The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 948

Mango's body stiffened for only a brief moment. However, Nathaniel could still sense it.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm fine."

A faint smile swept over Mango's face as she released him. He could not fathom what was in her facial expression.

Although he was puzzled, he did not ask any further.

"Are you hungry? Let's go out to eat something."

He wanted to step forward and hug Mango, but she darted away.

"I'm not really hungry. I'm just sleepy and want to sleep now."

After that, she walked towards their bedroom.

Nathaniel was perplexed by her actions.

"What's wrong?"

"Nah... I'm just sleepy."

Mango did not say anything else. She trusted Nathaniel, but the perfume on his shirt made her feel uncomfortable, and she did not like it.

Nathaniel realized that Mango was upset, but he did not know what was going on. He could only follow her into the bedroom. At this time, Mango had already taken off her clothes and had laid down on the bed In fact, she had turned her back to him.

He frowned and went to the bathroom without saying anything.

While taking a bath, he saw a lipstick stain on the collar of his shirt. He furrowed his brows again.

He could not help but think of Mango's attitude just now.

Was she upset because of this?

Nathaniel thought about it carefully. Perhaps, the woman in the club had left this lipstick stain on his shirt!

He stared at it with brooding eyes.

When he came out of the bathroom, Mango was still lying in the same posture. He took out his phone and called the manager of the club.

"Pass me the contact details of the woman who was selling liquor in Room 3087. She stained my shirt, and I want her to indemnify me. What's more, my wife was unhappy about this, so I need to take legal actions against her."

Then, Nathaniel hung up the phone and saw Mango's blanket moving a little.

He walked over beside Mango. The smell of the shower gel had diluted the strong scent of perfume, and he smelt fresh.

Mango subconsciously shrank away from him. However, he forced his lips against her mouth.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were uneasy? She was just a salesgirl who wanted to kiss me, and I ignored her. But I didn't expect her to leave the stain on my shirt. Don't think too much." His voice was extremely gentle.

"Okay, I got it."

Mango's voice was muffled as she did not want to talk to Nathaniel.

She couldn't help but think of a clip that she had watched not long ago. It was said that when a woman was pregnant, her husband was prone to cheat. Would Nathaniel do that too?

Mango had refused to sleep with Nathaniel a lot of times, so she was worried that he was tired of her.

Nathaniel noticed that she was still upset, so he sighed, "Trust me, I won't cheat on you, alright?" "Yes, I know. Let's goto sleep. I'm really tired."

After saying that, she seemed to have really fallen asleep. Her snores made Nathaniel speechless.

She had fallen asleep, but Nathaniel was tossing around.

He looked at Mango, who was sleeping soundly, then he habitually pulled the quilt to cover her body. He got up to turn up the temperature before grabbing his cigarettes and headed outside.

Mango actually did not fall asleep. She saw that Nathaniel seemed to have something on his mind. Also, she remembered his explanation on the perfume scent that lingered on his shirt. Doubts rose in her head. How could this be a coincidence?

She knew clearly what kind of person Nathaniel was. He had a cold personality, and everyone would flee as far as they could whenever they met him. Would such a man allow a salesgirl to come near him? Mango thought it was funny.

Once a man started to lie, did this mean that he was about to cheat?

Mango had never thought that such an issue would happen to her and Nathaniel.

The two of them had been through thick and thin, but they could not escape from the tragedy of marriage. To cheat was a man's nature, wasn't it?

When Mango thought about this possibility, she felt emotionally suffocated.

Nathaniel was smoking outside, and he went through one cigarette after another. Looking at him, she felt awful for thinking too much.

She tried to empty her thoughts. However, that was harder.

Nathaniel stayed outside for more than an hour. He had a pungent smell of cigar when he came back.

He did not go near Mango. He only glanced at her from afar and realized that Mango seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Then, he quietly went to the bathroom and took a shower. Mango narrowed her eyes and looked at his silhouette. She felt dreadful.

Suddenly, Nathaniel's phone lit up.

Mango looked up, and it seemed to be an address of a hotel.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Did that woman send this text?

Mango did not dare to move as she was afraid that Nathaniel would discover that she was still awake.

It did not take long for Nathaniel to come out from the bathroom.

He looked at his phone and frowned. He then stared at Mango. She seemed to be sleeping soundly, but Nathaniel still called out her name exploratory. "Mango?"

She was still sleeping.

Nathaniel waited for a while. He then turned around and changed his clothes before going out.

As soon as the door closed, Mango opened her eyes, and drops started to well up from the corner of her eyes.

Was she right?

She wanted to follow him and take a look, but her ego told her not to. Besides, Nathaniel was always alert. Once she followed him, he would definitely find out. Mango did not know what to do.

Should she divorce him?

She could not bear to do this!

But if Nathaniel really cheated on her, could she tolerate all these? Could she really continue to be his wife as if nothing had happened?

It was like sharing him with the other ladies in his harem. That sounded disgusting!

The answer was obvious.

Mango tossed and turned, and her heart felt as if it had been torn apart again.

Nathaniel did not come back until dawn.

Mango quickly closed her eyes when she heard the creak of the door.

Nathaniel walked over and looked at Mango. He noticed that her breathing was even, and there was nothing different about her. He then went to the bathroom to clean himself up. Mango felt that the spot beside her caved in a little. Although the scent of perfume was not that strong as last night, she still managed to smell it.

Did he really go out on a date with that woman?

Mango's heart ached.

However, now that Nathaniel had returned, her nerves relaxed. Finally, she fell asleep unknowingly.

When Nathaniel woke up, Mango was still sleeping.

He thought that she had become more relaxed after Denver's surgery. Moreover, she was pregnant, which was why she was so tired.

Nathaniel did not wake her up. Instead, he ordered breakfast for her and instructed the hotel waiters to serve her when she woke up. After that, he went out.

It was almost noon when Mango woke up.

She felt forlorn when she looked at the empty space beside her.

Did he go out again?

She laughed bitterly before getting up.

Soon after, the waiters brought breakfast to her room, and they told her that it was Nathaniel who had ordered the meal.

She would have felt happy in the past, but now she felt agonized over his actions.

"Thank you."

After receiving the breakfast, she turned around and threw everything into a trash can.

While Rainie came looking for Mango, she happened to see this scene.

"What? Are you having morning sickness?"

"No, I'm not."

Mango was down, and she did not want to talk.

Seeing her like this, Rainie could not help but ask, "Are you sick? Where's Nathaniel? Isn't he accompanying you?"

"Hah... I think he's accompanying someone else."

Mango's grievance shocked Rainie.

"Mango, why do you look like a resentful wife now? What happened?"

"I'm fine. Is Denver alright?"

Mango tried her best to pull herself together as she gave a faint smile to Rainie. However, that was a fake smile.

"Denver is fine, but I think you are not. What happened?"

Under Rainie's questioning, Mango stuttered, "I... I suspect that Nathaniel is having an affair."

"What? Are you kidding me?"

Rainie felt that Mango was spouting nonsense.

She had witnessed Nathaniel's feelings for Mango. Nathaniel would be the last husband in the world that would cheat! However, now that she saw Mango's distressed expression, Rainie could not help but let out a sigh and said, "Could it be a misunderstanding? Why are you so sure that Nathaniel is cheating?"

"I guessed it."

She shook her head and continued, "You don't have to worry about me. Even if I'm upset, I won't give up on myself. I'll investigate it later. If he really cheated on me, I'll propose a divorce. Hah! I will never share my husband with another woman!"

"What happens to your baby if you're divorced? Are you planning to raise the kids alone just like what Zion and Rita are doing?"

Rainie raised the most realistic question.

Mango

caressed her belly in anguish and said adamantly, "No, I will abort this child."

"Mango, do you need me to help you find out the truth?"

"No, I can solve my own problem. I just... can't accept this fact right now. Well, it should be alright. Let's stop talking about me. Since Denver's operation is successful and you're here, why don't we go to see the great music composer after lunch?"

Mango changed the topic and went straight to work.

Seeing that she did not want to discuss this any further, Rainie nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and pack up. We can have lunch together and then make an appointment with him. If I really have the potential, I might really take this shortcut. Don't leave me alone when that time comes, alright?"

"What are you talking about? How can I ditch you? But I should make a decision soon about the film and television company soon."

Mango hesitated for a moment before calling Desmond to check how much her funds she held personally.

Although Desmond did not know why Mango asked, he still went to investigate and then reported it to Mango.

"Mrs. Ye, do you mean properties under your

All

name or.../

"My private properties under my name, excluding the Ye family's."

Hearing Mango's words, Desmond whispered, "It' s...it's less than two million."

"Got it."

Mango hung up the phone and started to worry.

She had less than two million! It was definitely not sufficient for her to register a film and television company.

What could she do?

For now, she did not want to spend Nathaniel's money at all.
