The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1387

Mango had also noticed this, so she quickly grabbed Nathaniel's hand and whispered, "What's going on? The atmosphere feels a little heavy to me."

"Let's wait and see."

Nathaniel quickly suppressed his emotions and at this time, they saw Teagan walking towards them.

When Teagan saw Nathaniel and Mango, he paused briefly before saying in a low voice, "Something happened. Bernard's body was found, and Laborn is now conducting a huge search throughout the city. He is searching from house to house, and not long ago, Mr. Acker was invited into the palace. They said it was just to catch up with the king, but I'm afraid he is being kept captive. Where is Sir Tristan now?"

Mango's heart jumped when she heard this. Have they brought trouble to the Acker family after all? Or did Laborn already know that they were hiding here, so he was now using Mr. Acker to threaten Tristan?

Nathaniel's expression darkened too.

The discovery of Bernard's body had been arranged, so it was understandable for Laborn to conduct a huge search. However, Laborn searching from house to house was a little unexpected. Not to mention that Mr. Acker had been taken away too, which was a little strange.

"Tristan is resting. The surgery lasted the whole night last night."

Mango's heart ached for Tristan as he had not had enough rest yet and something big had happened. It was likely that this had something to do with Nathaniel and Mango too.

Teagan was also worried that Tristan hadn't rested well, but he had no choice but to put that aside for now.

"This matter must be discussed with Sir Tristan, otherwise I won't be able to arrange for the Acker family's next move."

"I'll go with you."

After Mango finished speaking, she followed Teagan to look for Tristan while Nathaniel tagged behind.

When the group came to Tristan's room, they saw that Priscilla was sitting outside the door and was drinking tea on a table. When she saw them, she paused slightly.

"Did something happen?"

Priscilla was a very sensitive person and knew that something was up when she saw Teagan came looking for Tristan along with Mango and Nathaniel. Moreover, they all had serious expressions on their faces, so she couldn't help but frown too.

"Yes. Is Tristan still sleeping? Can we wake him up?"

Mango said to Priscilla.

When Priscilla heard this, she was a little annoyed.

"You can wake him up all you want. Why get my permission?"

With that, Priscilla moved aside to let them in.

Mango and Nathaniel didn't say anything to her words as they didn't have the time to waste either. Then, they went inside the room.

Tristan hadn't slept for long, so he was now in a deep slumber. Mango couldn't bear to wake him up when she saw his exhausted state.

Meanwhile, Teagan sighed and said, "Sir Tristan hasn't had a good sleep in a long time. I can't bring myself to wake him."

Priscilla had followed them in, and when she heard Tristan's words, she could not help frowning as she glanced at Tristan. Seeing that everyone did not have the courage to step forward, or rather, they could not bear to do so, she immediately walked over to Tristan.

"Hey, get up."

She said as she kicked the bed, causing it to tremble slightly.

Tristan's brow furrowed tightly from the movement and had an annoyed look on his face, but he did not wake up.

The more he was annoyed, the happier Priscilla was.

Because Tristan had given her a hard time, she wanted him to feel the same too.

Thinking of this, Priscilla got up and went to the bathroom. Not long after, she came back with a pail of cold water and splashed it all onto Tristan.

"What the hell! You..."

Teagan couldn't stop Priscilla while Mango was completely stunned to do anything. However, Nathaniel merely pursed his lips into a brief smile.

Everyone's impression of Priscilla was noble and carefree, so they had never seen Priscilla act out like this before.

When she was young, Priscilla was a little devil. Now, because of her age and identity, she had to restrain herself, but it did not mean that she was a collected and serious woman.

Meanwhile, Tristan was suddenly awakened by the cold water.

"Who is it?"

He wiped his face hastily and when he opened his eyes, he saw three pairs of eyes looking at him worriedly. Apart from that, there was another pair of eyes that shone with triumph.

His eyes moved to the bucket in Priscilla's hand and immediately knew who the culprit was. However, his boiling anger abruptly vanished when he saw the provocation in Priscilla's eyes.

"What happened?"

He asked as if nothing happened, which caused Mango to gasp in amazement.

Wasn't this too much?

He knew that it was Priscilla who had splashed water onto him, but he had actually suppressed his anger! If it was to say that Tristan had no feelings for Priscilla, Mango would never believe it.

However, Priscilla was disappointed in Tristan's reaction.

She had been waiting for Tristan to throw a fit at her so that Nathaniel could see the hypocrite's true colors and help her escape, but unexpectedly, Tristan was not angry at all!

What the hell?!

Why wasn't he angry?

She clearly saw those murderous eyes of his!
