The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 928

Nathaniel was afraid he would disturb Mango's sleep, so he quickly got up and walked out.

He saw Newell and Sisi coming out as well as soon as he went downstairs. It seemed that they were going out to see who was there.

Nathaniel said, "Go and take a rest. I will go out and have a look."

"Nathaniel, let me go out instead."

"It's alright. I think it's Thomas."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Sisi pulled Newell away.

Thomas was Nathaniel's assistant. There should be no problem since they were close.

When Nathaniel saw them go back, he got up and went out.

It was indeed Thomas, but he was not in a good state.

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel rarely saw Thomas like this. He didn't look this haggard, even when Rainie wanted to break up with him.

Thomas pulled his tie, as it seemed like it was

choking him.

"Nothing, I was just a little bored. I thought of coming to your place for some drinks."

His eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest recently.

Nathaniel frowned slightly and said, "You've never drunk previously."

"I just suddenly felt like drinking a little bit. I don't have many friends, so I thought of you. If you are busy, forget it. I will go to the bar myself." "Come to the cellar with me. My wine is much better than the wine in the bar."

Nathaniel patted Thomas on the shoulder.

Thomas nodded.

The two of them went to the wine cellar. Nathaniel told the servant his whereabouts in case Mango got up and couldn't find him. When Thomas arrived at the wine cellar, he picked up the wine and drank it without hesitation.

Nathaniel didn't worry about the costs and allowed Thomas to do whatever he wanted.

Thomas was not a man who would put himself in such a state. In fact, for so many years, Thomas had been strict with himself. He had always accomplished his duties and never overstepped any boundaries. Even if Nathaniel said that they were brothers, Thomas still couldn't cross the line. In Thomas's heart, Nathaniel was his saviour and boss. Although they were friends, he was still scared to overstep.

However, he was acting like a little boy who had just been provoked right now. He had forgotten that Thomas could act like that as he never thought that the latter would end up in such a state. However, right now, something probably happened, and Thomas couldn't deal with it now.

Over the years, Thomas had developed well under Nathaniel's support. Even if he left the Ye family, he was still someone many people in the upper class looked up to. Now, it was likely that he was in such a state because of Rainie.

But since Thomas didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask and waited until the former would tell him on his own.

Nathaniel only took a bottle of red wine and sipped it. He didn't drink much, but Thomas had drunk the whole bottle.

He would be drunk in a while if he kept drinking like this.

Nathaniel picked up his phone and asked someone to prepare the guest room for him.

As expected, Thomas was drunk half an hour later.

His taste in wine was great. After getting drunk, he fell asleep there. Except for his red face and the smell of alcohol, no one could tell that he was drunk.

Nathaniel carried him into the guest room and asked someone to take care of him before returning to the bedroom.

Mango had already woken up and was changing the designs of drawings on her computer. She saw Nathaniel entering the room and smelled alcohol. "Did you drink too?"

"Yeah, I drank some."

Nathaniel knew Mango's current situation and said with a faint smile, "I'm going to take a shower."

"All right."

Mango felt that this pregnancy was a little troublesome because there were many smells that she was sensitive to.

When Nathaniel went to take a shower, Mango's mind was a little empty.

Thomas came to Nathaniel for a drink. This was expected, and Mango could hardly believe that this had happened.

What on earth happened?

Did Rainie have something to do with this?

She wanted to call Rainie but gave up at the end.

Everyone had their own life and privacy. She wouldn't ask if Rainie didn't want to tell her about it. She believed that if Rainie could solve it, she would definitely solve it herself.

Mango's heart was filled with worry, and she had an anxious gaze.

When Nathaniel saw Mango like this, he couldn't help but hug her from behind.

"Are you worried about Rainie?"

"Yes, aren't you worried about Thomas?"

Mango didn't deny it. She leaned against the warm chest behind her.

Nathaniel got on the bed and took her into his arms while whispering, "They are both adults. No matter what happens, they can solve it on their own. Thomas is not an impulsive person. Even if he hurt himself, he would not hurt Rainie. Don't worry."

"I know, so I didn't ask or intervene. However, I think it's strange. Didn't Uncle Blu come back? So, I don't think there shouldn't be any problems between Rainie and Thomas."

"Yes, but Rainie's father is not in a good state."

Nathaniel had originally wanted to hide it from Mango, but it was now the time. He didn't want

Mango to worry about him.

"What do you mean?"

Mango had always wanted to take some time to visit the Blu family, but she did not expect Nathaniel to tell her stuff like this.

Nathaniel sighed and said, "After Uncle Blu was taken away, he wanted to escape, but he was beaten up instead. The attack injured his brain."

Mango's eyes suddenly widened.

"What! Did it affect any of his senses?"

"It did."

Nathaniel hesitated for a moment. When he felt Mango's hand tighten around his arm, he knew that she was worried and anxious.

He sighed and said, "When I brought Uncle Blu back, he became a little foolish and kept calling Auntie Blu and Rainie's names. His thoughts weren't clear." Mango's heart suddenly tightened.

"Huh? His thoughts weren't clear? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Mango was a little annoyed.

Nathaniel held her tightly in his arms and said softly, "I'm not sure either. The situation was chaotic at that time. I was anxious about you, so I didn't have time to deal with the matters of the Blu family. You have to know that although Rainie is important to you, you are more important to me. At that time, Kolton kidnapped you and your mother, and I didn't even know where your location was. I really didn't have extra energy to deal with the issues happening in the Blu family. Besides, isn't there still Thomas? I always thought that Thomas could handle things well, so I didn't ask him. But now, looking at Thomas' state, there is something wrong with the things of the Blu family. Don't worry about it. It's late now. I'll go and see what's going on tomorrow. I'll help them if I can."

Mango knew that it would be tough for Nathaniel to help them.

She whispered, "I'll go. There are some things that Rainie won't tell you. It's also my fault. I've been trapped by Kolton these past few days, so I didn't have time to go and see Rainie."

"You have worked hard enough. Tomorrow, Grandpa wants to set up a burial mound for mom. There will be a funeral. It'll be a little impolite if you don't attend it."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango's heart ached once more.

"I will go to Blu family early in the morning to check it out. Then, I can come back at noon."

"I'll go with you."

"No, you have a lot of things to do. Let Desmond stay with me."

"Desmond doesn't seem to have time. He went to the hospital."

Mango was stunned when he heard Nathaniel's words.

"Is he hurt?"

"No. It's something about that nurse of yours. He went over to deal with it."

Upon hearing this, Mango paused for a moment, but she immediately understood.

"What is going on between her and Desmond?"

"Don't worry about that. Aren't you tired of worrying about everyone? Go to sleep now. I will send you there tomorrow morning and get Ned to accompany you. Ned is good at martial arts, so I can relax a little bit. I will go to the police station tomorrow morning."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango paused for a moment before asking, "Are you going to see Kolton?"

"There's something that I'm not clear about, so I wanted to ask."

Mango nodded.

Nathaniel looked at Mango's design draft and smiled, "After all these things, you still insist on participating in the design competition, don't you?"

"Of course, this is my dream! No matter what difficulties I have, I will make my dream come true."

"Naha! I like your straightforward personality."

Nathaniel touched Mango's head lightly and smiled softly.

Mango fell into his embrace and said in a low voice, "Everyone has to have a dream in their life. We shouldn't give up no matter how hard or tiring life is. Otherwise, what's the difference between a living humar being and zombie?"

"You can live an idle life while being Mrs. Ye. The properties of the Ye family are enough for you to enjoy for two lifetimes."

"You belong to the Ye family, not me. I'm still young. Hah! If I only eat and wait for death my whole life, I'll waste the life God gave me."

Mango's words made Nathaniel's lips rise slightly.

"No matter what you do, I will support you. But you must remember that you should focus on your body and don't hurt yourself. This is my only condition."

"All right."

Mango's heart was burning with warmth.

They had gone through too much. Even though they did not say any lovey-dovey words to each other, they could still feel each other's love.

"Go to sleep. You have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"All right."

Mango fell asleep in Nathaniel's arms.

Nathaniel woke up at dawn.

When he saw Mango sleeping soundly, he didn't want to disturb her. He gently pulled out his arm and tucked her in before going to the kitchen.

Laney had just got up, and she saw Nathaniel coming down when she was about to cook.

"Why did you get up so early?"

"To make some food for Mango."

Nathaniel smiled slightly.

Laney was slightly stunned and hurriedly said, "I'll cook it. How can a man like you enter the kitchen?"

Nathaniel smiled and said, "Hah! I enjoy cooking for Mango as she's my beloved woman. Aunty, please don't deprive me of my interest. Besides, you just got here, so you might not be clear about what Mango likes now. Let me do it."

Then, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen.

Seeing Nathaniel's neat and agile movements, Laney was stunned and even shocked.

She never knew that a man would do this for a woman. Now when she thought about her life, she suddenly felt that she had lived in vain.

Nathaniel didn't care about what Laney thought. He carefully prepared Mango's meal before leaving the kitchen.

Laney wanted to say something to him, but Nathaniel's cell phone rang coincidentally.

Seeing the caller ID on the phone, Nathaniel's face changed slightly. Then he quickly walked out of the Ye's Mansion without having the time to wear a coat.
