The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 2017

"Why did you come so late?"

Mango stepped forward with grievance and directly hugged Nathaniel's sturdy waist.

After solving the problem that she left for him, he rushed over without stopping. He originally wanted to scold her, but at this time, she was clinging to his waist, and his anger was gone in an instant.

"What's wrong? Who wronged you? That brat, Zion? I'm going to peel off his skin."

Nathaniel was about to take action, but was stopped by Mango.

Her head was pressed tightly against Nathaniel's chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she suddenly asked, "Nathaniel, will you die before me?"

This question made Nathaniel almost unable to stand straight.

"What had happened to you? I'm just 50 years old, and I'm only middle-aged according to the human lifespan. What's wrong with you wanting me to die early? Have you met another man and think that I'm in your way now?"

Nathaniel's eyes instantly turned colder.

If he knew who the man was, he would kill him.

When Mango heard Nathaniel's words, the sad atmosphere disappeared in an instant. She punched him hard and said, "How can there be another man? I'm almost crazy because of my two children. How will I still be in the mood to meet another man?"

"Did the children make you angry?"

"No, it's Desmond. He may not be able to make it."

Mango didn't think about it in this way before. She just thought that Desmond was only tired. But now when she saw the light in Desmond's eyes disappear little by little, and he looked so reluctant to leave this world but he couldn't do anything about it, she felt so upset.

People couldn't do anything in the face of life, old age, illness, and death.

She thought that Nathaniel would comfort her with a few words, or at least say a white lie to her. However, Nathaniel didn't say a word, which made Mango more or less understand.

"Did you already know about it?"

Looking at the reluctance in Nathaniel's eyes, she couldn't help but ask.

Nathaniel nodded slightly.

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?" "Desmond didn't allow me, and I was afraid that you would feel upset. In fact, Desmond and I have been in touch all these years. It's just that you don't know."

At this critical moment, what else couldn't he say?

Nathaniel looked in Desmond's direction. Desmond seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed.

Mango suddenly felt even worse.

"What happened to him?”

"I don't know. Desmond was already a lab mouse when he was in his mother's womb. It's already perfect for him to be able to live so long and have children.’’

"How could it be perfect?"

Mango knew that Desmond's situation was different, but hadn't he already lived for so many years? Why couldn't he go on like this?

Nathaniel couldn't bear to see Mango like this. He held her in his arms and said in a low voice, "People have different lives. You have to let it go when it comes to life and death."

"I can't. Nathaniel, we have gone through a lot of difficulties with Desmond. Can't we go through this?"

"He has aged very fast in the past two years, and there is something I need you to know."
