The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1164

"Haniya Bell!"

Desmond felt immense pain in his heart as if someone was ripping his heart out!

Then, he wrapped his arms around Haniya tightly, and his eyes started tearing up.

"No! Why did you do this?"

He seemed to be muttering to himself, but he also seemed lost.

Meanwhile, Haniya looked at the handsome man in front of her who was crying for her, and a smile blossomed on her face.

Right now, she was satisfied!

That was sufficient for her!

After that, Haniya fainted before she could say anything else.

Nathaniel was well prepared, but he didn't expect that Bernard's men would dare to launch an attack at Brantley's place. Then he waved his hand angrily, and some of the men of the Ye Family chased after the sniper straightaway.

"Get her to the hospital!"

On the other hand, Mango was really worried about Haniya, so she started tearing up.

That silly girl!

She knew Haniya had feelings for Desmond, so she hoped that Haniya would be fine this time. Furthermore, she also hoped Desmond would cherish Haniya and understand his own feelings.

Did Desmond have no feelings for Haniya?

That wasn't it!

He did love her!

Mango could tell this from the look in his eyes.

However, Desmond had always hidden his real feelings.

Furthermore, he had also kept to himself because he knew his own identity, so he always thought that he was useless. Hence, Marissa had been his light. Then, after she had passed away, he had continued living for Haniya's sake.

The sunlight was bright. Therefore, it would always shine on everyone who opened their eyes in the morning, no matter what. Thus, Desmond felt that this light had brought him warmth when he was going through the darkest period of his life.

However, Haniya was like oxygen that was silently permeating his lungs. Sometimes, he felt as if he could live without her. But once she went missing,

Desmond felt extremely upset and uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel did not allow Mango to go with them.

"Look, this is Walter's wedding. You can't leave now. Trust me, alright? Haniya will be fine."

Mango knew that Nathaniel would definitely have a solution to the problem. In fact, she believed that he would surely handle it well, but she couldn't help but be worried.

Suddenly, a pair of small hands held her palms.

"Mommy, Haniya will be fine. Although the bullet went through her shoulder, it didn't hurt any of her major arteries. Besides, we know so many doctors. As long as they can save her in time, she'll be fine." Mango looked at Wisdom's calm face and remembered how he had been kidnapped not too long ago. Now that he came to comfort his mother, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Wisdom, it's my fault! Alas! I didn't manage to protect you well!"

"Then, hug me tight, mommy."

Wisdom stretched his arms towards Mango and said.

On the other hand, Nathaniel said nothing as he watched Mango and Wisdom talking to each other. Instead, he took out his phone and called Eugene.

"I know you're not in Ocean City now, but your wife should be here. Eugene, please help me to save this person no matter what. I'll be indebted to you forever!"

When Mango heard Nathaniel calling Eugene and requesting Emberly to save Haniya, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, Haniya would be fine as she had the best international surgeon watching over her!

Soon, the car drove away quickly. Thus, the atmosphere around them quickly became calm again, except for the bloodstains on the ground. However, a trace of anger and cruelty flickered across the depths of Mango's eyes.

"Bernard Gaylord! Urgh! This man is despicable!"

"Yes, he hides in the shadows like a coward and wrecks havoc in our life from time to time. How disgusting! Don't worry! I'll make to snuff his out after the new year!"

Nathaniel wrapped his arms around Mango's shoulder while declaring this.

Meanwhile, it was snowing heavily outside.

Then, Nathaniel looked at the wife and children in his arms as he said gently, "Haniya will be fine since Emberly is operating on her. I know you are worried about her, but don't you think this is a chance as well? If Desmond can face his feelings head-on, this will be a great opportunity for him to get along with her, isn't it?"

"Are you trying to tell me to not disturb them? But Victoria, that b*tch..."

A look of disgust flickered across Mango's eyes at the thought of Victoria.

However, Nathaniel sneered and said, "Hehl I have ways to trap her in the hut temporarily, so she can't disturb Desmond."

"Alright, but don't go too far. You know how Victoria has been bullying Desmond all this while because she is Marissa's mother. If Desmond knows what you have done to her, he may not be able to accept it." When Mango thought of Desmond's promise to Marissa, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

However, Nathaniel smiled and said, "That's not true. Didn't you notice that Desmond has changed a little? He used to be like the walking dead because he had no goals in life. Now, he has feelings and emotions. Previously, Victoria managed to control him because he felt guilty towards Marissa. However, Haniya risked her own life to save him today, so do you think that he is someone that cold-hearted?"

After hearing what Nathaniel had said, Mango seemed to have understood something.

After all, Desmond felt guilty towards Marissa because she had died for him, but he could no longer do anything about it now. Thus, he would not allow anything to happen to Haniya because of him. So, he would once again pick himself up for Haniya.

At this thought, Mango smiled quickly.

"That's great! I really like seeing people who love each other getting together!"

"Haha! You're so silly!"

Nathaniel flicked her nose with his finger as he spoke fondly.

Meanwhile, Wisdom was forced to witness their loving interactions. He was a little speechless, but he couldn't interrupt them as well. When he saw that they had finally become quiet, he whispered, "Mommy, let's go in. I'm starving."

Yes, he had been kidnapped, and he had escaped all by himself. Thus, he was famished!

After hearing what Wisdom had said, Mango quickly brought her son back into the hall.

On the other hand, Nathaniel looked at his empty arms and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Mango was his wife!

However, she was paying less attention to him now

Then, Nathaniel shook her head before he followed her inside.

The room was still bustling with activities and excitement, and no one knew what had happened outside earlier.

Then, Mango brought Wisdom back to her seat. Wisdom was so hungry that he didn't pay attention to anyone else. Instead, he immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

When Mango saw that her son was wolfing down the food at lightning speed, she felt sorry for him.

"Hey! Take it slow. Don't choke on your food, alright? Drink some water."

All this while, Mango focused all of her attention on Wisdom, so Nathaniel was a little envious.

Soon, Walter and the others went to Mango and Nathaniel's table for a toast.

Then, Mango looked at Deborah, who was standing in front of her. Then, she couldn't help but congratulate Deborah sincerely, "Deborah, I hope that you and Walter will love each other forever! May you have a child soon too!"

"Thank you so much!"

Deborah was truly happy right now.

In fact, she couldn't believe that she was getting married, and she felt as if she was dreaming! At this moment, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist as a familiar scent enveloped her instantly.

Then, Walter looked at Deborah affectionately and told Mango with a smile, "Thank you for not liking me back then. Otherwise, I would have never known whether I could find my soulmate!" Mango replied to him with a sincere smile.

"Hey, don't think too much! I'm sure that my wife doesn't care about you at all!"

Before Mango could say anything, Nathaniel interjected directly.

Haha! Only Nathaniel would dare to bicker with the groom on the latter's wedding day!

When Mango saw this, she tugged at him because she felt speechless. Then, she smiled at Walter and Deborah before she said, "I'm sorry, he's a bit drunk."

"Heh! How am I drunk? I'm going to prank them in the bedroom later."

Nathaniel was very dissatisfied because of how Mango was smiling at Walter.

After all, Nathaniel was a handsome man!

Wasn't he enough for her?

How could she smile so brightly at Walter?

So what if they were just cousins?

He was jealous of both of them! So, why couldn't he be upset at them?

On the other hand, Mango felt that Nathaniel was really weird at this moment, so she quickly smiled and said, "Just ignore him."

However, Walter smiled smugly.

"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Ye. Are you planning to play tricks on us in the bedroom? Well, I don't know what you want to do, Mr. Ye. But I'll play along."

"Hah! Remember your words. Don't cry and refuse to accept our challenge later!"

Nathaniel looked at Walter scornfully while taunting him.

Suddenly, Deborah was a little worried.

She wanted to stop Walter from doing this, but she knew that Walter was someone that was easily provoked. Furthermore, he had always loved to compete with Nathaniel. Thus, after hearing Nathaniel's words, he patted his chest immediately and said, "Hah! If I run from your tricks, you can call me a scaredy-cat!" "Well, I hope you won't be a coward then. Haha!"

After saying that, Nathaniel turned his head around and left.

Deborah felt that Walter seemed to have fallen headfirst into Nathaniel's trap. Well, although she wasn't certain about this, she knew that her intuitions were pretty smart.

Therefore, she looked to Mango for help.

On the other hand, Mango didn't know how to respond.

Obviously, Nathaniel was setting a trap for Walter here!

So, she tugged at Nathaniel's sleeve and said, "Hey, that's enough! Walter is getting married today!"

"But, I have prepared a gift for him. How can I give him the gift without playing bedroom pranks on him?"

Nathaniel didn't say this out loud, but Walter and Deborah heard him clearly.

What kind of gift was this?

Why could Nathaniel only give them this gift in the bedroom?

He sounded too shady right now!

"Um... we'll go over to the other tables and propose a toast. You guys enjoy the meal, alright?"

After hearing this, Deborah quickly pulled Walter away with a terrified expression on her face.

"Hey! Why are you tugging me?"

Walter was a little perplexed as he didn't understand what was going on. However, Deborah said something in his ear, then he threw a glance at Nathaniel and left. Mango said helplessly after they left, "Um... I'm his cousin."

"I'm aware of that."

Nathaniel casually took Mango's chopsticks and placed some food on her plate with an upset expression on his face.

"Here. Have some of this."

"Nathaniel, Walter and I will never be together! How can you be jealous of everything and everyone?"

Mango thought of Nathaniel's petty behaviour just now and didn't know how to react.

However, Nathaniel said nonchalantly, "Hmm. It's good to be jealous. I'm sure that it'll improve your health too!"

"Oh, please!"

Mango scolded him with a smile directly because of his nonsensical words. Then, she bent down to kiss him on the face.

On the other hand, the other people on the table had enough of their public display of affection.

It was alright for Walter and his bride to be lovey-dovey because this was their wedding. But why were Nathaniel and Mango showing off their relationship right now?

Meanwhile, Wisdom still refused to look or listen at both of them. Thus, he continued to enjoy his meal without raising his head.

Well, he couldn't stand them being lovey-dovey with each other, but he could still enjoy the good food.

After Mango kissed him, she realized that her actions were a little inappropriate, so she immediately blushed.

"Ahem, let's enjoy the food, everyone."

As soon as she finished her words, Nathaniel grabbed the back of her head directly and kissed her in an instant.

"Hmm..."

Mango was utterly embarrassed!

Just now, she had forgotten about her surroundings as she was trying to please Nathaniel. Now, she had regained her senses, but Nathaniel didn't care about who was watching them right now!
