The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 243

The photo's colour was faded, and a corner of it peeked out. To Mango, it was quite like Pandora's Box that inspired intrigue and temptation.

Mango was not a person who took joy in invading other people's privacy, but this time she was overwhelmed by curiosity.

Whose picture was this?

At Dennis's gallery, she had seen a photo of a person who looked extremely similar to Queena. Would there be a photo like that here in Queena’s villa?

Mango was troubled in her heart. After some hesitation, curiosity won out and she gently pulled out the photo.

Apparently, it was a photo of two people.

The people in that photo were very good- looking and they seemed to be a perfect match for each other.

Of course, the woman in the photo was the same as she saw before and the man in the photo was very poised, and he looked like a perfect gentleman.

Then, Mango turned the photo and she saw some words written on the back. 'Queena and Dennis's trip to Mount Huang!'

"Dennis?"

Mango's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Was Dennis the man in the photo?

Was this Dennis when he was younger?

So, Dennis had taken a photo together with Queena?

From the photo, it proved that they were in a romantic relationship.

Mango was shocked at this revelation.

So, the real reason that the woman in the photo looked so similar to Queena wasn’t that they were siblings or doppelgangers, but Queena herself was Dennis’s girlfriend.

So, was Andrea the daughter of Dennis and Queena? Was she the illegitimate daughter that the Madam Hans had been looking for?

At the thought, Mango felt quite excited and she could not wait to tell Terrance this piece of news, but she stopped herself.

Something was not right!

Andrea was only around twenty-four this year. If so, how could she possibly be Dennis and Queena's daughter? Furthermore, Andrea had said that her father was the director of the hospital, Lawrence Yu.

What the hell was going on?

Mango could not figure it out and she was far too embarrassed to ask Queena about it. So, she could only secretly return the photo to its original place and pretended that nothing had happened. However, Mango found it hard to calm her emotions. In the end, she had to call Nathaniel as she could not stop thinking about it.

"What's wrong? I’ve only just left, but do you already miss me?"

Nathaniel joked with Mango immediately after he picked up the phone.

Then, Mango murmured, "I always miss you when you’re not around though."

Nathaniel did not really know how to respond to that.

At his silence, Mango smiled and said, "Why are you so quiet? Don't you miss me?"

"Of course, I do."

Nathaniel's answer was straightforward.

Mango was in a great mood and she took his answer in stride. Then, she looked in the direction of the kitchen and she muttered softly when she saw that Queena was still inside. "Nathan, I've discovered a secret."

“Huh? What is it?"

At the time, Nathaniel seemed to be inside a car as there was noise in the surrounding.

Mango replied, "I just saw a photo of Aunt Xiao and Dennis and it turns out that she was actually his girlfriend many years ago! Didn't they say that she was dead? Why would it turn out to be Aunt Xiao? Do you think we should tell Terrance about this?"

Nathaniel paused slightly after he heard her words and he said in a low voice, "Why are you so concerned about the Hans family's problems?" Then, Mango suddenly sensed Nathaniel’s jealousy rising.

"Ahem, I'm just thankful to Mr. Hans for taking care of our parents and children, so stop overthinking it. Moreover, Madam Hans has been losing sleep over this issue, so don’t you think that I should tell them if I know something about it?"

"Have you asked Minister Xiao for her permission? Do you know whether or not she wants to be in contact with the Hans family?"

Nathaniel's words immediately extinguished Mango's initial excitement.

That was right!

Queena had saved Mango and she treated Mango very well. Other than letting Mango stayed at her house, Queena even cooked for her. Previously, Mango had asked her about the Hans family, but Queena was reluctant to talk about it. So, didn't that indicate that Queena was unwilling to discuss that part of her past?

If that was the case, wasn't it inappropriate for Mango to invade Queena’s privacy like this?

Thus, Mango suddenly felt that she must have been too bored in the villa to even think about doing such a thing.

"I'm sorry, Nathan. I might have been too bored being cooped up in this villa, and I didn't think this through."

"Don’t worry, the Hans family will solve this by themselves. If Minister Xiao really is related to the Hans family and wants to contact them, she will do so without your involvement. Right now, you just have a good relationship with her, so don't spoil that for the sake of the Hans family. They’ re not important to you, and plus, Terrance is a good friend of mine, so I don’t want any misunderstandings to happen between us, got it?"

Mango understood the hidden meaning behind Nathaniel's blustery words.

"I got it, you jealous monster. I didn't even tell Mr. Hans anything."

"You're calling me jealous? So what if I don't like you being close with Terrance? Other than Terrance, I’d also like you to stay away from Walter Song after you return home."

Obviously, Nathaniel was very possessive of Mango.

Mango smiled and said, "Are you going to have me stay away from all the men?"

"Well if I could, I'd build a tall tower to lock you up just to keep you away from other men."

"Hah, you wish!"

Mango could not believe that Nathaniel just said that, but it was clear to her that he was in a good mood.

"Is there any progress on the incident at the construction site? It seems that you're in a great mood."

"Oh, I'm always in a great mood whenever I hear your voice."

Nathaniel's sweet words were very effective on Mango. "Honey, I miss you. I really, really miss you, so when can we go home?"

Somehow, Mango still felt a sense of uneasiness in the pit of her stomach.

In fact, Nathaniel understood the feeling of helplessness in Mango's heart. Frankly, anyone would be unsettled if they were suddenly turned into an illegal immigrant.

"I’ll come and pick you up soon, just give me two more days. After that, we'll go home together."

"All right, I trust you."

Mango smiled gleefully, but her eyes showed a hint of loneliness.

If her identity problems could not be solved, she could never officially be Nathaniel’s wife. So, Mango wondered when these days of her being an illegal immigrant would end.

The two of them spoke for a while longer before Nathaniel arrived at his destination and got out of the car. Then, Mango said reluctantly, "I guess you have to go, but let’s talk again later, okay? Oh right, can you transfer some money to me? I feel bad to keep imposing on Queena, so I want to get her a present as gratitude for all that she's done for me."

"Okay, will do."
