The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 476

Meanwhile, Thomas focused his full attention on the changing room.

He really wanted to see how Rainie looked like in a dress. Although she liked to act tough, he knew better than anyone than Rainie was a huge softie on the inside.

On the other hand, Mango paid attention to the fitting room as well, but she was glancing at the back from the corner of her eyes.

Merle had already walked in, but the man behind him did not follow him. Instead, he walked past the boutique as if he had no connection to Merle at all, but Mango still felt that something was off.

"Madam."

Thomas was shocked to discover that Merle had arrived as he had not noticed at all.

Was there a lapse in his vigilance?

Or had he forgotten everything after placing his attention on Rainie?

Thus, Thomas felt a little remorseful for his actions.

However, Mango seemed to sense what Thomas was thinking and she muttered, "Your job now is to protect Rainie, so just leave me be. With the Dark Night Empire's protection, I'll be fine. Don't worry."

Thomas couldn't help but nod his head after hearing Mango's words.

After that, Merle sat down quietly beside Mango.

When Rainie left the fitting room, both Thomas and Mango were flabbergasted.

They had never expected Rainie to look gorgeous in a dress.

"What's wrong? Is it ugly? I feel awkward too, perhaps I look better in jeans."

Rainie couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed at their expressions. After those words, she moved to take off the dress but Mango quickly stopped her.

"No, it's great! I never expected it to look so good on you at all!"

Rainie was perplexed by Mango's comment.

"You're just saying that to comfort me, right?" "It's true, you can ask Thomas if you don't believe me. Look, he's gone all wide-eyed at you."

Mango burst into peals of laughter when she saw Thomas's giddy expression.

Rainie looked over at his stunned face when Mango said that and she instantly became shy.

No matter how tough a woman was on the outside, her reticent would still show upon facing the man she loved.

"Do I really look good?"

"Yes, you are beautiful."

Thomas didn't expect Rainie to look like a completely different person after changing into a dress. Honestly, he had no words to describe his current feelings.

Rainie bit her bottom lip as she saw how satisfied the both of them were, "But this dress is way too expensive."

"I already told you that it's a present. Just take it as a celebratory gift for finding a good boyfriend like Thomas."

As Mango spoke, she went off to swipe her credit card to pay.

Rainie moved to stop her, but Thomas wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me, we're in the public!"

In fact, Rainie felt that Thomas was especially affectionate today.

Although there weren't many people in the boutique, she still felt like all eyes were on her.

However, Thomas seemed completely at ease and he whispered, "You look so beautiful, Rainie. I can't take my eyes off of you."

Thomas was rarely ever this romantic, and his words brought a furious blush to Rainie's face. A rush of happiness filled her chest up to brim.

"Wasn't I beautiful in the past then?"

"You were, but you look even more attractive now!"

Thomas wrapped his arm around Rainie's waist while bringing her closer to him.

His warm breath caressed Rainie's face.

Meanwhile, Rainie realized what Thomas was about to do and she quickly grabbed his shirt. Furthermore, her heart was about to beat out of her chest by his action.

Her eyes fluttered closed subconsciously.

Thomas gently kissed her lips.

With that, Rainie's entire body trembled imperceptibly.

The feeling was so wondrous that it was absolutely surreal to Rainie.

Thomas continued the intimate gesture. When Rainie was embroiled in the kiss, he took the opportunity to knock her out swiftly.

He managed to catch her in his arms as she slowly sank to the ground. Thomas then looked at Mango, who had finished paying for the dress as well as Merle before saying, "Mrs. Ye, Captain Malthus, I'll be taking Rainie away now. Please take care."

"Be careful, okay? I saw someone follow Merle earlier, and it would be better if you could get them off your trail. If you can't, then return to the Ye's Mansion as soon as possible. We'll think of another way."

Merle was slightly shocked by what Mango said.

"Did someone follow me? Impossible."

However, Merle spotted the grave look in Mango's eyes.

He could not help but feel a little startled.

Who on Earth could follow him without him noticing?

Because of that, Merle's mood soured considerably.

Thomas nodded and he walked out of the boutique with Rainie in his arms.

Meanwhile, Mango watched as they left. Although she was reluctant to see them go, Mango knew that she would not regret this decision.

"Let's go send Rita and Zion to kindergarten."

"All right!"
