The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1623

"I, I pay attention to her because... why should I tell you?"

Carlo stammered, then turned around and ran away. However, in Mango's eyes, he looked like he was avoiding the question.

Was he really interested in Rainie?

Just then, Rainie came over.

"What's wrong? What did you say to Carlo? You scared him away."

Rainie said with a smile.

Recalling the news about Thomas, Mango was worried once again as she faced Rainie. Then, she recalled her suspicions of Carlo and could not help but ask, "Is there something going on between you can Carlo?"

"We're friends, what else?"

Rainie looked at Mango in surprise.

Mango felt that it wasn't right to ask such a question, but it made her uncomfortable if she didn't ask.

"Is Carlo interested in you?" "Are you kidding me? He's interested in me? We're practically brothers!"

Rainie looked at Mango in disbelief, which made Mango feel much more relieved.

"But he's paying so much attention to you..."

"That's because he schemed against me not long ago, which caused my body's discomfort. After that, I was pregnant, and he always that it was not that safe. He was afraid that something would happen to the baby in my belly, so he wanted to repay me. So he has been paying attention to me since he knew I was pregnant. He gave me a lot of supplements too. Wait, you misunderstood that he is interested in me? Do others think so too?"

Rainie suddenly felt a little depressed.

"If that's the case, I have to keep my distance from him. Thomas can't hear about this. If not, I won't be able to explain it to him."

Hearing Rainie's words, Mango said hurriedly, "No, no, that's what I think."

"Do you want him to be interested in me? How can a man like him compare with Thomas?"

Hearing Rainie's words, Mango did not say anything else.

Nathaniel was not as good as Thomas either in Rainie's heart. After all, Thomas was the only one for her. However, if Rainie knew that something had happened to Thomas, no one knew what she would be like.

Mango felt uneasy and quickly pulled Rainie to find some food to eat.

"Where is my sister-in-law?"

"She was taken away by your cousin. I'm telling you, Mango, I stick out like a sore thumb here. Everyone here is in pairs, and I'm the only lone one here. I wonder how is Thomas doing now. Is it cold abroad? I still have a lot of things to say to him. He doesn't know that he's going to be a father yet. He yearns for a child so much, but now that he has the child, he's no longer by my side."

It was true that she did miss Thomas, but Rainie usually didn't show it. Today, she suddenly felt sad.

Mango felt a little upset deep down as she patted the back of Rainie's hand and said, "He will know. The heavens will see your feelings for him and treat you well."

"I hope so."

Rainie chuckled, hiding the loneliness in her heart.

When Mango thought of Emory, she couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you sent some money to Emory's parents?"

"Yes, I did."

Rainie nodded.

"It was Emory who was in the wrong. Her parents are innocent. If Thomas hadn't wanted a child, Emory wouldn't have had the chance. Thomas was wrong too. I didn't mean that he didn't do the right thing for me later. It was just that Thomas shouldn't have listened to Emory in the beginning. Now Emory has gotten the punishment she deserved. I can't just watch her parents be in trouble." "What trouble?"

Mango was a little surprised.

Rainie nodded and said, "Emory's mother's health is poor. She has diabetes and has to be injected with insulin to live. After Emory went into prison, her father accidentally injured his leg. Although his life wasn' in danger, it's impossible for him to do heavy work in the future. The two of them only have Emory. Emory used to take care of them and they were able to survive. Now that Emory is gone, the two of them don' have much income. So I gave them a sum of money. It should act as Thomas's compensation."

"It's none of your business. No one will say anything even if you don't give them anything."

Rainie shook her head and said, "I want it to be like a blessing for my child. It's not easy for me to bear a child. Maybe this will be the only child in my life. As long as I can accumulate blessings for him, money is nothing. Isn't it said that the more money you spend, the more you can make?"

Mango immediately smiled.

Rainie was still very kind-hearted.

Mango spoke to her for a while before she saw Nathaniel walking over.

"Hey, your husband is here. I won't hold onto you anymore. I'll go over there."

Then, Rainie let go of Mango's hand.

Before she fell in love, she didn't understand why Mango still fell in love with Nathaniel all over again without hesitation after being hurt so badly by him. Now, she finally understood that many people were destined, and once they were deeply in love, nothing could separate them, not even life and death.

Nathaniel looked at Rainie's cheerful figure and whispered, "I really hope that she will always be like this."

"She will. I will protect her!"

There was a hint of determination in Mango's eyes.

Nathaniel knew Mango's feelings for Rainie, so he held her hand and whispered, "There's someone I want you to meet." "Who is it?"

"You will know when you meet him."

Nathaniel kept her guessing.

Mango glared at him in annoyance before walking over with him.

Mango was a little surprised when they arrived at the side palace. There was no one here, nor was there anyone living in the palace. What did Nathaniel bring her here for?

Before Mango could figure it out, Nathaniel had already led her into the side palace.

The light in the room was not very bright, and it was even a little dim.

After Mango followed Nathaniel in, she saw a man sitting on the edge of the bed.

He sat with his back facing Mango, making it hard for others to see his face clearly. However, the familiar blue hair made Mango's heart flutter with excitement.

"Desmond?"

She said in a low voice, and Desmond slowly turned his head. His eyes, which used to be as blue as the sea, were now black, like the deep starry sky, which was as fascinating as ever. "Your eyes..."

"Because he was neutralized, his eyes returned to their original color, but his hair couldn't be recovered by any medicine."

Nathaniel spoke.

Tears started to well up in Mango's eyes.

"Welcome back, Desmond."

Mango opened her arms towards Desmond.

Desmond got up from the bed and went straight to Mango.

He was much thinner than before, and he was much more haggard. His originally handsome face had a sunken expression on it. He stopped in front of Mango and in the next moment, pulled her into an embrace.
