The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1285

"Well, don't be too upset. The superior has given him a chance, but it depends on Maverick's decision. Don't worry. After this matter is over, you can finally retire as you like and draw a pension."

Nathaniel knew what Morgan was trying to say about his retirement.

Generally, people retired when they were over 60 years old. However, members of the special forces retired when they were 35 years old. Since he had a higher military rank, the army would give him a pension allowance, even though he didn't need to participate in military affairs anymore.

This was also the life Nathaniel wanted.

He nodded and smoked a cigarette with Morgan. Then, he whispered, "I'm going to check up on Mango. By the way, what's with the array formation ? Is it really something people practice in the ancient times?"

"Oh, yes, I need to tell you something. The girl that you brought with with you is really extraordinary. She's amazing because she could solve this array!"

Morgan was impressed with Lilian's ability.

As soon as Nathaniel heard Morgan words, he knew that Lilian was right. However, he still had doubts about her identity.

"Lilian works for Augustus."

Morgan was slightly stunned to hear what Nathaniel had said.

"Lilian Becham? Is that her surname?"

"I don't know, and I just know her name. Augustus was the one who introduced her to Maverick, but Maverick seems to care about her very much."

Nathaniel explained what he knew about Lilian and the details of the situation.

Then, Morgan said in a low voice, "She must be the descendant of the array. The mining field has existed for many years, and so has Longford County. If their ancestors hadn't reinforced the whole mountain range with the array, perhaps it would have been discovered long ago and wouldn't have been hidden so well. You have no idea how many experts we've invited to crack this array. We spent months drafting and researching this, but I didn't expect Lilian to solve it in such a short time. She's a treasure, and you should find a way to let her stay."

"I'm not sure. Lilian is very assertive and only listens to Maverick. If you want Lilian here, you need to protect Maverick."

Morgan was perplexed when he heard Nathaniel

saying this.

"Look, Nathan, you're making things difficult for me."

"I'm telling the truth. Lilian likes Maverick, and she is pregnant with his child. I don't care what you need her for, but you can't force or exhaust her. After all, I promised Maverick to protect her and the child."

This was what Nathaniel had promised Maverick.

After hearing this Morgan creased his eyebrows with concern, but he still nodded his head.

As they were almost done with their conversation, Nathaniel inquired about Mango's whereabouts before leaving.

Meanwhile, Mango was bewildered by the treatment she received there. They were given enough food, but they were not allowed to leave the tent.

On the other hand, Lilian remained calm and quiet, but this pure silence was suffocating.

Then, Mango poured her a cup of water and said, "Drink some warm water to warm up your body."

"Thank you."

Lilian took the cup to warm her hands, but she did not drink from it as a trace of worry flashed across her eyes.

"When will Maverick meet with us?"

However, Mango did not know how to reply to her.

"I m sure it won't take long."

Suddenly, when Nathaniel came into their tent, Mango was stunned."

"Nathan? Is that you?"

"Are you scared?"

Nathaniel gently touched her head and said with a smile, "They're not Augustus's people. They're working for Morgan!"

"Morgan Eaves? Did we just find him by chance?"

Mango was shocked to hear this.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel nodded in reply.

During this period of time, Mango had followed him all over the place, and she was obviously worn out.

On the other hand, Lilian frowned slightly when she heard that it was Morgan's team. Then, she said faintly, "I want to go back to Maverick."
