The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

It would be a disaster if Laborn found out that Nathaniel was hiding in Lebanon's palace!

At this thought, Nathaniel frowned slightly as he didn't understand why Laborn was doing this. Did he find out that Nathaniel was hiding here?

Wait... did someone betray him and informed Laborn about his whereabouts?

Suddenly, Nathaniel thought of Priscilla, but he immediately shook his head.

Even if Priscilla disliked Mango, or even if she picked on the latter, Nathaniel was still confident that she wouldn't betray him.

Then why would Laborn come here?

Nathaniel had no answers to this question.

Meanwhile, Lebanon didn't know about Nathaniel's concern at all. Instead, he had an indifferent look on his face, but a sarcastic gaze flashed across his eyes briefly.

Although Laborn said that Mango was an outsider himself, he didn't even believe his own son. Moreover, he still intended to intrude search through Lebanon's palace to find some evidence that his son was going against him?

Heh! This was the so-called fatherly love that he had mentioned.

What a joke!

Fortunately, Lebanon didn't get his hopes up just now. Otherwise, he would have felt heartbroken again.

On the other hand, Lebanon was confused when he noticed that Lebanon only sat at the side. Lebanon did not stop Laborn from doing anything, so the latter couldn't help but frown.

Did he make a wrong guess?

Didn't Mango and Nathaniel rescue Mckenzie?

Also, did Lebanon have nothing to do with them?

All kinds of questions flashed across Laborn's mind, while Lebanon was looking calm and unbothered. This was probably because he had no idea that Nathaniel was hiding in his place either. After that, patrolling guards quickly came in and began to search his palace.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was all tensed up.

Suddenly, he felt someone pulling his sleeve.

Nathaniel immediately turned around and wanted to counterattack. However, it turned out to be Mango.

"Mango!"

Nathaniel's heart was filled with surprise. He was relieved to have finally found her, but he was also relieved and nervous.

It would be great if Mango had appeared before Laborn arrived. However, they were currently caught up in a risky situation.

"Follow me then."

Mango seemed to know what he was thinking as she tugged at him gently while saying these words.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn't suspect anything and followed Mango out quietly. However, he was surprised when she led him into a secret passageway.

How did Mango know about such a place?

However, Nathaniel didn't ask anything. He confidently followed Mango out of Lebanon's palace. After walking out, Nathaniel saw a sweet girl standing outside. Then, the girl finally heaved a sigh of relief as both of them escaped safely.

"You're finally back! My father didn't find out that you were there, did he?"

Prisca asked with a concerned expression on her face.

However, Mango shook her head and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Since you are Lebanon's subordinate, it's my duty to protect you."

Prisca smiled faintly as she said this.

On the other hand, Nathaniel instantly realised the identity of the woman before him. However, he was a little surprised. How did Mango meet Prisca?

When Mango saw that he wanted to question her, she said softly, "Well then, Princess, we'll be returning back first."

"All right."

Prisca did not stop them from leaving.

After that, Nathaniel followed Mango into the room. When he saw that Mckenzie was safe, he couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"Mango, what's going on?"

Mango whispered in reply to his question, "When we were at the junction, Priscilla's men did not come to escort us. Instead, we encountered the patrol team. At that time, we didn't want to cause any trouble for Priscilla so we decided to stay hidden. Luckily, we were saved by Prisca. Prisca is one of Lebanon's allies, so you don't have to worry about her."

Mckenzie furrowed her brows lightly when she heard what Mango had said.

How could this stupid woman try to protect Priscilla? Didn't she realised that Priscilla was trying to harm her and replace her as Nathaniel's wife?

Oh, well. No one knew what Mango was thinking.

However, Mckenzie rarely interfered with other people's relationships.

Hence, Nathaniel was a little stunned when he heard this.

Wait... did that mean that Priscilla didn't do this?

He looked into Mango's eyes and muttered, "Mango, you're my wife. Do you still remember what I said? You shouldn't keep all the grievances to yourself, and you can tell me anything." "I'm not! I'm telling the truth. Look, if you don't believe me, you can ask Aunt Mckenzie."

Mango decided to drag Mckenzie into this conversation.

On the other hand, Mckenzie was speechless.

Why was Mango dragging her into this issue right now?

Was she going to deceive Nathaniel about Priscilla's true colours for the sake of this foolish woman?

"I'm going back to my room. You love birds can talk about this yourselves."

Mckenzie got up to leave after saying this as she did not want to get involved.

Well, Nathaniel was uncomfortable with Mckenzie's presence. After seeing her leave, he carefully examined Mango. He was relieved when he found out there were no injuries on her.

"Did Priscilla harm you in anyway?"

"No. She's your subordinate, so why are you suspicious of her?"

Mango directly denied it.

After all, Nathaniel owed Priscilla his life. Therefore, she didn't want him to fight against his saviour because of this. Furthermore, he felt that it was also unnecessary to involve Nathaniel in a fight between

women.

On the other hand, Nathaniel still didn't believe her words.

"Then why did you turn off your location?"

"I'm afraid that if you rush over here, we will expose Prisca's location. Everyone here thinks that she is innocent, and they had no idea that she was associated with Lebanon. She might get into trouble if her whereabouts were exposed! Besides, she was the one who told me about the secret passageway to save you."

While Mango was still chatting with Mckenzie in the room previously, Sina came in and said that

Prisca had something to tell her.

Although Mango was a little surprised, she still went there. It turned out that Prisca knew about her identity, and she also informed about Laborn's arrival at Lebanon's place. Then, Prisca said that Nathaniel could likely be in danger and led her to the secret passageway.

At first, Mango was still sceptical of her words. However, she became nervous when she heard Prisca mentioning Nathaniel's name.

She never thought that Nathaniel was actually there!

"By the way, weren't you at Priscilla's palace? Why did you come to my cousin's palace?"

Mango was surprised.

She believed that Priscilla would protect Nathaniel well, but she did not expect Nathaniel to run out.

"What? You weren't there, and you were missing. So, how could I stay still? I will never leave you alone in the future. No matter what the rules are, they're not as important as you."

Well, Nathaniel was worried when he thought about what would happen if Prisca had never saved Mango.

Mango was touched when she heard this. She leaned against his embrace said with a sweet smile, "I thought that you and Priscilla would have a lot to say. After all, it's been many years since you last met

her."

"Well, I can't do it while you're away. What if I say something wrong and you get all jealous?"

Nathaniel felt more at ease after reuniting with Mango, and he was even in the mood to joke around.

"I won't. My husband loves me so much, so what's there to be jealous about?"

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Nathaniel lifted her chin and forced her to look straight into his eyes.

"Tell me, did Priscilla harm you?"

Mango's heart skipped a beat when she heard this question, but her expression remained calm.

"What do you mean? You want her to harm me, don't you? Hah! I think you're actually planning on hurting me so that you can marry someone else."

Mango slapped his hand away furiously and pretended to be angry.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was slightly stunned by her reaction. He sighed and walked over to hug her before whispering, "Such nonsense! Look, you know I didn't mean that."

He had been with Priscilla for a very long time. Naturally, he knew Priscilla's personality better than Mango did. When Maya said that Mango was missing, he had made all sorts of speculations, and he even thought that Priscilla was involved in this. This was why he had been so anxious and flustered that he even said those mean words to her.

Mango had said that this wasn't Priscilla's fault as she had run away on her own, but Nathaniel didn't believe it.

In this palace, Henry was the only subordinate that Mango had. Now Henry was injured and unconscious while Lebanon's palace was also quite far away. Thus, the only people she could rely on were himself and Priscilla. Therefore, how could she leave on her own?

Something must have happened that had forced her to do so!

But why couldn't Mango tell him the truth?

Why did she chose to help Priscilla?

He suddenly understood it when he thought of his past relationship with Priscilla.

Perhaps Mango chose to hide the truth from him because she didn't want to ruin their relationship.

Alas! He never wanted to make her suffer because of him. However, it still happened, and he felt sorry for her.

Meanwhile, Mango didn't know what the complicated thoughts that Nathaniel had. So, she pouted and said, "I don't know what you're talking about at all!"

"Are you sure? Stop pretending."

Nathaniel approached her and bit her cheeks playfully while he teased her.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

After that, Mango pushed him away sulkily.

When did he become so childish?

Nathaniel chuckled softly when he saw this.

"Aren't you pretending to not understand what I'm saying? Let me teach you a lesson then!"

Wow! He had become so perverted suddenly!

Mango was embarrassed when she heard what he had said.

"Urgh! I don't want to argue with you anymore! By the way, you haven't told me the reason you went to my cousin's palace."

"I was looking for you."

Nathaniel answered frankly.

Mango had thought that this was the reason too. However, she still feel touched when he heard Nathaniel say these words on his own.

"It's too dangerous here, so you shouldn't walk around here alone anymore!"

"Then you can't leave my side anymore."

Nathaniel could never forget the intense fear he felt when he learned that Mango had went missing. Then, he held her hand tightly.

Mango nodded in reply after hearing what he said.

She would never leave Nathaniel again!

This place was filled with danger, and Priscilla was eyeing after her husband covetously. Hence, how could she let go of him?

"By the way, let's go back. Otherwise, Priscilla will be worried."

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel was stunned!

Did Mango just ask them to go back?

What on earth did this foolish woman intend to do?

Didn't she know that she would only be putting herself in danger willingly if she returned to Priscilla's palace?

"Mango Shen, are you f*king crazy?"

Nathaniel frowned as he said this. Meanwhile, Mango was left speechless by his comment.

He actually cursed at her!

Boohoo!

Should she pretend to cry because of what he had said?
