The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1267

"No, I want to eat the meal cooked by my sister-in-law in particular. Say, I've come here from so far away. You shouldn't reject a plea from me, right?"

Maverick looked at Nathaniel and said as he was determined to get what he want by pestering the latter.

Nathaniel glanced at him and said calmly, "Of course, I can reject your request. We don't entertain outsiders."

"Am I an outsider? Nathaniel, think about it. After all, I am your..."

"Nathan!"

Mango ran over quickly and looked at Maverick with great caution. There was a hint of wariness in her eyes.

"Who on earth are you?"

Although Rita did not speak, she came and stood beside Wisdom as she watched Maverick curiously.

"I'm..."

"He is the cleaner of the cemetery."

Before Maverick could finish his words, Nathaniel cut him off and he almost choked on his tongue.

Him?

A graveyard cleaner?

Was he kidding?

Maverick glared at Nathaniel without saying a thing. His eyes were full of grievances.

Mango was slightly taken aback. She could tell that Maverick had no ill intentions towards Nathaniel, so she managed to relax a little.

"What is the cemetery cleaner doing here?"

"I asked him to come over and clean Nick's grave."

After saying that, Nathaniel looked at Maverick meaningfully.

Maverick was so dejected.

"He, a cemetery cleaner? And he has to wipe the tombstone?"

Nathaniel had gone too far!

However, Nathaniel ignored him and walked away with his wife in his arms and his children by his side.

Maverick looked at their backs and couldn't help but be stunned. For some reason, he suddenly envied Nathaniel at this moment.

"Mr. Abbott, should we tail them?"

A man came out of from the shadows and asked Maverick in a low voice.

All the emotions on Maverick's face faded away as only indifference and coldness were left. At first glance, he looked a little like Nathaniel.

"No need."

"As for Mr. Abbott Senior..."

Before the subordinate could finish his words, Maverick directly took action by grabbing his neck tightly. As he looked at the other party who was turning blue in the face, he said coldly, "Do you work for me, or my father? Huh?"

The subordinate was feeling extremely uncomfortable because of the feeling of suffocation, but he didn't dare to resist.

Although Maverick looked very handsome, his means were definitely the crudest they had ever seen.

The subordinate suppressed his fear as he quickly said, "I work for you, Mr. Abbott."

"Then do as I say. You'd better know how to report this to my father. Otherwise, I won't let good-for-nothings work for me!"

After saying that, he loosened his grip.

The subordinate coughed violently as he nodded fervently.

"Get lost! Don't sully my brother's grave."

Maverick growled in a low voice, and his subordinate quickly disappeared.

He looked in the direction in which Nathaniel had left. They had long disappeared from his view.

Maverick turned around and glanced at Nick's tombstone. He did not care that he was wearing white pants as he sat down on the ground.

He leaned against Nick's tombstone with the corners of his lips slightly curved upward.

"Nick, let's get to know each other again. I'm your eldest brother, Maverick. Are you surprised to hear the news? The man whom you saved from the street was actually your eldest brother. Do you feel like hitting me now?"

As he recalled what had happened before, a smile appeared on his face.

"You are really a stubborn person. Why did you choose that industry when there were so many to choose from? How old were you back then? You passed away at such a young age. What can you gain in the afterlife? Isn't it good to stay here and be my brother? You probably don't know that your awkward brother is not as lovely as you. Nick, if you are still alive, will it be easier for us three brothers to get along with each other?"

"Why don't you talk to me? You used to be love talking, didn't you? You even dislike me for being distant all day long. You even carried me to the clinic at midnight like an idiot. I just had a high fever. Why are you so anxious?"

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

He choked with sobs a few times. Then he suddenly raised his head and blinked his tears back.

"Nick, you b*stard! You said you are my brother, and you said you would participate in the competition in Germany with me. Do you know that I went to serve the army because of this promise? How could you break your promise? How could a man like you renege his word? Get up, get up! Why do you just lie here? Don't you know that you're still very young? Do you know that you're a father? How can you lie here? What will Nathaniel and I do if you're dead? That b*stard is much worse than you."

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he spoke.

He hugged Nick's tombstone of Nathaniel as he choked with sobs. He felt terrible.

When Nathaniel was here just now, he couldn't vent his feelings. Now that he was alone, he really missed Nick.

This brat was the first person he had met over the course of thirty years, who was really nice to him. He treated him better than his own father.

Nick clearly did not know that he was his elder brother, but he was able to treat him so well without reservation.

Memories from a few years ago flashed through his mind like in the movies. He could remember every scene clearly.

"He is dead already. Can't you let him enjoy the silence for a while?"

Maverick was stunned immediately by Nathaniel's voice.
