The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Nathaniel had been harsh towards Pricilla ever since arriving at Angolla. Thus, Priscilla felt dejected and miserable.

She didn't do anything, and she had only changed her plans halfway. Urgh! Things would have never ended up like this if Mango didn't cross the line.

Sure enough, Mango Shen was very manipulative and scheming.

Priscilla glared at Mango with resentment at this thought.

On the other hand, Mango naturally knew what she was thinking. She tugged on Nathaniel's sleeve and said with a smile, "I'm fine. But why are you looking at Priscilla? Perhaps you're expecting her to cook for me?"

Although her words sounded like a joke, Priscilla found it unbearable.

This cunning b*tch wanted her to cook?

How shameless!

However, Nathaniel mistaken Mango's words and thought that she wanted to eat the food made by Priscilla. He couldn't help but say, "Priscilla is very good at cooking, and I haven't eaten the food made by her for many years. Hmm... I wonder if I'm lucky enough to taste it today?"

Upon hearing this, Priscilla was slightly taken aback.

She had indeed learned cooking for Nathaniel and was also willing to cook for him. However, it was obvious that Nathaniel had come over to teach her a lesson on for the sake of Mango. Although she felt uneasy, she was placed in a difficult position.

"You must be joking! Of course, I'd do it for you, right?"

"Well, my wife wants to try your cooking."

Nathaniel emphasised these two words 'my wife' once again.

Ever since they arrived, Priscilla had never addressed Mango as 'Mrs. Ye'. This was her way of displaying her disapproval towards Mango.

Nathaniel knew that he was going overboard as he was forcing Priscilla against her will, but he couldn't allow Priscilla to upset Mango.

After all, Mango wasn't involved in their past matters and did nothing wrong. Therefore, why should she repay the kindness that Priscilla had shown him on his behalf?

Meanwhile, Priscilla clenched her teeth and forced a smile.

"Sure, I'll make it for you then, Mrs. Ye."

Then, she turned around and left.

On the other hand, Maya was a little surprised because no one had ever treated Priscilla this way in the palace. Furthermore, she knew that Priscilla would not bow down for anyone. However, she was willing to suppress all her grievances and allowed herself to be mistreated in front of this man. At this thought, Maya took a few more glances at Nathaniel before following behind Priscilla.

"Princess, let me do it. You're part of the royal family, so how could you do the chores on your own?"

"It's fine, didn't you hear what Me. Ye said? He wants to try the food I make, so can be my assistant."

Priscilla had decided to look at things from a different perspective, so she felt a little happy.

She was willing to do anything for Nathaniel as long as he asked for it. On the other hand, she could just ignore the vicious woman's presence.

Meanwhile, Mango looked at how things turned out. She sighed helplessly and said to Nathaniel, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You know I didn't mean that." "Well, she should be respectful towards you! You are her sister-in-law, and this is a fact that cannot be changed."

Nathaniel didn't deny it as he didn't want to keep any secrets from Mango.

On the other hand, Mckenzie was surprised by how Nathaniel handled these matters. Mango had told her what happened between Nathaniel and Priscilla. Hence, she thought Nathaniel would be tolerant of what Priscilla did to his wife out of his gratitude towards her. However, Nathaniel did the opposite. He protected Mango with all his might so that she wouldn't be hurt.

Therefore, Mckenzie was envious of their relationship.

She couldn't help thinking of Barack again.

Barack used to be so polite and refined. She still remembered the first time they joined a school event and went for a hike. At that time, she had sprained her ankle and Barack even carried her down the mountain.

At that time, Barack didn't know her real identity, but he still her with kindness. Hence, she was attracted to him because of his good nature. Subsequently, Barack treated her the same way after finding out about her identity, and he did not obey her every order like what other men did. Hence, she appreciated their friendship even more

since then.

However, it was an unrequited love.

After all, an outstanding man like Barack eventually didn't fall in love with her.

If Barack had fallen in love with her, would she be as blissful as Mango was right now?

Mckenzie did not know the answer to this. After all, she yearned for somebody to love her, but she wasn't in her prime years anymore. Thus, she felt upset and almost cried her tears out.

"I'll go back to my room for some rest. Call me when it's dinnertime."

Mckenzie left immediately with the servant after saying this briefly.

On the other hand, Mango noticed the sadness in her eyes and asked concernedly, "Did anything happen?"

"Nah, maybe I'm tired."

Meanwhile, Nathaniel glanced at Mckenzie and smiled lightly. In fact, he knew what she was thinking. However, he couldn't say nor do anything because relationships were always complicated.

Oh, well. Mckenzie and Barack weren't destined to be together, so this was something that couldn't be forced. Even after so many years, Barack still had feelings for Magnolia. He wished her well even though he had suffered some disabilities.

The couple had suffered a lot too. If possible, Nathaniel also hoped that they could spend the rest of their lives together.

Seeing that Nathaniel was a little absent-minded, Mango pinched his waist playfully, so he couldn't help but frown in pain. "Honey! You're abusing me!"

"Sue me then!"

Mango glanced at him with her sparkly eyes. Alas! How could Nathaniel resist such a charming woman like her?

"Well, I can't do that, but I do have other ways to get my revenge!"

Then, he caressed and fondled her body as he said this. However, Mango immediately slapped him away when she saw this.

"Stop it! You have yet to give me an explanation. Did you do it on purpose just now?"

"Why are you still asking me about this when you know the answer yourself?"

Nathaniel couldn't resist his wife at all right now. After all, she looked particularly adorable when she was angry.

On the other hand, Mango was a little upset right now.

"You're trying to sabotage my relationship with her, right? Urgh! How could you do that during our first meeting? I just wanted to make peace with her"

"Peace? My dear wife, I noticed the tension in the air when you guys shook hands with each other. She just wanted to embarrass you! I witnessed it with my very own eyes, and of course, I had to protect you. Besides, what's wrong with her cooking for you? Shouldn't she serve you because you're here sister-in-law?"

Although his words were very convincing, it made Mango feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't try to fool me. You're afraid that I might hurt her even more if I attacked her myself, right?"

"What? Sweetheart, you're making things difficult for me."

Nathaniel complained immediately.

When Mango heard this, she pressed her lips together while trying hard to suppress the smile on her face. Right now, the displeasure she felt before had quickly dissipated.

After they sat down, someone came forward and serve them tea.

Then, Mango looked around and whispered, "I heard that Henry is here. Where is he now? Can I go take a look?"

"I'll go with you after dinner. Henry is one of my subordinates now, so we should take a look together just in case."

Nathaniel explained it vaguely because of the servants who was around, but Mango immediately understood what he meant.

"All right."

Then, the two of them drank tea and chatted happily.

Meanwhile, Priscilla was annoyed when she saw this scene.

What a scheming b*tch!

Was she trying to show off?

Mango wanted to prove Nathaniel's undying love for her. Thus, she held Nathaniel tightly and asked him to speak on her behalf.

When Priscilla saw this, she was even more displeased.

On the other hand, Maya had also noticed Priscilla's dissatisfaction. Thus, she had kind of figured out what was going on between the three of them after hearing their previous conversation. "Princess, should we put some poison in the food? You know that we can do it secretly without being noticed."

After all, the royal family always used this method to kill off people quietly, so they could do this easily.

Although Priscilla wanted to kill Mango, she changed her mind when she thought of Nathaniel.

"No. I'll win her in a fair and square manner. I'll make that she divorces Mr. Ye willingly as I'm not someone who kills!"

Maya was a little taken aback by her words.

People in the palace often resort to such means, but why did Priscilla turn down this idea?

Moreover, Priscilla was merciless, and she would use any means to achieve her goals. Hence, after hearing what she had said, Maya could tell that Nathaniel had a special place in Priscilla's heart. Maya thought for a while, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she quietly retreated to the side and helped Priscilla with the cooking.

An hour later, they had finally finished preparing the meal.

Meanwhile, Mango drank her tea and took a nap on Nathaniel's shoulder while waiting. However, she was still asleep by the time Priscilla served the dishes.

"Hush!"

Nathaniel carefully gestured for Priscilla to be silent as he sat on his spot with moving. On the other hand, Mango continued to lean on his shoulder while sleeping peacefully.

When Priscilla saw this sight, she was envious!

She couldn't stand Mango's behaviour. Although Nathaniel was uncomfortable, he remained motionless to avoid waking her up.

Well, Priscilla dreamed of being by Nathaniel's side as well. However, now that Mango had snatched happiness away, she was annoyed! Furthermore, Nathaniel even warned her to stay silent. It pissed her off, but she could only endure this.

Just then, they suddenly heard firecrackers coming from outside.

Mango immediately woke up when she heard this.

"Are you scared?"

Nathaniel quickly patted Mango's back while comforting her repeatedly.

Alas! Priscilla had known Nathaniel for so long, but she had never seen him being this gentle before!

Thus, she was stunned when she saw this scene.

However, Mango shook her head subconsciously and asked, "Why did they set off firecrackers during the day? Is there a celebration today?"

"Today is the National Day of Angolla."

Priscilla said bitterly as she couldn't stand Mango's ignorance.

Only then did Mango realize where they were right now. Oh, no! Her rival was still standing in front of her.

She sat up straight and smiled, "I'm so sorry! I was too tired that I actually fell asleep. Are you okay? Why didn't you wake me up?"

Mango glared at Nathaniel in annoyance as she said these words.

Then, Nathaniel said with a smile, "It's all right. My waist is numb. Maybe you can give me a message when we get back to our room." His words were somewhat ambiguous, so Mango immediately blushed red when she heard this.

When Priscilla saw this scene, she was more certain that Mango was a b*tch who used her s*x appeal to seduce and exploit men.
