The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 399

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Mango kicked Nathaniel weakly, but it still hit him with enough force.

She'd nearly been deceived by this man.

She was still exhausted, and yet this man still admitted that he'd taken Noah's medicine?

Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn't know what to do after being kicked by Mango.

"I'm telling the truth."

"Really, then explain to me. If you really took Noah's medicine, then what was that? Did the medicine not work or something?"

Then Nathaniel understood what Mango was talking about and he hurriedly said, "Of course not. It only works when I take it. You've not been at home recently, so why would I take it? If I did, I really might actually become impotent."

Mango turned away after she heard Nathaniel's words and remained silent for a moment before she said, "So, you didn't take the medicine with Andrea? Or did she feed you something else?"

"Neither."

Nathaniel sat on the bed and he felt like smoking, but he decided not to since Mango was here. Thus, he only twirled it in his fingers.

"What do you mean?"

In truth, Mango was very concerned about this.

Both she and Nathaniel were the same when it came to intimacy and their relationships. If Nathaniel had actually done something with Andrea, although it would be hard for her to split from him immediately, she'd never forgiven him.

Of course Nathaniel knew what Mango was thinking, and he pondered for a moment before he said, "Andrea used Dylan to give me a cigar laced with something to knock me out, and I was next to her when I woke up. The drug she gave me was strong, and I couldn't have done anything even if I wanted to. After that, the reporters barged into the room, so nothing happened between us."

Then Mango felt a sense of deja vu.

"Why do I feel like this scene is..."

"It was what happened to us back then, right?"

Obviously Nathaniel had thought of it too.

"If it was you, then I'd just accept it and marry you after. But if it's Andrea, then sorry, I can't do it. This tactic might work the first time, but it's not going to work a second time."

Mango's face had a light blush on it, but she asked, "But Andrea's in the hospital with vaginal tearing. How are you going to explain that?"

"I really did not touch her. When I left the room, I went straight to find Dylan. You can check the security footage if you don't believe me. As for whoever raped Andrea, she's trying to pin the whole thing on my head. I have no idea who did it."

"It's so strange that there's something you do not know about in Ocean City."

Obviously, Mango didn't want to forgive him go so quickly.

Hence, Nathaniel nearly raised three fingers to swear.

"I would never do anything to hurt you, Mango. My heart, my soul and my body are forever yours."

In fact, Mango was a little annoyed when she heard him say this.

She didn't want to hear this from him.

He seemed to be able to explain all those things away, but she still felt uncomfortable.

"The photos are real."

Nathaniel was quite surprised to hear her say that.

"What did you say?"

"I said that those photos are real, and I'm sure you know they're real too. If not, you wouldn't have fought Walter upon seeing them. That naked body is mine, but I really don't remember any time where someone could have kidnapped me and taken those photos."

That was something Mango failed to figure out.

Then, Nathaniel glanced at Mango and said, "I've thought of someone, but I don't know if it's related to her. But I've already had Thomas look into it."

"Who is it?"

"Edolie."

Thus, Mango was slightly taken aback by his words.

She'd nearly forgot about Edolie's existence, and she didn't want to remember either.

She'd saved Edolie, and Edolie had saved Rita's life. Alas, Edolie had been driven out of Ocean City by Nathaniel. So, it was very possible for her to want to seek revenge, but...

"I've never been alone with her, and it's very unlikely for her to have seen me naked and take those photos."

Mango gritted her teeth as she couldn't understand what's going on.

To be honest, Nathaniel couldn't figure it out either, but he cherished every moment he could spend with Mango here.

"I'll ask Thomas to keep an eye on this, and I'll work hard to find the culprit too. However, can we talk about you instead?"

"What's there to talk about?"

Then, Mango pulled a quilt around herself and she wondered why she felt so weak as she spoke to Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel realised that Mango was trying to distance herself from him and he gathered her up in his arms.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?"

Mango was frustrated as she was unable to break free from his grasp.
