The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 566

Mango sensed his guilt radiating off of him and she grabbed his hand. Then, she said, "What's wrong? Why do you look like you made a mistake? Are you having an affair behind my back?"

"How is that possible? I only have my eyes for you, and no other woman in the world can compare to you."

Mango felt delighted upon hearing his words.

"Stop it, you silver-tongued fox."

I'm serious. Don't you know how I feel for you?"

Nathaniel wasn't a sweet talker, and sometimes Mango even felt that he was a dull person. However, his flattery and sweet nothings made her feel loved.

"Although you're saying this, what if I die one day? Time heals all wounds, and maybe you'd forget about me in a few years time. Perhaps you'll fall in love again when a beautiful woman appears."

Mango made a tentative speculation.

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's expression suddenly darkened.

"Nonsense, we still have a long way to go. Even if one day we get old and sick, I will make sure that I am by your side. By then, the kids will be married and live their own life without us. I'll stay with you until the day we die."

Although he said it casually, but she still was shocked to hear it.

She knew that he would really do as he said.

What would he do if she really died in two days?

She had no idea what would happen, but she was obviously terrified.

She looked at him and muttered in a serious tone, "Nathaniel Ye, promise me that you will live well no matter what happens to me. Our kids are still young. They can't afford to lose their father after losing their mother. You can't do this, as I would rather you forget about me after I die, and then live a happy life. I don't wish that you'd follow after me to death and leave our children to become orphans. Promise me!"

She looked at him with a serious and stern gaze.

Nathaniel frowned slightly at that.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

She was slightly taken aback by his quick-witted intuition. Therefore, she hurriedly said, "What do I have to hide from you? Do you think that I would fall in love with someone else?"

"Don't change the topic. Why do I feel that there's something wrong with you? It sounds like you're telling me your last words."

"Nathaniel Ye, do you really want me to die?"

Mango suddenly became angry.

Seeing that, Nathaniel hurriedly said, "I don't! I wish to spend forever with you."

Did he want to be with her forever?

Could they really do it?

Bitterness filled her chest, but she pretended to be angry and said, "Then what do you mean by that? Why are you insisting that I'm saying my last words?"

"I didn't mean that. I just..."

"What are you trying to say? Let me tell you, I mean what I say. If you don't promise me, I will hide far away from you in my next life, so that you can't find me anymore."

Mango flung off his hands angrily and stomped away. However, her heart was already in the process of shattering to pieces.

Time passed so quickly, and she even wished that time would stop here. She hoped that they could stay together until the end of time, but was it

possible?

She had no idea at all.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was angry at his stupidity for making her mad.

He quickly ran after her and said, "Don't be angry, it's all my fault, okay? I'll promise you whatever you want, as long as you stop being mad."

"Really? You're the one who said it, yeah?"

Mango looked at him with a serious expression.

He nodded quickly.

"I promise."

"That's more like it."

Then, she suddenly started laughing.

Nathaniel shook his head and poked the tip of her nose affectionately, "Stop bullying me."

"You asked for it!"

Then, she threw herself into his arms, using them to hide the tears and reluctance in her eyes.

He stroked her long hair and said, "Well, I'll let it go. I'm willing to be bullied by you for the rest of my life."

"How long can a lifetime be?"

She couldn't help but ask.

Some people's lives were decades- long. In the past, she used to think that she could live forever with him until the day they died. However, it seemed that there might only be two days left in her life.

No one knew how sad and reluctant she was now. She even wanted to go back to see Rita and Zion as she yearned to take a second look at her two children that she gave birth to.

However, she couldn't do anything now.

Fortunately, Nathaniel was still by her side.

She was glad that she was spending her last moments with the person she loved the most.

However, he didn't know what she was thinking. Then, he said softly, "You can live as long as you want with me."

"Look at you. You're talking as if you're omnipotent and you can control time."

"Of course I can!"

Nathaniel suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her to the rose bushes in the backyard. Then, he took out her phone and turned on the camera. He adjusted it and focused it on their faces.

"Come on, smile for the camera!"

He looped his arm around her tightly.
