The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1443

Suddenly, Mango didn't feel like talking to Desmond.

"Well, it's fine. I just wanted you to pay attention to what's happening in Angolla. Although we can't intervene now, we still need to know the current situation. Go back and reorganize the Dark Night Empire since you are free. Don't just focus on your strength but pay some attention to increasing the overall strength of the Dark Night Empire too. Since you were not in a good mood a while back, I gave you time off. It's now time to get back on your feet."

When Desmond heard Mango's words, he couldn't help but recall what the pilot had said to him and frowned.

"Madam, I heard that when you're in need of help while overseas, you mobilized the old division of the Dark Night Empire?"

"What? What do you have in mind?"

Mango didn't think that Desmond was questioning her. She knew Desmond well, and she was sure he asked because he had something in mind, not because he was jealous.

Then, Desmond thought for a moment and said, "I want to recruit Merle and also the old forces behind him. It's not fair to dismiss everyone because of a mistake that Merle made."

"Oh, well, you can handle this on your own. You are now the captain of Dark Night Empire, so I'll leave this to you. I'm going through so much right now, so I have no mood and energy to deal with this. I believe you can do it."

Mango touched her belly as a motherly aura enveloped her.

After that, Desmond said casually, "You don't have the mood to care about the Dark Night Empire, but you have the mood to care about someone else's blind date?"

Mango was stunned by these words.

Desmond had only continued living in the past because of a promise that he had made to Marissa. Hence, he was like a walking dead without a soul. But now, he was in high spirits. Although he was still calm and restrained, there was life in him.

Who was the one who had caused him to be in this way?

Was it Haniya?

Suddenly, Mango understood what was going on when she saw Haniya's depressed expression.

"What do you feel towards Haniya?"

"This is a personal matter, and it is not work-related. If there's nothing else you want to tell me, I'll be leaving now. You're not well, so please take care of yourself. I will report back what is necessary." After finishing his words, Desmond turned around and left.

Mango felt a little upset when she heard this.

"Hey, who gave you the courage to talk to your employer this way? How dare you!"

"Well, I believe that Mr. Ye will agree with what I said."

After saying that, Desmond smirked and left Mango stunned.

What? Desmond could actually smile?

It seemed like he was really over it.

However, according to Haniya, they had barely talked on the island. Therefore, it seemed that Desmond needed an external force to prompt him. Hence, introducing a few men to Haniya sounded like a good idea.

As she thought about this, Mango let out a laugh.

"What made you so happy?"

Nathaniel couldn't help but ask as he saw Mango laughing when he pushed his wheelchair into the room.

"Haha! I'm arranging a blind date for Haniya."

Nathaniel was stunned when he heard Mango's reply.

"A blind date? Doesn't she like Desmond?"

"Even if she likes him, she still needs a response from him, doesn't she? Look at Desmond's lifeless demeanor! I don't want Haniya to wait forever. Why should she commit herself to him when she is still so young? Besides, she has agreed to go on a blind date."

As Mango happily expressed her thoughts, Desmond returned to get something he left behind. At this time, he overheard what Mango said and felt disturbed.

When Haniya returned to her room, Mango's words still lingered in her mind.

Was she going on a blind date?

Well, she would go ahead then!

Didn't she agree to what Mango had said earlier?

But why did she feel so upset and uncomfortable about it?

At this thought, Desmond's figure suddenly appeared in Haniya's mind.

He was a good-looking man, and she fell in love with him at first sight. Now that she thought about this, she was just too ordinary for Desmond. How could she think that she was a good match for him? Moreover, Desmond had Marissa in his heart. She was a living person, so how she could compare to a dead person? If Desmond had feelings for her, he would not have turned a blind eye on her while they were on the island for such a long period.

At this thought, Haniya felt very sorrowful.

She was secretly in love with Desmond, and she even tried to win his heart. She even mustered all the courage she had, Although she didn't give her all, she had given what she could, but she still didn't win his heart. Wasn't it time to give up?

She should go on a blind date then!

Perhaps she would meet her other half through blind dates. Even if she wouldn't like him as much as she liked Desmond, it would be fine as long as he treated her well and accepted her for who she was.

At this thought, Haniya sarcastically laughed as she changed her clothes. She was about to bring her clothes to the laundry room when she heard footsteps behind her.

She didn't turn back as she assumed it was the maid, and she said in a low voice, "Wait a minute. I'll be done in a while."

Then, she quickly threw the clothes into the washing machine.

At that moment, a shirt and a pair of pants were thrown at her as she heard a familiar voice.

"Help me wash this too."

Haniya was slightly stunned, but she did not dare to look back.

It was Desmond!

She didn't know why, but when she promised Mango that she would go on a blind date, she felt sorry for Desmond.

She must have gone crazy!

Why did she feel sorry for Desmond?

They were not a couple, so why should she care about Desmond's feelings?

Despite thinking that way, Haniya still picked up his shirt and pants. Then she saw something fall out of his pants.

She was stunned for a moment and started to blush.

It was Desmond's underwear!

"This needs to be hand washed."

Desmond didn't seem to notice Haniya's awkwardness and left after finishing his sentence. Haniya was left feeling confused after hearing these words. What the heck?

Did Desmond want her to wash his underwear?

Was he serious?

What was he trying to say?

"I refuse to wash it!"

After Haniya gathered her courage and turned around, she realized there was no one behind her.

Did Desmond leave?!

Urgh! She didn't know what to feel about this anymore.

When they were alone on the island, Desmond refused her offer to wash his clothes. Now that she had decided to give up on him, why did he want her to wash his underwear? Besides, there were so many onlookers here at the Ye's Mansion.

What on earth was Desmond thinking?

Haniya wanted to throw it out, but she was too embarrassed to hold it with her fingers.

That was clothing worn next to the skin!

She felt that she could still feel Desmond's body temperature on it, and her heart pounded so fast that she was out of breath.

What should she do?

She could hear footsteps sound coming from behind as a voice spoke.

"Madam wants this clothing of hers to be hand washed, so I can handle this later. Since I'm not good at cooking, could you go to the kitchen to watch the fire?"

"Alright."

After hearing her voice, Haniya recognized her immediately. She was the maid Nathaniel hired for Mango and was such a young lady. What if they saw her holding a man's underwear in her hand? What would they think of her?

Without a second thought, Haniya took out her clothes from the washing machine and rolled up Desmond's clothes with hers. She then quickly held them in her arms and walked out.

"Miss Bell, I thought you were going to put the clothes to wash?"

The maid looked at Haniya in confusion as she asked this.

Haniya quickly thought of an excuse and replied, "I just remembered that these clothes needed to be hand washed, so I will take them back to my room and wash them myself."

She could feel her face and neck turning red due to embarrassment, so even her breath felt hot.

Then, she ran back to the room and slammed the door without giving the maid a chance to reply.

Oh, God!

That was close!

Haniya patted her chest while gasping for air as she thought about this. She could not understand why she was blushing.

She picked up her clothes and then looked at Desmond's ones. Then, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

What should she do now?

Well, perhaps she should put the clothes in a plastic bag and return them to Desmond. She should also let him know that it was inappropriate to have her wash them. However, she thought about how she had unbuckled Desmond's belt on the plane and felt too ashamed to face Desmond.

Wait, how did she get into this situation?

Also, what did Desmond mean?

At this thought, Haniya bit her lower lip and felt like crying.

Just then, she heard a knock on the door accompanied by a deep and clear voice.

"Haniya, I'm heading out. Please put the clothes in the dryer to dry after washing them, alright? I want to wear them when I'm back."

He left before Haniya had the chance to react.

Haniya was completely stunned.

What the hell?

Did he only have two sets of clothes?

Could it be that Desmond didn't realize that there was an underwear in there?

At the thought of this possibility, Haniya suddenly felt her guess was correct.

Alas! Desmond was such a serious person after all.

He wouldn't have let her wash his underwear. Moreover, he sounded like his usual self, so he probably didn't think this was inappropriate!

Haniya breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, there was a trace of disappointment in her heart.

After all, she would eventually become a passerby in his life.

Then, she took Desmond's clothes to the bathroom. After much determination, she squatted down and gripped the underwear with her fingers.

It was a straight-legged boxer!

At this thought, she couldn't help but visualize Desmond during his training, and his strong, firm legs filled her mind. Urgh! These little pants were driving her imagination wild.

In the end, Haniya managed to wash and dry it somehow. After folding it, she took a sigh of relief.

Oh my god!

She had almost suffocated herself her death! Right now, her face was so red, as if she had a high fever.

Haniya secretly rebuked herself. Was this even necessary? It was only a pair of underwear! How was she going to face her husband in the future? Alas! Would she faint when she saw his body?

As she consoled herself, Haniya wanted to quietly return the clothes to Desmond's room. But, to her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Desmond standing outside, and in his cold voice, he

said.

"I'm here to get my clothes. Are they done?"
