The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1163

Wisdom stared at Desmond as he didn't quite understand what Victoria meant.

Did his father and mother hurt Desmond?

How was it possible?

Although he was baffled, he still took a few steps back subconsciously and looked at Desmond cautiously.

Suddenly, Desmond felt the pain searing through his heart.

"Don't be unreasonable, aunty. Give me the phone now."

Desmond stretched his hand towards Victoria and said this.

"No! I won't give it to you even if I break the phone today. You want this brat to call Nathaniel, huh? In your dreams."

After saying that, Victoria took the phone and was about to go outside, but Desmond blocked her way directly.

"Give me the phone!"

His voice sounded much grimmer now, and he looked terribly upset.

Victoria was shocked because of his current appearance, but it only took a few seconds for her to calm down. Then, she blew up instantly.

"You're such a nasty freak! How dare you reprimand me? Are you feeling brave now?"

Victoria was about to hit Desmond out of her old habit.

She thought that he would put up with her beatings like usual, but she didn't expect him to dodge her blows. Then, she lost her balance and slammed into the wall beside her. Thus, she had sprained her back because of the fall.

"Ouch, my waist! Josiah! Josiah! Desmond, the freak, is beating me. Can you deal with him?"

Even at this point, Victoria still remembered to slander Desmond.

However, Desmond didn't even spare her a glance. He snatched the phone from her and called Mango immediately. After that, he handed the phone over to Wisdom.

When Wisdom saw this, he froze for a moment. Then, he only regained his sense when he heard Mango's voice coming from the other end of the line.

"Desmond, what's up?" "Mommy, it's me! I'm Wisdom!"

Wisdom said hastily.

On the other hand, Victoria was stunned for a moment when Desmond had snatched the phone. Then she began to cry miserably and make a scene. Meanwhile, Desmond's eyebrows were knitted tightly. He lifted her from the ground and brought her to Josiah.

Josiah was furious when he saw that Victoria was so shameless.

"Are you done making a fuss? You have disgraced the Fang family completely!"

"The Fang family? How dare you mention this family? I wouldn't have married you if you weren't bragging about how great the Fang family was! Back then, so many people had wanted to marry me, so why would I marry you? What happened in the end? You coward, you can't even protect our daughter, then now you're yelling at your wife. Are you really a true man?"

Once again, Victoria started directed her anger at Josiah.

Then, the two of them fought each other again.

Meanwhile, Desmond felt as if his head was going to explode.

So, he carried Wisdom in his arms and went out of the hut.

Although Mango was a little surprised as to why Wisdom was with Desmond, she could still understand Desmond's current situation.

Then, she let out a sigh and said, "Wisdom, you should thank Mr. Blu for his help. I'll send someone to pick you up."

"No, I'll send him back to your place."

Desmond said straightaway.

Josiah and Victoria had been bickering daily for the past few days, and their arguments would definitely escalate into fights. Hence, the hut would definitely be in a mess soon. Therefore, instead of showing Mango this scene, it was better for him to send Wisdom back.

When Mango thought of Desmond's fighting skills, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, then, thank you."

"You're too polite, ma'am."

After Desmond ended the call, he looked at Wisdom and said calmly, "I'll take you back, but I don't have a car now. So, we have to walk."

"Perhaps we can borrow a car from someone."

Wisdom's limpid eyes blinked as he said.

"Who should we go to? Haha! I can't even borrow a car now."

Desmond laughed at himself in a self-depreciating

manner.

Meanwhile, Wisdom found Haniya's phone number on Desmond's phone, so he called her directly.

"Haniya, are you busy? Mr. Blu and I are in the mountains. Can you drive here and pick us up?"

When Desmond heard that Wisdom was calling Haniya, he wanted to stop him subconsciously.

He didn't want Haniya to see him in this pathetic state, but Wisdom was smarter, so he dodged his hands. When Desmond reached the phone, Wisdom had already finished the phone call. "Haniya said she would be here soon."

"Then, I'll ask her to drop you at your house."

Desmond wanted to hide subconsciously, but Wisdom grabbed his arms instead.

"Mr. Blu, what if I'm kidnapped again because I'm alone? Besides, Haniya doesn't know any self-defence skills!"

When Desmond heard what Wisdom said, he didn't know what to do anymore.

Meanwhile, it didn't take long for Haniya to get there. In fact, she wasn't even wearing a jacket!

There was a warmth in her eyes when she saw Desmond.

"It's so cold right now! Why didn't you wear a

coat?"

Haniya tried her best to suppress her excitement by asking this.

However, Desmond said calmly, "Aren't you a pot calling the kettle back?"

"Ah! That means that we're telepathic, right?"

Haniya replied humorously.

On the other hand, Desmond paused before he said, "Get in. Madam knows that Wisdom is missing, so she must be worried." "Okay, you drive the car then."

Haniya said this and passed the car key to Desmond right away.

Meanwhile, Wisdom smiled as he opened the back door and got into the car. On the other hand, Haniya went to the passenger seat.

When Desmond climbed into the driver's seat, Victoria happened to come out from the hut. She yelled at the top of her lungs as soon as she saw this scene.

"Desmond, I knew that you were an ungrateful brat. Who is that woman? Are you hooking up with her? Don't forget that you're Marissa's husband. Even though she has passed away, you can only be her husband in your whole life. Do you hear me?"

When Haniya heard this, she frowned slightly before turning around to look at Victoria subconsciously.

Victoria's hair was flying in the air, and she looked like a madwoman because she had been in a fight with Josiah just now. When she saw Desmond again, he seemed upset, but he didn't speak at all. Instead, he started the engine directly and drove away.

"Was that Marissa's mother?"

"That's right."

Desmond nodded in reply and pondered for a while before he said, "She is right. I will only have one wife in my life, which is Marissa, and other women are nothing to me. So, don't waste your time on me anymore. There are many better men than me in this world. My life is a mess now. What's more, I have to support Marissa's parents. Now, Mr. Ye even fired me and blacklisted me, so I can't find a job anywhere! Now that I'm in such circumstances, I can't accept your kindness."

He was being very straightforward right now.

On the other hand, Haniya was a little downhearted, but she said with a smile, "I don't care about that! I can pay for your expenses. If that's not enough, I can support Marissa's parents and treat them as if they're my own parents as

well."

Desmond would be lying if he said he wasn't touched.

He had never wanted to hug the girl before his eyes as much as he wanted to right now, but he couldn't do so.

No one else knew more than him how perverted Victoria was. After Marissa's death, this woman went ballistic completely. One could even say that she had lost her mind!

Hence, he could not allow Haniya to get involved in this mess.

"I've already told you everything I should say. So, you'll only embarrass yourself if you keep on pestering me."

There was a coldness to his voice when he said this, so he sounded emotionless and distant.

In fact, Haniya suddenly felt that she couldn't even feel any warmth, even with the air conditioning in the car.

"What if I insist on embarrassing myself then?"

For some reason, she fell in love with Desmond at first sight. Now, she didn't have any feelings for anyone else anymore.

However, Desmond had asked her to give up now. But, how could she do so?

On the other hand, Desmond didn't expect that she would be so persistent after he had talked to her so much. In fact, he began to saw some traces of Marissa in her.

After all, he had once rejected Marissa this same way, but didn't she still steal his heart in the end?

However, when Desmond thought about Marissa, he became upset.

No! He couldn't do this!

He couldn't allow Haniya to follow in Marissa's footsteps.

After all, Haniya would be in a worse situation than Marrissa. This was because, at least, Marissa still had her parents who loved her dearly. On the other hand, what did Haniya have?

She had nothing, and it had been hard for her to survive alone all this while. If someone else treated her badly because she loved him, how could he still be worthy of her?

Then, Desmond kept his lips tightly as he stayed quiet, but his behaviour and aura indicated that he was refusing her.

On the other hand, Wisdom was sitting at the back of his car, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh when he saw the two of them.

Gosh, adults were too hypocritical!

Wisdom lowered his head directly and fiddled with his clothes.

It was a pity that he had already used up that bottle of knockout incense, but the effect seemed not very satisfactory. The effect only kicked in after nearly one minute. Alas! It seemed that he needed to improve the formula when he went back.

After that, the three of time never said anything else. Soon, Desmond drove to the gate of the Xiao family's villa.

Meanwhile, the wedding banquet was still ongoing.

However, Desmond didn't enter the villa. Instead, he said to Haniya, "Take Wisdom with you. I'll leave first."

"Aren't you coming with us? Maybe Mr. Ye will his mind because you saved Wisdom."

After all, Haniya didn't want him to leave so fast.

However, Desmond gave the car keys to her directly and said faintly, "Mr. Ye isn't a person who changes his mind easily. Besides, he won't change his mind since he hasn't achieved his purpose."

"What purpose? What does he want from you?"

Haniya grabbed the edge of his clothes anxiously and asked.

Desmond looked at his clothes and replied with a bitter smile, "He wants me to leave Marissa's parents behind and live my own life from now on."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Haniya thought that Nathaniel was right.

However, Desmond looked at her and replied slowly, "Yes, it's a good thing, but how am I going to answer Marissa in the afterlife? I've promised her that I would take care of her parents for her and carry out the duty of a son. If I break my promise to her, how can I face her after I pass away?"

When Haniya saw that Desmond was so stubborn, she was worried and upset.

"But if you keep on doing this, they'll drag you into the depths of hell with them!"

"Then I'll go to hell then. Life is pointless for someone like me anyway. Haniya, I'll repeat it again. Don't waste your time on me. We won't be together in this lifetime. Please give up for your sake, as well as mine."

Desmond rarely had such a length conversation with Haniya, but she couldn't accept the outcome of this conversation.

All this while, Wisdom looked at them and couldn't help but shake his head.

Just then, Mango and Nathaniel appeared.

When they saw that Wisdom was safe and sound, they were elated.

Then, Mango scooped him from the ground and said excitedly, "You brat! Oh, God! You scared me to death."

"Mommy, I'm sorry. This won't happen again."

Wisdom hugged Mango's neck tightly and replied.

Nathaniel was also somewhat relieved when he saw this.

At this moment, a red dot flickered on Wisdom's torso. Then, Desmond went forward to push Mango and Wisdom away subconsciously. A bullet shot through the air abruptly and headed straight towards him.

Haniya didn't have time to shout a warning as she stepped forward to hold Desmond in her arms.

"Poof". Suddenly, Desmond could hear the sound of a bullet piercing through the human body. Then, he watched as Haniya fell slowly to the ground in front of him with a smile...
