The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 23

15 minutes later. Thomas came to Nathan. With a thick folder and a brief report, as the boss used to demand.

"...so Katherine had a car accident five years ago. It is said to be very serious. Her family took her somewhere for treatment and came back more than a year later."

"Five years ago?"

Nathan couldn't miss this message. He reviewed the report.

On the other side, Thomas nodded in disbelieve. It could no be a coincidence.

"Five years ago, when?"

"March 18th."

Even the Thomas was merely repeating what was printed on the paper, Nathan still couldn't believe it.

"March 18th? Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. You know the Americans, they keep health records honestly."

Thomas was a little surprised by Nathan's behavior. Nathan had used to be calm.

Nathan suddenly burst into laughter, which creeped out Thomas. But soon, Thomas found out true happiness mixed with bitterness in this weird laughter.

"Sir, are you alright?" Thomas leaned forward, concerned.

"Never better. Now step back. Don't come close, you idiot!" Nathan angrily rolled his eyes while halting Thomas from invading his comfort zone. "...I need you back to the investigation. She left the US, to which country? With whose companion? Which doctor treated her? I need details."

Nathan's words hurt Thomas's feelings, but he quickly remembered it.

"Yes, Sir."

Thomas took three steps backward with respect, then turned around dramatically and ran off.

Nathan, who could no longer hold back his anxiety, quickly jumped up and put on his couple- thousand-dollar-worth causal wear.

He had to find Mango, even if she might refuse to admit it, he still wanted to see her. For nothing else, just for the slightest familiarity from her eyes, for the possibility and hope. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

March 18th.

The day his wife died in that fire.

So many coincidences that didn't add up. The answer to the only possibility was hidden under the stranger's new look of Katherine's.

If five years ago, Mango took Katherine's identity, she could come to Ocean City as a new person.

That explained everything.

He quickly went downstairs and saw Macy and Wise having lunch.

"Dad, are you going out?" Wise was very happy to see Nathan come down. He jumped off the table and rushed over.

"Wise, be careful with the rice on your hands. Don't touch your dad's clothes."

Macy tried to stop Wise out of the Ye's habits and formality. But it was still a little late. Wisdom Ye had already thrown himself into Nathan's arms.

Looking at the little boy in his arms, a little warmth finally shined in Nathan's indifferent eyes.

He touched Wise's forehead and smiled, "what up little fella. Dad has something to deal with. And what is your plan to wake up early on a weekend?"

"I going on a tour of your office, with a new friend from class. Can you give us a ride?"

Wisdom Ye held Nathan's thigh and raised his face. His big watery eyes blinked with a hint of pleading.

Nathan looked at the boy's face, yet suddenly remembered another face.

A brat with a pair of eyes that looked exactly the same as his!

The boy who looked innocent, yet turned out pissed him on the face, literally. And the aftermath became worse, since someone videotaped the scene and leaked it over the internet, and scandalized the Ye family in Ocean City. If it wasn't Ye family's power and influence, people would still be laughing about this video.

Why did he think of that brat?

Nathan frowned slightly. Years of practice made his true emotion hard to be noticed, after all, he was the most powerful man in Ocean City. But he couldn't hide it from Macy Cho, who had been carefully observing Nathan for years.

Five years ago, she gave birth to Wisdom. Although Nathan kept the fact

Originally, he thought that Nathan would satisfy Wise's requirements, but she didn't expect that the boy would make such a request today, which immediately made Nathan upset.

She stepped forward quickly, picked up Wise, and rebuked him, "Why are you so careless? There are confidential files in your father's office is. can's just let strangers walk in."

Macy's attitude made Wise Ye almost cried.

Nathan stopped Macy and looked at Wise with love, "It's okay. Wise is the heir to Infiniverse Group, he can do anything he wants, including inviting his friends to a tour. And you, don't you dare speak to my son like that."

After that, Nathan eyed Macy, rubbed Wise's forehead, "Hurry up and eat. Dad will drive you there after dinner. Where is your friend waiting? I'll pick him up with you, okay?"

"Yeah, Dad. You are the best!"

Wisdom burst into laughter and left a kiss on Nathan's face. However, Nathan did not look angry at all. Instead, his gentle look made Macy jealous.

She would die if Nathan could look at her like this.

"Nathan, can I go with you two? Wise is still young and someone has to take care of him."

Macy said hurriedly, even with joy.
