, and I should've escaped with her or stay together while waiting for Uncle Song to save us. Otherwise, Rita wouldn't have gone missing."

Wisdom burst into tears all of a sudden.

What should he do?

Was he really useless?

Wisdom lost Zion last time, and this time, he failed to protect Rita again. How could he be so stupid?

Daddy was right. He was an idiot that couldn't do anything well.

While thinking of this, Wisdom cried even louder.

Mango's heart ached when she saw Wisdom weeping like this.

"It's alright. Wisdom, you've done enough. Just think about it, if you don't let Rita go first, what if there are any other problems? You gave her the chance to escape, so you've done great! As for Rita not coming back, perhaps something goes wrong during the journey, and it's none of your business. Don't take everything on your shoulders. You're still a child, so you shouldn't endure everything. Listen to Mommy, eat well, and have a rest. Uncle Song and I will get Rita back, alright?"

Mango was amiable. She didn't seem to have any intention of reprimanding Wisdom at all, which made the kid feel more upsetting.

He plunged himself into Mango's arms while sobbing.

Wisdom always pretended to be strong in front of his Daddy and everyone. Yet, he couldn't hold back this time upon meeting Mango. Wisdom had gone through so much within such a short period, but he would always remember who treated him the best.

To him, Mango was his biological mother who couldn't be replaced by anyone.

Seeing Wisdom crying like this, Mango was sad as well.

Genevieve's servants had arrived while Mango was consoling Wisdom. Mango then left the boy with them before heading to search for Rita with Walter.

Both of them were silent on the way. Mango didn't know what to say, and Walter was silent as well, which caused the atmosphere to become a little awkward.

As they reached not far away from Nick's villa, Mango noticed that he and the others were there. The place was surrounded by his people, and Nick might in a great rage due to Wisdom and Rita's disappearance.

Walter frowned slightly and he whispered, "It is alright for us to move on though. Nick is throwing a fit, so he may not notice us. What do you think? Shall we stick with the plan?"

Mango looked in Nick's direction. She had no time nor energy to deal with him face to face. Thus, she whispered to Walter, "Don't alert him. Let's change the plan. Is there a way to take a detour?" "No, it's either move forward or backward. I'm thinking if Rita comes out of the villa, which direction will she go?"

Walter's words reminded Mango of something important.

Rita had a habit, whereby she would always walk to the right unconsciously.

When Mango recalled it, she closed her eyes while imagining herself as Rita. Then, she visualized herself coming out of the villa and going straight to the right. Mango then opened her eyes to mutter, "Move backward. Rita will walk down this path, but I have no idea where it will lead to."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Seeing that Mango answered firmly, Walter turned the steering and he drove away with Mango without alarming Nick.

Their car drove slowly along the way, but they couldn't see a trace of Rita. Mango was getting worried as time passed, and all sorts of bad speculations started to pop up in her mind.

At that moment, they saw a police car parked by the road. It seemed like the policeman was talking to a boy at the entrance of a villa politely.

Walter said with a smile, "Kids nowadays that are born with a silver spoon have become so classy at such a young age? They are much mature than I was at that time." Mango turned slightly to take a look at the boy.

The little boy was charming with a pair of pretty eyes, but he showed a little of fortitude within his eyes. He was definitely a child raised from a good family education and background.

As Mango was planning to move further with Walter, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar skirt hem.

"Stop here!"

Walter was startled as Mango suddenly raised her voice, but he still pulled the brakes in time.

"What's wrong?"

"I think it's Rita!"

Mango quickly got out of the car.

She felt a little dizziness, so Mango just leaned against the door for a break.

Walter wanted to stretch out his hand to help Mango, but he was rejected by her.

"No, I can do it."

"Can you stop being so stubborn?"

In fact, Walter was slightly annoyed.

Mango refused his help repeatedly, causing him to feel as if that woman was trying to push him away from her boundaries. Even though it was only his delusion, Walter was uncomfortable with this. Mango clearly knew about Walter's dissatisfaction, but she just kept silent. Walter had to face the matter eventually, so it was not bad for him to realize this now.

Seeing that Mango did not respond to him, Walter was even more despondent.

He kicked the rock beside his feet and it struck straight toward the police car.

The siren on the police car rang out as the rock hit on it, which immediately attracted the attention of the police.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

The policeman showed open hostility to Walter.

Walter was in a huff. Upon noticing the police's bad attitude, he immediately sneered, "What's wrong? Is this place yours?"

The policeman wanted to say something at first, but when he finally realized that it was Walter, he paused right away. He then put a stiff smile on his face before saying, "Oh, it's Mr. Song! How can I help you?" "Do I have to report to you wherever I go? Who do you think you are?"

Walter was showing extreme arrogance towards the policeman.

Mango knew that Walter was venting his anger. She quickly stepped forward to say, "I'm sorry, Walter was bitten by a dog just now, so he's in a foul mood. Please excuse him."

"It's okay."

The policeman responded promptly.

Walter became a bit speechless.

When did he get bitten by a dog? Wasn't he infuriated by Mango's lack of manners?

However, that woman didn't give him the chance to explain. She looked straight at the little boy in front of her.

"Hello, may I know your name?"

Mango could see the intelligence in the little boy's eyes. He was just as calm as Zion, and such a child was either a genius or a successor that had been well-trained. Regardless of his identity, Mango felt that she couldn't treat him like a child.

The boy noticed Mango's politeness, and he smiled before saying, "My name is Shawn. Aunty, do you need any help?"

At the same time, a familiar figure ran out from inside.
