The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1175

"Mango?"

Nathaniel's immediately thought about Mango when he heard the noise.

He ran out quickly and saw Mango standing at the door of the painting room with a pale face. Apparently, she heard the conversation between them. Meanwhile, there was a broken teacup near her feet. "Don't move. Let me clean it up."

Nathaniel was a little worried, so he called out to her immediately. He then picked Mango up and put her onto the sofa in the living room.

Mango was still stunned.

The news was too shocking to hear!

She felt a little thirsty just now. After getting up, she did not see Nathaniel, so she came down. Then, she saw that the lights in the painting room were on, but she did not expect to hear such a piece of appalling

news.

Who was Barack Hans?

She had never heard or even seen this person before.

She had always felt that she was still lacking some information, but now, she found out that Barack was the last missing piece to the puzzle!

Mango's father was the eldest child. Then, Mateo was the third child, and Terrance was the youngest child. So, how could they forget about Barack?

She had always thought that the Hans family was a family of martyrs. In the past, rumours said that the Hans family's second child had died on the battlefield. After all, Terrance had retired because he broke his leg while fighting in the far, so she thought that Barack had died the same way her father did. Now, she realized that out of all the children in the Hans family, Dennis was the only one that had become a soldier.

Therefore, Mango felt terrible upon realizing the truth.

She didn't feel upset because Barack was still alive. However, she felt regretful because Dennis was the only one among the Hans family's sons who had sacrificed himself for the country. Right now, she felt even worse after hearing about their past relationships as well.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was afraid that the broken glass would hurt Mango. After he carried her onto the sofa, he said in a gentle voice, "Please sit for a while, and I'll clean up the broken teacup. Don't think too much about it, alright? We can't change anything that happened in the past. Besides, we're their children, so we should be glad that we know the truth. Also, we shouldn't judge them. I know you feel sad for Dennis, but now I'm concerned about you. Do you understand?"

When Mango heard this, she looked at Nathaniel, who was extremely worried about her. Suddenly, she was moved, and her uneasiness slowly turned into warmth. Then, she nodded her head. Nathaniel saw that she looked better, so he got up and went to find a broom to clean up the shards.

At this time, all the servants were already asleep. Furthermore, there was no need to wake them up just to clean a broken cup.

When Terrance saw that Mango had heard them, he sighed. He then pushed the wheelchair out of the painting room.

"Mango, I didn't want you to know about these things."

"But, I still have the right to know, Terrance!"

Mango looked at Terrance and exclaimed.

She could feel how upset Terrance was, but what else was he still hiding from her?

Nathaniel had questioned Terrance sharply just now, but the latter had evaded most of his questions. Therefore, it seemed that Terrance was still hiding some things from her.

After all, he had hidden the fact that Barack was still alive.

Furthermore, Barack was in Angolla!

Mango was stunned when she had heard this piece of critical information.

Furthermore, Nathaniel had mentioned something important. He had said, "Barack is quite powerful in Angolla now, isn't he?"

Why was Barack so powerful right now?

What kind of position did he have?

Was he the king?

Mango's body shuddered upon thinking of this possibility.

Could this really be this case?

Was Lebanon Barack's child?

Suddenly, Mango was petrified by her speculation as she felt that this was possible.

Meanwhile, Terrance looked at Mango's flickering face, and he fell silent.

Of course, Mango had the right to know the truth, but there were some things that he did not want to tell her.

Soon, Nathaniel came back after cleaning up the shards of the teacup.

When he saw that Mango was scantily-clad, he immediately went upstairs and brought a jacket before putting it on Mango.

After that, Nathaniel glanced at Terrance and said indifferently, "Terrance, what else do you want to tell us tonight? The weather is too cold. After all, you know that Mango has a weak body, so she can't stand the cold."

Nathaniel sounded he was nagging Terrance right now.

Suddenly, Terrance glanced at Mango. He knew that Mango really wanted to know the truth, but he could not say it.

"If you aren't feeling well, go back to your room and take a rest. I missed Barack a lot tonight, so I came here to have a look. I also know what you want to know the truth, but I've told you what I can, and I really can't tell you the rest. Leave now, alright? Goodnight."

After saying that, Terrance pushed his wheelchair and left.

"Terrance!"

Mango called out as she wanted to ask more, but Nathaniel stopped her.

"Nah, you shouldn't bother asking him. After all, he won't tell us anything because he doesn't want to do so. Besides, weren't you asleep just now? Why did you suddenly come down? Your hand is so cold, so let me carry you up."

After Nathaniel had finished speaking, h3 carried Mango upstairs.

Once they had returned to the bedroom, Mango was still feeling downcast.

"I always thought that my father had left my mom to serve in the military because grandpa had sacrificed himself the same way. I also complained about him being too cruel to my mother as he chose the country over her! But, he's also my father, so what else can I say now that he's gone? In the end, my mother chose to die with him in a fire. Even if he was a dead body, my mother still wanted to be with him. So I didn't hate him anymore. However, after listening to Terrance's confession, I never expected that I would learn that they had so many relationship problems!"

Mango exclaimed as she was depressed.

Mango was a woman, and she was also Queena's daughter. Hence, she had always felt sorry for her mother because the latter had lived a harsh life. When Dennis had left her mother to join the army, she had held a grudge against him, but she had always kept it to herself.

After all, she wanted to show some respect to her dead father.

However, she did not expect that things would turn out this way. Dennis must have been heartbroken back then, right?

After all, Dennis always thought the woman he loved wholeheartedly had an intimate relationship with his brother. However, he could not choose a side as he loved both of them. Alas! He must have felt extremely upset at that time! On the other hand, what could he do at that time?

He thought that if he exited willingly from their romantic entanglement, both Barack and Queena could live happily together. However, he never knew that the one Barack loved was Magnolia, not Queena.

At that time, Dennis was disheartened, so he joined the army as he wasn't afraid of dying. Well, maybe he felt so miserable that he would feel better if he died on the battlefield.

If Dennis hadn't faced so many problems, he wouldn't have passed away this young! After all, even if he had become a soldier, other people wouldn't have been able to trick him this easi Therefore, Mango was filled with hatred.

However, who could she direct this hate to?

Should she hate the one who had kidnapped Magnolia?

Or could she blame the gods for complicating their relationship?

Mango had no answers to these questions, but she still felt upset.

After all, she could still remember the last look in her mother's eyes. Her mother had been determined as she deeply loved her father.

They were a pair of lovers who were clearly in love with each other. However, in the end, they were separated forever.

Suddenly, a pang of sadness shrouded Mango, so she felt like crying.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel knew what Mango was thinking. Thus, he knew that she was in great distress, so he held her in his arms.

"Don't be sad, alright? They're already dead, so we can't do much for them except remember them forever. Today, we finally know the relationship between the four of them, so we've managed to gain something out of this. Mango, I know you love your mother, but Dennis and Queena are already gone. Also, we can't judge their relationship. The only thing we can do is to live a happy life and make ourselves happy. I'm sure that's what they want the most."

"Urgh! I know that, but I'm very upset. There weren't any home wreckers in their relationship, but they never got together because of all these misunderstandings. Furthermore, my father didn't know that he had a daughter until he died. My mother held a grudge against my father, otherwise, she would not have given me to the Shen family after she gave birth to me. But anyhow, they were both deeply in love with each other, weren't they?"

Mango's eyes were swollen as she said this.

When Nathaniel saw that Mango was still thinking about this issue, he could not help but hold her face and kiss her eyebrows gently. Then, he said softly, "Mango, everything is in the past now." "Yeah, I know."

Mango lowered her eyes and answered. She did not stop Nathaniel from kissing her, but for some reason, she felt like weeping.

"Argh! Why? Why did this happen? I've always hoped that I could have family members, but why do they make me feel sorry and sad?"

"Hey! Don't even think about this now."

Nathaniel's heart ached for Mango greatly.

However, Mango shook her head, and then she finally shed tears.

"Magnolia is doing this on purpose, right?"

She said these words with an exhausted tone as if she was trying to express how terrible she was feeling right now.

On the other hand, Nathaniel always knew that Mango was smart.

In fact, if Mango had not appeared at the door, she would have asked Terrance the same question.

How could all these things happen coincidentally?

After all, coincidences would only happen once or twice. However, all these issues were obviously not coincidences as they had all happened at the same time!

They did not know why Barack had to go abroad, but they were sure that they had met Magnolia by coincidence.

Also, When Barack saw Dennis and Queena together after he had returned home, how did he not notice that Queena and Magnolia were two different people?

However, what was weirder was that Barack, Dennis and Queena didn't notice that something was wrong. Hence, this was too suspicious!

After that, when Barack went abroad, he met Magnolia again. Hence, Nathaniel believed that Barack would have brought up Queena and Dennis' relationship with her.

If Barack had told Magnolia about this, Magnolia would have known that there was a woman who looked the same as her in her home country. Therefore, she would've naturally decided to return here to investigate this issue, right?

However, what did Terrance say?

He said that Barack and Magnolia did not mention the anything about Dennis and Queena to Magnolia.

Therefore, Nathaniel guessed that Barack should've asked Magnolia about this. Magnolia knew of Queena's existence, but she had deceived Barack to prevent him from finding out the truth. Therefore, Barack became involved in the toxic relationship. However, the other possibility was that Barack discovered that something was wrong and did not tell the truth.

However, Nathaniel could not think of any reason for Barack to keep the face that Magnolia and Queena were twins sisters a secret.

If it was the case, it only meant that Barack had forced Dennis to break up with Queena. Furthermore, he had made Dennis join the army. Hence, what would he get out of watching his sibling die on the battlefield?

Nothing!

Hence, the first scenario was more likely the truth.

Therefore, Magnolia kept these misunderstandings from Barack and stopped Queena and Dennis' relationship. What was more, she even indirectly forced Dennis to join the army.

However, why would she do that?

Even if Magnolia did not care about Queena's feelings, why did she have to force Dennis to enter the army?

Also, how did Dennis die while carrying out his mission?

Suddenly, Nathaniel shuddered at this thought.

It was because of Kolton!

Could it be that Magnolia had something to do with Kolton?

Suddenly, when Nathaniel remembered how Marrissa and Laney were related to the king of Angolla, he started shivering due to the cold.
