The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1125

Nathaniel's entire body was about to burst into flames, but he still restrained himself. After all, Mango's health condition was not very stable.

Mango could clearly feel the tightening and trembling of Nathaniel's body, but she was startled when she did not see him take any further action.

"Nathan?"

Nathaniel sighed slightly and held her tightly in her arms. He whispered, "Not now. A few more days then."

Mango's face blushed.

She almost forgot how weak she was.

The two of them cuddled on the bed for a while. It was clear that Mango's condition was much better than yesterday.

She wanted to go out for a walk. Besides, Emberly also felt that lying on the bed all the time was not a good thing. Furthermore, she also missed her own children, so Emberly gave her a full body check-up before leaving.

Mango arrived at the back garden with Nathaniel's accompaniment.

There was only white snow covering the garden as it had been snowing these few days.

Nathaniel pulled Mango's clothes tighter to cover her body.

Mango revealed a smile, "In the ancient times, the emperor would plant flowers or something else for his beloved concubine. Do you want to plant a few for me?"

"Sure."

Nathaniel did not hesitate at all.

"I mean that you have to do it with your own hands."

"Alright, then."

Nathaniel's eyes were full of love.

Mango suspected that if she said that she wanted the stars in the sky, Nathaniel would have agreed and tried his best to get it.

She smiled with great satisfaction.

Mango leaned into Nathaniel's embrace and said in a deep voice, "It's winter now so it's not possible to plant them. We'll do it in spring next year. Then, well see wintersweet blossom next winter and enjoy the scenery when the time comes."

"Yeah."

Nathaniel accepted all of his wife's requests.

Mango felt that the happiness now was surreal.

Nathaniel saw that she looked tired, so he asked softly, "Do you want me to take you in for a while?"

"No, I like this place. It makes me feel alive."

Hearing this, Nathaniel felt a little bitter.

"Andrea is dead."

Nathaniel knew that even if Mango did not ask him, it did not mean that she would not have questions in her heart.

As expected, Mango paused for a moment, and she did not say anything else.

Mango once wanted to have a good relationship with Andrea. Unfortunately, Andrea's was literally twisted and hence, she could not turn over a new leaf no matter what.

Mango melted into Nathaniel's embrace and said with a melancholic tone, "I'm the only one left in the family now. My father, mother, and sister are all gone. If it was in the ancient times, wouldn't a woman like me be called a jinx?"

"Nonsense."

Brantley's voice came from behind, causing Nathaniel and Mango to be taken aback.

Mango struggled to get up, but Brantley stopped her.

"Don't get up. You are very weak now, weaker than an old man like me."

"Grandpa."

Mango was a little upset.

Brantley laughed.

"You're behaving like a spoiled child, which means you've recovered well. Yeah, Nathan can take credit forthat."

Nathaniel's face flushed red.

"Grandpa, go in and take a seat. I'll make you some tea."

Nathaniel was very respectful to Brantley.

"Okay."

Brantley entered their house with the help of Toby. Mango had planned to walk on her own, but she did not expect Nathaniel to directly carry her in.

She felt that her face had become scorching hot. Everyone was smiling when looking at them.

Mango buried herself in Nathaniel's embrace like a shy little kid.

Nathaniel smiled happily at the look of his wife.

Brantley felt relieved when he saw the love between them.

Toby took out a box and handed it over to Mango under Brantley's order.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

Mango asked with some curiosity.

"Open it and take a look."

Brantley smiled faintly.

Nathaniel placed Mango on the sofa. The tip of her nose was a little red from the cold, making her look especially adorable.

Mango took the box and was astounded when she opened it.

It was a ginseng!

However, Nathaniel's face changed a little.

"Grandpa, this should be at least 100 years old, right?"

This type of ginseng was priceless.

Mango was a little confused.

Wisdom happened to come out at this time. When he heard Nathaniel say that it was a century-old ginseng, he came over.

He picked it up and looked at it. Then he sniffed it and said with a smile, "This is a good one! Mommy, you can enhance your strength after eating it, but you can't eat too much. One ginseng rootlet per day is sufficient."

"Well, you're a smart one. Tell me, how many years is this ginseng?"

Brantley saw that Wisdom liked it very much and could not help but laugh.

Wisdom smiled embarrassedly and said, "This ginseng should have been five hundred years already."

Mango was immediately shocked by these words.

"Five hundred years? Grandpa, this is too expensive. I can't accept your gift."

"What are you talking about? This is for you to eat. I'm old and I'm afraid that I can't take it if I were to consume it. This ginseng can't do me any good so I guess it's the best if you let someone cook it, then I'll no longer think it's wasteful anymore."
