The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1108

Mango could not move at all. She could only watch Morgan giving herself an apologetic bow. Then, he straightened his body and said, "Last time Nathaniel came to the military region to settle his resignation formalities, I was too emotional and had said something unpleasant to you. I'm sorry."

Mango was startled by these words.

Mango did not know what Morgan said in exact as it was all passed to her from Esther. What was more, what Esther had told Mango was quite tactful, so she looked at Esther in confusion.

Esther sneered, "He's a straightforward man and one of his competent soldier is about to retire soon. Therefore, he asked me to persuade you to let Nathaniel stay in the military region. His tone was too harsh and I did not want to tell you everything. Butthat's what he meant."

Mango was surprised once again.

Esther was embarrassing Morgan in front of everyone.

Mango suddenly felt uneasy about it.

"Esther, Morgan, don't say that. It's Nathan's luck to have you to guide and train him. When he left the military region, I know that you must be upset. You're doing this just because you care for Nathan too." Mango's words made Morgan feel more ashamed of himself.

"Of course. I am indeed doing this for his own good. After all, he has earned himself a very bright future at this very young age. After he returned, he'll become a lieutenant colonel. You know, even the youngest lieutenant colonel is now in his forties, so it is rare for Nathaniel to climb up to this rank at his age. Also, in the future, he'll be fixed in a city, not much different from having a nine-to-five job. There are a lot of people who can't even reach this position for their whole lives."

At this point, he still felt that it was a pity for Nathaniel to leave just like this. However, Morgan's attitude and tone were gentler this time.

"As the chief, of course I don't want Nathan to retire, but Esther is right. Nathan does not belong to me or the army. He has his own family and life, and he also has his own right to choose what he wants. I feel sorry for his decision as the chief, but as his brother, I feel gratified. I'm sorry, I have thought through this matter. Whether you knew what I was telling to Esther or not, I have to apologize to you. After all, both of you and Nathan have suffered too much, and you have the right to pursue your happiness."

Upon hearing these words, Mango's heart instantly warmed up a little.

"Morgan, I didn't take it to heart."

"Sorry, I came here today to tell you about this. Now that I've finished, you girls have fun. I'll go out and take a look."

After that, Morgan left.

Esther looked at him and felt terrible.

Mango quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Alright, I'm not angry anymore. Why are you still putting on a straight face?"

Esther sighed, "Over the past few years, he has been promoted too quickly. There have been many people flattering him and sometimes, he'll get a little lost in it. Nathaniel's incident has made him sober. I'm sure there will be many hidden problems coming towards him as he is in a higher rank now. Plus, in recent years, he has become more domineering and dictatorial. Although everyone said that he is a tough and ruthless man, I know that it isn't a good thing for him. If someone wants to betray or scheme against him, it will be disastrous. Fortunately, this matter has kind of warned him that he needs to find his true purpose. So, I am relieved!"

Mango was slightly astonished.

She never knew that there was such a hidden issue in the military region.

Emberly looked at Esther and whispered, "Esther, has he been domineering these years?"

"Are you talking about being an autocrat?"

Esther smiled gently, and this made people feel serene.

Emberly nodded slightly.

"Yeah."

"Well, he is indeed a dictator. In many cases, he is a lot more straightforward than before. But after Nathan's incident, he locked himself up in his study for a night. When he came out again, he seems to be completely clear-headed. In this life, no one can say that they don't make mistakes, nor can they guarantee that they won't lose themselves. I know that he has lost himself in the recent years but fortunately, Nathan's incident woke him up."

Esther chatted with them casually. However, Genevieve and Emberly's faces changed slightly.

"Esther, is there something wrong with Morgan?"

Mango was at a loss.

Esther wasn't talking about that, was she?

It seemed that both Emberly and Genevieve were having the same expression.

Esther looked at Mango and said with a smile, "Don't be like this. You girls are gonna scare Mango. It's nothing. There will be some forms of competitions in the military region anyhow, so it's not a big deal." "Will there be any dirty schemes and plots there?"

Emberly and Eugene had different backgrounds as compared to them, so Emberly naturally would see the issue from a dark perspective.

Esther did not reply.

Mango immediately reacted.

"Then aren't we making trouble for you guys now? Esther, you can leave with Morgan first."

Esther smiled when she saw Mango's nervousness, "Everyone knows the relationship between the four of these men in Ocean City. Even if we don't come, can we distance ourselves from you? We are doing everything with our conscience. As for the others, I believe the superiors are not blind. Over the years, Morgan has done too many things for the country and the military area. They should know him well."

"But..."

Emberly wanted to say something but stopped after receiving a look from Esther.

Mango did not understand these relationships, but nevertheless she felt a little depressed.

Originally, she gathered everyone together for a fun time, but she did not expect things turn out to be like this.

Although she did not know what would be involved in this matter, Mango still felt that it had something to do with her and Nathaniel. She was not sure if she was thinking too much though.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Both Mango and Nathan have just returned from a trip. Let's talk about something happy instead!"

Esther changed the topic immediately.

Emberly and Genevieve also smiled and said, "We want to know what else you guys did apart from asking Nathaniel to dress up as a woman?" Mango suddenly became a little shy.

"Why should I tell you?"

"Ah! You're shy!"

Emberly smiled, "I remember that Mr. Ye has been vasectomized. Can it be used now?"

"I heard it's okay now."

Genevieve added.

Mango's face suddenly became hot from blushing.

"Can y'all stop talking about this? How indecent!"

"Oh? Are we?"

As Emberly spoke, she leaned against Mango and asked, "A real indecent one will ask about his size, his stamina and the duration, right?" Mango felt like kicking herself for calling Emberly over.

"Esther, do you want to join in?"

Esther was just smiling brightly.

"Come on, tell us..."

As soon as Emberly finished her words, she heard Eugene gritting his teeth outside.

"Do you have something to do with Nathaniel's size? Why don't you come back to our room and we'll discuss about this question together?"

As soon as he said that, the door was opened.

Eugene stood outside the door with a stinky face. Behind him were Nathaniel, Noah and Morgan.

Mango wanted to look for a place to hide herself at this point.

However, Emberly frowned slightly and said, "When did you learn to how to eavesdrop on the others, huh?"

"I must listen to everything you say."

Eugene went forward and carried Emberly on his shoulder. Then they left.

Then, the guys each brought their wives away.

Mango was a little worried.

"Nathan, they can't..."

"We don't need to care about what happened between them."

Nathaniel then closed the door.

When there were only the two of them in the room, Nathaniel said depressingly, "Never knew you girls are so wild with the questions."

"Isn't it the same as you men? You're lying if you tell me guys ain't talking about women's body all the time when y'all are together!"

"Uh-hmm!"

After Mango's retort, Nathaniel did not dwell on this matter anymore.

Mango leaned into Nathaniel's body and said in a deep voice, "Morgan came to apologize to me just now."

"I know."

"Nathan, I keep having a feeling that there are some troubles that Morgan is facing now, but they did not tell me. Is it because I am not the wife of the soldiers, so..."

"What are you talking about?"

Nathaniel interrupted Mango's wild thoughts and said in a deep voice, "It's not a big deal. Emberly is someone from the underworld, so there are naturally some things that she would be more sensitive to. Genevieve is a military doctor and has participated in military operations, so she knows a few things. Don't compare this with them. Actually, it's nothing big, really. It's just that our opponent has set up a few traps but Morgan will be safe. If he really needs our help, we can just give him a hand."

"Okay."

Mango nodded.

After a while, Mango fell asleep.

Nathaniel watched Mango fall asleep before getting up and walked out.

Morgan and Eugene had already placed the mahjong in the room. When they saw Nathaniel coming, they smiled, "How energetic of you! It's been two hours, man! Don't you see that Eugene is earlier than you?"

Noah's words made Eugene narrow his eyes. He said, "Ah! I had an hour-long great time with Emberly. Still better than you! You can't even touch your wife. Alas! Is she going to be in labor in four months' time?"

Seeing them bickering, Nathaniel did not interrupt but directly sat down beside Morgan and said lightly, "Although I am leaving the military region, I will risk my life to help you out if anything really happens to you." "It's not as serious as you think. Since you're leaving, let's make it quick. You don't have to worry about the military affairs."

His words made Eugene and Noah pause.

"Morgan, what happened?"

Noah's face suddenly became serious.

Although Eugene was a ruffian, but at this time he looked nervous.

Morgan looked at them and he felt comforted.

"Nothing, Nathan's ex is making a fuss."

It was until Nathaniel who felt uncomfortable now.

What? He did not know anything about this!

He really had no clue!

When he came back abroad, he had decided to retire from the military. He also thought that no matter what, he would accompany his family. However, it was not until recently that he learned that Morgan had some troubles.

If Nathaniel did not retire, he might be able to give Morgan a hand. However, if he retired, Morgan would have to fight alone.

Nathaniel hesitated and he was in a total confusion.

However, Morgan really wanted to know what he was thinking. With a smile, he said, "Don't be so sentimental. Don't ever try to look back. I have to do it on my own anyhow. It's quite wonderful without you. Just help me take care of my wife and children when it's necessary."

Nathaniel, Noah, and Eugene's facial expression changed suddenly.
