The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 578

Nathaniel smiled mysteriously and just told her to have a good meal.

At this point, Mango didn't think any more about it. After a nice meal, Nathaniel carried her into the car and turned on the air-conditioner.

"How are you feeling? Is it too cold?"

He was concerned that the cold temperature would affect her condition.

Mango shook her head and said, "It's fine."

"You should put on more layers."

As he spoke, he took off his own jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

His pleasant scent wrapped around her, and she could feel his warmth through the jacket. Right now, she hoped that time could stand still forever.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Thus, he was keeping it mysterious.

After that, she did not ask any more questions. Then, she leaned against her seat, and watched silently as he drove the car.

In fact, she felt quite comfortable.

If she could spend the rest of her life like this, Mango would be content. She really didn't need to ask for too much.

Soon, the car drove out of Ye's Mansion.

Mango realized that the path they took was familiar. Then, her brows knitted together in a faint frown.

Wasn't this the villa where Hadley had placed her after he kidnapped her?

She looked at Nathaniel in confusion.

Was he taking her to Hadley's place?

For what? Was it to meet Boston?

Was he trying to show her the thing that he had given to Boston?

She was confused. Meanwhile, she noticed that he looked calm and somewhat emotionless.

It seemed like he wasn't in a good mood.

Other people could never grasp his emotions, but she understood him more than anyone because she loved him so much. Therefore, she could immediately guess what he was feeling. Although he always looked cold and indifferent, she knew that the more nonchalant he looked, the more furious he was.

She could tell that he was actually angry right now.

But why?

What was he furious about?

Was it because of how Hadley had kidnapped her previously or was it because of the medicine that was given to her by the doctor?

Then, she suddenly felt uneasy.

"Nathan, are you..."

"Shh..."

Then, Nathaniel turned his head around and smiled. "I'm driving, so don't talk to me. We'll discuss this when we get there." Mango was stunned by his reaction.

His smile was full of tenderness. Was she wrong? Perhaps he wasn't angry after all?

She truly had no idea.

Then, she stopped talking and waited patiently until they reached their destination.

Once they arrived at the villa, she noticed that everyone there was replaced by Nathaniel's men.

After that, he got out and opened the door for her. Then, he immediately carried her off the car.

"I can walk on my own."

She was a little embarrassed being carried like this in front of everyone. Although her body was still weak, she still insisted on walking by herself. However, Nathaniel whispered, "I like holding you in my arms."

Even though he said this, his movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of jostling her wounds. His warm action had truly touched her heart. Nathaniel carried her off the car, and they entered the villa together.

The villa looked the same as before, but the difference was that all the bodyguards here were replaced by Nathaniel's men.

Hence, she was quite surprised to see Thomas there.

"Thomas? What are you doing here? Where is Rainie?"

Thomas hurriedly said, "She has some errands to run. Don't worry. I've arranged for someone to be with her. She'll be fine." "That's good."

Upon hearing that Rainie was fine, Mango let out a sigh of relief.

She could withstand anything for Nathaniel, but she could not let her best friend get involved.

After that, she was carried into the villa by Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, there were many people squatting in

the yard.

She looked around carefully. Weren't they the original bodyguards stationed at the villa?

"Nathan, what's going on?"

"Nothing. We'll talk about it later. Let's go in first, as it's too cold outside."

Then, he carried her inside and placed her gently on the sofa. After that, he covered her with a blanket.

Mango felt that it was too much, so she couldn't help but say, "I'm not that weak, okay? I can do it by myself."

"You just completed surgery, so of course your body would be weak. I know it's not a good time to bring you here now, but I'm worried about leaving you alone at home. It's better for you to follow me. If you get sick because of my decisions, I will never forgive myself."

Upon hearing his words, she was rendered speechless.

After setting her down, Nathaniel sat down next to her and boiled some hot water for her.

Soon, Thomas brought a person in.

Mango was stunned. Wasn't this Hadley?

Before she could say anything, Thomas kicked Hadley to the ground.

"What's going on?"

She was completely befuddled.

Hadley was Boston's subordinate, and Boston and Nathaniel were friends. Why was Thomas treating him like this?

Nathaniel motioned for her to calm down. Then, he looked at Hadley on the ground and said with a smile, "It's been a while, Hadley." "Mr. Ye, what on earth are you doing?"

At first, Hadley struggled against Thomas. However, he stopped immediately and plastered on a smile when he noticed Nathaniel's presence. Honestly, no one with pure intentions could change their expression that quickly.

Thus, Mango suddenly understood something.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel fiddled with Mango's fingers and continued, "What am I doing? I thought you knew what I was going to do?"

As he spoke, Thomas had already stepped forward. Then, he took out a dagger and thrust it in the direction of Hadley's thigh.

Terrified, he quickly rolled to the side and dodged his attack. Then, he asked with a pale face, "Mr. Ye, I work for Boston. Shouldn't you get his permission before beating me up?" "Oh, so you still remember that you work for

Boston? I thought you've already jumped ship to Nick!"

Mango was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

What did that mean?

Jumped ship to Nick?

Were Hadley and Nick...

Her eyes widened all of a sudden.

However, Nathaniel patted her hand gently and said, "Don't be nervous. Just watch the show."

"But..."

"Listen here babe, leave it to me."

Nathaniel cast a loving gaze at her, and she was immediately mesmerized by his dazzling smile. Somehow, she didn't take notice of the words he said.

Suddenly, Thomas took a step forward and subdued Hadley. Then, he said coldly, "Why don't you tell me the truth? Do you really want me to beat you up?"

"How dare you!"

Hadley tried to struggle, but failed again.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had someone bring over a plate of grapes. He gently plucked them and peeled off the skin before feeding them to Mango. Then, he said in a gentle voice, "Open your mouth." Mango suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

There were a lot of people in the living room. Although they were all Nathaniel's men, wasn't it too embarrassing to be fed by him?

Besides, he was known for his indifference. So, what the hell was going on?

"I'll eat it myself."

Her face immediately flushed red.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel laughed when he saw her blushing.

"What's there to be ashamed of? We're already married anyway. Come on, I'll feed you. Open your mouth."

She couldn't hold it in any longer after noticing the doting look in his eyes.

"Cough cough!"

She cleared her throat awkwardly to cover up her embarrassment, but still opened her mouth obediently.

After she ate the grapes, Nathaniel finally said, "Thomas, just break his legs if he still refuses to give an explanation in three seconds. I'll talk to Boston after this." "Got it, Mr. Ye." After that, Thomas pointed the dagger at Hadley's thigh.

"You know, you'll die if I stab you in the artery here."

Hearing Thomas words, a chill immediately ran down his spine and his face turned extremely pale.

"Mr. Ye, there are laws against this. This is illegal!"

"I always thought that I was the boss of Ocean City. Don't you think so?"

Nathaniel said arrogantly.

Upon hearing that, Hadley was instantly taken aback.

"Three!"

Nathaniel counted down as he peeled the grapes and fed them to Mango. It seemed that Hadley's life was just as unimportant as a fly's life.

Meanwhile, Hadley started to feel afraid.

"Mr. Ye, you can't..."

"Two!"

Nathaniel ignored his useless pleading.

Meanwhile, Hadley already broke out in a cold sweat.

He was trembling in fear, and before Nathaniel counted down to one, he quickly interrupted, "I'll confess everything! Yes! I'm working for Nick."

Hearing this, Mango was extremely displeased.

"You're under Nick now?"

Her eyes narrowed as she spoke.

Then, Nathaniel whispered, "Don't be mad. It's not worthwhile to hurt yourself for a nobody. I asked you to come here for some fun, not to make you angry. I've told you to leave everything to me, alright?"

Mango glanced at him and immediately calmed down.

She was really uneasy after knowing that Hadley was one of Nick's men.

Merle had arranged for Hadley to enter the hospital, while Nick wasn't allowed in.

If Hadley could enter the hospital compound whenever he wanted, then Rita and Wisdom would be in danger. What if Nick really held the children hostage? What would happen then?

However, since Nathaniel had reassured her that he would deal with everything, she believed that he should have handled it by now.

"What about Rita and the others..."

"They're fine. Don't worry."

Mango finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.

Meanwhile, Hadley didn't dare to struggle anymore.

He looked at Nathaniel and pleaded, "Mr. Ye, if I take the initiative to confess, will you let me go?" "Let's see what you have to say."

Nathaniel didn't promise him anything. However, Hadley didn't dare to lie to him upon seeing his licentious attitude.

After all, he was one of Boston's men, and he had worked under Boston for many years. Clearly, he knew Nathaniel's character and his principle of handling things.

The people in the business circles of Ocean City would refer to Nathaniel as an aloof man. However, Hadley also knew that Nathaniel was nicknamed the 'God of Death' before he retired from the military.

He knew that Nathaniel would never showed mercy to his enemies. Despite that, he still foolishly chose to go against him.

Hadley sighed softly. Knowing that he couldn't hide anymore, he finally decided to come clean about the truth on how he worked together with Nick.

When Mango heard his confession, she immediately felt a sense of betrayal as if she was fooled by him.
