The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1318

Morgan was taken aback as well when he heard this.

"Uh... I don't think we made any mishaps, right?"

There was no sign of Laney surviving in his investigation results. Furthermore, everyone knew that Lebanon had dismembered her to vent his anger. Was there something that they didn't know about?

At this thought, Morgan looked at Nathaniel as he was confused.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was a little relieved after hearing what Morgan had said.

"I'm not sure. I thought that if the king cared so much about Laney, he would not let her die. That's why I asked."

However, Morgan smiled and replied, "Lebanon had the upper hand that time, and he took action quickly. At that time, Bernard had no time to react, let alone the king. Besides, I heard that the king was not in the country at the time, so Laney was pretty unlucky. Anyway, she should be dead already."

"Well, that would be the best situation indeed.

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing her myself." A trace of coldness flashed in Nathaniel's eyes as he said these words.

Morgan didn't say anything, but she nodded his head.

After both of them planned out some details, Nathaniel came to Maverick's tent.

At this time, Mango had finished drawing. Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked at it and found that the drawing was so vivid.

Maverick and Lilian were also tired. Hence, the rest of them left the room so that Lilian could rest.

Meanwhile, Mango added the final touches to the drawing before passing it to Maverick and Lilian. Both of them were very pleased with it when they saw it.

"Thank you, Mango."

Lilian smiled blissfully as it was obvious that she liked this painting very much.

"It's nothing. I'm glad that you all like it."

Nathaniel and Mango didn't want to disturb Lilian and Maverick, so they left the room.

"Are you tired?"

Nathaniel rubbed Mango's sore wrist and asked gently.

"Nah, I'm fine. I was satisfied when I saw how happy both of them were. Alas! I hope that every couple can stay together until the end."

Even till now, Mango still believed in happy endings that were only in fairytales.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked at her with eyes full of affection.

"Oh, well. No one knows what will happen in life, so let's just try out best."

"Yeah, that's right."

Mango nodded in reply after hearing what he had said.

She leaned in Nathaniel's embrace and asked in a low voice, "If Maverick and Atlas are not related, who is Maverick's biological father? Nanny Zhang was very loyal to Atlas at that time. She wouldn't sleep with other men!"

"Well, that's not true. Atlas could have used some special means to get her pregnant, and perhaps she would not even know that it had happened too."

Nathaniel remembered what had happened to Laney and Kolton, and his expression darkened.

Urgh! These people were too ruthless!

Mango was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Nathaniel was trying to say.

"Impossible! Nanny Zhang is so loyal to him, so he probably doesn't need to do anything much to get

her pregnant, right?"

"But he was not loyal to Nanny Zhang. What he wanted was only the secret behind the mountains of Longford County."

Nathaniel knew clearly how ambitious Atlas was.

After hearing that, Mango stopped talking.

Up till now, Mango had seen how families around her had reunited or broken up. Suddenly, she realized how difficult it was for her and Nathaniel to keep on staying together.

Amidst the schemes and deceptions, sometimes she could not help but doubt whether her relationship with Nathaniel was all a dream. Could this all be an illusion?

However, when Mango looked at Nathaniel, who was so affectionate towards her, she felt relieved once more.

Oh, well. They had gone through life and death situations together, so if Nathaniel was lying to her, she probably wouldn't believe in true love anymore.

At this thought, Mango wrapped her arm around Nathaniel's waist and whispered, "I'm tired. Let's go back and rest. We need enough sleep for the mission tomorrow." "Alright." Nathaniel agreed and carried Mango in his arms before striding towards their tent.

Well, Nathaniel had been seducing her all along, so Mango was prepared for him to make a move on her. However, he only hugged Mango and fell asleep without doing anything else.

Therefore, Mango was a little frustrated. Could it be that she had misunderstood his intentions?

However, since Nathaniel was not in the mood, she did not say anything. Instead, she turned to her side and fell asleep.

Nathaniel then opened his eyes when he heard the sound of Mango's even breathing. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Mango sleeping soundly.

He needed his strength for tomorrow, so he had let her rest well tonight. However, he had seen the disappointed look on her face just now. Wait, could it be that he had misunderstood her intentions?

Nathaniel pondered and smiled. Then, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

When Mango woke up the next day, Nathaniel was no longer around. His side of the bed was cold, which meant that he had gone out for a long time.

Mango quickly got up and went out after washing up. Then, she saw Nathaniel coming towards her under the sun.

He was also carrying a tray of food in his hands. This was normally done by the servants, but Mango suddenly felt that he looked extremely charming right now!

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel saw Mango looking at him so passionately, so he felt warm in his heart.

"Nothing. I just think that you've gotten more handsome recently!"

"Really? Then it must be because my wife is taking good care of me."

Nathaniel smiled faintly and brought the food in.

Furthermore, Mango felt that Nathaniel had gotten better at praising her too.

"I don't know where you learnt this from, but you're really good at sweet-talking!"
