The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1188

Mango was slightly stunned. She was surprised, but she didn't feel any uneasiness and walked towards the person.

"Well, I guess your skills aren't too bad, after all."

Mango looked at Magnolia's pale face and said.

Then, Magnolia looked at Mango and coughed before replying softly, "If it weren't for these lifesaving skills, I wouldn't have been able to survive until now."

"When did you find out that I was following you?"

Mango asked in surprise.

She had learned these stalking skills from Nathaniel. Although she was not as excellent as the experts, she was still quite good at following others. However, she didn't expect to be outsmarted by Magnolia. Then, Magnolia looked at the gloomy sky and whispered, "Just a moment ago. However, I didn't expect you to follow me this far. So, you were quite good."

Mango accepted the words of praise immediately.

"Is that Grandma's tomb? How do you know that

she was buried here?"

Mango asked curiously without showing any displeasure.

Then, Magnolia looked into Mango's eyes and sighed before saying, "Mango, I will only cause you trouble if I continue to stay here. Furthermore, that person is powerful, so you should let me leave." "Hah! Now you're worried about troubling me? Why didn't you think about that when you first came to me? I'm sure that you considered this too since the beginning!" Mango mocked Magnolia as she said this.

Then, a complicated expression flashed across Magnolia's gaze, and she answered softly, "I would have stayed if we never had our earlier conversation. But you hated me so much, how could I..." "Are you afraid that I will harm you because of my parents? Nah, I won't do that. Anyway, you are the only family that grandpa has left. I don't care if you're trying to use our family, but I can't really abandon you After all, now that you're injured, it won't be easy for you to leave alone. Besides, do you know the person who assassinated you? It must be someone you know since he managed to land an attack on you." Mango looked calm and indifferent, but she was still paying close attention to Magnolia's expression.

Suddenly, a hint of coldness flashed across Magnolia's eyes.

Well, it appeared that Mango had made a right guess.

"Come on! Why don't you come back with me? After all, it's safer for you to be in Ocean City. Besides, I'm a member of the Hans family, Xiao family and the Ye family's wife, so why should I be afraid of more trouble? After all, I'm already involved in these three troublesome families!"

Mango spoke faintly. She did not say these words emotionally, but it seemed that her heart has softened.

Then, Magnolia gazed at her for a long time before she suddenly sighed and said, "You're very similar to your mother. I still remember the way she spoke to me when she first found me. She looked at me and asked me to go back because our parents would forgive me no matter what I did. Well, you have the same cold attitude as she does. I thought that she acted this way because she disliked me, and our parents were the ones who had ordered her to bring me back home. Thus, I didn't accept her offer then. However, some mistook her for me and poisoned me. When I returned home, she told me to not blame myself because she could withstand the pain! Also, she told me to not be afraid because I wasn't alone. At that time, I finally realised how stupid I was!"

Mango had mixed feelings when she heard Magnolia's words.

After all, she hadn't fully gotten over Queena's death yet. Therefore, although Magnolia wasn't a good person, she still couldn't bear to leave the latter alone.

Meanwhile, Magnolia knew what Mango was thinking. Thus, she couldn't help but laugh bitterly and say, "Let me go. I know you have a lot of trouble coming your way. Although you can protect me, here are some things that I have to handle myself. After all, I have to face these obstacles myself. So, even my sisters can't take this fate away from me."

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned cold. Thus, her cold aura caused Mango to frown slightly.

"Who was the one who hurt you?"

"It was Bettany Zhang."

Magnolia's eyes flickered, and she clenched her palms tightly as she said this.

After all, she could not believe that Bettany had betrayed her!

Urgh! Bettany Zhang!

Both of them had spent their childhood on that deserted island. Thus, Bettany was the one who had been by her side as she went through those traumatic incidents.

In the past, Magnolia could have given up her life for Bettany!

However, her stupidity had come back to bite her in her face!

Heh.

At this thought, Magnolia raised her head and looked at the gloomy sky as she blinked her tears away.

After all, why should she bother crying about this?

After all, both of them had survived through that hellish training, so how could she have trust Bettany so easily?

She was foolish enough to believe that her childhood friend would have a trace of pity and kindness.

Therefore, Magnolia was suddenly enveloped in a gloomy aura. Furthermore, it was raining, and there was a graveyard behind her, so everyone who saw her acting this way couldn't help but feel upset as well. Meanwhile, Mango didn't know what to say. Finally, she muttered in a low voice, "Your injuries are quite severe. I'm afraid that if you were alone..."

"I suffered more serious injuries before, and I survived as well. After all, I'm a trained professional killer, and some people have even called me a devil! Heh! How could I hope for other people's love? Now, I almost lost my life because I wanted to be kinder to others. Alas! I deserve this punishment indeed!"

Magnolia said these words emotionlessly, but Mango felt like tearing up after hearing this.

"Well, I still think the same way. I'll be here for you, so you can look for me whenever you need me. Although I don't like you, I won't let you die."

Mango said these words sincerely.

When Magnolia heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Perhaps she hadn't expected Mango to be so frank, so she smiled sincerely for the first time.

"I'm your aunt and your mom's biological sister. I admit that I did take advantage of you and the Hans family to look for Barack in Angolla. Furthermore, I wanted you to help me regain my lost authority." When Magnolia said this, she paused for a moment because her wounds hurt too much.

Meanwhile, Mango wasn't furious anymore as Magnolia had confessed her sins. Well, if she was standing in Magnolia's shoes, she would probably do the same too.

Therefore, Mango couldn't help but feel bad for the woman standing in front of her.

After all, Magnolia looked younger than Quenna, but Mango was a little touched because Magnolia blamed herself greatly for her past mistakes.

Although Mango knew that she shouldn't believe Magnolia easily, she was still biased as Magnolia was her relative.

Then, Magnolia heaved a sigh of relief and said, "But now, I want to use my own ways to take back everything that I have lost."

Although Magnolia's face was still pale, she had said these words with a determined glint in her eyes.

After that, Mango looked at her and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"I will look for you when I need your help."

"Then you have to hurry up because I'm going out on a trip with the kids today."

Magnolia was stunned when she heard what Mango had said.

Right now, Magnolia was a little confused. Mango had been cautious around her, but she was willing to tell Magnolia her whereabouts now. Wasn't she afraid that Magnolia would do something to her?

Perhaps Magnolia could tell that Magnolia had her doubts, so she said, "If you want to do something to me, you should plan it well. Well, I won't follow you around since you don't want me to do so. Luckily, my husband and daughter haven't eaten breakfast yet, so I have to go back. Make yourself at home, alright? Oh, right, I would appreciate it if you could tell me something about Barack. However, I won't force you to do that if you want to. After all, I can find this information myself."

Magnolia understood the meaning behind Mango's words clearly. If she took the initiative to tell Mango about this, this would mean that Magnolia thought of Mango as her niece. However, if she chose not to do so, Mango would still be fine with it.

At this thought, Magnolia paused for a moment.

In the past, she never thought that Mango was someone powerful. After all, she thought that Mango was an ordinary woman that ended up as Nathaniel's wife because she was lucky. If Mango wasn't this lucky, she would've been working as a painter or a normal girl. However, Magnolia finally discovered that there was something different about Mango. This was because Mango was brave enough to stand by Nathaniel's side confidently. Hence, Mango wasn't as weak or gentle as she had thought.

When Magnolia thought about this, she smiled. Her smile was sincere, and she was even a little worried about Mango.

"Have fun. I hope everything will be over when I come back."

Magnolia said these words softly, but Mango could still hearthem.

Then, Mango paused for a moment and did not look back. She directly put on her sunglasses and fondled her earrings as the corners of her lips raised in a smile.

After getting into the car, Mango's phone suddenly rang.

Then, Nathaniel's deep voice came from the other end of the line.

"Should I send someone to pick you up?"

"No, I'll go back by myself. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."

Mango listened to Nathaniel's husky voice, and her heart skipped a beat. Then, her hand once again touched the earrings on her ear.

After all, the earrings contained a GPS that

Nathaniel had customised for her.

She didn't want to wear them went to wear them out at first. However, when she remembered that she was currently in a dangerous situation, she decided to wear them. After all, she would only cause more trouble to Nathaniel if something happened to her. Therefore, she put it on and switched on the tracker.

Thus, she wasn't surprised when she heard that Nathaniel knew where she was.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel leaned against the window and looked at the gloomy weather outside. Then, he smiled and said, "I want to 'eat' you."

When Mango heard what she said, she immediately blushed.

"Ahem, I'm craving for some soymilk. Shall I buy you some?"

She had to change the topic now!

Urgh! Nathaniel was really unpredictable these days. How could he think of sex all the time?

On the other hand, Nathaniel chuckled in reply. Obviously, he was in a good mood.

"Alright."

"Wait for me then."

Mango hung up the phone and suddenly felt much more relaxed.

It didn't matter what intentions Magnolia had or whether she was lying. After all, Mango would believe her for now. However, the only thing that Mango wanted to do right now was to travel with a family. So, it was alright if someone was trying to lure them to their destination on purpose.

Well, Mango was satisfied because she knew that Nathaniel and her children would be by her side. Hence, she felt blessed as this was her greatest wish.

After that, Mango started the car slowly. Meanwhile, Magnolia looked at Mango as the corners of her lips curled into a gentle smile. Just then, she suddenly felt a strong gust of wind blowing past her.
