The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1174

Nathaniel was startled when he heard Terrance's question.

He thought Terrance was thinking of Dennis when he looked at the painting, but he did not expect the latter to change topic out of the blue.

"Are you talking about Barack Hans?"

Nathaniel asked subconsciously.

It suddenly occurred to him that Mango's father, Dennis was the oldest child. Besides him, Mateo was the third child, and Terrance was the youngest child. It seemed that he had never heard the Hans family mention anything about Barack, so no one had heard of Barack's name before.

"He has been removed from our family tree for a long time, so we can't remember him. Sometimes, I even think that our family only has three sons."

Terrance forced a smile and drew the smoke into his mouth as he said this. However, he ended up choking before the smoke, so he started coughing.

When Nathaniel saw this, he poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Hence, Terrance took a sip of water to suppress the cough. Then, he looked at the paintings on the wall and said, "In fact, like my eldest brother, he liked painting, travel and photography. However, he liked having freedom more. Also, Dennis and Barack are twins."

Nathaniel was dumbstruck when he heard this.

Were Dennis and Barack twins?

Nathaniel had never thought about this possibility!

After that, Terrance looked at Nathaniel, who was in surprise and smiled, "Everyone thought that Mango could give birth to a pigeon pair is because of the Ye family's genes. But, no one knows that the Hans family also has twins. However, the probability of the Hans family having twins is not high, so only a few people know about it."

Nathaniel did not interrupt Terrance.

This was indeed a little unexpected, but it was not difficult to accept.

Well, if Mango's family had no history of giving birth to twins, she would not have given birth to a pair of fraternal twins, even if Nathaniel's family had a history of doing so.

Thus, he could not help but think of their miscarried child.

The child seemed to have been a single baby.

Hence, even if there were genetic factors involved, it didn't mean that Mango would give birth to twins everytime.

Hence, Nathaniel did not speak, but Terrance continued, "Dennis and Barack were twins. At that time, my father was excited to hear this. After all, my father had always liked his life in the military. He even thought that if he gave birth to a son, he would train his sons to be soldiers from a young age. So, when he learned that he had two sons at a time, my father was very happy, and he trained them personally. Dennis was calm and obedient, but Barack was rebellious and naughty. Thus, Barack's always disliked our father's training."

"However, my mother thought that we only needed one son to continue their father's career. Their eldest son was steady and obedient, and my father had high expectations of him. On the other hand, my mother thinks that as long as Barack is happy, she wouldn't force him to do anything that he doesn't like."

A trace of sadness flashed across Terrance's face as he brought this up.

On the other hand, Nathaniel put out the almost-finished cigarette in his hand.

He looked at Terrance and asked, "Are the paintings here painted by Barack? Not Dennis?"

Terrance was slightly startled as he did not expect Nathaniel to ask such a question. However, he shook his head and said, "Of course not. Dennis is not a despicable villain who steals the works of others. Dennis painted those landscape paintings, but Barack painted the rest of the portraits."

Nathaniel was slightly stunned when he heard what Terrance had said.

He remembered Mango telling him that Dennis mostly painted landscapes, and the latter barely painted portraits. Hence, the only person that he had ever painted was Queena, who was also his mother-in-law.

Therefore, Nathaniel was surprised to hear what Terrance had said.

"He only painted one person."

"Yes, is the person Queena?"

Terrance looked at Nathaniel and said wryly, "Do you think that Dennis broke up with Queena so that he could the army?"

"You mean, Dennis and Barack fell in love with Queena at the same time, so Dennis decided to give her up?"

Different thoughts were running in Nathaniel's mind right now.

Well, Terrance had to admit that Nathaniel was smart.

"Mateo and I, and even the entire Hans family, thought the same. However, a woman who looked exactly like Queena came to me today. Then, I knew the reason behind his actions."

Nathaniel had already guessed what Terrance was going to say.

"She is Magnolia, who is Mango's aunt and Queena's twin sister."

"Looks like you and Mango know quite a lot of things."
