The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 970

His familiar scent immediately enveloped Mango.

Mango subconsciously wanted to push him away, but Nathaniel held her hands tightly in his arms.

"Hey..."

Mango raised her head slightly. The corner of her lips brushed Nathaniel's thin lips, causing them to tremble with excitement.

Nathaniel's eyes darkened, and he swallowed a gulp down his throat. He suddenly held Mango's head and gave her a domineering kiss. Mango felt her toes curling at how good it felt!

Mango gave herself to Nathaniel in the end. They were completely immersed in their passionate kiss.

After that heated kiss, Mango went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Nathaniel stared at Mango's back. This was the first time that he had felt at ease since she had left him.

Warm water splashed down Mango's body. Her passion for Nathaniel was there, but she still felt disturbed by the secret that Nathaniel kept her away from. After all, she could not pretend that it had never happened, no matter what.

If Nathaniel really had nothing to do with that woman, why was he afraid that she would find out his secret?

Why did the woman die?

Mango felt that her relationship with Nathaniel was complicated because she couldn't let go of this issue. Thus, she couldn't help but sigh.

When she came out, a gleam flashed in Nathaniel's eyes.

"When will you go back to Ocean City?"

"I'm not planning to go back."

Mango flipped her hair.

Nathaniel found the hairdryer. Then, he came over to hold her long hair.

Mango paused for a moment, but she did not stop him.

This was what Nathaniel used to do before. He would blow Mango's hair while she leaned on the bed with her eyes closed. However, no one knew what she was thinking now.

Mango's hair was very smooth and silky.

Nathaniel had always liked her long hair, and he felt satisfied as he ran his fingers between her hair.

"Are you not mad at me anymore?"

"Well, I'm not sure. Maybe I still am. Perhaps I was never mad at you, and I just wanted to know the reason. Nathaniel, no matter what, you should stop hiding it from me. Although I believe you have not cheated on me, can you tell me what happened between you and the woman?"

Mango suddenly opened her eyes.

Nathaniel's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you? I asked her something, so we got together during that time. However, I never expected her to have feelings for me."

"What was it about?"

This was the most important question.

Nathaniel whispered, "It's about my company."

"Hah! I guess you still don't want to tell the truth."

Mango suddenly felt a little disappointed and upset. The two of them had just become one, but now they grew distant with each other because of this matter.

"I need to tune the zither. If you want to sleep here, go ahead."

Mango pulled back her long hair and wrapped herself in her pyjamas before heading to the study room.

She did not ask Nathaniel to leave.

However, Nathaniel did not know what to feel right now.

When Mango reached the study room, her mind was blank.

She thought about the matter, but she could not find any clues. Then, she thought of Lebanon.

Why did an A-lister suddenly pay attention to her?

Did Nathaniel and Lebanon know each other?

Mango knew Lebanon's personality well. So, why didn't he speak up when someone had beaten him up out of the blue?

It was probably because he knew who had beaten him up, and he was familiar with Nathaniel too!

However, Nathaniel had a powerful background. If Lebanon had been a normal person, he would drop this issue and forget about it easily.

Mango was searching for valid reasons inside her brain, but she could not find a reasonable one.

She was not narcissistic enough to say that Lebanon had fallen in love with her at first sight. Besides, this was not very likely to happen. After all, Lebanon was quite handsome, and he had met many gorgeous women. So, why would he be interested in a married woman?

Mango felt that she needed to figure this out.

Perhaps Lebanon knew the dead woman?

Upon thinking of this, Mango immediately became alert.

If her guess was correct, what relationship did Lebanon have with that dead woman?

Did he look for Mango to deal with Nathaniel?

Perhaps he wanted to get revenge on Nathaniel because the latter had killed that woman?

Mango furrowed her brows.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Rainie.

"Are you asleep?"

"Not yet. Did Nathaniel leave?"

Rainie sent a naughty emoji.

Mango's face turned red and hot.

Rainie was quick-witted.

"No, he'll probably sleep here tonight."

"Uh- oh! Poor me, you're gonna leave me alone again."

Mango felt that Rainie's replies were hilarious.

"Stop joking around. I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

Mango paused for a moment before typing on her phone, "Do you still remember the woman that was having an affair with Nathaniel? Um... She's dead now. I want to ask if anyone you know can help me to investigate her identity and background."

Rainie frowned slightly.

"Can't you get Desmond to do this for you?" "I don't want to get my people involved in this." Rainie immediately understood Mango's words. Mango did not want to let Nathaniel know that she was looking into this matter.

"You still can't get over that?"

"Well, yeah. I think that I'm missing something important. Besides, a big shot like Lebanon came looking for me suddenly. Don't you think it's strange?"
