The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 269

All of this happened so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard, especially Nathaniel.

He was stunned for a moment, along with Mango and Edolie, who stood nearby.

After that, Mango was the first one to react and she hurriedly wiped Nathaniel's face with her sleeve as she muttered sheepishly, "Sorry, I’m sorry, I wasn't paying attention, I..."

"Hurry up and drink the warm water!"

Nathaniel pushed her arm away from his face and he seemed not to care about the saliva on his face.

Because of that, Mango was even more embarrassed.

"Uh...your face is covered with my saliva."

“It's not like I haven’t tasted it before, so why are you being so dramatic? Hurry up and drink the water.”

As he said this, he was as if forcing Mango to gulp down the water.

On the other hand, Mango felt speechless.

Did Nathaniel not realize that there was another girl in the room?

How could he actually say that he had tasted her saliva before?

That sentence left a lot of room for ambiguous interpretation though.

However, Mango could not rebut his statement as Nathaniel filled her mouth with the warm water, so she could only drink it obediently.

The warm water flowed down her throat and her entire body was comfy immediately.

After Mango finished her glass of water, Nathaniel wiped the saliva off his face before he spoke flatly to Edolie, who was standing beside them. "You can pour it yourself if you're thirsty.”

Although Nathaniel’s attitude was cold and he didn't address her directly, Edolie still nodded gratefully. She quickly poured herself a glass of hot water as she tried to absorb the warmth from it in her hands.

Mango felt a little distressed when she saw Edolie like this.

"She's just a girl, can't you be more gentle towards her?"

"Mango, what are your intentions when you allow your husband to be gentle towards other women? Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat on you?"

Nathaniel glanced at her with an unhappy expression on his face.

At this, Mango became somewhat annoyed.

Edolie couldn't be older than eighteen years old, so wasn't Nathaniel being way too cautious around her?

"Do you think that you're the most handsome man in the world that every woman on Earth would fall in love with you?"

Mango mocked Nathaniel.

However, Nathaniel answered confidently, which made Mango blush furiously.

God, Nathaniel was so shameless!

Then, she secretly stole a glance at Edolie and she was relieved to discover that Edolie was not paying any attention to them. Instead, she was just quietly sipping on her water.

Mango still wanted to say something, but Nathaniel interrupted her softly, "I'm going to change out of these clothes, so just keep yourself warm under the blanket.”

"Do we only have one blanket?

Mango’ s gaze shifted over to Edolie without realizing it.

The younger girl was shivering in the cold, and she still looked quite pale even though she felt better after having the warm water.

Nathaniel glared coldly at Edolie before he turned and left the tent.

Thus, Mango felt that Nathaniel was perfect in every other aspect except for his coldness towards people that he did not care about.

Even though they had met Edolie by chance, was it so wrong to let Edolie warm herself up if they had the extra resources?

Furthermore, Edolie's situation was really quite pitiful.

Shortly after Nathaniel left the tent, Mango tried hard to stand up. She rummaged around the tent for a blanket, which she then handed to Edolie.

Then, Edolie was rather surprised but then she said in a low voice, "Thank you. However, I don't really need it because your husband might be unhappy when he finds out you did this.”

Although Edolie was young, she still noticed the fact that Nathaniel only took care of her for Mango's sake.

However, Mango smiled as she said, "Don't be bothered about him, he may seem cold but he does have a soft heart, and he's not very good at reassuring people. Quickly, go and warm yourself up with the blanket before you catch a cold. Otherwise, it’s going to cause a lot of trouble.”

Mango sneezed again once she finished speaking.

After that, Edolie took the quilt from Mango before she muttered, "You should have more hot water because I think you might have caught a cold. There doesn’t seem to be any medicine here, so you might feel worse if you don't warm yourself up soon.”

Only then did Mango realized that she felt rather light-headed and slow on her feet.

Before this, Mango just thought she was being coy after she met Nathaniel because she was no longer stressed out. However, Mango never expected herself to have actually caught a cold.

Mango nodded groggily before she returned to the bed and wrapped herself up with her blanket.

Then, Edolie poured another cup of hot water and handed it to Mango.

"Thank you."

"I'm the one who has to thank the both of you."

Edolie spoke in a very soft voice.

"It's rare for me to see a man treat a woman so well.”

Edolie was referring to Nathaniel.

Mango was slightly stunned before she smiled and said, "What’s so great about him? All he does is put on a cold facade towards everybody."

"Well, he came back to rescue you."

Then, Edolie pointed out the truth.
