The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 795

"Nathaniel, where are you going?"

Mango rushed to Nathaniel anxiously but he was already in the car with Zion.

At that moment, Mateo came out of the house as he heard voices and he saw Mango yelling at Nathaniel, so he quickly went forward to stop her.

"What's wrong? What are you doing and where's Nathaniel?"

"I don't know... He took Zion away and I have no idea what happened to him."

Mango was really worried.

"What the hell is going on?"

Mateo helped Mango back into the house.

Then, Mango shook her head and said, "I have no clue either... Zion bought me a jade from the side of the road as a gift for me but Nathan's expression changed the moment he saw it and he demanded Zion to bring him to find the seller of the jade. I have no idea whether the ornament is fake or not but I'll still cherish it even if it's a forgery product as it's my son who got it for me after all."

"I'm afraid it's not a simple issue as Nathaniel is a steady person. He won't look for the seller just because it's a fake product while leaving you behind when you're pregnant. I think the jade must mean something special to him."

Mango paused for a moment after hearing Mateo's words.

"It's something special to him? I haven't heard him mentioning this though."

"Let's ask him when he comes back and don't worry as both Zion and Nathan will be fine. Besides, no one would be able to defeat Nathaniel with his agility, so don't get too troubled."

Mateo tried to comfort Mango.

Nevertheless, Mango still felt upset.

What on earth was going on!

Soon, Wisdom and Rita came home and they were extremely happy to see Mateo at their house.

Wisdom approached Mango's side as he poured a glass of water for her.

"Mommy, you seem to be in a bad mood today...who triggered you?

"I'm not angry and I'm just worried about your daddy... He went to pick up Zion and both of you can have fun with each other later."

Wisdom was overjoyed when he heard from Mango that Zion was coming back.

On the other hand, Rita also heard it as she was just beside them.

"Mommy, is my brother coming back?"

"Yes."

"Wow! That's great!"

Rita jumped up in excitement.

At the same time, Mango felt less worried seeing how thrilled her two kids were as she leaned against the sofa and took a sip of warm water. Her pounding heart was slightly calmed down. Later, it didn't take long before Nathaniel and Zion returned but their expressions seemed gloomy.

Zion was pouting and he said angrily the moment he saw Mango, "Mommy, you'll need to give Mr. Ye a lesson as his action is totally outrageous!"

"What's wrong?"

Mango glanced at Nathaniel but she turned to look at Zion again as she sensed that Nathaniel wasn't intending to explain anything.

Then, Zion said angrily, "Mr. Ye insisted that I take him to look for the seller but he's gone and Mr. Ye took me to find him all over the street. Then, I suggested that we return as we still couldn't find him yet he snatched the jade away from me and he wouldn't give it back no matter what I say! That's ridiculous as it's a gift I bought for you!"

"Alright, I love the gift that you gave me but we'll let daddy keep it for a few days for now, okay? Look, you bought a gift for mommy but you didn't give daddy anything, so it's no wonder he feels jealous, isn't it? Mango comforted Zion.

On then did Zion calmed down and said, "You're pregnant and it's not like Mr. Ye is carrying a child, so why should I give him a present?"

"Your daddy's birthday is just around the corner!"

Zion was stunned after hearing Mango's words.

"Is that so? Does Mr. Ye even celebrate his birthday?"

"Of course, there's less than a month left to his birthday, so why don't you start considering what present to give him?"

"Fine, I'll forgive him this time."

Zion answered big-heartedly.

On the other hand, Wisdom and Rita ran from the backyard to the living room as they heard that Zion had returned.

"Zion!"

"Boss!"

Rita and Wisdom both stood by Zion's side.

"Zion, you're so bad for not calling us all this while!" "Yeah! Where did you go and why haven't you contacted us for such a long time?"

Zion felt somewhat ashamed by Wisdom and Rita's questions.

On the other hand, Mango took a glance at the bedroom as she saw that her three kids were having fun themselves.

Nathaniel entered the bedroom after he came back and he stayed inside until now. Mango could tell that he must be really sad although she had no idea what the jade meant to him.

"My dears, enjoy yourselves here as I'll go upstairs for a moment, alright?"

However, Wisdom asked anxiously just as Mango finished speaking, "Mommy, are you sick?"

Zion smiled and said, "Mommy isn't sick but she's pregnant and we're going to have a younger sibling soon!"

Rita was stunned at that instant.

"Zion, is that true?"

"Of course, Rita! And that's why you can't make mommy angry anymore, okay?"

Zion spoke like a young adult.

Then, Rita looked at Mango's stomach and she quickly went forward to touch it.

"Mommy, where is my younger sibling? Why can't I see it?"

"Dummy, of course we couldn't see it as the baby is still in mommy's belly and we'll have to wait for a few months before we can see it."

Zion's words made Mango feel very awkward as Nathaniel was supposed to be the one explaining this yet Zion was telling this to his siblings now.

Nevertheless, Rita had no idea that Mango felt awkward as she caressed Mango's stomach all over out of curiosity.

"It's so miraculous!"

Similarly, Wisdom felt curious too.

"Mommy, can I feel the baby?"

"Of course!"

Mango grabbed Wisdom's hand and placed it on her small belly.

"Wisdom, do you prefer a younger sister or brother?"

"I like both."

Wisdom smiled embarrassedly but it was obvious from his expression that he was very happy about it.

Mango was afraid that her kids would not be able to accept the unborn baby initially and it was out of her expectation that they were so excited and fond of it. Mango let out a sigh of relief at the sight of this. "Alright, you guys enjoy yourselves here while I go back to the bedroom for a moment, okay?"

"Okay!"

The three children said in unison.

Mango felt extremely happy.

She patted her kids' heads before she got up and walked to the bedroom.

The moment she entered the room, she saw Nathaniel sitting on the bed while holding the jade that Zion bought with a gloomy expression.

Mango closed the door gently before sitting down next to Nathaniel.

"What's the matter? Does this jade mean something special to you?"

Mango placed her hand on Nathaniel's palm.

Only then did Nathaniel seem to have realized that someone had entered the bedroom as he looked at Mango before staring at the jade again. Then, he took out a box from a drawer and an exact same jade came into sight the moment he opened it.

At that moment, Mango was stunned.

"This is..."

"My dad gave this to me when I was born and he bought a pair as we are twins. This one is mine while the one that I'm holding belongs to Nick and you can see his name carved on it too."

Nathaniel pointed at the back corner of the jade as he showed it to Mango.

Only then did Mango see clearly that the jade was tailor-made with Nick's name engraved on it.

"What happened? Why would Nick's jade be in someone else's hand?"

"I don't know and I'm really confused too as I didn't see this jade when Nick passed away. I thought that he had lost it or it was buried in the tomb with him. However, I really didn't expect this jade to reappear in the hands of a street vendor and Zion even bought it home... Do you think that it's fated or someone deliberately planned this?"

However, Mango couldn't answer Nathaniel's question.

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence."

"That could be the case but I'm convinced that this is not merely a coincidence."

Nathaniel put the two jades together and it formed a complete circle.

They were originally a pair but Nathaniel didn't feel happy at all when it had returned to his hands as he felt incredibly worried and uneasy instead.

"I will stay by your side 24/7 from today on."

Mango felt that Nathaniel was being over-worried after hearing what he said but she nevertheless nodded her head just so that Nathaniel could be at ease.

"Alright, but don't think too much about it as it could really be just a coincidence and it doesn't matter even if it isn't. We can deal with each problem as it arises and we'll surely be able to overcome all difficulties as long as we're together. Believe me, no one would succeed in tricking or scheming against us."

Nathaniel nodded his head as he saw Mango's calm and composed expression.

He grasped Mango's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "There's something I need to discuss with you."

"Go ahead."

Nathaniel hesitated for a moment before he continued with a soft voice, "The military instructors applauded Zion and Mateo would like him to be raised in the army base and train as a soldier in the military school, where he'll undergo closed training and learning sessions... What do you think about it?"

Zion had told Mango about this matter and she would surely agree to it.

"I'll always support my kids' dreams and Zion had told me that he would like to stay in the military base, so I didn't stop him since he'll need to be independent in the future and live his own life anyway... Perhaps he's born to be a soldier."

"Yea, that's what I think too...but on my way back, I thought a lot about and I want to send Wisdom and Rita into the military base too."

Nathaniel's words stunned Mango.

Nevertheless, Mango understood his reasons in an instant.

Their kids were still young and Mango wouldn't be able to defend them if someone really wanted to attack them considering her current state. Therefore, Mango was not able to guarantee their safety at all at this moment.

At times, Mango felt really exhausted as she seemed to be surrounded by danger and difficulties all the time. She even thought that she might not have experienced so many troubles or worries if she hadn't married Nathaniel back then.

However, she shook the idea off immediately the moment it sprang to her mind.

There was no such thing as "ifs" and she would still make the same decision without any hesitation even if she had a second chance to pick her life choice again.

Their relationship first started because they were attracted to each other. However, they would need to support one another for life because of their love.

Mango thought through it and she suddenly smiled as she looked at Nathaniel who seemed guilty and sad.

Then, she held Nathaniel's hand tightly and said, "Let's do as you said as our children's safety is our top priority and I have no objection."

"Thank you, Mango, thank you so much!"

Nathaniel hugged Mango as he didn't know how to express his happiness but it was right at this moment that his phone rang.
