The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 791

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel was really shocked.

Mango caressed her belly with a dreadful look and said, "I'm participating in the first round of the design competition but what if I sleep all day long because of the baby? How am I supposed to join the contest if all I do is sleep? As you know, it's my dream to join the competition yet I'm pregnant now, I... I..."

Mango felt increasingly gloomy and aggrieved as she spoke and she leaned on Nathaniel's shoulder while she started shedding tears again.

Mango seemed to have become emotionally weak after she got pregnant and she had the urge to cry all the time. Mango didn't want to act like this either but she couldn't control her emotions.

Nathaniel smiled when he saw Mango's behavior.

"It's okay as there's still one month left until the design competition and you won't be sleeping for a whole month, will you?"

"What if I really slept for an entire month?"

Mango blinked and her doe eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Nathaniel. He felt so sorry for her as if his heart was shattering into pieces.

"It'll be fine as you can surely win the competition effortlessly considering your skills. Besides, you have already drawn the draft, isn't it? I can help you complete the remaining work if you can't do it."

"No way! I should definitely complete my design on my own and it's not counted if you're helping me."

Nathaniel felt moved deep down as Mango pouted and her expression really resembled Rita's look.

Then, he lowered his head and gave her a big kiss.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Mango's face turned red with embarrassment as she pushed Nathaniel away immediately.

However, Nathaniel smiled very contentedly.

"Should we give up the child then? Anything is fine as long as you're happy and we can't let this unborn child mess with your design competition, isn't it?"

Mango became anxious in an instant upon hearing Nathaniel's words.

"What are you talking about? This is our child! Don't you know how difficult it is to be pregnant with this child? How would you have the heart to ask me to let him go now? You are so

abominable!"

Then, Mango noticed Nathaniel's mischievous smile as soon as she finished speaking and she immediately realized what was going on.

"Nathaniel, you bullied me!"

She punched at Nathaniel in a flash with her small fist.

However, Nathaniel held her hand and put it on his chest as he said softly, "You are actually reluctant to do that deep down, aren't you? You've prioritized and chosen the child over the design contest and it's just that you aren't willing to give up the competition because of the kid, so you wanted to know my opinion, isn't it? In truth, Mango, you have already made up your mind regardless of what I say, am I right?"

Mango bit on her lower lip as she felt terrible that Nathaniel had seen through her in an instant.

"Nathaniel, can't you just comfort and please me now that I'm pregnant?"

Nathaniel saw that Mango seemed slightly upset, so he hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Anyway, I think that the child won't affect your performance for the design competition as I'm sure you can do it."

"Really?" "Of course, my wife is an outstanding woman and a famous car designer! However, things might get difficult for you during the second round, so honey, if you really want to participate in the contest, then the kid..."

"Don't worry as I'll make sure to manage my time properly."

Mango knew what she wanted.

The child was her and Nathaniel's priority but the design competition meant a lot to her as well, so she could only find a balance between the two despite the conflict and she believed that she could do it.

Nathaniel felt heartbroken that Mango had to work so hard, so he said softly, "To be frank, I can still ensure you and the kids a happy life even if you aren't a designer!"

"I know that you are a responsible man and you will surely not let me and the children suffer again, but Nathan, I don't want to be a good-for-nothing princess. More importantly, I don't want to be a fool who smiles idiotically at you without knowing what you're mumbling about when you tell me about the current stock market and financial trend. It may be love at first sight that sparked a relationship but we have to put in efforts to keep it going. I don't want there to be any gaps between us and I really wish to make some accomplishments with you as we walk towards a

brighter future. Also, I want you to love me because I'm your perfect match and not because of my good looks, do you understand what I mean? I may seem melodramatic but this is my pride."

Nathaniel gently caressed Mango's head as he listened to her.

"Alright, I got it and I won't stop you so that you can do whatever you want as long as you don't tire yourself out."

"Thank you, Nathan."

Mango hugged Nathaniel tightly.

She knew that Nathaniel was showing his love for her by tolerating her and it was because of love that he let her do whatever she wanted and however she liked. He was unlike other egoistic men who forbid their wives from going to work just because they were rich.

Also, Mango was really grateful for Nathaniel's open-mindedness and she promised herself deep down to achieve success and give birth to the child safely. She wanted to do this to repay Nathaniel's love and fondness for her.

"Would you like to eat something? Genevieve said that you'll easily get hungry during this period of time, so I'll make you some foods that are easy to digest."

Nathaniel was distressed as Mango slept for such a long time and she hadn't eaten much.

At present, she needed extra nutrients for her baby.

Also, Nathaniel was really worried since Mango wasn't as healthy compared to others.

He wondered if she would be able to bear the discomfort and soreness during the ten months of pregnancy.

At the thought of this, Nathaniel hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mango, don't force yourself if you feel burdened and uncomfortable because of your pregnancy and you must tell me about it as your body is really weak. Honestly, I'm more concerned about your physical health than the baby and you mustn't get ill even if that means we have to give up the child. We already have a son and a daughter if you think about it and our family is wholesome even without the kid, isn't it? So..."

"Nathan, don't worry as there will not be any problem nor accident as I'm aware of my body's condition and I'll take good care of myself. I know what you're worried about but please don’t be trouble as I'm still looking forward to traveling around the world with you in the future. Just calm yourself down as I'll be fine."

Mango was well aware of Nathaniel's concerns.

"It's not even close to lunchtime and you're eating? Didn't you have breakfast?"

Mateo was reviewing the documents in his hand really hastily as an officer was waiting for him.

Mango bit her lower lip and said in embarrassment, "Uncle, I have something to tell you."

"Yeah?"

"I think... I'm pregnant."

"What?"

Mateo stood up all of a sudden and his action startled the officer beside him.

"Mr. Hans, you..."

"Shut up!"

Mateo immediately shut the worker up before asking Mango in a soft voice, "Mango, take it slow, what did you say just now?"

Mango was really embarrassed.

"I'm pregnant."

"Oh my goodness! Does Terrance know about it?"

"I haven't told him yet as the results just came in earlier and only Nathan and I know about it."

Mateo immediately burst into laughter after hearing Mango's words.

"Hahaha! Awesome, that's good news! Hold on as I'll bring you the design draft myself and send it to you later! D*mn, I'm becoming a great- uncle! Haha!"

Mango felt very happy hearing Mateo's bright and loud laughter.

Then, she hung up the phone and she realized that she had not called her parents for a long time as she had been really busy these days and was in the Hans family's house. Strangely, she hadn't heard from her parents either.

Mango felt that what she did was wrong and inconsiderate, so she quickly took her phone and called her parents.

However, no one answered her call even after a long time.

Mango didn't give up and she called her parents again but she was notified that their phone was turned off.

What was going on?

It could be that no one answered her call as no one was home but it was really weird that the phone was switched off.

At that instant, Mango felt really uneasy deep down.
