The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1021

"Alright, you should follow your heart then. By the way, we should hang out at Windsor Square the following day. I've never met your wife much, so my wife suggested that we could spend some time together then."

Nathaniel nodded after hearing Noah's suggestion.

"Sounds good."

After hanging up the phone, he recalled that Mango had personally visited Esther to settle Rita's problem.

Five years ago, he hadn't sorted out his feelings for Mango yet. Thus, he didn't introduce Mango to his other buddies. Thus, it was time to bring Mango to meet them after both of them had gone through various hardships together.

Then, Nathaniel put his phone aside and took a shower before he went back to bed.

When he remembered that he had an operation the next morning and he could no longer have sex with Mango for half a month, Nathaniel kissed Mango once again.

Mango felt slightly uncomfortable while she was lying on her stomach. She wanted to turn over and change her sleeping position, but she never expected Nathaniel to kiss her instead.

"Um... hmm ..."

Mango tried to shove him away, but Nathaniel was too strong.

Thus, they ended up tossing around in bed the whole night.

Nathaniel didn't let go of Mango until it was four o'clock in the morning.

Mango was extremely exhausted, and she felt that her body was about to fall apart.

She mournfully looked at Nathaniel and said, "Urgh! What kind of medicine did you take? You have such insane stamina!"

"Well, I miss you so much because I haven't touched you for such a long time."

Nathaniel felt slightly guilty, but he did not regret what he had done.

After hearing his reply, Mango shot him a glare before lifting her leg to kick him.

"Urgh! I'm so tired. Let me get some sleep. Make something for Rita to eat when she wakes up later. Also, about Elena and Lawrence..."

"I'll take care of it. All you need to do now is to get some rest. By the way, where do you want to go for our vacation?"

Nathaniel remembered clearly what Mango had told him when she came to visit him in prison. She had said that she wanted to go on a trip with him.

Mango couldn't think anymore because she was exhausted, and she was about to fall asleep. When she heard Nathaniel's words, she subconsciously replied, "We can go anywhere as long as I'll be with you..."

Nathaniel's lips curled up slightly when he heard her answer.

“Let's go to Angolla then."

"It's up to you. I want to get some sleep."

Then, Mango turned her head to another side and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked at her with a doting gaze.

After all, he needed to make sure that she couldn't wake up tomorrow due to exhaustion so that he could go to his operation secretly!

He shook his head and lifted the blanket. Then, he went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water. He wiped Mango's body using a hot towel before changing her into a clean nightgown. After taking a shower, he directly went to the study.

He had heard about what happened to Rita when he returned home. However, he noticed that Mango had handled the matter well. Hence, he decided that hand over any new evidence to the authorities.

Nathaniel had decided to visit Brantley after that.

After all, Lawrence had a casual relationship with Queena before. They also had a daughter named Andrea.

After all, even if Brantley didn't want to admit the truth, Andrea was still Queena's child. If he wanted to deal with Lawrence, he certainly needed to seek Brantley's approval.

Nathaniel took this opportunity to put on his clothes and drove out of The Ye's Mansion. He then went straight to the hospital.

After visiting her father, Rainie had fallen asleep by Thomas's bed.

Nathaniel could smell an unusual aroma in the room when he arrived. Thus, he quickly covered his nose.

"How long are you going to use this sleeping incense on Rainie? Aren't you worried that it will damage her health if you use it too much?"

Nathaniel said in a deep voice.

Thomas had been lying on the bed, but he sat up once he heard Nathaniel's voice. At the same time, a trace of distress flashed across his eyes.

"Well, I didn't expect her to come back suddenly.

When Madam took her to City B to develop her new career, I thought she wouldn't be back for a long time."

Thomas lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He picked up Rainie and put her on the bed. After that, he covered her with the quilt and adjusted the temperature in the ward before telling Nathaniel, "Let's talk outside."

"Alright."

Nathaniel turned and left the ward after saying that.

Then, both of them went to the terrace.

Nathaniel handed Thomas a cigarette.

Thomas lit it. He then took a deep breath and suddenly let out a racking cough.

"Did you quit smoking?"

"Nah, I just cut down the number of times I smoked."

Thomas only took another puff of the cigarette after he had gotten used to the smoke. Then, he took out a thumb drive from his pocket and handed it to Nathaniel.

"All the evidence about Bernard's misdeeds are inside. This includes records of him laundering the company's money and information about the witnesses of the homicide that he did overseas. In addition, during this period, I managed to mingle around with the executives of the Bernard's company. Through this, I found that several politicians and army officers are working together with him. So, I've also put their names inside this folder."

Nathaniel was not surprised by Thomas's words at all.

After all, Bernard had managed to leave scot-free even after the police had arrested Kolton. This meant that he had laundered the illegal proceeds that he had earned. However, he couldn't have erased all traces of his actions. Hence, Nathaniel became more alert when the police never suspected Bernard.

Thus, he was waiting for an opportunity to send one of his subordinates to Bernard's company to investigate this issue.

This was a risky job. After all, the subordinate he sent had to be skilled in both fighting and strategising. Hence, Thomas was the best candidate to take on this job.

Nathaniel did hesitate for a moment after he had thought about it. After all, Thomas was Rainie's boyfriend. However, Thomas volunteered to do the task, so Nathaniel could not refuse him.

Thomas also had a military status too.

To protect the army's blueprint at that time, both Nathaniel and Thomas decided to request a transfer at the same time. In fact, Nathaniel had always kept his military status a secret as well.

Looking at the thumb drive in his hand, Nathaniel whispered, "Do you want to go back to the military area?"
