Chapter 493
Wisdom was a little confused and he couldn''t help but take a step forward.
Zion grabbed him before asking, "Where are you going?"
Only then did Wisdome to his senses.
"Nowhere."
He smiled without telling Zion about Nick, but a suspicion arose in his heart.
If his father had left, would he discover their n? Or would he not be returning tonight?
Wisdom couldn''t figure it out, and he was rather concerned.
Zion and Rita bickered for a while longer before they returned home.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Mango were chatting with Madam Ye, and the entire house seemed more
peaceful.
When the three children came back, Rita threw herself into Nathaniel''s arms.
"Daddy, Zion bullied me!"
The corner of Zion''s mouth twitched in annoyance.
"Mind your words, Rita. Who''s doing the bullying here?"
"You are!"
Rita stuck out her tongue at Zion from Nathaniel''s embrace, and her mischievous look elicited
laughter from everyone.
However, Wisdom asked in a low voice, "Grandma, did my Daddy go out?"
"Yeah, Nick said he has something to deal with at the office, and he is unsure when he''d be back. If
you''re scared of being alone, then go and stay with Zion. You two haven''t spent much time together
recently, so you should catch up."

Madam Ye''s words delighted Zion.
"Wow! Grandma is the best."
"Ha, you brat!"
Madam Ye felt overwhelmed at his praise.
On the other hand, Mango and Nathaniel also startedughing.
Zion never sweet-talked anyone else except Madam Ye.
"Grandma, I''ll be heading upstairs with Wisdom first. Enjoy yourselves!"
As he spoke, Zion grabbed Wisdom''s hand to leave.
Hence, Rita felt a little lonely.
"Zion, I wanna y with you for a while."
Zion was stunned by Rita''s words.
"Go and y in your room."
"No, I want to y with you guys. I want Wisdom to tell me a story as well."
Rita had no idea about Zion and Wisdom''s ns for the night, and she was pestering them.
Zion was still thinking of a way to stop Rita from following him when he heard Mango say, "Just y
with your sister, Zion. She''s feeling a little lonely."
This sentence left Zion no room to refute.
He red at Rita before saying, "Ugh, what a pest."
"Well, it''s not like I wanna be with you. I''m going with Wisdom."
As soon as Rita finished speaking, she took Wisdom''s arm.
Wisdom smiled in reply, as he loved Rita dearly.
"Okay, let''s y together for a while."
Wisdom''s words made Zion a little annoyed.
Did he forget about their n?
However, there was no way for them to get rid of Rita now.
The three of them bickered as they walked up to the bedroom.
Madam Ye watched the children leaving before she said to Nathaniel, "You take Mango up to bed
as well. She''s unwell, so it''s a bad idea for her to stay upte."
These words made Mango''s face burn with embarrassment.
"I''m not that tired. I can still stay and talk to you, mom."
"Why would you want to do that? You haven''t seen your husband for so long, yet you''re still here
with me? After all, I''m not going to interrupt your fun!"
Madam Ye smiled faintly, which caused Mango to blush.
However, Nathaniel shamelessly replied, "Well, it''s not like Mom hasn''t experienced any of this
before, so she knows best."
"Ugh, you little brat! Get out of here!"
Madam Ye couldn''t be bothered with his antics, so she shooed Nathaniel out.
He smiled at Mango before saying, "Mom''s already chasing us upstairs, so aren''t you going to
leave?"
"Shut up!"
Mango felt that Nathaniel was bing increasingly shameless.
She quickly stood up before heading to the second floor.
On the other hand, Nathaniel chuckled as he followed her upstairs.
"What do you think we should do?"
Nathaniel hugged Mango from behind, and she could feel the tension.
"What do you mean? I want to watch TV, I''ve been binging a drama recently."
Mango blurted out before she quickly returned to her room.
However, Nathaniel carried Mango onto the bed and that caused her to shriek piercingly.
"What are you doing? You know you can''t do anything with me."
She was shy, and also a little upset.
There was nothing she could do with Nathaniel with her current state of health.
Nathaniel looked at the sh of sadness in her eyes and he whispered, "We don''t have to do it. Is
that all you can think about?"
"It''s only you! I don''t want to do it at all!"
Mango immediately retorted and Nathaniel''s heart throbbed by her blushing face.
"How about we just have a chat?"
Nathaniel tried his best to suppress his desire as heid down on the bed with Mango.
As he sniffed the fragrance of Mango''s hair, Nathaniel slowly calmed down and he felt a quiet
tranquil.
Mango rested her head on Nathaniel''s arm and she asked in a low voice, "Do you have something
to say?"
"Yeah."
Nathaniel paused for a moment and he said, "Except for Noah, only Thomas and Nick know that
I''ve stored wines at the Celestial Clubhouse. When I first saved Gianna, she became my sommelier
because of Nick as well."
"What do you mean?"
Mango seemed to understand what he was saying, but she was unsure.
Was her assumption correct?
Nathaniel said, "Nick and his friends were having a night out at the Celestial Clubhouse when they
saw Gianna being bullied. At the time, that club was quite a shady ce, and Gianna seemed like
she''d been drugged. When Nick called me, he wanted me to take her to the hospital as he and his
friends could not leave. So, that''s how I saved that girl."
Nathaniel''s eyes were a little wistful when he spoke of the past.
"What happened after that?"
"Nick felt that the Celestial Clubhouse was a bit too shady for his liking, so he asked for some
money to buy the ce."
Mango was surprised when she heard Nathaniel''s words.
"So, Nick owns the Celestial Clubhouse?"
"Yup."
Nathaniel nodded.
"Few people know about it, and I knew about it muchter as well. Nick is only the owner on paper,
as the day- to- day tasks are managed by the club''s manager, and nothing amiss had happened
over the years. After I saved Gianna, she felt safe working at the Celestial Clubhouse while
studying, so she continued her job. Also, I stored some wines there for the asional gathering,
and Gianna became my sommelier."
After she listened to Nathaniel''s exnation, Mango understood everything.
"I get it. So, only the manager and Nick know that Gianna is your sommelier?"
"That''s right!"
Nathaniel nodded.
Mango gazed at him before asking, "Are you telling me this because you''re suspecting Nick? Or am
I wrong?"
"Mom and I have some doubts. Do you still remember Susie?"
"I remember!"
How could Mango have forgotten about Susie?
She just didn''t understand why he would suddenly bring her up.
Nathaniel muttered, "Except for me, mom and Nick are the only ones who know how to unlock
Susie''s prison. But, she managed to escape anyway."
Just then, Mango''s brows creased slightly.
"Are you saying that Nick released Susie? But why? He''s your brother!"
"Yeah, that''s right!"
Nathaniel felt somewhat sad.
"If it weren''t for what happened to Wisdom today, I might have never known what Nick was truly
thinking. After today''s incident, I finally know that he feels like he''s been living in my shadow all his
life."
Mango understood the general gist of it after hearing Nathaniel''s exnation.
"Do you mean that he''s always beenpared to you?"
"Yes, this is the cons of being twins. Ever since we were kids, we would bepared in everything.
My parents didn''t, but people wouldpliment me as I was more gifted than Nick. However, it
wasn''t the same for Nick. When I was younger, I thought the situation would improve as we got
older. Yet, before we graduated university, Nick had left home. At that time, I thought that it was a
good thing as people won''tpare us anymore."
Nathaniel felt rather sad when he said this.
"When he was in Nakasara, it was the first time I''d ever seen Nick smile so happily. From the
pictures he sent home, it seemed like Nick loved the ce. So, I abandoned the idea of bringing
him home. Perhaps being apart would be better for us."
"But I didn''t expect that something would happen to Nick. I thought that he was dead for real! I even
regretted letting him stay in a ce where the Ye family had no influence. I was consumed by guilt
for five years, and when I found out that Macy was pregnant with his child, I raised his child as my
son."
"I know."
Mango held Nathaniel''s hand.
She could feel the difort in Nathaniel''s heart, and she soothed him softly, "Perhaps this is just
guesswork on our part. Maybe it has nothing to do with Nick. No matter what, you two are brothers,
and you''ve shared a great rtionship over the years. When both of us were in a bind, Nick came to
help us, right? I don''t believe that he wants to hurt you. Maybe everything is a coincidence, or we
may have overlooked other clues."
Nathaniel looked over at Mango and he knew that she was trying tofort him. With that, he felt
much better.
"Yeah, there''s no evidence now, and all we have is spection. So, we can''t just use Nick
blindly. I believe that he won''t hurt me because we are brothers after all."
"Yeah, we''ll look into this, okay? Perhaps this could all just a farce. Nathan, I know you''re upset, but
if you no longer want to investigate, we can just forget everything and leave."
Nathaniel smiled as he looked at Mango''s expression, "Silly, we can leave, but what about Mom?
What about the Ye family? We can''t leave peacefully if we haven''t dealt with all our problems. Also,
I want to know who kidnapped you. Why did they kidnap you and leave you to die?"
