The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 273

At the same time, Edolie had realized the situation and she entered the tent immediately.

Mango looked at her and both of them were silent.

However, Mango's expression became serious.

The sound outside drew increasingly closer and Nathaniel hurriedly rushed back to the tent. Next, he wanted to use rocks to strike down the drone when he noticed it was flying around. But before he could do so, the drone flew low in front of him and a piece of paper was stuck to it.

"Mr. Ye, I see that you're waiting for me to rescue you."

The childish handwriting made the corners of Nathaniel's mouth quirk up into a smile.

That little brat!

Nathaniel flicked his finger at the drone which proceeded to fly away into the distance.

Edolie was rather surprised to see this, but Mango had figured out what was going on.

Then, she pushed open the tent and walked outside.

"Was that Zion?"

"Well, it seems like we won’t have to stay here much longer."

It was clear to Mango that Nathaniel was in a great mood.

"Who’s Zion?"

Nobody noticed Edolie exit the tent as she asked this question. To Edolie, if there was a chance that she could spend time with Nathaniel, then she would take it.

Mango's expression soured when she saw that.

She had already discussed this with Edolie, but the younger girl didn't get the hint. Edolie still wanted to stay close to them, and Mango couldn't stand it at all.

Nathaniel grabbed Mango's waist as he saw her expression before he said, "That little brat asked us to wait for him, so I think he'll be here soon.”

While he spoke, Nathaniel led Mango away without even acknowledging Edolie's presence.

Edolie frowned slightly and an indecipherable emotion flashed in her eyes.

However, she was not discouraged as she stepped forward and said, "Let me clean the fish."

Then, Nathaniel tossed the fish to Edolie without hesitation.

Edolie failed to catch it properly and the fish fell to the ground as it flopped around. Then, Edolie glanced longingly at Nathaniel, but he had brought Mango into the tent with him.

Inside the tent, Mango felt sorry for Edolie as she saw the younger girl try to capture the fish in a panic, but she did not say anything.

"Are you feeling sorry for her? Do you think I’ve crossed the line by doing that?"

Obviously, Nathaniel knew what Mango was thinking so he asked her.

However, Mango shook her head and said, 'T ve already talked it out with her, so it's up to her to make the decision on what to do next."

"When Zion arrives, let’s just leave her here to fend for herself."

On the other hand, Nathaniel was much crueler compared to Mango.

Mango was slightly stunned and she said softly, "That’s not a good idea, right? There's no food or water here, and it might cost Edolie her life if something bad happens. Actually, I just want her to stop going after you and I have no intention of causing her death.”

"Well, it's all up to you."

Of course Nathaniel knew Mango's character, so he wouldn't force her to agree since she was against the idea.

Then, he pulled Mango aside before he took out some biscuits and gave them to Mango, "Eat this so you’ll have the energy to walk later."

"Didn’t you ask Edolie to clean the fish?"

Mango was a little confused.

Nathaniel sneered and said, "She's the one who wanted to eat it, so she should handle it. I've been kind enough to catch a fish for her, do you think I should cook it then? She doesn't mean anything to me. Furthermore, the fish will be bland as there’s no seasoning here, so why not have some biscuits instead?"

Only then did Mango find out why Nathaniel had so casually given Edolie the entire fish. In fact, he had never planned to eat it at all.

"You're going to make her sad."

"You’ll be sad if she's not, and I can't bear that.

Hurry up and eat."

Mango was reassured by Nathaniel.

Then, Mango suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I have some biscuits with me as well. I found them in Nanny Zhang's cave."

Nathaniel frowned as Mango brought up the topic of the cave.

"I think that there's something else in that cave because Nanny Zhang would not hide there for no reason."

"What do you mean?"

Mango reckoned that finding the captured women there was already a huge discovery, so what else could there be?

Then, Nathaniel looked at Mango and said, "Do you still remember the shipment of goods that you told me about? That shipment couldn't have been those women, as the captain and crew would have surely discovered them. It's not easy to transport people and I don't know where these women came from, but I'm sure that the shipment of goods is here."

Mango' s brows furrowed as she listened to Nathaniel's words.

"If so, then we can no longer hide here. Since Zion and Merle are coming, does that mean we can escape?” "Let's wait for a while longer before we leave since the situation is still rather calm. After we leave, we have to get rid of Edolie immediately as all of this is confidential and it would be problematic if Edolie witnessed it."

Mango had no objections to Nathaniel' s suggestion.

If she hadn't noticed that Edolie was interested in Nathaniel, perhaps she would have made better arrangements for Edolie later on, but now she did not want to be involved at all.
