The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1463

This force was nothing for Desmond. Since he was a child, he had suffered more harm than this, but there had never been a time that he felt as happy as now.

He felt blissful!

He used to think that this word was foreign to him, and it was something he would never experience. He didn't know what it felt like nor what it was like, but now, he had finally gotten a taste of it. The person who made him understand this was Haniya, a girl who looked weak.

Perhaps she was not as beautiful or as strong as Marissa. Sometimes she looked silly, but she made him feel comfortable and warm.

Desmond had always thought that the relationship between him and Marissa was love. But now, he realized that it was out of his gratitude.

He wanted to get close to her, not because he liked her or loved her. It was only Marissa was his saviour at that time.

She was the only ray of light in his gloomy life. Therefore, Desmond could resist her smile and how thoughtful she had been. Furthermore, she couldn't resist how caring she had been, but he knew now that it wasn't love.

To be precise, he only continued to chase her out of admiration.

They were childhood sweethearts, but more often than not, they were more like family. He never had an impulse towards Marissa, and even when she pestered him and kissed him, he only responded without any feelings.

But Haniya was different.

He wanted to get close to Haniya. When he kissed her, he had an impulse to continue and make this woman his. Right now, he never had such a desire for anyone before. Desmond's heart was suddenly enlightened at this thought,

Haniya's teeth were sore after biting Desmond for so long, but he didn't show any reaction. Instead, she looked like an insane woman right now.

So she let go of Desmond and saw him smiling at her. However, there was so much affection in his eyes that she was a little stunned.

"What are you laughing at? Did you become foolish after being bitten? Ouch!"

As soon as Haniya finished speaking, Desmond flicked her head.

"Why did you hit me? Are you going to marry me if I become stupid?"

"I'll marry you."

Desmond smiled while saying this, but Haniya was stunned.

She felt that she had heard something outrageous. Thus, she was so frightened that she quickly took two steps back and looked at Desmond warily. "What's wrong with you?"

Haniya could not understand why such a cold person would suddenly look at her lovingly. This change was too abrupt that she could not accept it. On the other hand, Desmond could not help but beam when she saw how adorable she looked.

"Do you think I would ask just anyone to wash my underwear?"

As soon as he said this, Haniya's face turned red.

"Can you stop talking about this?"

"No, I can't."

Then, Desmond leaned on the edge of Haniya's bed, and his blue eyes had mixed emotions in them. Thus, Haniya couldn't help but feel moved when she saw this.

Hence, she quickly turned her head away.

Urgh! He could seduce her this easily!

As she whispered this in her heart, Desmond said, "Haniya."

"Yeah?"

"I'm in love with you."

Haniya was stunned when she heard this.

Perhaps she never expected to receive any return for her efforts, or she felt that she would never be able to replace Marissa's place in Desmond's heart. Therefore, Haniya never thought she would hear Desmond say these words to her.

But now, not only did he confess it, he said it before her very eyes and looked as if he was overwhelmed with happiness. This was too surreal!

While Haniya was staring at him in a daze, Desmond felt nervous.

Nathaniel did mention that she had intended to give up on him and try to like someone else. Was it true?

Or did his confession come a little late? Had she fallen in love with someone else?

As Desmond thought of this possibility, he looked disappointed.

He then got up and walked towards Haniya.

Meanwhile, Haniya wasn't sure why but she subconsciously turned around to run away, but Desmond grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

"I said I think I'm in love with you. Why are you running away?"

Desmond smiled again as he repeated his words.

Haniya's face was burning out of embarassment when she heard this, and she didn't even dare to look up.

"Stop kidding. I don't need your pity."

"Why would I pity you? Haniya, I have nothing, and I'm even a monster. Should you pity me instead?"

Desmond never said such things to others, but he was okay if he said it to Haniya.

After all, he could not deny the fact that he was not a normal human being.

Meanwhile, Haniya's heart ached for him when she heard this.

"Hey! Stop spouting nonsense! You're a good person, and you're even better than some normal human beings. Take Victoria, for example. She was a normal human, but she didn't act like one!" Upon hearing Desmond belittle himself, Haniya subconsciously defended him.

Desmond's smile grew wider as he heard this.

"So, do you pity me, or do you like me?"

"Of course I like you!"

Haniya subconsciously said that before she saw the glimmer in Desmond's eyes. After realizing what she said, her face turned red.

"I'm going out then."

As she spoke, she tried to break free from Desmond, but the latter tightened his embrace.

"Don't try to escape! Let's make it clear today."

"What's there to say? Didn't you already know that I like you? The whole world already does anyways."

After saying that, Haniya felt relieved but also a little sad.

Desmond had never known what heartache felt like, but now he did.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

Haniya felt that Desmond was a little different from before right now.

"What happened to you today?"

"I just want to ask you a few questions."

"Go ahead, but let go of me first."

It was difficult for Haniya to think in that position, but Desmond was enjoying it.

Her body was soft, and she felt warm in his arms. There was also a familiar scent from her, so he

felt calm.

"Nah, I'm not letting go. I like it this way."

"Hey! Desmond Blu!"

Haniya was a little shy so she exclaimed, but she couldn't fight back.

After that, Desmond said with a smile, "Haniya, you know about my background. I had a terrible childhood because I was different, and I don't even want to think about it. Therefore, I never let anyone touch my belongings, not even Marissa. Do you get it?"

Haniya was stunned when she heard this.

After all, Marissa was the thorn in Desmond's heart. He never talked about her, nor did he allow others to mention her. But now, Haniya was surprised that he mentioned Marissa.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Marissa had already passed away, and I won't forget her. But my feelings for her were out of gratitude, and she was my childhood sweetheart. Honestly, I've never loved anyone, and I don't know what it's like to love someone or what I should do when I'm in love. I'm a fool in this area, so please do not despise me."

Desmond's words stunned Haniya immediately.

What? Despise him?

Since when did she do so?

However, when she remembered how slow-witted Desmond was, she decided to accept this thought silently.

Well, she did despise him a little.

However, Haniya felt that it was inappropriate to say that at that moment, so she replied, "I don't despise you."

"So you don't mind if our thoughts are not of the same channel?"

Desmond seemed to have asked on purpose and made Haniya speechless.

"Fine. I do despise you."

"Well done. Good girls tell the truth."

Desmond patted Haniya's head as he said this.

On the other hand, Haniya was frustrated when she heard this.

Why did she feel like she had gotten herself a father?

However, Desmond did not know what Haniya was thinking, so he said with complicated feelings, "You are the first person to whom I want to reveal everything. I thought you would know my feelings for you because I asked you to help me wash my underwear and buy my clothes. Furthemore, I even kissed you!"

"I thought you were bullying me."

Desmond was taken aback by Haniya's words.

Well, Nathaniel and Mango were right. He had indeed made a mistake.

"I'm sorry for making you misunderstand. Also, I didn't talk to you much on the island because you looked exhausted after training. Instead of talking to you, I thought it would be better for you to rest more and recover so that you would have the stamina to continue. If I knew that you intended to accompany me and not to improve your skills, I would have treated you differently."

Desmond rarely explained anything, but now he took the effort to do so.

Haniya felt warmth in her heart and forgotten about the grievances she had suffered before after hearing this.

After all, she liked Desmond so much!

"What would you have done if you knew about my intentions?"

Haniya lowered her head and asked.

Desmond started to ponder when he heard her question, but his serious look made Haniya's heart jump.

Was this slow-witted man going to say something that she couldn't take?

"Forget it. I don't want to know anymore."

Haniya wanted to stop him, but she heard Desmond whisper, "If I knew, I might have ravished you on the island."

Haniya choked at his reply and coughed.

Desmond quickly patted her on the back and said, "Why are you so careless? I'm sure you're the only person who would choke on your saliva!"

Haniya wanted to beat him up after hearing this.

Wasn't he the one who said something outrageous?

So why did he blame her instead?

After Haniya stopped coughing after a while, Desmond said, "Let's get married."

Haniya choked at his words again.

"No, I don't want to!"

Desmond frowned at her refusal.

"We like each other, so why can't we get married?"

"You haven't pursued me before, and I was the one who was trying to win your heart all along. Come to think of it, I'm at a loss. I don't want to marry a slow-witted man like you who doesn't know anything. Besides, there are rumors that you can't perform in bed. Who knows if you're trying to cover up since you're so anxious to get married?" Haniya recalled that they slept in the same bed for one night, but Desmond had not done anything to her. Was it because she was not attractive enough, or was it because Desmond was incapable?

She got a little worried when she thought about this.

After hearing this, Desmond's face suddenly darkened.

F*ck this situation!

"What did you say? Do you think that I'm not capable? Would you like to try it yourself?"

While speaking, Desmond turned over and pressed against Haniya, who was now under him. His vigorous energy and the heat from his junk made Haniya panic, and her face turned red.

"No, there's no need for that!"

"So do you want to get married?"

Desmond threatened her in a despicable and shameless way, as if he would immediately ravish her if she didn't agree.

Haniya immediately cried when she heard this.

What kind of proposal was this?

What kind of man had she fallen in love with?

Boohoo!

Haniya regretted it right now! She didn't want to like him anymore, okay?
