The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 271

Now, Nathaniel had started to become rather concerned.

"You're right, Rita will be in danger if we don't go back. But since I haven't returned, the surgery can't be performed, so it might not be as bad as we think. Now, I’m hoping that Merle will bring his men here as soon as possible.”

"How did you get in touch with Merle? I wanted to send you guys a message when I realized the signal was jammed.”

Mango had no words to describe the situation when she talked about it.

To Mango, it seemed like she had been isolated in a box where she would be abused at any time. That feeling was quite depressing.

However, Nathaniel said coldly, "Have you forgotten? This whole island is mine, I can jam the signal and I can also unblock it. After I came back, I realized that the entire base was a mess and the signal was jammed. I managed to get a message out of here when I went to the security department. I realised the security guards were not at their posts, so I reckon that Zion would've gotten the message by now."

"You actually contacted Zion? But he's just a child."

Mango felt that Nathaniel’s expectations towards their son might be a little too high.

When Mango mentioned Zion, Nathaniel spoke with a sense of pride, "You' re the only one here that treats him like a child. Furthermore, I have no idea how to get in touch with Merle so I can only contact Zion. Plus, I felt uneasy as the call didn't go through, so that’s why I decided to come back."

Mango was rather surprised when she heard Nathaniel’s words.

"Do you think Zion is very capable?"

"You have no idea how capable our son is, especially when it comes to computers. Honestly, I think he might supersede my skill in a few more years.”

"I think you're just exaggerating. Zion is just a young boy."

Although Mango said so, her lips quirked up into a smile secretly and she seemed very happy and proud of her son.

Nathaniel realized that he loved Mango even more as she was contradicting her own words.

Thus, he found that he might tend to be masochistic. If not, why would he have fallen in love with Mango?

The two of them sat outside for a little while longer before Nathaniel carried Mango back into the tent in his arms.

Then, Mango whispered, "It's fine, I think we better stay outside and let Edolie sleep for a while longer. I think she hasn't slept for long because she has very dark circles under her eyes, so we would just disturb her if we go back to the tent now."

"That is my tent. Don't you think she's overstaying her welcome?"

Nathaniel was really quite annoyed now.

Right now, Mango was sweating as she was wrapped up in the blanket as well as Nathaniel's warmth. Her cold had lessened somewhat, but Nathaniel did not dare to be careless.

Mango muttered, "She is only a teenage girl, so why are you so inhospitable to her? If you really dislike her, why did you save her in the first place?"

"Aren’t you the one who saved her?"

The meaning of Nathaniel's words were very clear. It meant that he would have never taken on a burden like Edolie if Mango hadn’t insisted on doing so.

Mango smiled when she heard his arrogant tone and said, "Yes, of course, Mr. Ye only saved Edolie for my sake, and I'm super grateful to you, okay?"

"Are you going to just thank me verbally?"

"What else should I do?"

Mango felt that Nathaniel was becoming increasingly roguish.

Then, Nathaniel leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "How about you repay me with your body?"

"Ugh, get lost!"

Mango punched him, but it had little effect on Nathaniel.

Nathaniel grabbed her hand as he said in a low voice, "I really do want you, so how about we do it out here in the wilderness?"

"Oh God, you wouldn’t dare!"

Mango felt that her face blush a furious red.

Oh no, Nathaniel was becoming increasingly indecent.

What should Mango do now if she was aroused?

Nathaniel laughed cheekily as he saw Mango's expression and his hands began to roam all over her body.

Meanwhile, Mango could feel the heat radiating through her body as she begged for mercy, "Stop it, Nathaniel, I said stop, or 1'11..."

"You’ll what?"

It was obvious that Nathaniel was teasing her.

Then, Mango bit Nathaniel's finger in a fit of anger and she said, "If you don't stop, I'll bite off your finger."

"I’d prefer it if you bite me somewhere else."

"Ugh, get away from me!"

Mango pushed Nathaniel away, but she failed to remember that both of them were wrapped up in the same blanket. Next, she fell on top of Nathaniel in a heap together with the blanket.

Nathaniel smiled smugly.

"I see, so this is what you like. It's no wonder you're my wife Mango, you're so dominant.”

"Stop it! Stop talking!"

Mango immediately reached out to cover Nathaniel' s mouth.

She felt like Nathaniel's mischievous tongue had always caused her to feel embarrassed.

Nathaniel held on to Mango's slim waist in fear of her falling to the ground. His eyes were filled to the brim with loving tenderness, and warmth rippled through Mango’s chest at the sight of it.

Meanwhile, Edolie had woken up some time ago and she spotted Nathaniel and Mango were exchanging loving looks from inside the tent. Right then, Edolie felt a mixture of surprise, admiration as well as disbelief.

How could there exist such a loving couple?

Were they really husband and wife?

Were they not secret lovers then?
