The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 218

Then, Mango quickly stood in front of Wisdom and Rita.

However, Rita was sound asleep and she did not feel much, but Wisdom was more alert. When Mango came over, he immediately opened his eyes.

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

"Shh—"

Then, Mango stopped Wisdom from talking. Next, she asked him to get dressed quickly, and then she took Rita to an inner room.

Clearly, Wisdom noticed Mango's nervousness. At the same time, the rustling sound outside also made him nervous.

"Is that bad guys?"

"Maybe!"

Thus, Mango spoke softly as she quickly picked Rita up along with her quilt. Then, she hurriedly carried her further into the room.

However, Wisdom just rolled his eyes before he suddenly ran to the bathroom. Then, he collected cold water in a basin and he brought it out.

"What are you doing?"

Mango had just come out when she saw Wisdom struggling as he brought out a basin of water. Hence, she hurriedly went up to help him. Then, Wisdom pointed at the basin and then he pointed at the door. With that, Mango immediately understood what he wanted to do.

"You mean you want to put this basin of water on the door?"

Next, Wisdom quickly nodded.

"The night air is colder."

This sentence made Mango understand that Wisdom was also a practical joker.

Then, she quietly walked over and she stepped up onto a stool to place the basin on top on the door. Next, she and Wisdom both retreated quietly into the room. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

After that, Wisdom asked in a low voice, "Mommy, what should we do if that person comes in?"

"Grab whatever things that we have and if he dares to come in, we'll beat the living daylights out of him until he runs away."

Other than this stupid idea, Mango did not know what else she could do.

Now, she really hoped she could contact Nathaniel or Thomas. Unfortunately, she had disassembled her phone and it was left in her own room.

Now that danger approached, she did not have the ability to protect the children. Right now, Mango really felt useless.

"You two stay inside and don't come out, do you understand?"

Mango decided to wait outside. No matter what, she could not let anything happen to the children. Naturally, Wisdom did not agree. Mango said in a low voice, "You have to think. Rita is sick and nothing can happen to her. Wisdom, this is a huge responsibility and you have to protect Rita. Didn't you promise Zion that you would take care of her properly?"

"But I've promised him that I'll take good care of you too."

Wisdom was a little conflicted.

Nevertheless, Mango touched his head and she said with a smile, "It's okay. Mommy's an adult and nothing will happen to me. As long as you protect Rita, mommy will be fine."

"But..."

"Okay, they're going to come in. Stop talking."

Mango's ears were sensitive.

Next, she quickly ushered Wisdom inside the room and she gripped an ashtray in her hand. She held it behind her back in case she needed it.

The sound of footsteps got ever closer and even the door lock started to twist.

Mango's heart was in her throat. She held the ashtray tightly and she held her breath as cold sweat oozed out of her forehead.

Then, the doorknob slowly turned.

Suddenly, the door was opened from the outside.

"Splash!" There was a clatter and a bucket of cold water was poured directly on the person who came.

Mango did not bother to observe clearly who the person was. When she saw the basin of water pour on the person, she quickly lifted the ashtray in her hand and she threw it at the other party's head.

"I'll kill you, b*stard!"

Truly, she was quick and accurate!

Then, the man yelled in shock and he was about to dodge when Mango slipped. As they saw her about to fall, the man hurriedly rushed to hold her steady.

At this time, Mango's ashtray had already reached the person's head.

"Ow-"

The other party groaned in pain, and warm blood suddenly gushed out.

However, Mango did not dare to stop. The next moment, she bent her knees and she lifted her feet immediately to kick at her opponent's lower body. Her posture made it clear that Mango wanted to disable it immediately.

At this moment, the man suddenly grabbed her foot and they shouted in a low voice.

"Mango, it's me!"

The familiar voice stunned Mango.

Next, the man turned on the light in a hurry.

After that, Mango stared, stunned, at the disheveled state of Nathaniel in front of her.

How could it be him?

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was drenched all over his body and he looked extremely pathetic. The most conspicuous spot was the smash wound on his forehead, which was dripping with blood and caused him slightly dizzy.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come back?"

After Mango saw clearly that it was Nathaniel, she was very anxious. Next, she quickly threw the ashtray in her hand aside and she turned to find a first aid kit for Nathaniel.

On the other hand, Nathaniel felt very wronged.

In fact, he never thought that he would be treated so cruelly as he came back in the middle of the night.

"What are all of you doing? Where are the bodyguards at the door?"

Then, Nathaniel looked at the ashtray that Mango threw away which was still stained with his blood. He suddenly felt stabby pain on his forehead at seeing that.

Mango's attack was truly harsh, and she nearly gave him a concussion.

However, Mango had no time to explain to Nathaniel now. Instead, she quickly grabbed the first aid kit and she said nervously, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside. Change your clothes. I'd better bandage your wound so you don't get tetanus."

As Nathaniel saw her anxiety, he did not ask further. Moreover, the cold water that was poured on him was freezing and he shivered involuntarily.

"Who came up with this horrible idea?"

Then, Nathaniel rubbed his nose and he asked in a muffled voice. Meanwhile, Wisdom who was inside became so afraid that he immediately kept quiet. God, if he knew that it was Nathaniel that came back, Wisdom would never dare to plot against Nathaniel no matter how strong was his guts.

Thus, Mango did not dare to say anything either.

Furthermore, she had agreed to do this with Wisdom. If she had known that it was Nathaniel, how could she have agreed?

As he saw that Mango kept silent, Nathaniel decided not to ask anymore. Then, he sighed and went straight to the bathroom to take a hot bath.

Mango quickly ran back to the room and she brought Nathaniel's pajamas. Next, she looked at the injuries on Nathaniel's head which made her feel somewhat guilty and distressed.

"Does it hurt?"

"Yeah, it hurts."

Originally, Nathaniel wanted to say that it did not hurt. However, when he saw Mango's pitiful gaze, he pretended to be coy.

"It's all your fault. Why didn't you tell me that you were coming back? I thought you were a bad guy. Otherwise, why would I attack you?"

Mango spoke gloomily. She pulled Nathaniel to sit on the bed and she gently blew on his forehead.

Nathaniel felt his heart soften.

Her breath was warm and soothing. It caressed his forehead like a soft feather, but then again it seemed to penetrate through his skin and deep into his heart. It itched a little, but he wanted more.

Next, Nathaniel subconsciously held Mango's hand. "Don't move!"

However, Mango was now in a very serious state. After chastising him in a low voice, she quickly found the first aid kit and she retrieved the iodine. Then, she started applying it to Nathaniel.

"Just hold on a little bit. It'll hurt a little."

Mango's voice and movements were gentle. In fact, she was treating Nathaniel like a child at this moment.

As he looked at her anxious and distressed expression, Nathaniel felt warm and touched.

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore."

"How can it not hurt? It's such a large wound. It's my fault for being so harsh."

The more Mango looked at it, the more unforgivable she felt.

"Why did I strike him so hard?" She thought.

Luckily, Nathaniel had grabbed hold of her foot. Otherwise, she would not have known what kind of damage she would have done.

"It's fine. You should be quick and accurate when dealing with bad guys. You did a good job."

Nathaniel began to praise Mango.

Then, Mango said with some embarrassment, "I really didn't know that it's you. At that time, I thought it was a bad person when I heard the rustling sound outside, so..."

"All right, all right, I don't blame you."

Nathaniel spoke gently. At this, Mango could not say anything further, so she quickly dealt with Nathaniel's wound.

Then, Wisdom popped his little head out and he looked at Nathaniel. After that, he asked in a low voice, "Daddy, I did this to protect mommy and sister. Don't blame me, okay?"

"What did you do?"

Next, Nathaniel asked with a faint smile.

Wisdom saw the smile on Nathaniel's face and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he ran out and he said proudly, "I put the basin of water on the door! I thought that since the night's so cold, if the bad guy came in, I'll freeze him! How's that? Am I smart, daddy?"

After he said that, he made a big show of jumping in front of Nathaniel. Clearly, he hoped to get Nathaniel's praise.

However, Nathaniel grabbed hold of his ear and he said, "Little brat, so it turns out to be your idea! Don't you know that the cold water almost froze me solid?"

"Ow, daddy, please spare me! I didn't know it's you!"

"No can do! Not only do you not learn the right things, but you do all these bad things, let me tell you..."

Nathaniel lectured him loudly.

After that, Wisdom became gloomy.

"Mommy, help!"

Wisdom began to ask Mango for help.

Next, Mango turned around and she put down the first aid kit. However, the two of them started to pinch each other, which made her exasperated.

"Nathaniel, what are you doing? Wisdom is still a child. How can you be so violent?"

Mango quickly rescued Wisdom from Nathaniel's hands.

Then, Wisdom rubbed his ear and he said reluctantly, "Daddy, you're so biased. Just now when mommy said that she didn't mean it, you didn't say anything and you even praised her. But when it comes to me, you treat me so differently? Am I even your biological son?"

Nathaniel glanced at him and he said coldly, "Can you compare yourself to mommy?"

"Why not?"

Wisdom argued unconvincingly.

Then, Nathaniel looked at him and he said, "Are you a woman?"

"No!"

"Are you my wife?"

"No, I'm not!"

"Then what right do you have to have me give in to you?"

Nathaniel's words were heart-wrenching.

Wisdom's small face wrinkled and he said with grievance, "But I am your son!"

"My son will grow up to be someone else's in the future. Only my wife will belong to me. If I don't love my wife, who will? You are a man, so it's far better to practice good skills instead of doing things like these that only girls would do."

Regardless of what Wisdom thought of that inside, Nathaniel spoke to Mango after he finished speaking. "Put him down, I wasn't even hitting him. Furthermore, boys need to be roughed up in order to become a man."

Wisdom finally could not bear it anymore and he burst into tears. Naturally, it made Mango's heart ache.

After that, she took a quick glance at Nathaniel and she said, "Go sleep alone tonight."

After that, she went into the inner room with Wisdom in her arms. However, Nathaniel felt as if he was abandoned in a wild wind.

What the hell was that?

He had suffered a huge injury, but he still had to sleep alone in an empty room?
