The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1157

"Oh, Toby, I took the wrong step. Let me try that again."

When Brantley saw that he was about to lose, he acted shamelessly to retrace his step.

"A real man doesn't regret the steps he takes, Sir."

Toby felt a little dejected when he saw this.

"What? I'm not a real man, and I'm merely an old bloke! So that step doesn't count! Let me play again."

Brantley took his chest piece back shamelessly, and then he thought for a while before he placed it in a different spot. As a result, Toby still captured that chess piece.

Therefore, the final result was obvious. Brantley had lost the game.

"Urgh! No, I don't want to play chess anymore. It's too boring! I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed."

When Toby saw how Brantley was acting so childishly, he really wanted to laugh.

Soon, the villa being peaceful again, and only snowflakes were falling slowly outside the house. However, a few unknown shadows were moving around in the dark.

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning when Mango woke up from her sleep, so she felt refreshed and energized. After that, she decided to listen to Nathaniel's suggestion and entrusted Esther to Ned.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had been in the kitchen since the early morning, and he had made a fried egg for Mango.

When Walter saw Nathaniel, he said, "Can't you fry another egg for my wife?"

"Nah, you should take good care of your own wife instead."

Then, Nathaniel went into the room with the fried egg as soon as he finished his sentence.

Before Mango could brush her teeth, she saw Nathaniel enter the room with a fried egg.

"Hmm, that smells good."

"Wash up and have breakfast quickly. I'm cooking some porridge downstairs, so I'll get it for you now."

Nathaniel smiled faintly as he said this.

"Wait, are we not having breakfast downstairs?"

Mango asked in astonishment.

"Let's eat in the room. After all, too many people downstairs."

Mango was about to laugh after hearing what he

had said.

However, she had no objections to this plan.

After washing up quickly, Mango and Nathaniel had their meal in the bedroom.

It had snowed all night, and there were no signs that the snow was stopping.

Mango looked outside through the window. There was a thick layer of snow outside, and she felt cold when she looked, at it.

"Alas! I wonder how Zion is doing. Will his personality disorder cause trouble at night? What if it happens in the military region..."

"Nah, don't overthink too much. I'm sure that he'll be fine."

Nathaniel quickly circled his arms around Mango as he comforted her.

After all, he knew that Mango was worried about Zion because he was worried too. However, Zion was his son, so naturally, people were watching over him in the military region.

After hearing what Nathaniel had said, Mango stayed silent.

Meanwhile, Wisdom was still reading medical books in his room.

Suddenly, Mango thought of something as she asked, "Did you take the medicine Wisdom gave you on time?" "Yeah, I'm taking it now."

"Did your neuralgia happen again recently?"

Mango knew that Nathaniel would lie to her sometimes when he was ill, so she stared fixedly at him while she asked this.

"Nah, nothing has happened recently. I'm telling the truth."

Nathaniel smiled faintly and circled his arms tighter around her while answering her.

Therefore, Mango felt that she was warm all over. As she looked at the snow outside, she smiled and said, "I feel like going out and build a snowman. Naha! We can also throw snowballs."

"No, I don't think your body can take that."

Nathaniel refused her request flatly.

Mango pouted in reply, but Nathaniel did not bulge.

Of course, Mango knew that he was doing this for her own good, so she did not make a fuss out of it. After breakfast, she turned on the computer and decided to video call Clarissa instead.

The entire company was now on holiday. Meanwhile, Mango had given Clarissa quite a generous bonus as well.

Under Clarissa's leadership, the company had been making profits during these few months. Although the artists were not extremely famous yet, she had not seen any scandals about them either. Furthermore, she had managed to find good jobs for them as well.

On the other hand, Rainie's record had gone viral. Therefore, her song was played in all the shopping malls and the streets.

Mango was genuinely happy for her. However, she didn't know if the latter would return during the new year.

At the thought of this, she called Rainie.

"Are you coming back for the new year?"

"I am. Thomas said that he missed Nathaniel already. Alas, other women only have to worry about their sons having mistresses, but I have to watch out for other men as well!"

When Mango heard how Rainie was complaining about this resentfully, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"By the way, how is Denver doing? Have you gotten any news about him recently? Will he be coming back for the new year?"

In fact, she had not heard any updated from Denver ever since he had gone overseas for his rehabilitation.

Rainie paused for a moment before she said, "I don't think he will be back. His rehab is going pretty well, but he still can't stand up for a long time. He has asked me to find Anaya's whereabouts, but I haven't found her yet. So, I don't think that he'll be coming back soon."

"Have you not heard anything about Anaya at all?"

Mango could still remember Anaya clearly as the latter was around Barney's age. However, Mango didn't know if Anaya had contacted Barney recently.

"Nah, I don't have any news about her at all. In fact, I can't find any of her traces, and it's like she disappeared from this world! Forget it, she'll probably appear at the right time soon."

Rainie sighed as she said this.

"Come back and celebrate the new year with us then. Walter will get married in three days, while I will hold a wedding in four days."

Rainie was stunned after hearing what Mango had said.

"D*mn! How many times does Mr. Ye want to marry you? Does he ever grow sick of it?"

"Are you envious? If you are, you should marry Thomas quickly!"

Rainer sighed upon hearing Mango's words and said, "Both of us don't have parents, so we won't hold a wedding. We'll do a honeymoon tour instead if all else fails. I'm a public figure now after all, so it's not good for me to attract too much attention at my wedding. After all, I want us to keep our happiness to ourselves."

Suddenly, Mango felt that Rainie was too pitiful.

"Why don't I make arrange your wedding for you then?"

"Nah, there's no need for that. Thomas and I just want to do it in the simplest manner. Besides, everyone's dream wedding is different, and I only want to travel around the world with him."

After hearing what Rainie had said, Mango decided to not suggest anything else.

Then, both of them chatted for a while before hanging up.

Finally, Mango could enjoy some peaceful days now!

The day of Walter's wedding arrived in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Mango woke up early in the morning. She was very excited and jubilant, but Nathaniel pressed her onto the bed directly.
