The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 409

This perfume had a special scent that most people wouldn't use. And in all the people she’ d known, there was only one person who would use this.

It was Andrea!

"Does this mean that Nathaniel went to meet Andrea?"

This thought made Mango feel very uncomfortable. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

When the rumours of Nathaniel raping Andrea spread like wildfire, she had really believed that Nathaniel wouldn’t do such a thing. However, it was something that was stuck at the back of her mind. Even though it wasn't true, it still bothered her.

Nathaniel was bathing relaxingly without knowing how upset Mango was.

Mango drew the curtains and watched as the waves crashed on the beach. However, she felt suffocated. No matter how she tried to breathe in the fresh air, she still felt uneasy.

"Why did you open the window? Aren’t you cold? You might get sick again."

Nathaniel asked worriedly when he saw Mango standing in front of the large French window that rose from the floor to the ceiling.

The sea breeze blew through her long hair, making her look elegant yet distant. He couldn't tell what was going through Mango's mind, and it made him feel uneasy. He didn't like this feeling of not knowing what she was thinking.

"What are you thinking about?"

He hugged Mango from behind.

The droplets of water on his hair dripped onto his bare chest.

Mango quickly closed the window and scolded him, "Why didn't you dry your hair before coming out? What if you catch a cold?"

"I can't wait to see you."

Nathaniel rested his head on Mango like a child. The faint scent of body wash on him relaxed Mango.

"Go sit on the bed and I'll help you dry your hair."

Mango didn't have the slightest ability to resist Nathaniel when he was so cute like this.

"Okay!"

Nathaniel grinned happily as Mango ordered

him around.

After she found the hairdryer, Mango stood by him and dried his hair with a hairdryer.

Nathaniel's hair was very soft, unlike that of the other men. His hair was even silkier than Mango's that it made her jealous.

She took a closer look at Nathaniel. He had distinct features and a sharp jaw. However, it was his phoenix eyes that never fail to mesmerize her.

As he hugged Mango tightly and laid his face on Mango's stomach, the warmth of his breath tickled her. At the same time, a tingling sensation spread throughout her entire body.

"Don't joke around. Behave yourself."

There was a hint of hoarseness in Mango's voice.

Nathaniel, however, laughed evilly.

"Are you feeling better?"

As soon as he asked this, Mango knew what he was implying. It made her shy and her face turned into a deeper shade of red.

"No, I'm exhausted. Don't put any weird ideas in that head of yours.."

"That's not a weird idea. I'm discussing it with you, aren't I?"

While saying that, Nathaniel's hands started

to roam Mango's body.

Mango felt as if her entire body had been ignited. Even so, she hit him lightly and said, "Stop it, I am really tired."

Seeing the dark circles under Mango's eyes, Nathaniel finally stopped himself.

"I have to ask my mother how to let you recover as soon as possible, or I'll surpress my desires to death."

When Mango heard this, she glared at him and said, "Don't you have another woman to accompany you?"

"Hey, I don’t! I have high morals, I would never do such a thing."

Nathaniel immediately retorted.

Oh god!

Such nonsense!

Furthermore, why would Mango say something like this? Nathaniel was shocked when he heard this coming from her.

Mango could see the innocence in his eyes. She had wanted to ask him about whatever happened with Andrea, but she stopped herself.

"I'm just saying. After all, everything the media has been reporting recently was about you."

"Why would you believe what the media says?"

Nathaniel said with a faint smile, "My love for you is true and unchanging..."

"Stop it!" Mango shouted.

Mango couldn't bear to hear his cheesy words.

"Are you jealous?"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night."

In the past, Nathaniel would never use sweet words. But with Mango, it was like second nature to him. He would sometimes wonder whether that serious and slow-witted guy in the past was really him.

After Mango finished blow drying his hair, she asked, "What are we eating other than chicken soup?"

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Being happy that Mango wanted to eat something, Nathaniel stood up and was about to head to the kitchen. However, Mango stopped him before he could move.

"It's okay, you just took your shower. I can just get Sisi to make something. You don’t have to spoil me like this."

"You’ re my wife. Of course you should be spoiled and do whatever you like."

Nathaniel truly wanted to give Mango all he could.

Mango was touched by his words. It even made her feel guilty for doubting him earlier.

"Don't be so good to me."

"Who should I be good to then?"

Nathaniel felt that what Mango said was rather weird.

After putting on his pajamas, he went off to get Sisi to prepare something else.

Looking at the empty bedroom, a feeling of loneliness swept over her. She didn't know why she was feeling this way.

The scent of Nathaniel still lingered in the air, but why did she feel so lonely?

She sighed and sat down. Then she turned on her computer. Looking at the picture of Susie, she wondered where she was and it irritated her.

She had always hated troubles of any kind. But why did she have so many problems knocking on her door?

Thinking back to what happened five years ago, Mango wondered why the matter was revealed after so many years if Susie had taken part in it back then?

Was it just to avenge Macy?

But what did Macy's death have to do with her?

John was a member of Walter's casino. No one knew who Mango was on her first day there. However, her location had been exposed immediately after Nathaniel looked for her.

Was John targeting her, or was he following Nathaniel?

Mango's mind was in a state of chaos. She couldn't figure out a clue, no matter how hard she tried.

Today, Nathaniel had obviously met Andrea, but he didn't say anything about it. Why did they meet? Did Nathaniel look for Andrea to know about Susie's whereabouts? Or was it Andrea that looked for Nathaniel?

The media had been focusing on the scandal between Nathaniel and Andrea. It was impossible that nothing had happened.

The more Mango thought about it, the more frustrated she became. There were so many things that she couldn't understand.

During dinner, Mango was lost in her own thoughts.

Nathaniel noticed this and asked her about it. Mango dismissed it and told him to stop asking. Of course, Nathaniel let her be but he still felt uneasy about it.

This was just how Mango was. She would only tell him things when she wanted to. It was no use probing for it.

He couldn't figure out why Mango was so worried. He thought it was because of Susie and John. He said softly, "Don't worry, Walter will give me information about John. By then, we'll be able to find Susie."

"Alright."

Mango nodded her head but didn't say anything else.

Since Mango only took a few bites, Nathaniel had lost his appetite too. After dinner, they took a short stroll in the garden and went back to bed.

That night, Mango was unusually quiet and it made Nathaniel feel anxious.

He knew Mango had something on her mind, but he couldn't figure it out and he didn't sleep well either.

The next day, Nathaniel left after a phone call.

Mango didn't even bother to ask him what it was about and stayed home alone.

She couldn't go anywhere now and it was inconvenient for her to investigate anything. She didn't know what she could do to make

things better.

"I can't just sit here and wait for things to get better on its own."

Although Mango knew that Nathaniel had been trying his best to prove her innocence, she didn’t like hiding like this.

It seemed that she had to find a way to divert the public's attention.

Just as Mango was contemplating on what to do, her phone rang.

That was weird. She had just changed her phone number, was it someone she knew?

Who could this person be?

Mango hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Mango, how do you feel? Does it feel good being the person that everyone hates?"

A familiar voice rang out, causing Mango's brows to furrow slightly.

"Susie! You finally showed yourself."

Mango didn't know why, but she suddenly felt much more relaxed.

If she didn’t hear from Susie, she would not know what she was scheming. But now, since Susie contacted her, it means that Susie was losing her patience.

As long as Susie lost patience, she would be able to get an answer.

When Susie heard Mango's calm voice, she could not help but say coldly, "Do you really think that Nathaniel will protect you for the rest of your life? Or do you think that a man's vow is so reliable? I hope you don't believe that. After all, Nathaniel had a scandal with Andrea even after saying he loved you."

"What are you getting at? Just get to the point."

Mango quickly connected the phone cable, hoping to find out Susie's location.

However, Susie wasn't easy to deal with either. She had probably guessed that Mango would do this, but she just smiled and said, "Yesterday, Andrea and Nathaniel met. Did you know what they

were talking about? You are such a fool. My daughter, Macy, was tricked by Nathaniel before and you're going to be the second one. Very soon, you'll see how stupid you are to trust him."

After saying that, Susie hung up.

Before Mango could search for Susie’ s location, the signal got cut off.

Mango had to admit that Susie was really cunning.

Mango told herself not to take Susie's words to heart. After all, Susie's plan was to make things difficult for her. However, it didn't stop her from feeling uncomfortable with what she had said.

Was Nathaniel' s meeting with Andrea yesterday planned by Susie? Or was it Nathaniel's idea?

Nathaniel knew that Mango couldn't stand anything happening between him and Andrea. So why didn't he tell her anything about it?

She told herself to believe in Nathaniel, but the smell of Andrea's perfume kept coming back to her. And this made her more confused than ever.
