The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 206

"No, I just feel bad about it."

Thus, Mango did not hide it from Nathaniel.

indeed, she had complicated feelings about Abyss.

Hence, Nathaniel did not continue to ask her, but his expression darkened.

Mango knew that any man would be angry when he heard such a reply. What was more, Abyss had gone too far with what he had done to Rita.

So, she stopped talking, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Thus, Dylan tried to interrupt awkwardly, "Well, do you want to leave through the back door?"

"Huh? There's a back door?"

At this, Nathaniel glanced at him.

Dylan said with a smile, "There might not be one in the other houses, but I definitely have one. You know me, I always have a backup plan."

This was the truth.

Ever since Dylan had almost died on the battlefield, he fell into a habit of having backup plans. It might be that the real fear of death came after the actual confrontation of death.

Hence, Nathaniel did not object to it. He looked at Mango and he said, "Are you all right? Do you want to leave?" "Yeah, sure."

In fact, Mango wanted to leave as soon as possible.

She felt no sense of security here.

Thus, Nathaniel said to Dylan, "Let Thomas drive out to distract the people that are waiting outside. As long as Thomas is here, they will never leave."

"Got it."

Dylan and Nathaniel clearly understood each other very well.

Thus, Mango left Dylan's house hand-in-hand with Nathaniel.

The "back door" of Dylan's house was actually a mountain. Hence, the road was rough and it was hard to traverse, but Dylan had already prepared a jeep for them. Then, he threw the keys to Nathaniel.

"Drive down from here to the foot of the mountain, and then you can leave."

"Would we run into any problems? Will there be a checkpoint at the foot of the mountain?"

Nevertheless, Nathaniel was still cautious.

Then, Dylan shook his head and he said, "Look closely at the number plate. Who the hell would stop my car? Do they have a death wish?"

It was only then that Nathaniel realized that the jeep had military license plates.

"All right, we'll get going." Nathaniel said.

"Be careful." Dylan replied.

Then, Nathaniel got in the car with Mango and he drove away. Mango stole a glance at Nathaniel. He was focused on driving, and the expression on his face was stoic. Thus, she could not tell whether if he angry or not, which made Mango uneasy.

"Are you mad?"

"Nope."

Nathaniel answered very quickly, which showed he was being angry.

Then, Mango sighed and she said, "He did save me and our children."

"He also imprisoned you!"

In the end, Nathaniel lost control of his temper and his body went stiff.

Truthfully, Nathaniel could not wait to kill Abyss whenever he thought of Mango in the basement.

Thus, Mango could not find a reason to refute Nathaniel over this particular point.

She explained softly, "Clearly, he's done a lot of bad things, but that doesn't cancel out what he did for me and the children. If it wasn't for him, we would have died in that fire incident five years ago. Plus, he took care of me for the whole year."

"You're defending him? Do you think I shouldn't take action against him and the Tang family?"

Nathaniel stepped on the brakes.

Thus, the sudden halt of the car threw Mango forward involuntarily. Fortunately, her seatbelt kept her in her seat, but it was obvious that Nathaniel was furious.

"I'm not defending him, I just said that it feels complicated to me. I don't know what to do now, and I know you have your own reasons for attacking him and the Tang family. However, I'm just expressing my opinions."

Mango did not know what had happened to her.

She hated what Abyss had done to Rita, and she couldn't accept the things he had done to her in the name of his insane love. However, she could not ignore the fact that Abyss had saved her life five years ago.

Thus, Mango felt conflicted and entangled.

Initially, she had not wanted to defend Abyss, but as she spoke, she found that her tone had changed.

Thus, she wanted to explain, but she found that the more she explained, the more conflicting it became. Hence, Mango started to sweat anxiously.

Next, Nathaniel rolled down the window. When he was about to smoke, he remembered that he had promised Mango that he would quit smoking. Thus, he had no cigarettes with him. So, he turned his head away and he tried to calm his anger.

Truthfully, he knew that Mango actually had her own difficulties. Hence, the only thing that made Mango hesitate was the fact that he had saved her life five years ago. However, he still felt uncomfortably jealous at that.

His woman was defending another man who had hurt her and their children. This situation made him even angrier.

The two of them did not speak for some time.

The cold wind blew in through the window. Mango was wearing thin clothes when she left, so she felt the chill.

However, she was stubborn. If Nathaniel did not want to talk to her, then she would not talk to him either. So, she turned her head and she looked outside. Nevertheless, her mind was jumbled up.

The wind caressed her long hair. Even though it was tied up, but there were a few loose strands hanging down and tickled Mango's neck and caused her to feel a little itchy.

Mango was already frustrated and that did not make things better. Thus, she tucked her hair behind her ear. However, her hair got tangled in her ring.

"Ouch!"

Mango could not help but let out a cry of pain.

Thus, Nathaniel quickly turned around and he saw Mango's predicament. Next, he tried to help her but Mango avoided his hands.

"Leave me alone."

Mango was always like this when she was angry.
