The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 915

His entire life?

Mango was stunned by her remarks.

"Have you and Kolton known each other for a long time?"

"Yeah, we have known each other for more than 20 years. If it wasn't for him, perhaps I would have passed away. Over these years, he has always treated me the same. He did not get married nor have children because of me, so I feel bad for him."

That woman spoke in a depressed tone, and the atmosphere of the whole room was filled with sadness.

Mango paused for a moment before asking, "Did his parents agree to his decision?"

"His parents? Wasn't Kolton an abandoned child just like me? My parents abandoned me due to my body condition. I don't even know who my parents are. We met in an orphanage."

"I met him when he went to the orphanage to help some orphans. At that time, I was bullied by everyone and barely survived. It was him who saved me. If it wasn't for his presence, I might have already died."

As she spoke, the woman took out something under her pillow and passed it to Mango.

She smiled blissfully.

"Look, this is what he gave me. At that time, I didn't even know that I could play such lovely rhythms. He told me that I could play the best music in the world as long as I love it and want it. I believed in his words and kept practising this sheet music. Now that I can finally quit for a while. I know that I have a lot of shortcomings, so you point it out to me? You are the first outsider here after so many years. I guess that both Kolton and you are friends? No, that's not right. At his age, he can be your father. What is your relationship then?"

At the end of her words, her fingers were tightly twisting the quilt. It could be seen that she was both anxious and concerned about the answer.

She loved Kolton.

After ascertaining this matter, Mango hurriedly replied, "We're related to blood."

"You're relatives?"

The woman looked up in surprise.

"Yes, he's one of my husband's uncles. I should call him Uncle Ye too."

Mango looked into the woman's eyes, which were as pure as a baby's, and was reluctant to reveal the truth.

"I see. Kolton found his family, didn't he? He didn't mention it to me. I thought that..."

"Do you think that I'm his woman?"

Mango's words made the woman blush with embarrassment.

"Hah! I'm shameless, right? Urgh! I can't give birth to a child for him, and I can't even do what a woman should do. He can't have me, even though I know he desires me. I know that a woman like me shouldn't live in the world, let alone yearn for love. I just can't control myself. I know that I don't deserve him and shouldn't stop him from living his life. However, I think I will go crazy without his presence in my life."

Mango was stunned once again.

"What do you mean by doing things that a woman should do?"

The woman lowered her head somewhat shyly, but with a wry smile, she said, "I can't sleep with a man."

"What?"

"It's true. Once I sleep with a man, he will die miserably and bleed to death. That's why they called me a monster. Perhaps...they're right."

The woman turned her face away, and the tears that welled up in her eyes were extremely dazzling.

Mango was completely stunned.

This woman didn't have a genetic defect. She sounded like she was being poisoned!

However, she could not conclude her illness since she was not a doctor.

She whispered, "Well, let's stop talking about this. Has Kolton treated you the same way for twenty years?"

"Yeah, he let me live like a child, and I am happy with it. It's not that I don't know anything, but he doesn't want me to be defiled by the secular world. Thus, I'll be his mistress exclusively as he wishes. Hah... I don't even qualify to be his mistress!"

There was a trace of desolation in the woman's words.

Mango didn't know how to respond to that.

She had always thought that Kolton was wicked. For the sake of his greed, he had delved into the genetic mutation research. Now, she had an idea that perhaps Kolton had done everything for this woman?

Was this possible?

How could such a cold-blooded person, who was so ruthless to his family, go against the whole world for merely a woman?

If one said that he was coveting her body, Mango could understand it. However, this woman had said that they couldn't even sleep together, so Mango was truly shocked.

Was it love?

Kolton could love someone?

Mango didn't know how to express her current thoughts, but she still said in a low voice, "Let us talk about music."

"Alright."

While speaking of this, her eyes were radiant, as if she was the most dazzling star in the sky, and she was indeed eye-catching.

Mango could somehow sense that perhaps Kolton was truly in love with that woman.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Marrisa Aiken."

"I'm Mango Shen."

Mango introduced herself and also remembered Marrisa's name at the same time.

The two of them began to discuss the violin.

She had always thought that Marrisa was a self-taught violinist, so they probably discuss their thoughts on the violin. Little did she expect that Marissa was gifted musically.

Both of them chatted for a while until it was time to eat.

No one knew when Kolton had arrived. It had been a long time since he had seen Marrisa this excited.

Her eyes seemed to be filled with enthusiasm. Even her expression was filled with excitement while talking with Mango.

Looking at Marrisa before him, Koiton's eyes suddenly became slightly moisten.
