The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1532

As Nathaniel looked at his wife, who seemed to be keen for gossip, he touched her forehead with his finger and said with a smile, "You are so curious about Carlson, Aren't you afraid that I will be jealous?"

"Oh, we are husband and wife for so many years. Why would you be jealous? Besides, I don't like Carlson at all. I'm just interested in his love story."

Mango scratched her head and said with a grin, "Look, Carlson looks so aloof every time I see him. I just can't imagine him to be lovesick. In fact, I've always wanted to ask this question. He is about the same age as you, right? It really makes me curious that he has no lovers or girlfriends."

Upon hearing Mango's words, Nathaniel shook his head and said, "Carlson is only devoted to Tessa, so why will he even be interested in any other woman? Once he loves someone, there will be no place in his heart for another woman."

"Will it remain the same even if Tessa got married and gave birth to a child?"

Mango knew that some people were loyal in love. However, Carlson had a high status, so how could he watch his love get married and have children?

Wasn't it a joke to him?

Nathaniel seemed a little gloomy. He was able to empathize with Carlson since he was also a man.

"It must have been hard for him to see her get married and have children. When Tessa got married, Carlson was drunk for three days. After getting drunk, he wanted to snatch the bride for himself, but unfortunately, we stopped him."

Nathaniel felt a little upset when he thought of Carlson back then.

Carlson was a proud person, but on the day Tessa got married, he got drunk and actually cried. This was the first time he and Harris had seen Carlson crying.

He cried like a helpless child. He even cursed his incompetence and inability to protect the person he loved. He could only watch helplessly as his beloved woman married someone else.

In fact, Carlson did want Tessa to wait for him. Why wouldn't he?

However, he couldn't be so selfish.

He didn't know how long it would take for him to reach his current position. However, a woman's youth only lasted a few years. Even if Tessa said she would wait for him, he wouldn't agree to it.

In order to force Tessa to leave him and pursue her own happiness, he had done something that hurt her heart.

At the thought of the past, Nathaniel sighed softly.

Upon hearing his sigh, Mango knew that there was another story.

"Is there anything that you're not telling me? Spill quickly!"

"Mango, you're shouldn't be so nosy."

Nathaniel looked at his wife, who was eager for more gossips and could not help feeling a little depressed.

Mango smiled and said, "I don't care, okay? Just tell me if there's more story it. If you don't tell me now, I'll still know about it when Carlson is here, don't you agree? It's better if I know the whole story."

In fact, Nathaniel knew that those were her excuses. However, when he saw Mango's burning curiosity, he decided to tell her everything. No matter how close he was to Carlson, the latter's secret would be exposed sooner or later. It was better for Nathaniel to tell Mango now to satisfy her curiosity.

At the thought of this, Nathaniel said calmly, "In order to force Tessa to leave him, Carlson intentionally dated Tessa's cousin, Brenett."

"Sc*mbag."

Even though she knew that Carlson was doing this for Tessa's own good, it wasn't very smart to use another woman to get rid of his beloved woman. Moreover, to Tessa, Carlson was a playboy who had toyed with her.

Mango went silent.

She was also a woman so she could understand Tessa's feelings. However, if she fell in love with an outlandish man like Carlson, she knew she would eventually leave.

It was one thing to love a person, but it was another thing to sacrifice oneself for love. However, it was okay to sacrifice for love provided that one's family wasn't involved. This was not Tessa's case.

If she continued to stay by Carlson's side and declared their relationship, she would have given the Carlson's opponent a great opportunity to attack. This was because she was Carlson's soft spot. Meanwhile, she had no way of protecting herself and her family.

Because of her, it was very likely that the Soo family, a family that had existed for centuries, would perish overnight. If that was the case, Tessa would become the sinner to the downfall of the Soo family.

So it was not impossible that the Soo family knew more than they should. In order to protect their family, they had probably done some of the dirty work themselves.

Mango was racking her brain.

"Nathan, who poisoned Tessa, in your opinion? Could it be the Soo family? You also told me that Tessa was good at fighting at that time, and Carlson was convicted of manslaughter. Tessa was forced to marry Marcelo. Back then, why did she choose Marcelo? One reason was that Marcelo had been persistent in pursuing her. Could it be that the Soo family was pressuring her? Perhaps the Soo family wanted the Li family to be their in-laws?"

Nathaniel paused slightly upon hearing Mango's words. Then he turned around to look at her.

He had always known that Mango was smart, but now, he was proud of her.

"Well, the head of the Soo family is different from Noah. Noah doesn't like the internal conflicts of big families, so he left the Soo family and worked in the military hospital with Genevieve. He had lived a relaxed life. Originally, the head of the Soo family wanted Noah to inherit the position of the head of the family, but Noah rejected his suggestion. Fortunately, Noah's girlfriend, Genevieve, had a father who was a lieutenant general. Even if the current head of the Soo family was unhappy with Noah, he could only turn a blind eye to the latter. But for the other members of the Soo family, this is an opportunity."

Nathaniel rubbed his temples. As the heir of an elite family, he knew better than anyone how terrible the internal conflict between families members was. Since everyone wanted to be the head of the family, they had many dirty means to get them closer to their goal.

Back then, Tessa was in that situation. Maybe the Soo family knew a little about the relationship between Tessa and Carlson. When Carlson was arrested, everyone thought that he was doomed and had no hope of getting the position of the head of the family. As the saying went, it was human nature to add insult to injury. However, no one knew whether the Soo family was working together with Carlson's enemies. However, Nathaniel knew that the shrewd members of the Soo family would definitely try every means possible to stay away from Carlson under that circumstances. It was best if they had nothing to do with each other. Therefore, did Tessa really marry Marcelo out of her own will back then? Or did the Soo family forced her to do so?
