The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 777

Mango and Nathaniel arrived at the dessert cafe but Mango felt somewhat embarrassed as the customers who came to enjoy the sweet foods were all young couples.

She tugged Nathaniel's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Look... Most of the customers are teenagers or youngsters in their early twenties and it would be weird for us to have desserts here... should we call it off?"

Nathaniel looked around and said with a smile, "You aren't that old, are you? We're also in our twenties, isn't it?"

At that instant, Mango started laughing.

"You're verging on the age of thirty."

"Whatever it is, I'm not thirty yet and no one would be able to tell our age if we don't mention it. Look at you, you're so young and gorgeous while I'm handsome and striking, so we'll be a perfect match sitting together. Age is obviously just a number but I can rent the whole place or even buy it if you really feel uncomfortable."

"No! Don't do that as that's not what I meant. It would be nice to bask in the cafe's atmosphere and eat with everyone else, so don't make me look

like a nouveau riche as I can't stand it."

Mango was taken aback when she heard that Nathaniel intended to rent the whole store just for them.

"So, shall we go in or not? Are we still having desserts?"

Nathaniel looked at Mango as he asked with a smile.

At that point, Mango felt that he had done it on purpose.

"Nathaniel, since when did you become such a glib sweet-talker? Who did you learn this from?"

"It's my responsibility as a husband to treat my wife nicely and make her happy, isn't it? I'm certainly not a glib sweet-talker as everything that I've said are my heartfelt words filled with genuineness!

"Stop! Stop it...I'll really lose my appetite if you go on..."

Mango was moody before this but she felt much happier now.

She took a deep breath and entered the store with Nathaniel unashamedly.

Mango was afraid that others might judge her for having desserts here because of her age but she realized that no one paid attention to her after entering the cafe.

Nathaniel brought Mango to the seat by the window and they sat down.

A waiter came to them in an instant.

"Welcome to our cafe, what would you like to order?"

"We'd like two donuts, banana fritters, and..."

Mango stopped Nathaniel before he could finish his words.

"Sorry, my husband is ordering too much... Just give us a set of banana fritters will do."

"Alright, my lady, a moment please."

The waiter left with a smile.

Nathaniel looked at Mango and said with a beam, "Isn't a set of banana fritters too little? Even your daughter wouldn't feel satisfied with that amount."

"Come on, I'm not Rita and I'll need to go home for dinner later as I've promised my uncle to have dinner with them."

Nathaniel was slightly stunned after hearing what Mango said.

"You give me a feeling that we're single and that we aren't a married couple as you're still going home for dinner every day... Have you ever thought of me, your husband?"

Nathaniel said with a hint of coquetry.

At that instant, Mango started laughing.

"What's the matter? Why do I sense a trace of jealousy from you?"

"Mango, I'm trying to tell you that you've neglected me too much."

Nathaniel protested seriously.

Mango felt slightly ashamed after hearing his words as she indeed didn't care much about Nathaniel recently since she was busy with the design plan.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to deal with the Ye family's affairs? I'm giving you the time to do so now."

"Don't give me such an excuse, I'm sure that you are having such a good time with the kids at the Hans family's house that you don't want to come back anymore."

Mango was unable to refute Nathaniel's words.

Recently, Mateo and Terrace were taking good care of their children in the Hans family's house and she was really pleased as she could focus entirely on making the design plan.

"Alright, I'm sorry as it's my fault for not fulfilling my duty as a wife, so what now? Should I go get some groceries from the supermarket later and prepare dinner for you after we return home?"

Nathaniel's eyes lit up the moment he heard Mango's suggestion.

"How about you don't go back tonight? Your uncle will take care of the kids anyway, so why don't we spend the night together?"

Mango's face turned red with embarrassment in an instant as she hurriedly covered Nathaniel's mouth and glanced around. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief when she found that no one was staring at them.

"Can you be more reserved when we're outside?"

Mango glared at Nathaniel in a somewhat flirtatious manner.

However, Nathaniel said aggrievedly, "Am I not reserved enough? You haven't even seen my boldness... Why not we give it a try?"

"Come on! I don't want to live in embarrassment..."

Mango's face flushed red as she got really shy.

Nathaniel's heart skipped a beat and he leaned forward to give her a kiss as he saw how adorable she was.

Mango was so flustered that her face turned fiery red.

"Stop fooling around..." "Alright, I'll fool around with you only when we get

home."

As they were talking, the waiter served them a set of banana fritters.

Nathaniel's words were reverberating through Mango's mind and she lost her appetite all of a sudden as she looked at the dessert in front of her.

"I don't feel like eating it anymore."

"Come on, have a taste as it's delicious."
