The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1069

Mango did not return to ask Xander about it. She knew that it was pointless since Xander would not tell her. He would have already told her the person's identity if he wanted to.

Nevertheless, that was kind enough of him.

The sun was shining brightly when she came out.

Mango leaned against the car door and looked at the soldiers who were training. For a moment, she found the scene really pleasing to her eyes, but her mind started wandering.

Who was the one Xander told her to be careful of?

Could it be Henry?

He was the first person who Mango suspected. However, why would he give Hikasa Manual to Michael after getting it if he was the betrayer? He could just use the book to threaten Mango.

After all, Henry knew how much Mango valued Hikasa Manual.

However, who else could it be other than Henry?

It was absolutely impossible for Michael to do that.

Mango had absolute faith in Michael's character as Nathaniel fully trusted him.

If that was so, who else could it be?

Was it Thomas then?

He had served Nathaniel for so many years and he was Rainie's fiance, so he would be the last person to betray them.

At that moment, Mango felt that her mind had gone haywire.

She had the urge to go back and ask Xander about the person who was with him, but she resisted.

Later, Bettany came out and she saw Mango leaning against the car door, but she didn't know what Mango was contemplating. So, she walked over directly.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Oh? Nothing... I'm just wondering what present to give to my husband tomorrow."

Mango smiled.

Then, Bettany paused for a moment.

"A present for your husband? Why?"

"We need some surprises in life, isn't it? Nathaniel saved my life, so I should buy him a gift."

Mango did not reveal that it was Nathaniel's birthday as she found it inappropriate to discuss such a personal topic with others. It was regardless of Bettany's identity and whether she was their friend or foe.

Meanwhile, Bettany was stunned by Mango's words.

Did we need surprises in life?

Was that so?

No wonder they were so close.

Bettany smiled and said, "How about you go out for a walk with him?"

"Are there any nice places here?"

Mango's interest piqued at that instant.

Then, Bettany said, "Swovenia is well known for its diamond production."

"I don't think my husband likes that."

Mango curled her lips.

Nevertheless, Bettany said with a smile, "There must be some other goods, but you'll know only after you go for a shop. Anyway, you can buy him a watch as I heard that giving a man a watch means that you want to be with him every second. I think it would make a good gift since you're so desperate to stick with him all the time."

Mango's mood was lightened up upon hearing this.

"That's a good gift! Let's go and have a look. I'll buy a diamond watch for my husband since here is well known for its production. That would mean that my love for him will last as long as a diamond's life span."

At that moment, Mango was beaming with joy.

Bettany had seldom seen such a simple woman.

In the past, she had always felt that Mango was cold and aloof, but Mango became really warmhearted when it came to Nathaniel.

That was the power of love.

Suddenly, Bettany thought of Jigsaw.

She used to be like Mango too. Perhaps she would be living happily with Jigsaw now if it wasn't for the fact that he sided with the wrong team and chose the wrong master.

Their children would be at an age to attend school now.

At that moment, there was a flicker of loneliness in Bettany's eyes.

Mango could sense that Bettany was down, so she hurriedly said, "Bettany, why don't you show me around since you're familiar with this place?"

"Sure. Should we bring some bodyguards?"

Then, Mango shook her head.

"No, I believe you."

However, Mango's words made Bettany slightly stunned.

"You believe in me? Why? We don't know much about each other and my husband died because of you. Aren't you afraid that..."

"What's there to be afraid of if Jigsaw is just your ex-husband... Besides, you're not a person who can't distinguish right from wrong and you should be aware that Jigsaw's fate is not my fault. Also, you're Wisdom's teacher and you treat him like your own son, so how would you have the heart to let him suffer any pain? You're Genevieve's master too and you surely won't make things difficult for her, isn't it?"

Mango said two reasons in a row by bringing Wisdom and Genevieve into this, so there was nothing else that Bettany could say.

She looked at Mango and smiled, "You seem to be a simple person, but you're actually smarter than anyone else."

"Thank you for your compliment. Can we go now?"

Lets go.

Then, Bettany and Mango got into the car.

Mango wasn't familiar with this place, so Bettany took the driver's seat.

Soon, the two of them left the encampment and Bettany brought Mango to the largest trading market in Swovenia.

This was the first time that Mango came here.

"This is..."

Mango looked at the marketplace before her and she thought that she had come to the wrong place.

Weren't they going to the mall to buy a diamond watch?

Then, Bettany whispered, "We're at Dark Mantle."

"Dark Mantle?"

Mango had heard of this place before, but she wasn't familiar with it.

So, Bettany began to educate her.

"You can buy anything you want here as long as you can pay the price. However, this place is beyond legal control and the sellers have relatively complicated backgrounds, so you should be careful."

"Uh! Dark Mantle?"

Suddenly, Mango became extremely excited.

Bettany saw Mango's reaction and she started to regret bringing her here.
