The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1311

"But if you want to do the paternity test, you have to at least get Atlas's hair and blood. Since Atlas is missing..." This was also the purpose of Nathaniel's visit.

He knew that Lilian was not in good health now, but he had no choice to bring this up since it was an urgent matter."

Maverick also knew this.

He pondered for a while and said in a low voice, "Lilian was seriously injured this time, so she probably can't help me this time. I only know that Atlas is trapped in the formation and should not be able to get out. Since Lilian hates him to the core, she won't kill him so easily. She will surely torture him to death, so even if Atlas couldn't escape, he would not be comfortable too."

Mango was stunned when she heard what Maverick had said.

After that, Maverick told them everything. He didn't care whether Mango or Nathaniel knew about this. Instead, he told them everything as he needed to vent.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Mango listened quietly without saying anything.

After Maverick finished speaking, he smiled bitterly.

"Do you think that he could be considered as human? Urgh! My mother must be blind to have fallen for a wolf in sheep's clothing."

Maverick had different feelings for Madeline. He didn't have a mother since he was a child, so he believed that Madeline was flawless.

On the other hand, Nathaniel did not want to talk about Madeline's flaws. Although Nathaniel had a complicated background as well, he still wanted Maverick to have a good impression of his mother, even though it was not true.

"It was good that she valued Longford County more than her feelings. Otherwise, Atlas would have succeeded sooner."

Maverick fell silent after hearing what Nathaniel had said.

Nathaniel was right.

After all, Madeline was one of the rulers of Longford County. Although she could give Atlas herself because she loved him, she still held fast to her principles when it came to important matters, which was commendable.

ON the other hand, Mango did not speak at all. She looked at Nathaniel and felt that both of them had a lot to say to each other. So she stood up and said in a low voice, "I'll go take a look at Lilian." "Alright."

Maverick didn't stop her this time.

After that, Mango stood up and went to Lilian's bedroom.

She had to admit that Maverick had taken good care of Lilian. Lilian was no longer pale, and she had a healthier complexion. Although she was still a little weak, she looked much better than when she first left the operating room.

The temperature in the room was a little high. This meant that Maverick must have deliberately increased it as he was worried that Lilian would catch a cold.

Then, Mango came to Lilian's bed. She thought that Lilian was asleep, but Lilian suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Mango, the wariness in her eyes slowly dissipated. "Why did you come here?"

Lilian's voice was still weak, but she sounded more energized than before. Thus, anyone could tell that she was in a good mood after punishing Atlas.

Meanwhile, Mango sat closer to her with a smile. However, Lilian said with some embarrassment, "I'm ill right now, so I don't want to pass it to you." "Nah, I'm not so frail."

Mango smiled faintly with a gentle gaze.

After all, she was a woman, so she understood the pain that Lilian was going through.

Well, Mango also lost her child before.

She stretched out her hand and gently laid it on Lilian's belly. At the thought of her child that she never met, "You must be in a lot of pain, right? I couldn't even bear it after going through it once because this pain was agonizing and unforgettable! Alas! You've been through it so many times. It must be hard on you."

Lilian immediately feared up after hearing this. She raised her head stubbornly and tried to force her tears back, but she failed.

She was a woman and was also eager to be a mother. Thus, no one knew the pain and misery she felt when she lost her child. Even when she faced Maverick, she gritted her teeth and said that she was fine. She didn't dare to say that she was sad or in pain. This was because if she admitted it, she would feel so much regret until the point where she wanted to die.

Unfortunately, this was the situation that she and Maverick were in. She couldn't bear Maverick's children, and her family, who had died unjustly, would not allow it either.

Well, Lilian knew that she had brought this upon herself. Since she had failed to guard her heart and fallen in love with her enemy's son, she could only endure the pain and regrets by herself.

Right now, o one understood Lilian better than Mango.

She gently held Lilian's hand and said distressedly, "Maverick may not be Augustus' son."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Lilian hadn't caught up with Mango and the latest news in the outside world as she was still thinking about her hatred for Augustus. Furthermore, she had induced her miscarriage this time, so she naturally didn't receive much news. Furthermore, Maverick didn't tell her anything either. So when she heard Mango's words, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

"What do you mean? Tell me now."

Lilian was so anxious when she heard that her lover was possibly not her enemy's son.

She needed to confirm it, but she was afraid at the same time.

Mango was also a woman. Thus, how could she know what Lilian was feeling?

So she told Lilian everything and even told her that

Maverick was going to do the paternity test again.

Lilian had gone through a turmoil of feelings just now, but she was finally calm again.

She then burst into laughter suddenly. Her laughter then turned into tears, and she cried so hard that she could not control herself.

Mango knew that Lilian had suppressed her feelings for too long, so she didn't stop her from doing so.

After that, Maverick came after hearing Lilian's tears. He asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Are you alright/"

He then looked at Mango after saying her. Although he didn't blame her, he was clearly displeased.

However, Lilian grabbed Maverick while crying and laughing, like she was out of her mind.

"Lilian, no matter what you've heard, please calm down. Your body can't take this. You... Oh..."

Before he could finish his words, Lilian kissed Maverick immediately on his lips.

She didn't care about anything else, and she wanted to take Maverick here and then. Thus, Mango was dumbfounded when she saw this.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel immediately stretched out his arms and brought his wife out of the room with a smile.

"She... How can they be so shameless?!"

Mango knew that some people were open-minded. These days, it wasn't a big deal even if people made out on the streets. But how could they act so passionately right in front of her? When Nathaniel looked at the frightened look on his wife's face, he felt that Mango was extremely adorable.

"Well, it's really a bit ridiculous."

Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh as he said these words. Before Mango could react, he held her face and looked at her with deep affection.

"So, how about we beat them at their own game? Yeah?"

Nathaniel's voice was thick and hoarse. When his handsome face that Mango could never get enough of was right in front of her, she could only feel her heart racing, as if it could jump out of her throat at any moment.

What was going on?

They had already been married for a long time, but she was still captivated by him like a teenage girl. It was simply too frustrating!

"Stop it."

Mango wanted to push Nathaniel away and free herself from his enchantment. However, she felt him pulling her by the waist, and she fell into his embrace instantly.

"I don't want to."

Nathaniel smiled, and his bright eyes dazzled Mango immediately. She thought that Nathaniel was the embodiment of lust, and his every movement and expression allured her.

Then she felt a pair of warm lips covering hers, so she couldn't help but close her eyes in satisfaction.

At this moment, Mango immersed herself in Nathaniel's tenderness. Thus, she knew that she had fallen under Nathaniel's spell for the rest of her life.

After some time had passed, Nathaniel let go of Mango. His eyes flickered with desire as he saw how Mango was out of breath. However, he also knew that Mango was reserved, and they were still at Maverick's place. So he only held Mango tightly in his arms and said in a gentle voice, "He's worried about Lilian, so he was a little mad when he saw her cry. Don't mind it, alright?"

Mango was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Then, she realized that Nathaniel was explaining on behalf of Maverick.

However, she shook her head while smiling and said, "Lilian has suppressed her feelings for too long. Therefore, if she had never vented her frustrations, she would have suffered from postpartum depression. Besides, you men don't understand the sufferings of women. Those children belong to her and Maverick, and every mother has feelings for their children. Yet, Lilian couldn't give birth to them, but she couldn't explain this to Maverick. Well, you wouldn't be able to understand this pain. So, I just told her some things so that she could stop thinking and let it go. I think that it's a good thing she cried today because she might not have the strength and courage to continue being together with Maverick if she hadn't done so. Right now, Lilian has forced herself into a dead end. This was because she had decided that she would either give birth or die trying too."

Nathaniel fell into deep thought after hearing what Mango had said.

He also thought of that child that he and Mango never met.

Did Mango also suffer so much in the past?

At this thought, Nathaniel looked at Mango in pity and hugged her even tighter.

"I'm sorry."

Mango was stunned by his sudden apology. After thinking for a long time, she finally understood why he was apologising. Thus, she couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart.

"I'm fine. It's all in the past."

Mango gently stroked Nathaniel's back as she said this as she knew that Nathaniel had never forgotten about that matter. Although he did not say anything about it, she knew that he was deeply hurt as well. After all, Nathaniel was more eager to be a father again than she was, but people couldn't have everything they wanted. Hence, Mango knew that it was best to live well in the present.

On the other hand, how could Nathaniel not know what Mango was thinking?

He lowered his head and kissed Mango once again gently.

Meanwhile, Maverick saw this passionate scene as soon as he came out of the room, so he couldn't help but let out a cough.

When Mango saw this, she pushed Nathaniel away, and her face was flushed like a ripe tomato.

"Well, if you need some space, I have plenty of rooms ready for you. Pick whichever you want."

Maverick looked at Nathaniel with a teasing expression, and he looked so much better than before. Wow! How could he look so different from before?

Well, Nathaniel had always been very calm and indifferent in front of outsiders. Thus, Maverick felt that it would be a waste if he didn't tease Nathaniel as the latter rarely looked this passionate. However, when Nathaniel saw Maverick's happy face, he said softly, "My wife helped Lilian overcome the burdens that she was feeling! Do you think that you can repay us by offering us a room?" "Oh, ho. This means that you want to demand an exorbitant price."

Maverick whistled and then said with a smile, "Hmm, why don't I let you see how miserable Atlas looks right now?"
