The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1089

Nathaniel's hand subconsciously wrapped around Mango.

There were puckers between Bettany's eyebrows.

She slowed down the car and looked at the flickering lights in front of her. No one knew what she was thinking.

When they were about to arrive at the roadblocks, they suddenly heard the siren coming not far away from them.

"They've caught the rioters. Hurry up and support them!"

The noise coming from not far away made the police at the roadblock move quickly over there.

Nathaniel and Bettany suddenly felt relieved. Then, Bettany stepped on the accelerator and went through the roadblock.

They were safe after leaving Angolla.

Bettany sent them outside the borders immediately, and there were already helicopters waiting for them.

Nathaniel saw Magnolia from afar.

He frowned but said nothing.

Mango was still asleep.

Magnolia glanced at Mango, who was in Nathaniel's arms, and said kindly with a smile, "It's cold. I bought her a coat. Put it on her later. After all, covering a blanket doesn't look elegant."

"Thank you."

Nathaniel's words consisted of many meanings.

Magnolia understood but she said nothing. She took out an old pocket watch and handed it to Nathaniel. She said quietly, "It's almost New Year. Help me to hand this to my father."

"This is..."

"This is my mother's belongings."

There was a tinge of melancholy in Magnolia's eyes.

"Before my mother died, she left it with Sophia for remembrance, but she didn't expect that Sophia would eventually disappoint her. Hmm... to explain, Sophia went to her father for planning a scheme. This pocket watch was said to be the betrothal gift that my father gave to my mother. It was not until later that I found this pocket watch. I intended to personally give it to my father, but now it isn't the right timing. I don't know if my father can wait until I return, so I ask you to deliver it and tell him that his eldest daughter is still alive."

Nathaniel frowned slightly.

This could be a major issue. Moreover, Magnolia's identity and motives were unknown. He did not know how Brantley would react if he returned the pocket watch to him.

Just as Nathaniel was hesitating, Mango opened his eyes.

"This is left by grandma? Is it a betrothal gift from grandpa?"

Both Magnolia and Nathaniel were shocked when they realized that Mango had woken up at this moment.

Nathaniel asked subconsciously, "Are you cold?"

"I'm fine."

Mango jumped out of Nathaniel's embrace and abruptly put on the coat that Magnolia had bought.

"It really fits me well."

Magnolia smiled when she saw Mango wearing it.

"It's really beautiful."

"Of course, I'm a natural beauty."

Mango said without the slightest bit of modesty. Then, she turned around to look at Magnolia and asked, "You haven't answered the question I asked just now." "Yes, it was their betrothal gift." Magnolia thought that their cooperation could resolve Mango's suspicion about her. However, she did not expect Mango would still be intimidating.

Mango was very satisfied with Magnolia's answer. While adjusting her temperament, she smiled, "I'll definitely hand it over to my grandfather, no worries. If you really want to express your filial piety, then I'll of course help you to realize your wish. However, if you've got any other intentions, don't blame me for not caring about our familial ties when it happens. Lemme just warn you first so that we won't end up in bad terms when the time comes."

Her words were so straightforward that she did not even consider about Magnolia's feelings.

Magnolia paused for a moment before nodding with a smile. As for what she was thinking, Mango did not know and did not want to know.

After saying that, Mango and Nathaniel boarded the helicopter.

The helicopter was a private aircraft, and it was printed with the national emblem of Angolla. This helicopter symbolized the Imperial Palace.

The helicopter took off after Mango and the others went in.

Nathaniel looked at her and asked in a deep voice,

"Aren't you worried that she might wanna join us?"

"It's good to join us, but I can't understand her. Look at her power she had in Angolla. She can be considered a second to none. What's more, the president doesn't know it and she didn't help Lebanon to seize power. This is so unconvincing. Isn't Lebanon her son?"

"How is she not? If she was not Lebanon's mother, how could Magnolia look so similar to your mum? And how can she have a high level of DNA similarity with yours?"

Nathaniel retorted Mango.

Mango shrugged indifferently and said, "But she just did nothing and watched her son being bullied, and she never made a move. Do you think that's possible?"

"Mango, if she really doesn't do it, Lebanon won't live until now."

Nathaniel's words startled Mango.

"What does that mean?"

"When Magnolia faked her death in front of everyone, Lebanon was still very young. Do you really think that no one is protecting Lebanon all the way since he left Angolla? You know, even if Lexis was still very young at that time, he had his own mother to plan for him. It was much easier to kill a child than an adult, but they did not succeed so they just drove Lebanon out. What does this mean? It means that someone is protecting Lebanon."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's explanation, Mango finally understood.
