The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 305

Needless to say, Nathaniel was rather shocked.

"You..."

"Be a good boy and stop fussing about!"

After Mango kissed Nathaniel, she stroked his head and she smiled as she rose to make him something to eat.

Then, the corner of Nathaniel's mouth twitched.

Who did she take him for?

Zion?

Or Rita?

Was she overwhelmed by her maternal instincts?

To think that she treated him as if she were comforting a child!

Thus, Nathaniel still wanted to say something else but Mango had already left.

However, Nathaniel couldn't help but smile as he looked at Mango's retreating figure. The kiss lingered on his forehead, ever so gentle and loving.

Then, he touched his forehead softly as a silly grin spread across his face.

When Thomas entered, he was perplexed when he saw Nathaniel's silly expression. After that, he cleared his throat to let Nathaniel know that he'd arrived.

"Ahem, Mr. Ye."

Nathaniel's expression suddenly shifted.

"Don't you know how to knock? Have you lost your common sense over the last few days?"

Nathaniel was obviously in a foul mood because his subordinate had seen his lovesick expression.

He could show his vulnerability to Mango, but Thomas? No way!

Meanwhile, Thomas felt quite aggrieved because he was being scolded unnecessarily.

"Well, someone called Mrs. Ye's old phone number. You previously asked me to keep her old phone, right? I'm here to tell you about it, that's all."

Thomas quickly explained why he was here.

Nathaniel's expression relaxed when he heard that it was related to Mango.

"What's the matter? Who called her?"

"It's Mrs. Ye's best friend Charlotte."

Thomas wouldn't have told Nathaniel if it was anyone else, but since Mango's best friend was calling, he didn't really know how to deal with it.

Although Mango hadn't been in constant contact with Charlotte, Thomas knew how important she was to Mango.

Then, Nathaniel frowned slightly.

He was rather annoyed as he thought of Charlotte's blatant disapproval of him.

It wasn't easy for Nathaniel to achieve his happy ending with Mango, and they were even flourishing in their relationship. So, if this woman came to screw it up...

As he thought of this, he really wanted to tell Thomas to leave it alone. However, he never expected Mango to come inside the ward.

"Did something happen to Charlotte?"

Mango's question put Thomas in a bit of a dilemma.

Thomas looked at Nathaniel as he didn't know if he should tell her or not.

"What's wrong? Can't you tell me about it?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel with an extremely delicate look.

Right now even if the world blew up, Nathaniel couldn't say no to Mango.

"I was just about to ask. Thomas said that someone placed a call to your old number, and the caller was Charlotte. He was just about to tell me about what had happened when you came in."

"Really?"

It was clear that Mango didn't really believe Nathaniel.

Regrettably, the disagreements between Charlotte and Nathaniel were irreconcilable.

The two of them had been like this since five years ago, and nothing had changed. Hence, Mango was quite annoyed at this.

It seemed like she needed to sit down and talk to Charlotte about this one day.

She didn't want to lose her best friend for the sake of Nathaniel and her family, just like it happened five years ago.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was rather annoyed at the disbelief in Mango's eyes but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he really wasn't planning on letting Thomas tell Mango.

At that moment, Nathaniel answered her questions with his silence.

Thankfully, Thomas was very observant and he understood what Nathaniel meant when he saw this. He stepped forward quickly and said, "Mrs. Ye, I wasn't around to pick up the phone when Miss Blu called, but she was crying very hard when I heard the voice message she left. To be honest, I don't know what happened, just that she's in the cemetery.'¹

"What? What is she doing in the cemetery?"

Mango's heart suddenly became anxious.

Charlotte had been afraid of ghosts ever since she was a child. Furthermore, one of her worst nightmares was the experience of her parents abandoning her at the cemetery.

Thus, Mango was absolutely certain that Charlotte would never go to the cemetery of her own volition!

"Where is she now?"

Mango immediately became nervous.

Nathaniel saw Mango's concern and anxiety for Charlotte and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"Charlotte is an adult and she went to the cemetery in broad daylight, so why are you so worried? Perhaps she's gone there to visit someone."

"Shut up!"

Then, Mango roared at Nathaniel in reply.

Nathaniel was completely stunned.

Mango had become way too bold, hadn't she?

How dare she shout at him?

Even Thomas looked at Mango with admiration in his eyes.

It could be said that Mango was the only one who could yell at Nathaniel like that.

As expected, Mango could be quite domineering when she wanted to be!

Thomas silently complimented Mango, but he didn't let his approval show on his face.

If he did, he would likely be fired.

Meanwhile, Mango's mind was preoccupied with Charlotte, so she forgot to act tactfully around Nathaniel. After she shouted at him, she turned to Thomas and asked, "Give the car keys to me, I need to get there as soon as possible."

"She's not a child, so why can't she just take a cab back by herself? I just don't understand why she would call you."

Nathaniel had no idea about Charlotte's past trauma, so he felt like Charlotte was doing this intentionally to screw with his and Mango's happiness.

Nathaniel had finally managed to get rid of all the nuisances in their lives just so he could enjoy Mango's love and care, but Charlotte appeared once again to throw a wrench into his plans. Ugh, that was frustrating as all hell.

Then, Mango glared at Nathaniel and she said, "I'll explain everything later. I have to go, so please make something for Rita to eat after she wakes up. Your food is on the way.¹'

"Mango Shen, I am a patient! You're asking a patient to serve another patient! Aren't you ashamed that you're abandoning your husband and child for some random girl?"

Nathaniel's words were quite harsh indeed.

Alas, he couldn't help it because he disliked Charlotte that much!

That annoying woman would always show up whenever he and Mango wanted some private time, and she would screw everything up. Hence, it was no wonder that Nathaniel had a horrible impression of her!

However, Mango ignored his complaints as she picked up her phone and bag. After that, she said to Thomas, "Are you driving me there, or do I have to drive myself?"

She looked straight at Thomas, who avoided her gaze.

He was just an employee, okay?

Why was Mango making things so difficult for him?

Then, Thomas looked hesitantly at Nathaniel. He was Nathaniel's assistant, so he needed Nathaniel's permission to do things!

When Mango saw Thomas's expression, she immediately snatched the keys from his hands and she walked out of the door without another word.

"Mrs. Ye..."

Thomas became rather torn.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was livid!

Once again, Charlotte Blu had thwarted his plans!

"Charlotte Blu, you sneaky b*tch!" He thought bitterly.

Nathaniel looked at Thomas angrily who was still standing there and he shouted.

"Why are you still here? Follow her! Are you really going to let her go to the cemetery alone? That's the f*cking cemetery! Do you think it's safe for a woman to go there alone?"

Truthfully, Thomas felt quite aggrieved when Nathaniel yelled at him.

What did he do to deserve this?

Nevertheless, Thomas didn't dare to say anything back and he quickly ran out the door behind Mango.

"Mrs. Ye, give me the keys. It's a tough drive to get to the cemetery, so let me drive you instead."

Then, Mango gave him an indifferent look and said, "So you're willing to drive me now? Did your master finally allow you to do so?"

Thomas felt extremely helpless at the accusation.

"Mrs. Ye, I'm just an employee."

"Yes, you only work for Nathaniel and whatever I say is meaningless. I get it."

Thomas felt even more helpless at her words.

"Mrs. Ye, Mr. Ye is the one who pays me, so..."

"All right, stop looking so pitiful. When did Nathaniel ever treat you like any regular employee? Hurry up, let's go."

Mango decided not to tease Thomas anymore and she gave the keys to him.

Meanwhile, Thomas's expression looked like he'd just obtained the presidential pardon. He smiled and said, "All right, please board the car. I'll be your humble servant today."

Mango shook her head and the corners of her mouth quirked upwards.

Soon, the car arrived at the cemetery. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

The cemetery was quite empty as no one had come to place offerings yet, and the weather was quite gloomy today. Mango felt a cool breeze as she arrived, and she felt rather cold and out of place.

She quickly placed a call to Charlotte, but the call didn't go through.

Mango's chest suddenly constricted.

"Where is she? Didn't you say she called me earlier? Why can't I reach her now?"

Hence, Thomas felt like he was very down on his luck today.

Why was Mango questioning him when the call didn't go through?

This didn't seem to be part of the contract when he signed up to be an assistant.

However, Thomas quickly replied, "Mrs. Ye, no one picked up when I called back earlier. So, I don't know why the call isn't connecting right now. Could it be that her phone had run out of battery?"

"I really hope that it's because her phone died, but what if something else happened to her?"

Then, Mango's expression turned grim.

She looked around and muttered, "You search over there, and I'll search over here. We'll meet at that building in the middle."

Mango pointed at the columbarium not too far away.

On the other hand, Thomas was rather worried.

"Mrs. Ye, how about I go and search for Charlotte while you wait there?"

"I'm worried about Charlotte. She was abandoned by her parents here, so the cemetery is a traumatizing place for her. Thus, I have no idea why she's here, but I can empathize with how afraid and helpless she felt at the time. Right now, I don't know how she's doing because I can't even reach her phone."

Mango's words stunned Thomas for a moment.

"Miss Blu was abandoned here by her parents?"

"That's right."

Then, Mango quickly rushed to one side of the cemetery.

Thomas didn't say anything else after he saw that Mango had made up her mind, and he rushed to the other side of the cemetery.

The two of them searched the entire cemetery, but they did not find Charlotte anywhere. Furthermore, Mango had yelled out Charlotte's name so often that her throat went hoarse, yet she received no response.

Then, Mango started to feel quite uneasy.

Did Charlotte run into something or someone malicious?

As soon as she thought of this, Mango felt extremely forlorn.

She shouldn't have changed her phone number. Even if she did, she should have told Charlotte. Hence, she wouldn't forgive herself if something happened to Charlotte!

Just then, Thomas shouted for Mango in front of the columbarium.

"Mrs. Ye, Miss Blu is here!"

Mango quickly rushed over to her, but she was immediately stunned when she saw Charlotte. After that, a wave of anger swiftly rose within Mango.
