The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 564

Nathaniel's face suddenly blushed red.

Seeing his shy expression, Mango couldn't help but smile and ask, "What's wrong? Are you shy?"

"It's just a kiss. Why do you have to talk so much?"

Nathaniel felt a little embarrassed. Then he immediately pinned her down and approached her with another kiss on the lips.

Mango was amused by his reaction, and she accepted the kiss willingly.

His lips were alluring as usual.

Although she didn't know how much time she had left before they had to part ways, she was reluctant to leave him.

What would Nathaniel do if she really died?

What about the children?

So far, she had fulfilled every promise she made to Zion. However, this time, Mango was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it anymore.

At the thought of this, she was so emotional that she couldn't help but express all her intense feelings into this kiss.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel could feel the tension in her body. Hence, he thought that it was because she was worried about him, so he didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, he even teased her and said, "Ooh, why are you so eager? Are you expecting something more?"

Mango felt a bitter feeling in her chest, but she concealed it with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, I was."

"Well, don't be shy then!"

"Why would I? You're all I need."

Mango took the initiative to kiss him once again. This time, she didn't allow him any room to speak.

Nathaniel's passion was ignited in an instant.

They weren't able to spend much time together lately, and he missed her so much during this period. Now that she was finally in his arms, he couldn't hold in his urges any longer.

He finally erupted. He took off his jacket and covered up the surveillance camera. Then he pulled her in as he claimed her mouth hungrily until her knees gave in.

Mango would rather die in this thrilling joy, but she was afraid of dying in this evil place. She held back, yet she desired to let her emotions run free. This contradictory emotion caused her to become extremely sensitive.

Just then, Nathaniel suddenly drew back as he stopped all his movements and looked at Mango.

Mango's heart skipped a beat.

Did he discover something?

Had he guessed what was going on?

"What's wrong?"

Mango pretended to be confused.

Although she was looking extremely alluring, he still didn't dare to continue.

It was because of his own impulsiveness that Mango was hurt last time. This time, he didn't dare to act rashly no matter what.

"Forget it. I'll have Genevieve examine your condition once again when we get back to Ocean City. We can continue with this when the time comes. Anyway, we have all the time in the world."

Time?

No!

She didn't have much time left.

The countdown to the end of her life had already started.

Mango was in great desperation, but she didn't express it. Instead, she plastered on a bright smile.

"I've already told you that I'm fine. Can't you see it for yourself? What's wrong? Do you still have to get Genevieve's confirmation to be assured?"

Mango felt a little aggrieved as she spoke, and her eyes turned moist with tears in an instant.

Seeing her like this, Nathaniel was suddenly at a loss.

"No, it's not like that."

"I guess you must hate me. You're right. How would you be interested in a woman who is weak and sick like me? It's all my fault. It's..."

Upon hearing her outrageous statement, Nathaniel was annoyed and hurt by it. Then he abruptly lowered his head and used his mouth to put a halt to her endless chatter. A cunning glint flashed across Mango's eyes. She suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and went with his flow.

If there were only two days left for her to live, she would rather live carefreely.

Finally, Nathaniel lost his control and he washed her over like a wave of warmth. Her toes curled, unfurling all her senses as the taste of him nearly silenced all thoughts. After the extremely intense bed affair, her body seemed to have been hollowed out as she laid breathlessly on his chest.

He could feel her rapid breath around him, and he could finally feel her presence.

It was truly hard to imagine that she would come to this place alone to look for him.

"Mango, thank you for all you've done."

She couldn't understand what he meant, so she merely let out a soft hum and fell asleep.

While she was sleeping soundly, his heart ached upon noticing the dark circles underneath her eyes.

He pulled the blanket over her gently and got out of bed to find her phone. Before he could even check anything, Zion's call arrived.

"Mommy?"

"It's me."

His son's voice sounded so pleasant to his ears.

In the Underground City, it was the first time that he had felt fear. He was afraid that he could never return to Mango and his children.

He was almost hypnotized, and if it hadn't been for his children and Mango, he would've probably turned out like Merle.

He was scared at the thought of how his loved ones and children would be in danger, if he were to be hypnotised and controlled by others. Fortunately, he had managed to get through it.

However, he had no idea how long his persistence would last.

Zion was stunned when he heard Nathaniel's voice, and he asked with uncertainty, "Mr. Ye?"

"Why won't you call me daddy?"

Before this, Nathaniel had never cared about this matter. However, at this moment, he really wanted to hear Zion call him daddy for once. Zion paused for a moment before calling out awkwardly, "Daddy."

"Good boy!"

Nathaniel smiled in satisfaction.

He was willing to give up everything for the safety and health of his family.

Suddenly, Zion cleared his throat and said, "When are you guys coming back?"

"Soon, we'll be back in two days."

"Then I'll be waiting for you guys!"

Zion was obviously excited.

Although he did not say it, he was still very worried about Nathaniel. On the other hand, Nathaniel could feel his concern.

"Well, don't ask me for a souvenir when we get home. We're in a remote place, and there's nothing good here to give you."

Then Zion retorted and said, "Do you think I'm Rita? I don't care about gifts."

"Is that so?"

"Of course!"

Nathaniel smiled again.

Indeed, the days he spent with the children were blissful.

The two of them exchanged a few more words before Nathaniel asked about Mango.

Zion told him everything that happened. He told Nathaniel about how Mango escaped by herself, how she was caught by Hadley, and how she escaped.

Hearing this, Nathaniel glanced at Mango, who was soundly asleep, and felt extremely sorry for her.

Everything she did was touched his heart.

"Mr. Ye, you must be good to my mommy. If you dare to treat her badly, I will never forgive you."

"You brat, do you know that you're threatening your daddy?"

Although Nathaniel was being threatened by his son, he was still very happy.

However, Zion didn't care and he continued, "So what if I threaten you? Mommy has suffered so much for you. Now that she's finally found you, she still has to go through such hardship. Mr. Ye, just when will your family's troubles end? Why won't you let Rita and mommy go on a vacation happily?"

Nathaniel was stunned for a moment.

"My family's troubles? Isn't it also your family?"

"It's not the same. I am still a child. As a father, shouldn't you be responsible for your children's wellbeing? Furthermore, mommy is so beautiful, so shouldn't you let her live a happy life every day?" Hearing Zion's words, Nathaniel pondered this seriously and said, "Well, you're right."

"That's why you should work hard to settle these matters as soon as possible. If that useless brother of yours tries to do something evil again, then lock him up. He's so annoying."

After all, Zion was still a child, and he displayed his naivete in the things he said.

If Nathaniel could lock Nick up, was there still anything to worry about?

At the mention of Nick, Nathaniel's brows were tightly furrowed.

"All right, I know. I will handle it as soon as possible. Okay?" "Hurry up. I can't wait to go on a trip with mommy and Rita. Don't forget what you promised us."

After that, Zion hung up the phone.

Nathaniel's gaze suddenly turned grim.

In the Underground City, he had discovered many things which struck him with disbelief.

Nathaniel wanted to light up a cigarette, but he was afraid that the smell would wake Mango up. Therefore, he stood in front of the French window and fell deep into thought while looking at the scenery outside. After a few moments, Nathaniel finally picked up Mango's phone and called Thomas.

"Mr. Ye? Our men are ready, and we'll set off immediately, but it will take at least two days to arrive."

Thomas thought that Nathaniel was calling to urge him to be quicker.

However, Nathaniel whispered, "You don't have to come. Just have Sisi bring them over. On the other hand, I have something else for you to do."

"Go ahead, Mr. Ye."

Nathaniel paused for a moment as if he was still hesitating, while Thomas waited patiently.

About a minute later, Nathaniel finally whispered, "Find an opportunity to get a lock of Nick's hair, and well do a paternity test."

"What? What are you talking about, Mr. Ye?"

Thomas thought he had heard it wrong.

Nathaniel was torn, but he still kept his composure and muttered slowly, "We're using Nick's hair to do a paternity test. If I remember correctly, you have some with you right?"

"Oh, yes. I do."

Thomas was particularly surprised by his words.

"Mr. Ye, are you doubting something? How could Nick not be your biological brother?"

"Yes, how could he not be my brother?"

Nathaniel muttered to himself, and his eyes became increasingly gloomy.

He clenched his fists so tightly until his veins popped, and his voice became harsher.

"Let Noah investigate this matter. Don't let anyone find out except you and me."

"Yes sir!"

Although Thomas was puzzled, he still obeyed Nathaniel's order.

When Nathaniel hung up the phone, he felt even more depressed.

He suddenly turned around and realized that Mango had woken up at some point. She was leaning against the bed as she looked at him.

She looked at him with bright and curious eyes. "What did you say just now? What are you suspecting? Did you discover something? Is Nick not the same one we know?" Nathaniel's expression changed slightly and he said in a low voice, "I also want to know who he is."
