The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

After Nathaniel left the room, Master Mo's call came.

"Stop the mine's operations. If possible, I hope you can go to Angolla to check up on my aunt's whereabouts."

Carlson pleaded for his help.

On the other hand, Nathaniel knew Carlson well, and the latter rarely asked for favors. Now, he had given up all of his dignity for his aunt's sake. Hence, Nathaniel agreed to his request since he was going to Angolla with Mango soon.

"Alright, send someone over to pick Barack and Magnolia up."

After all, Nathaniel knew that Magnolia could help them a lot, so he decided to bring her to Angolla. However, Mango had mixed feelings about it and thus he didn't want to put her in danger again.

Then, Carlson quickly said, "I've already gotten a helicopter, and it will arrive in five hours."

"I'll wait for them to leave before taking action then."

"Please be careful, and call me if you need anything. I will do everything I can for you."

After all, Carlson was willing to risk everything for his aunt.

Nathaniel nodded in reply.

After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel went to the bedroom.

On the other hand, Mango was still sitting on the bed with a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

Nathaniel asked as he was a little worried. He stepped forward and touched her forehead, but Mango grabbed his wrist suddenly.

"Are you getting tired of me?"

"What are you talking about? Why would I?"

Nathaniel was taken aback when he heard her question.

After all, Mango's words were too funny for words.

However, Mango refused to let go and said, "Then why did you run away when I said that I was willing to sacrifice myself?"

Nathaniel was speechless when he heard this.

"Have you been troubled by this problem all this while?"

"Yeah."

Mango nodded her head solemnly as she said

that.

Then, Nathaniel replied with a smile, "You're not in good health now. What if your body collapses? Stop overthinking, you silly girl. We can do it as many times as you want once you recover." "What? I...I never said anything about wanting to do it!"

Mango's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment when she heard what Nathaniel had said

After that, Nathaniel patted her hair with a smile and said, "Get up quickly. Master Mo just called. He sent a helicopter to pick up Barack and Magnolia. Now that Master Mo is helping us, I'm sure that Barack will recover quickly."

"Is that true?"

Mango was very excited when she heard the news.

She was most worried about Barack's mental health, so she felt reassured when she heard what Nathaniel had said.

On the other hand, Nathaniel could not help but smile when he saw Mango's delighted expression.

"Of course it's true. Barack will feel better with Magnolia by his side. Alas! I feel like the two of them should be together."

"I think so too."

Mango answered with a smile. Then, she remembered that she hadn't washed up yet, so she said hurriedly, "Alright, I'm going to wash up now. When will the helicopter arrive?" "Don't worry. It'll only be here in five more hours."

Nathaniel was concerned when he saw Mango jump down from the bed.

"Hey! Slow down."

"Nah, I'm fine."

Mango felt much better and quickly ran to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel shook his head and smiled.

Then, he ordered the servants to prepare meals for Mango and started flipping through the newspapers while waiting for her outside.

Just as Mango walked out, she saw Nathaniel reading the newspaper with a calm and peaceful expression.

"Hey! Guess who I am!"

Mango covered Nathaniel's eyes from behind while teasing him.

On the other hand, Nathaniel found her actions extremely adorable. He wondered if she would have behaved the same way if they were couples during their university days. "Hurry up! Who am I?"

"You're Mrs. Ye!"

Nathaniel was full of smiles when he said this.

On the other hand, Mango felt that she was acting a little childish. Why was she asking stupid questions like these?

"Urgh! This doesn't count! I'll try this again once we're outside!"

"Alright."

However, Nathaniel thought that she was very cute and lovable. He was even looking forward to it which made Mango speechless. "Don't you feel bored?"

"Of course not! Every day with you is exciting."

Nathaniel buttered her up with his sweet talk.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Mango's lips curled up involuntarily.

"Well, you have such a sweet mouth! Let's go inform Barack and aunt about the good news."

"All right."

Then, Nathaniel was dragged out of the chair by Mango. Then, the two of them soon arrived at Terrance's room.

After they had knocked on the door politely, Terrance's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

The two of them walked in and saw Magnolia peeling apples by the bedside for Terrance. On the other hand, Terrance didn't seem to push her away at all. Wait... did something happen?

Both of them never got along with each other in the past, but they were now sitting together peacefully. Well, Mango certainly didn't expect this to happen.

On the other hand, although Nathaniel was shocked, the surprised look in his eyes disappeared in a flash.

"What's the matter?"

Magnolia handed the apple to Barack and raised her head before asking.

She was full of smiles and happiness, and she looked like a woman who was terribly in love.

Then, Mango came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "There will be a helicopter coming to pick you up in five hours. Barack, Nathan has already arranged a therapist for you. We know that you're in a hurry to return to the Hans family. However, your mental state right now is unstable. Besides that, Mateo is currently out on a mission and won't be back for a while. So, will you listen to us for now?" Mango was afraid that Barack would reject this idea, so she spoke in a soft voice.

However, she didn't expect Barack to agree without a second thought, "Alright, I'll do as you say, but what about Magnolia?"

"Of course she is going with you! Besides, it's not safe for her to go back to Ocean City now."

On the other hand, Mango didn't bring up how the army superiors were investigating the soldiers. Also, she didn't mention the dangers that could happen to Magnolia before they could complete the investigation. After all, she hoped that nothing would happen to both of them.

Then, Magnolia nodded after hearing this. She was okay with anything as long as she could be with Terrance.

She had nowhere to call home, and she felt a sense of belonging after she had met Barack. Hence, she didn't want to lose him now that they were finally together.

When Nathaniel saw that they had no objections, he whispered, "Pack up your luggage, and someone will pick you up later. I've assigned someone to protect you round the clock for your safety, so you guys better get used to this."

Nathaniel said this even though he knew that Carlson had made plans. Although Santell Capital was the territory of Carlson Mo, no one knew whether Laborn's people would intrude in it. Hence, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Meanwhile, Magnolia seemed fairly used to it. She had been under surveillance for many years, so she naturally wouldn't mind.

On the other hand, Barack trusted their intentions, and he believed that they wouldn't harm him, so he agreed to the plan.

After making the necessary arrangements, Nathaniel left the room with Mango. However, he did not expect Magnolia to follow them. "Mango, wait a minute."

Mango stopped in her tracks when he heard Magnolia's voice. Then, she looked at Magnolia in confusion.

"Aunt, what's wrong? Is there anything else you need me to do?"

Then, Magnolia looked at Mango and asked in a low voice, "If we're travelling to Santell Capital, where are you guys going?"

"I don't think you should be asking this."

Nathaniel responded with a hint of coldness.

Well, Magnolia knew that Nathaniel did not like her. This was probably because she had concealed the truth from Mango, or maybe it was due to some other reason.

However, Magnolia did not stop asking about this.

"I guess you're going to Angolla, aren't you? After so many accidents, the Ye Family, the Xiao family, and even the Hans family are somehow related to Laborn and his brother, so it's impossible for you to let go of your hatred. Both of you are planning to get revenge, right?"

Magnolia looked straight in their eyes as she asked this, but Nathaniel frowned upon hearing her words.

On the other hand, Mango was afraid that Nathaniel would say something offensive, so she quickly replied, "Aunt, we just wanted to go out and take a walk. To be honest, we just wanted to travel there. I'm telling the truth!"

Well, regardless of whether Magnolia believed this explanation or not, Mango didn't want to explain anything else now.

After all, Nathaniel was in danger as he had received an important mission that was highly confidential. Therefore, they couldn't tell Magnolia anything. Even if Magnolia had managed to guess the truth, Mango couldn't let her know she was correct.

Well, these were the rules of the army.

Suddenly, Magnolia seemed to realize that Nathaniel had a special status. Her eyes darkened as she whispered, "Well, it doesn't matter whether you're planning to go there to travel or if you're planning to do anything else. I won't follow you there."

Her words made Nathaniel frown suddenly.

After all, Nathaniel didn't like Magnolia. Hence, he would always call out Barack's name affectionately, but he would always treat Magnolia coldly instead.

Alas! Magnolia was a selfish person!

She had probably grown up in a terrible environment, so she was selfish, and she never thought about herself. Therefore, she could always run away from issues that would only put her at a disadvantage. Hence, Nathaniel disliked Magnolia because of this.

On the other hand, he could tell that Mango treated Magnolia as a relative. This was especially true when Mango had protected Magnolia willingly when she saw how hopeless and vulnerable Magnolia was in the jungle. However, Nathaniel was displeased with how Magnolia refused to treat Mango the same way.

After all, he disliked everyone who was not genuine towards Mango. If he had a choice, he probably would all chase them away.

Upon hearing Magnolia's words, Mango smiled and said, "We never planned on bringing you guys, so you can just accompany Barack. You guys have been through a lot, and I hope that both of you can live a happy life in the future."

Well, Mango meant it when she said those words.

After hearing this, Magnolia's gaze softened. Then, she took out a map from her pocket and passed it to Mango.

"This is the map of Angolla's palace. Alas! That's all I can do."

Mango was quite surprised when she saw this, but she quickly took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, auntie."

"Let's go!"

After that, Nathaniel grabbed Mango's elbow and pulled her away from Magnolia. However, Magnolia said, "Mango, Nathan, I hope you can save Lebanon Fang."

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's brows suddenly furrowed.
