The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) -
Chapter 1341
In order to prevent Priscilla from saying something that would cause a misunderstanding, Nathaniel took the lead and said, "Priscilla, is there any good news? Well, Mango is here right now, and a storm is brewing outside, so why don't you tell us some good news to cheer us up?"
Priscilla was stunned when she heard this.
Was he afraid that she would say something ambiguous in front of Mango?
At this thought, Priscilla snorted silently. She wanted Mango to know everything, but she also didn't want to cross the line. However, it seemed that Nathaniel was warning her because of Mango! This made her extremely disappointed.
However, she said as if nothing had happened, "Well, I have some good news. Lebanon just came here, and it seems that he has just been released. However, I don't think that him being released is a good thing. I also realised that he is Mango's cousin, so I called you in advance so that you wouldn't worry about him. In addition, he also sent me a bodyguard named Henry. Is he one of your subordinates?" When Mango heard Priscilla mentioning Henry, she was especially anxious. She was about to say something, but Nathaniel covered her mouth.
"He's my subordinate. Take good care of him, alright? I owe him a lot."
As Nathaniel spoke, he couldn't help but sigh when he noticed Mango struggling to speak up and staring at him.
Right then, he knew that he had been exposed.
Meanwhile, Priscilla didn't know about the situation on their side. Thus, she was delighted when she heard Nathaniel's words.
"I knew that you only broke his limbs as part of your plan. Since he's willing to sacrifice himself for you, I will definitely save him. Don't worry."
"Well, thank you so much."
After saying that, Nathaniel hung up the phone and let go of Mango at the same time.
Mango wasn't that stupid, and she immediately knew that something was wrong. Although she had been acting innocent and naive, she could still sense that something had happened almost immediately. However, Mango's doubts slowly abated when she saw his doting expression.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Mango sat down and was all ready to listen to his explanation.
She didn't look like a woman who had predicted her husband's affair.
Then, Nathaniel shook his head and started peeling the fruits for Mango.
After that, Mango watched him and said in a low voice, "I heard that when men have a lover outside, they will treat their wives exceptionally well. I guess that they were right then." Nathaniel paused slightly when he heard this.
"Mango, I haven't met Priscilla for several years! I've been with you since we came here, and it has been snowing heavily outside. How could I have cheated on you with her?" "Hah! Don't you know that you can cheat on me emotionally? I'm sure that you and Priscilla have a relationship somehow!"
Mango was very certain about this, so she stared straight at Nathaniel with her big and sparkly eyes.
Nathaniel suddenly felt distressed when he saw this.
After all, he didn't want to upset Mango.
"Look, there's really nothing between us! The only thing that exists are rumours about me wanting to marry her."
Mango realised that Nathaniel was trying to protect her and Henry from the moment Nathaniel stopped her from telling Priscilla that Henry was her subordinate. However, Priscilla's reaction was fairly strange. She sounded very proud and was filled with joy. Furthermore, she had sounded as if she wanted Nathaniel to praise her.
As a woman, Mango could naturally sense the feelings that Priscilla had towards Nathaniel. Moreover, now that Nathaniel admitted that he had once wanted to marry her, she couldn't help but feel jealous. Suddenly, she became upset.
Then, Nathaniel hurriedly said, "Look, this isn't what you're thinking! Can you listen to my explanation?"
"All right."
Mango treated Nathaniel well, and she tolerated him a lot. Well, she was patient as long as he was willing to tell her the truth. However, she was still slightly perturbed by the news.
She always knew that her husband was very successful and outstanding. Therefore, a lot of women had taken a liking to him, including Edolie Wright, Andrea Yu, and many more. At this thought, Mango called down a little.
Seeing that Mango had calmed down, Nathaniel finally explained what had happened between himself and Priscilla.
Nathaniel didn't speak emotionally, and he only described all the past incidents emotionlessly. Thus, Mango was in a better mood now.
"Did she hurt her reproduction system when she saved you? Does this mean that she can never give birth again?"
"That's right."
"Does Laborn know about this?"
Nathaniel paused slightly and then shook his head at Mango's question.
"For so many years, I have been seeking help from Silver Fox to find a way to cure her. Therefore, I would never spread this issue. Furthermore, everyone who knows about this is my loyal comrades, so they won't betray me. Well, not many people knew about this, except you, Michael, and Priscilla."
Upon hearing his words, Mango was immersed in her thoughts.
Wow, Nathaniel owed Priscilla a lot indeed.
Mango felt a little upset at this, but she had no choice but to face this. After all, she believed that she would cross that bridge when she came to it. Furthermore, no matter how hard Nathaniel tried to hide it, she could tell that he cared deeply about
Priscilla.
He was grateful to Priscilla because she had saved his life, but there were no romantic feelings involved in this. Although he didn't hide it from Mango on purpose, he never wanted to upset her either. Right now, Mango knew that she was facing a powerful rival.
However, she could not do anything harsh to defeat this enemy of hers, just because the other party had sacrificed her fertility to save Nathaniel's life. Also, she could easily drive a wedge between Nathaniel and Mango's relationship just because of this.
Mango finally understood the reason why Nathaniel had insisted to send her back. Urgh! She had been so eager to visit the palace previously, but she didn't even feel like visiting it anymore. Well, she would feel distressed if she was caught up in such a situation.
Even if Priscilla did something awful to her secretly, she could not tell Nathaniel about it. In fact, she could only tolerate and forgive Priscilla. Otherwise, she would be deemed ungrateful and even get Nathaniel into trouble.
Urgh! She had such an annoying rival now!
Then, she looked at Nathaniel in dismay. She trusted him, and if he was really interested in Priscilla, he wouldn't have acted this way. However, she was still a little depressed.
"Sorry, Mango, I didn't want you to know. There's nothing going on between me and Priscilla. Besides, we have our own children. I won't..."
"I know you wouldn't do that. I've never doubted you."
Mango interrupted his words and said with a smile, "Since she's your benefactor, I have to be grateful for her as well. Don't worry. As long as she doesn't go too far, I'll pretend that I don't know about it, and I won't do anything to her."
"That's not what I meant! What I mean is that you must guarantee that you will not be hurt or wronged at any time. Even if you hurt her, I'll shoulder the responsibility for it. After all, I owe her too much, but you don't need to do anything to repay her."
Nathaniel frowned slightly as he said this.
He did not tell Mango initially because he was afraid that Mango would be too kind-hearted. Hence, he was worried that she would put herself at a disadvantage because he owed Priscilla too much. He already predicted that they would face many dangers and difficulties once arrived in Angolla. However, he didn't want Priscilla to harm
Mango in any way.
"Listen to me. Take good care of yourself, alright? If someone hurts you or bully you I don't mind being the bad guy just to protect you."
Mango was touched by his words, and she started tearing up.
She hugged him and smiled, "Of course, I'm not that weak and stupid, am I?"
"Well, you've always been stupid. If you weren't stupid, how could you fall in love with someone like me who always gets involved in different messes?"
"Hey! You're not allowed to say that about yourself."
Mango quickly covered his mouth as she said this.
Then, Nathaniel took grabbed her by her waist and kissed her passionately.
He felt uneasy when he spoke of this matter. He did not know what Priscilla would do to Mango, and he was truly afraid that Mango would foolishly endure it out of gratitude for Priscilla.
That would be unfair to her!
However, everything wasn't as easy as he thought.
He and Mango were married, so they had to put up a united front, no matter what happened. Of course, Mango would not sabotage the existing relationship between Nathaniel and Priscilla. On the contrary, she would repay the favour and gratitude on behalf of him. However, she obviously would not tell him about it.
She knew that Nathaniel was desperate to explain himself because he felt afraid, uneasy and distressed. Therefore, he wasn't making any sense right now.
However, Mango responded to him passionately so that Nathaniel could feel less worried.
The snowstorm was heavy and blinding outside, but the room was warm.
On the other hand, Priscilla obviously had no idea what the couple had gone through. After she put down the phone, the corner of her lips rose, as a shy expression surfaced.
It was the first time that Maya had seen Priscilla putting down her arrogant and cold facade and turning into a lovesick girl. She couldn't help teasing her with a smile, "Your Highness, did a guy catch your attention?"
Priscilla paused for a moment. Then, her expression darkened.
"No, how's the guard doing?" "The doctor said that his injury is too severe.
Although he is still alive, it seems that it will take a while for him to wake up."
It was also the first time that Maya had seen Priscilla care about a man so much. Was it because the she had fallen in love with the guard?
Wait, that wasn't right either! The guard's face had been beaten until it was swollen, so no one knew his actual appearance.
While Maya was making wild guesses, Priscilla said coldly, "Alright, make sure everyone hears these orders. No one is allowed to approach the place where the guard is recuperating. Those who disobey will be killed without exception!"
This was the first time she had given an order using her authority.
Maya was slightly stunned and suddenly felt a little scared. She shivered and said, "What if the king is the one who wants to do so?"
"I said that no one is allowed to do so! Don't you understand?"
Suddenly, Priscilla's aura was so strong and assertive that Maya immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Princess, but he is your father! You will be scolded if you do that."
"As long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't do anything to harm him. Well, don't blame me if he
crosses the line."
A trace of ruthlessness and irrepressible hatred flashed across Priscilla's eyes and she said this, but she didn't bother hiding her true feelings."
After all, she had buried these feelings deeply for so many years. Now that Nathaniel was here, what else did she have to be afraid of? what else did she need to care about?
