The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 272

Meanwhile, Mango suddenly glimpsed the flash of determination in Eddie's eyes and her heart skipped a beat.

Could she have misinterpreted it?

Did Eddie have an interest in Nathaniel?

But Nathaniel and Edolie had just met.

Thus, Mango's heart was not at ease.

She was willing to rescue Edolie, but she was not generous enough to hand over her husband to Edolie. It would've been fine if she never found out, but Mango felt quite disgusted as she discerned Eddie's true motive.

"Hey Edolie, are you awake? You should come out and sunbathe if you're bored, it's quite enjoyable! In the meantime, my husband and I are tired so we've decided to rest in the tent for now.”

Nevertheless, Mango smiled at Edolie but it was insincere and distant.

Nathaniel was finally relieved when he noticed the change in Mango's demeanor.

It seemed that Mango was not that dumb as she was still alert to danger.

Nathaniel immediately carried Mango in his arms after he heard her words, and he walked past Edolie without sparing a glance at her, getting into the tent.

Meanwhile, Edolie was stunned as this was not what she expected to happen.

She was silently frustrated and she narrowed her eyes before she sat down in the same spot that Nathaniel and Mango were earlier. Then, Edolie seemed as if she was basking in the sun but her thoughts were a mystery to everyone.

After Mango and Nathaniel entered the tent, Mango's face was downcast.

Nathaniel smiled and said, "Are you feeling uneasy now? It's your fault for being so generous."

"When did you find out about it?"

Mango felt that Nathaniel had discovered Eddie's feelings for him long ago but he just hid it from her.

Honestly, Nathaniel was quite mischievous as he said nothing to Mango even when he knew that Edolie was trying to seduce him.

"Tell me the truth, you enjoyed it, didn’t you? I'm sure you love it when a teenaged girl falls for you."

Mango's tone was a little jealous.

Nathaniel feigned innocence and said, "What are you talking about? You saw how I treated her from the start, but now you're complaining?"

"It's my fault, all right?"

The more Mango thought about it, the angrier she became.

What did Edolie take her for?

Did Edolie think she was gullible?

Mango originally intended to ease Eddie's hardship, but she never expected to cause problems for herself.

It was fine when she didn’t know anything about this, but how was it acceptable for her to continue living with Edolie as she knew Edolie was after her husband?

"When will Merle arrive?"

"I don't know either as this depends on Zion's arrangements. To tell you the truth, I have no idea how that little brat will decide to show himself."

At that moment, Nathaniel felt rather helpless as well.

However, he suddenly felt that Mango looked adorable when she was angry.

"If you're really uncomfortable living with her, I'll just kick her out. There's plenty of wild beasts lurking around here, so later..."

"I'm not that cruel."

In the end, Mango was still too kind to do that to Edolie.

Mango huffed in annoyance as she looked at Edolie outside the tent. She said, "Have her leave immediately when our men arrive. After this, I hope we'll never see her again."

"Very well, I'll have someone send her away from Ocean City and forbid her from ever coming to Ocean City again, okay?”

Mango felt like she was a bit domineering when Nathaniel suggested that. It was because Edolie hadn't done anything bad so far, but she didn't intend on stopping Nathaniel either.

After all, Nathaniel belonged to her alone!

Mango had worked very hard to keep Nathaniel by her side, so she would not want to let go of her happiness because of an outsider.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel knew that Mango had actually agreed to his suggestion since she remained silent.

Mango had always been kindhearted, so she must feel uncomfortable even if she agreed to send Edolie away.

Nathaniel held her in her arms and said in a low voice, "Hey, I'm not going to fall in love with a kid though, so what are you afraid of?”

"I just want to get rid of her”

Mango’s voice was sullen as she spoke, and she possessively hugged Nathaniel.

Then, Nathaniel helpless replied, “Well, you brought this on yourself, you know?”

"So is it my fault now? Is it a crime to rescue someone?"

Mango felt extremely wronged.

Why was it so hard to be a good person in this society?

Nathaniel didn’t know how to explain it to her, but he whispered to her as he noticed Mango was in bad mood. "There's nothing wrong with rescuing people, but the most unreliable thing in the world is human nature. It would be great if she was grateful to you for saving her, otherwise, then it would be pointless for you to help her, right? Helping Edolie is out of your kindness, but it is not your responsibility. Don't make life so complicated for yourself. You're my wife even if you're heartless and cruel, it wouldn't matter what anyone else says as long I love you. Furthermore, kindness is subjective so don't beat yourself up when other people don't appreciate it. In the end, I'm hoping that you’ll cheer up."

At least Mango felt better after she heard Nathaniel' s words.

"Honestly, I feel like my kindness has backfired."

"Not necessarily, let's see what she does later. After all, we're still together so I doubt that we'll be safer even if we kick her out. If she behaves properly, everything will be fine. If she doesn't, then..."

Nathaniel didn’t finish his sentence but Mango could guess what he meant.
