The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1462

When Mango heard this news, she laughed until she couldn't even straighten her back. However, Nathaniel was so worried for her that he became wary, and his face turned pale.

"Don't laugh. Hey! Stop laughing! Be careful of your body."

"It's okay. The child is not that fragile."

Mango smiled and waved her hand while saying this. She then asked, "Why do you think Desmond is so straightforward?"

"It probably has something to do with the environment he grew up in. He and Marissa grew up together, and she told him about her feelings immediately. She didn't think that this was a big deal, nor did she fee like she had to be reserved because she was a woman. So from Desmond's perspective, other people needed to tell him when someone like him."

Nathaniel's words stunned Mango.

"Haniya also said that she liked him at the beginning."

"But Desmond rejected her, didn't he? Furthermore, Haniya never professed her love again after the rejection. I think Desmond doesn't even know why Haniya went to the island. He must think that she went to improve her skills."

Mango was flabbergasted after hearing Nathaniel's analysis.

"What? How could he be so clueless about this?"

"Why don't you ask him?"

Nathaniel came up with an idea when he saw how his wife couldn't believe what was happening. It was apparent that he also enjoyed watching this scenario played out.

Mango then picked up the phone and called Desmond.

"Desmond, do you know why Haniya went to train on the island?"

When Desmond heard Mango's question, he paused for a moment and couldn't help but worry.

"Why? Is there any other reason?"

"What do you think is the reason then?"

"Isn't it because she felt that she was weak and wanted to train her skills?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mango looked at Nathaniel with admiration and gave him a thumbs up.

Sure enough, men knew each other best.

Mango was now extremely glad that she didn't fall in love with a straightforward man like Desmond. Otherwise, she would be so depressed.

"Did something happen to Haniya?"

There was a hint of worry in Desmond's voice, causing Mango to feel a little unbearable.

"If I tell you that Haniya went to the island to train for you, what do you think?"

"How is it possible? She was training her body, so what does it have to do with me?"

Desmond's reply made Mango a little frustrated.

"Are you stupid?"

Mango's temper immediately flared up when she heard this.

She felt that Haniya was in such a tough situation! Why did she fall in love with a blockhead?

"What's wrong?"

The most annoying thing was that Desmond did not feel that he had said something wrong, so he asked with grievances.

Nathaniel immediately laughed out loud at this situation.

Mango had put the call on speaker, so Desmond also heard Nathaniel's laughter and could not help asking, "Is Mr. Ye here too?"

"Yeah, I'm here. Desmond, I think you should think

about other possibilities."

Nathaniel tried to comment indirectly.

However, Mango felt that Desmond would not understand this, so said clearly, "Haniya went to the island to accompany you! that clear? Why does a delicate girl like her need to train herself?" "But Madam, aren't you also skillful in combat?" Desmond was a little confused by the situation.

After hearing this, Mango didn't know what to say then.

"Well, I need to have these skills."

"So does Haniya."

Mango was unsure what to say next after hearing this.

Nathaniel took the phone and said while laughing, "Desmond, Haniya is a nurse. If she didn't like you, she wouldn't have to make her life so tiring. She can continue living a good life with her skills as a nurse. There would be no fighting, no scheming, only peace. Furthermore, she would be overjoyed if she married a doctor or other people! But because she likes you, she wants to get closer to you. Also, she felt that it was too difficult and lonely for you to train alone on the island. That was why she went to accompany you. In fact, she didn't want to train herself. She only hoped that as you two are alone on the island, you can have more interaction and develop your relationship. This is because she wanted to be someone close to you!"

After hearing this, Desmond paused for a long time. He took such a long time that Mango thought that he had fallen asleep or that he was no longer there.

"Are you even listening?"

Desmond regained his senses after hearing what Mango had said.

"I'm listening. Is that really the case?"

"Why else would she do this then? Are you that slow-witted? Haniya had deliberately planned to create some alone time for the two of you, but you didn't say more than ten sentences to her the whole time. Therefore, she would think that you're uninterested in her because of this! No matter how passionate she was before, she probably couldn't take it if you were so cold to her. Desmond, do you know why Haniya agreed to letting me arrange a blind date for her?"

"Why?"

Desmond didn't seem to know the answer to this question, so Mango felt that she shouldn't have made this call.

Nathaniel looked at his wife, who was about to explode with anger and could only continue to counsel him. "Haniya feels that you are not interested in her, and all her efforts are like a joke in your eyes. So she decided not to like you anymore and took back her affection for you. Hence, she is going to find someone else to live with."

When Desmond heard that Haniya was taking back her affections, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He didn't care about anything else and quickly hung up the phone.

On the other hand, when Mango heard that the phone had been hung up, she couldn't help but become furious as she said, "Urgh! Desmond should be single for his whole life."

"He will understand her feelings. Don't worry."

"What am I worried about? He's not my son. If he were my son, I would beat him up immediately!"

Nathaniel smiled when he hear what Mango had said.

"Then I have to tell Zion to not be too slow-witted."

"Don't worry. He's my son, so he won't have such a low EQ."

Now that they had mentioned Zion, Mango started missing her son again.

"The children are not doing anything over there, so why don't we bring them back?"

Nathaniel smiled slightly when he heard what Mango had said.

"Do you miss them?"

"Yeah. I miss Rita, Zion, and Wisdom."

Mango pouted as she said this. She didn't feel anything when she didn't mention them. However, once she talked about them, she couldn't help but miss them so much, and she wanted to see them immediately!

"This house is a bit deserted. I guess we can lighten up the atmosphere here if we bring them back."

"Okay. I'll ask Michael to send them back then."

Nathaniel would answer to his wife's every whim.

Mango then immediately laughed when she heard this.

On the other hand, Desmond didn't know all of this. After putting down the phone, he carefully went through the words of Mango and Nathaniel. Then he quickly returned from the base and went straight to Haniya's room.

In the past two days, Desmond had been the subject of gossip. Hence, when the servants saw Desmond come to Haniya's room again, they couldn't help but peep and eavesdrop. Meanwhile, Desmond's mind was only thinking about how Haniya was taking back her affections, so he did not pay much attention to other people.

Hethen knocked on Haniya's door.

"Who is it?"

Haniya didn't sleep the whole night, and she had a headache because of the incident with Desmond. As soon as she opened the door and saw Desmond, she subconsciously closed the door. However, Desmond put his foot in without thinking when he saw this scene. Then he growled in pain as Haniya had slammed the door on his foot.

"Are you stupid? Can't you see that I'm closing the door? Why did you put your foot in?"

Haniya suddenly pitied him and quickly opened the door.

However, Desmond pushed the door open and went in without saying a word.

"Hey! Did I let you in?"

"Close the door."

Desmond's voice was low and serious, so he sounded a little intimidating right now.

Haniya was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then she followed his instructions unknowingly.

Meanwhile, when the servants saw the door had closed, they felt a little regretful.

"Urgh! We can't see anymore, and the room is well soundproofed."

"Yes, why is Ms. Bell so obedient? How could she close the door just like this?"

The servants then went off to do their jobs while sighing.

Desmond entered the room and sat on Haniya's bed.

Nurses and doctors like cleanliness. Therefore, Haniya hated it when other people sat on her bed generally. However, Desmond came to her room several times and sat on it, so she frowned slightly, but she could not say anything.

On the other hand, Desmond saw that Haniya frowning unnoticeably and even glanced at the position where he was sitting. He then understood why.

"Why? Can't I sit here?"

"It's okay, sit down. I'll change the sheets in a while."

Desmond's expression turn grave when she heard how Haniya had said these words casually.

"Is this how you're disgusted with me?"

"Why would I be disgusted with you? I..."

"You followed me to the island to train even though you're disgusted with me?" Haniya's face suddenly turned red when she heard what Desmond had said.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Is that nonsense? Didn't you go to the island for me? You should make an oath right now. In fact, you should swear that if you were lying just now, you would never find a boyfriend this lifetime!" Haniya was instantly stupefied when she heard this.

"Desmond, you just want to see me suffer, don't you?"

"Is that true or not?"

Desmond was a little obsessed with this question as if he would understand everything else if he got the answer.

On the other hand, Haniya was so furious at him that she decided to spill everything. So she said immediately, "Yes, yes. You're right, alright? I'm such a disgrace that when I like a man, I would do everything in my capabilities to get close to him. But what about him? He kept ignoring me and felt that my existence was an eyesore. So why shouldn't I take a hint and be considerate of him? Don't worry. I have been fooling myself for the longest time now. Right now, I should wake up from my dream and not hang around you anymore. I promise not to appear in front of you anymore, alright?"

"No, you can't."

Desmond suddenly felt that his feelings had changed, and he felt warm. However, his heart couldn't help but tremble involuntarily due to these feelings.

Haniya didn't expect that Desmond would still be so tough after she said all that. Hence, she was so angry that her eyes were full of tears.

"Desmond, don't go too far!"

Then she came to Desmond and grabbed his sleeve before pulling him hard.

"Get out of here! You're not welcomed here!"

However, Desmond went along with her hand and pulled her directly into his arms. He then kissed her passionately.

Haniya was stunned when this happened.

Urgh! Desmond was such a rogue!

He kissed her again!

Haniya's eyes were wide open, and there was even with a hint of anger at this thought.

He shouldn't flirt with her if he wasn't interested. She would easily give in to him, alright?

Even if Desmond wanted to continue this kiss, when he saw Haniya's big eyes glaring at him, he couldn't continue even if he wanted to do so.

After letting go of Haniya, Desmond involuntarily sighed. He then patted Haniya's head dotingly and said with a smile, "Why are you so stupid?" How could a slow-witted man and an idiot like him say that she was stupid? This was so unfair!

At this thought, Haniya was so angry that she lowered her head before biting Desmond's shoulder and refused to let go.
