The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1108

Mango could not move at all. She could only watch Morgan giving herself an apologetic bow. Then, he straightened his body and said, "Last time Nathaniel came to the military region to settle his resignation formalities, I was too emotional and had said something unpleasant to you. I'm sorry."

Mango was startled by these words.

Mango did not know what Morgan said in exact as it was all passed to her from Esther. What was more, what Esther had told Mango was quite tactful, so she looked at Esther in confusion.

Esther sneered, "He's a straightforward man and one of his competent soldier is about to retire soon. Therefore, he asked me to persuade you to let Nathaniel stay in the military region. His tone was too harsh and I did not want to tell you everything. Butthat's what he meant."

Mango was surprised once again.

Esther was embarrassing Morgan in front of everyone.

Mango suddenly felt uneasy about it.

"Esther, Morgan, don't say that. It's Nathan's luck to have you to guide and train him. When he left the military region, I know that you must be upset. You're doing this just because you care for Nathan too."

Mango's words made Morgan feel more ashamed of himself.

"Of course. I am indeed doing this for his own good. After all, he has earned himself a very bright future at this very young age. After he returned, he'll become a lieutenant colonel. You know, even the youngest lieutenant colonel is now in his forties, so it is rare for Nathaniel to climb up to this rank at his age. Also, in the future, he'll be fixed in a city, not much different from having a nine-to-five job. There are a lot of people who can't even reach this position for their whole lives."

At this point, he still felt that it was a pity for Nathaniel to leave just like this. However, Morgan's attitude and tone were gentler this time.

"As the chief, of course I don't want Nathan to retire, but Esther is right. Nathan does not belong to me or the army. He has his own family and life, and he also has his own right to choose what he wants. I feel sorry for his decision as the chief, but as his brother, I feel gratified. I'm sorry, I have thought through this matter. Whether you knew what I was telling to Esther or not, I have to apologize to you. After all, both of you and Nathan have suffered too much, and you have the right to pursue your happiness."

Upon hearing these words, Mango's heart instantly warmed up a little.

"Morgan, I didn't take it to heart."

"Sorry, I came here today to tell you about this. Now that I've finished, you girls have fun. I'll go out and take a look."

After that, Morgan left.

Esther looked at him and felt terrible.

Mango quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Alright, I'm not angry anymore. Why are you still putting on a straight face?"

Esther sighed, "Over the past few years, he has been promoted too quickly. There have been many people flattering him and sometimes, he'll get a little lost in it. Nathaniel's incident has made him sober. I'm sure there will be many hidden problems coming towards him as he is in a higher rank now. Plus, in recent years, he has become more domineering and dictatorial. Although everyone said that he is a tough and ruthless man, I know that it isn't a good thing for him. If someone wants to betray or scheme against him, it will be disastrous. Fortunately, this matter has kind of warned him that he needs to find his true purpose. So, I am relieved!"

Mango was slightly astonished.

She never knew that there was such a hidden issue in the military region.

Emberly looked at Esther and whispered, "Esther, has he been domineering these years?"

"Are you talking about being an autocrat?"

Esther smiled gently, and this made people feel serene.

Emberly nodded slightly.

"Yeah."

"Well, he is indeed a dictator. In many cases, he is a lot more straightforward than before. But after Nathan's incident, he locked himself up in his study for a night. When he came out again, he seems to be completely clear-headed. In this life, no one can say that they don't make mistakes, nor can they guarantee that they won't lose themselves. I know that he has lost himself in the recent years but fortunately, Nathan's incident woke him up."

Esther chatted with them casually. However, Genevieve and Emberly's faces changed slightly.

"Esther, is there something wrong with Morgan?"

Mango was at a loss.

Esther wasn't talking about that, was she?

It seemed that both Emberly and Genevieve were having the same expression.

Esther looked at Mango and said with a smile, "Don't be like this. You girls are gonna scare Mango. It's nothing. There will be some forms of competitions in the military region anyhow, so it's not a big deal."

"Will there be any dirty schemes and plots there?"

Emberly and Eugene had different backgrounds as compared to them, so Emberly naturally would see the issue from a dark perspective.

Esther did not reply.

Mango immediately reacted.

"Then aren't we making trouble for you guys now? Esther, you can leave with Morgan first."

Esther smiled when she saw Mango's nervousness, "Everyone knows the relationship between the four of these men in Ocean City. Even if we don't come, can we distance ourselves from you? We are doing everything with our conscience. As for the others, I believe the superiors are not blind. Over the years, Morgan has done too many things for the country and the military area. They should know him well."

"But..."

Emberly wanted to say something but stopped after receiving a look from Esther.

Mango did not understand these relationships, but nevertheless she felt a little depressed.

Originally, she gathered everyone together for a fun time, but she did not expect things turn out to be like this.

Although she did not know what would be involved in this matter, Mango still felt that it had something to do with her and Nathaniel. She was not sure if she was thinking too much though.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Both Mango and Nathan have just returned from a trip. Let's talk about something happy instead!"

Esther changed the topic immediately.

Emberly and Genevieve also smiled and said, "We want to know what else you guys did apart from asking Nathaniel to dress up as a woman?"

Mango suddenly became a little shy.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Ah! You're shy!"

Emberly smiled, "I remember that Mr. Ye has been vasectomized. Can it be used now?"

"I heard it's okay now."
