The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1229

"Have you gotten some news?"

Mango was somewhat agitated.

Brantley was afflicted by the incident for his entire life. If he still wasn't able to find the killer, he might not be able to face his late grandmother.

Noah nodded and said, "Yes, there's news regarding it. Rumors said that it was done by a vagrant. As for whether the vagrant is the criminal himself, we need further clarification."

Mango's brows slightly furrowed.

A vagrant?

Why would the wanderer get involved in the incident if he had no grudge with Brantley? It was merely a camouflage. Since there was a piece of news, was it close to the truth they wanted?

Mango could not conceal her excitement.

Noah also rejoiced.

That incident had created a huge sensation in the past. Moreover, Brantley was the person he admired the most after all. He certainly wanted to do something for him.

How sad it would be if a true hero who served his country could not get the comfort from the family member he deserved.

"I will further intensify the tracking. Do rest assure here, Mango. I sincerely hope that you can take good care of Nathaniel."

"Of course. He's my husband."

Mango had consistently worn a faint smile on her face.

Only then did Noah realize that his previous perception toward Mango was biased.

He was looking at the matter from Nathaniel's perspective. He tried to recall what had Mango given up for Nathaniel?

He doubted that she had given up much more than Nathaniel.

"I'm sorry, Mango."

Noah's sincere apology had abstracted Mango.

"Why do you apologize to me for no reason?"

Noah simply put on a smile but there was a sign of relief and understanding in his smile.

"It's nothing. Just assume that I've lost my mind."

Then, Noah lifted his foot and walked toward Michael's ward.

Mango could not understand what Noah was trying to tell her but she could sense his kindness. She smiled subconsciously and returned to Baxter

Alliance.

Nathaniel kept himself calm soon after Mango left. When he came out again, Mango was nowhere to be seen. He immediately panicked.

Was Mango annoyed due to his bad attitude?

Where had she been?

Had she left him?

Nathaniel quickly began to search around for Mango.

"Have you seen your sister-in-law?"

Nathaniel's eyes turned crimson. His hostility instantly made people shudder.

"Mango has went to visit Michael in the hospital."

One of his subordinates said with fear.

Nathaniel furrowed his brows tightly and was about to leave the spot in a hurry. Only then did he catch sight of Mango getting out of the car and walking toward him.

"Where have you been?"

Nathaniel hurriedly stepped forward. There was a trace of grievance in his scarlet eyes which stunned Mango for a moment.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Don't leave me alone and slunk away without a notice anymore."

Nathaniel frowned as he spoke. Then, he pulled Mango into his embrace despite being watched by his men. Only then did he feel that all his violent and manic emotions had instantly stabilized. The anxiety deep in his heart had gradually dissipated as well.

Mango gently patted Nathaniel's back.

He seemed to be particularly insecure and he was getting easily irritated ever since the Golden Lancehead Venom had infested on him. She didn't know if that was a good phenomenon. She could tell that Nathaniel had clung to her even more.

"Haven't I returned right after I've visited Michael in the hospital?"

"Yeah."

Nathaniel answered softly. He smelled her hair and whispered, "I'm hungry now. Nobody accompanies me to eat except you."

Mango almost burst into laughter.

It was indeed a botched excuse one would say.

"Okay, I'm starving too. Let's have something together."

"Alright then."

Nathaniel said grudgingly, but he started to smile.

He glanced at Mango from his peripheral vision and noticed that she seemed to be smiling too.

Only then did he ask, "What took you so long?"

"I thought you may need a long period to calm down yourself."

Mango raised her brows.

Nathaniel quickly said, "I didn't mean to ignore you. I was suddenly..."

"I understand. Regardless of what the presence of Augustus meant to you, Maverick may be the person you wouldn't want to get in touch with the most. However, aren't you going to face the situation as the man has not only hurt your buddy, but he was also trying to steal your subordinate?"

Mango understood that Nathaniel had actually excluded those who were his kinship. After all, those people did not give him a good impression. They even had their motives and wanted something from him. Thus, he had shown repulsion once he heard that Maverick was very likely to be Augustus's son.

Nathaniel tightly frowned and a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

"Why should I be kind to those kinships when they didn't show me any kindness? If Maverick is Augustus's son, I won't tolerate him if he wants to grab something from me. I've asked someone to investigate Michael's affair, and it's reckoned there will be news revert back soon. Aren't you hungry?
