The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 356

Despite that Mango wanted to give in to Nathaniel's desires, he still refused to touch her and he went to take a cold shower instead.

Suddenly, Mango felt quite lonely without his presence.

The big bed felt empty without Nathaniel.

She rolled up the quilt and looked sadly at Nathaniel, who had just left the shower, and her gaze made him feel like he was a dirty sinner.

"Do you really want it that desperately?"

"You started it!"

Mango immediately blushed a fiery red.

Even if she wanted to do it, or that she felt lonely without him, she would never admit those things to him now.

Then, Nathaniel stifled his laughter as he gathered both Mango and the quilt into his arms.

"Wait for a few more days, okay? Your body can't take the stress. We still have our whole lives ahead of us, so waiting a few days wouldn't hurt right? I want you to be healthy for as long as we're together. When we're old, I'll hold your hand and we'll watch the sunset together. That's the life that I want for us."

Mango was suddenly rendered speechless.

What else could she say when her husband was so considerate?

"Come on and warm yourself up. You'll catch a cold that way."

Mango quickly pulled back the blanket, as if she was inviting Nathaniel into a trap.

When she realised what she just did, she blushed once more.

"Forget it. Just go and sleep in the study."

"All right."

Mango had originally planned to joke with Nathaniel, but she never expected him to agree. Hence, she was rather stunned.

"Are you really going to do it?"

Mango felt as if she was being difficult after she said that.

Then, Nathaniel replied with a smile, "I'm going to the study to take care of something. My body hasn't warmed up from the shower, so I don't want to make you cold too. You can sleep first, I'll join you later."

After that, he turned the air conditioning a few degrees higher before he left the bedroom.

Suddenly, Mango felt that the room was too big for her liking.

It felt like she'd been abandoned.

Hence, she didn't really know how to react.

Why did she feel Nathaniel's absence so acutely?

Had she grown too attached to him recently?

Then, Mango shook her head and sighed. After that, she hugged the covers and lay down.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel scent seemed to linger in the air of the room. Mango smiled as she lay down on the bed, and she promptly fell asleep.

On the other hand, Nathaniel found himself struck with a particularly strong bout of insomnia.

His body desired Mango greatly, but he couldn't touch her yet.

He still remembered how the doctor described Mango's dire condition was back then, and he couldn't seem to take his mind off it.

Soon after that, Thomas knocked on the door and entered.

"Mr. Ye."

"What's the situation with the media? Is there any news?"

"No, everything is fine."

Nathaniel's gaze became even more unreadable as he heard Thomas's words.

"Perhaps Walter doesn't have the guts to disclose this matter."

Thomas quipped as he recalled the relationship between Mango and Walter.

Nathaniel's gaze sharpened before he asked softly, "How is Andrea doing?"

"She's been crying and yelling all afternoon, but no one paid her any mind. Currently, she's worn herself out and can only manage a couple of groans here and there."

"Has anyone from the Hans Family gone to look for her?"

Nathaniel lit up a cigarette as he spoke.

His hair was still wet, and the drops of water falling from the strands gave him a strangely devilish aura.

Then, Thomas smiled and said, "The driver said that Andrea asked him to wait outside the mall for the entire day. When she didn't show up, he went to look for her but to no avail and that's when he went back to report it to Madam Hans." "Hm, I see that the driver knows his stuff."

"Yes, he's one of Mr. Hans' men."

Thomas's words made Nathaniel realise what was going on instantly.

Terrance was probably hoping that Andrea wouldn't show up, or better yet, disappear from existence.

"Starve her overnight and then toss her into the ocean. After that, it's up to her whether she lives or dies."

"Of course."

However, Thomas couldn't help but give Nathaniel a suggestion when he saw his boss smoke.

"You shouldn't smoke too much. It's bad for you, and Mrs. Ye might get worried if she discovers that you're in a bad mood."

"I know. Please tell Rainie not to tell Mango about the photos. If possible, I'd rather hide this from Mango forever. On another note, the only reason Rainie's caught up in all this is because of Mango. Don't worry, I'll make it up to her eventually."

"Mr. Ye, you don't need to worry about Rainie. She's my girl, and I'll deal with it myself."

Thomas's words stunned Nathaniel for a moment before he nodded.

"If you want to return to the Song Family, I won't stop you. You know that."

"Then, you should also know that I'm not interested in the Song Family."

Thomas and Nathaniel looked at each other and smiled. Thus, the friendship between the two men was evident.

After that, Thomas wisely left the study as he knew that Nathaniel still had some matters to attend to.
