The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 948

Mango's body stiffened for only a brief moment. However, Nathaniel could still sense it.

"What's wrong?”

"I'm fine."

A faint smile swept over Mango's face as she released him. He could not fathom what was in her facial expression.

Although he was puzzled, he did not ask any further.

"Are you hungry? Let's go out to eat something.”

He wanted to step forward and hug Mango, but she darted away.

"I'm not really hungry. I'm just sleepy and want to sleep now.”

After that, she walked towards their bedroom.

Nathaniel was perplexed by her actions.

"What's wrong?"

"Nah... I'm just sleepy."

Mango did not say anything else. She trusted Nathaniel, but the perfume on his shirt made her feel uncomfortable, and she did not like it.

Nathaniel realized that Mango was upset, but he did not know what was going on. He could only follow her into the bedroom. At this time, Mango had already taken off her clothes and had laid down on the bed. In fact, she had turned her back to him.

He frowned and went to the bathroom without saying anything.

While taking a bath, he saw a lipstick stain on the collar of his shirt. He furrowed his brows again.

He could not help but think of Mango's attitude just now.

Was she upset because of this?

Nathaniel thought about it carefully. Perhaps, the woman in the club had left this lipstick stain on his shirt!

He stared at it with brooding eyes.

When he came out of the bathroom, Mango was still lying in the same posture. He took out his phone and called the manager of the club.

"Pass me the contact details of the woman who was selling liquor in Room 3087. She stained my shirt, and I want her to indemnify me. What's more, my wife was unhappy about this, so I need to take legal actions against her."

Then, Nathaniel hung up the phone and saw Mango's blanket moving a little.

He walked over beside Mango. The smell of the shower gel had diluted the strong scent of perfume, and he smelt fresh.

Mango subconsciously shrank away from him. However, he forced his lips against her mouth.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were uneasy? She was just a salesgirl who wanted to kiss me, and I ignored her. But I didn't expect her to leave the stain on my shirt. Don't think too much."

His voice was extremely gentle.

"Okay, I got it."

Mango's voice was muffled as she did not want to talk to Nathaniel.

She couldn't help but think of a clip that she had watched not long ago. It was said that when a woman was pregnant, her husband was prone to cheat. Would Nathaniel do that too?

Mango had refused to sleep with Nathaniel a lot of times, so she was worried that he was tired of her.

Nathaniel noticed that she was still upset, so he sighed, "Trust me, I won't cheat on you, alright?"

"Yes, I know. Let's goto sleep. I'm really tired."

After saying that, she seemed to have really fallen asleep. Her snores made Nathaniel speechless.

She had fallen asleep, but Nathaniel was tossing around.

He looked at Mango, who was sleeping soundly, then he habitually pulled the quilt to cover her body. He got up to turn up the temperature before grabbing his cigarettes and headed outside.

Mango actually did not fall asleep. She saw that Nathaniel seemed to have something on his mind. Also, she remembered his explanation on the perfume scent that lingered on his shirt. Doubts rose in her head. How could this be a coincidence?

She knew clearly what kind of person Nathaniel was. He had a cold personality, and everyone would flee as far as they could whenever they met him. Would such a man allow a salesgirl to come near him?

Mango thought it was funny.

Once a man started to lie, did this mean that he was about to cheat?

Mango had never thought that such an issue would happen to her and Nathaniel.

The two of them had been through thick and thin, but they could not escape from the tragedy of marriage. To cheat was a man's nature, wasn't it?

When Mango thought about this possibility, she felt emotionally suffocated.

Nathaniel was smoking outside, and he went through one cigarette after another. Looking at him, she felt awful for thinking too much.

She tried to empty her thoughts. However, that was harder.

Nathaniel stayed outside for more than an hour. He had a pungent smell of cigar when he came back.

He did not go near Mango. He only glanced at her from afar and realized that Mango seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Then, he quietly went to the bathroom and took a shower.

Mango narrowed her eyes and looked at his silhouette. She felt dreadful.

Suddenly, Nathaniel's phone lit up.

Mango looked up, and it seemed to be an address of a hotel.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Did that woman send this text?

Mango did not dare to move as she was afraid that Nathaniel would discover that she was still awake.

It did not take long for Nathaniel to come out from the bathroom.

He looked at his phone and frowned. He then stared at Mango. She seemed to be sleeping soundly, but Nathaniel still called out her name exploratory.

"Mango?”

She was still sleeping.

Nathaniel waited for a while. He then turned around and changed his clothes before going out.

As soon as the door closed, Mango opened her eyes, and drops started to well up from the corner of her eyes.

Was she right?

She wanted to follow him and take a look, but her ego told her not to. Besides, Nathaniel was always alert. Once she followed him, he would definitely find out.

Mango did not know what to do.
