The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1323

Barack used to be sophisticated and charming, but he had been tortured until he became like this.

Although Magnolia didn't know what the king had done to Barack, she could imagine the pain that he had gone through from the wounds that she saw.

Magnolia had planned to ask Mango for a clear explanation, but she was afraid that Barack would run away once she left.

She had finally found his whereabouts and had seen him again! Hence, she would never let him disappear from her sight.

Magnolia was about to ask to prepare some food when she was told that Nathaniel had already asked them to do so. Hence, the staff in the kitchen were already carrying out his orders.

Hence, she hurriedly said, "Tell the staff to not put cilantro in the food because he doesn't like them."

Although she didn't say these words loudly, Barack heard it.

Did he dislike cilantro?

Well, he couldn't remember anymore.

After being imprisoned in the dark cellar, he had even eaten rotten food, let alone cilantro. If he did not eat, he would not be able to survive. Furthermore, he had even stuffed many other indescribable things into his mouth.

At the thought of this, Barack felt disgusted by himself.

Right now, he was like a rat in a ditch, so he looked filthy and disgusting. How could he be together with Magnolia?

Even if he still loved her, and even if he did not care about her past, what could he do?

He was not good enough for her, after all!

Well, Barack had always hoped that he could leave the cellar. But now, when he got what he wanted, he wanted to go back and never see anyone again.

He didn't care about anyone else's opinions, but he didn't want Magnolia to see his current state. Unfortunately, he had still appeared in front of her this way.

Then, Barack turned on the tap and allowed the water to flow onto his body. It had been a long time since he had felt this warmth.

He had thought that he would die in that dark cellar, but he never expected to get a chance to be free again.

Right now, just a simple hot bath was already a luxury to him.

It was difficult to clean his hair, so he picked up the scissors aside and cut his hair. Although it was scraggly, he looked better as he had groomed it.

While Barack was taking a shower, Magnolia did not stay idle. She went to find clean clothes, but Nathaniel had already prepared them. So she went to the kitchen again and personally made two dishes and even warmed a pot of wine for Barack.

By the time she finished all these and returned to her room, Barack had not come out yet.

Mango wanted to go and have a look, but Nathaniel carried her onto the bed and said in a low voice, "Look, both of them probably want to spend some time with each other tonight. So even if you have any questions, you won't have the chance to ask them too. You should go to bed first as it's getting late. After all, you have the energy to chat with Barack tomorrow if you rest well, right? Besides, we have plenty of time in the future, so we can talk to Barack anytime we want."

Nathaniel knew that Mango was emotional, and he also knew how Mango wanted to see Barack desperately. After all, Barack and Dennis were twins. Hence, whenever Mango looked at Barack, she would be reminded of her own father.

Well, Mango had never seen Dennis before. Even though she had seen his picture, she didn't get to see him before he died.

To Mango, this was her regret in life.

Therefore, she wanted to fulfil her wish by looking at Barack.

How could Nathaniel not understand what she was thinking?

However, Barack probably didn't have the energy or time to deal with his niece now.

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango knew that Nathaniel was telling the truth. However, she still said excitedly, "We have rescued my uncle, right? He won't be taken away again, will he?"

"Don't worry. As long as he's in my territory, no one can take him away."

Nathaniel said with a smile.

Mango nodded her head after hearing his reply.

"Yes, that's right! With our men around, no one can take Barack away anymore. Besides, you've taken care of the people there. Even if they wanted to inform the king, it would take them some time. They wouldn't be able to find Barack anymore then."

Mango muttered to herself childishly

On the other hand, Nathaniel saw that she could not calm down for a while, so he could not help but lower his head and kiss her lips.

Mango was stunned for a moment before she immersed herself in the kiss.

On the other hand, Barack finally came out of the bathroom after washing himself for about one and a half hours.

He had looked filthy and grimy previously, but he was now clean and sparkling. Although his hair was unevenly cut, he looked more refreshed.

As he had not seen the sun for so long, his skin was pale to the point where it looked sickly. His gaze was also lifeless and was not as sharp as others.

When Magnolia saw this, she had the urge to cry.

Alas! Barack used to be a spirited man. His eyes always sparkled as bright as stars and always captivated others, but how did he end up this way?

However, Magnolia suppressed the misery in her heart. Then, she smiled as she took Barack's hand before sitting down.

Barack unconsciously dodged her hand, but Magnolia realized it and grabbed his scrawny hand before he could do so.

Right now, he was wearing Magnolia's night robe.

THen, Magnolia smiled and said softly, "These are all your favourite dishes. I cooked them myself, so please try them. Do they taste the same as twenty years ago?"

She had an expectant gaze in her eyes as she said these words, and it seemed as if they had not been separated for twenty years.

Barack felt warmth in his heart, and tears started welling up in his eyes when he saw this scene.

He never thought that there would be a day when he could sit with Magnolia and eat dinner together with her again.

After that, Barack picked up the spoon. His movements were a little awkward, but he still picked up the food and put it in his mouth.

A familiar taste immediately filled his taste buds, and tears filled his eyes.

However, he didn't speak and lowered his head as he began to eat. Even though he didn't devour his food greedily, Magnolia still felt heartbroken when she saw the scene in front of her.
