The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1624

"I'm finally back!"

Desmond's voice was hoarse, which was really saddening.

Mango felt that Desmond was using great force, and he seemed to be in a very unstable mood as he hugged her tightly. His body trembled slightly as if he was frightened.

It was rare for Nathaniel to not feel jealous, nor did he separate Desmond from Mango. He just stood by the side and whispered, "It's good that you're back."

After some time, Desmond finally let go of Mango.

He chuckled and said, "I really used to think that I wouldn't be able to come back. I thought to myself, if I really became a bloodthirsty monster, would I hurt you? But I couldn't control myself. At that time, I couldn't think straight, and I thought there was no hope left for me."

At this point, Desmond's eyes were gloomy.

Mango recalled that Desmond's sudden change had something to do with Haniya. At this moment, Haniya's whereabouts were still unknown, so she didn't know how to respond.

Desmond almost died, and now he had survived. If she mentioned Haniya again, it would be like stabbing Desmond in the heart.

However, Mango's worries were all in vain as Desmond smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that the person who did this to me was Haniya."

Mango was slightly stunned and looked at Nathaniel subconsciously.

Nathaniel received Mango's gaze and couldn't help but say, "Let bygones be bygones. Haniya might have her reasons."

"Yeah, I want to know what her difficulties are too. She loved me so much before. She waited for me for so long, how can she change so suddenly? And I remember very clearly that she cried when she injected me. I could see her struggle, reluctance, and hesitation in front of my eyes, but I don't know why. Is there anything Haniya can't tell me? If she wants me to die, I definitely won't make it vague, but she has to give me a reason, right?"

Desmond gave a bitter smile again.

Mango wanted to know what the reason was too. Just what had caused Haniya to attack Desmond, whom she loved the most?

At this moment, Mango suddenly became speechless.

She didn't know how to comfort Desmond and what to say.

Then, Desmond broke the silence.

"I heard that Haniya jumped into the sea and disappeared?"

"Yes, we've been looking for her for a long time, but we can't find her. It's just that we were worried about you..."

"I understand. I don't blame you. I just feel that she should still be alive."

Desmond had a intuition.

However, Mango did not dare answer this.

Even sailors might not be able to survive in the vast sea. How could Haniya, such a weak woman, survive? Mango didn't know.

If Haniya was still alive, there would definitely be news, right? After all, more than half a year had passed.

Nathaniel said in a low voice, "If she is still alive, she will come to you. You have not fully recovered yet, and your body is still the most important thing. Oh, and you should know about the relationship between your parents and the Hans family already. Rainie and Denver are your cousins. You should meet them if you have time. They are all here."

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Desmond paused for a moment and then nodded.

Mango could sense that although Desmond had regained his rationality, his emotions might not be adjusted in such a short time because of Haniya's incident.

Desmond was actually a pitiful person.

Even when he was still in his mother's womb, he was treated as an experiment and had been injected with many liquids. Once he was born, he lost his parents and after that, the only one who was good to him died too because of him. He closed his heart up completely until he finally accepted Haniya's feelings and when he thought that he could be together with her smoothly, he didn't expect her to change again. Mango didn't know how to comfort Desmond with words. She only hoped that the care and warmth of his loved ones could illuminate the light of hope in Desmond's heart.

Nathaniel saw that Desmond was a little tired, so he left the room with Mango.

After Mango came out, there were tears in her eyes as she held Nathaniel's hand and said, "Fate is too unfair to Desmond."

"Some people's lives will go smoothly after hardships, while others' go smoothly before they go downhill. Fate will not treat any good person badly, so after Desmond endured so much, his life will only be filled with good luck from now on."

Nathaniel's words made Mango feel a little more at ease.

"I hope so. Rainie didn't see Denver last time. Will Denver come this time?"

Nathaniel nodded and said, "Yes, Denver will bring Anaya with him."

"He's here to show her off? Denver sure is something!"

Mango's words caused Nathaniel to burst into laughter.

"You sure are bold enough to say anything."

"Can't you see that Denver has feelings for Anaya?"

Nathaniel said to Mango directly, "Anaya is still a child."

"She is 14 years old and is not a child anymore. She can actually understand Denver's feelings for her."

"This is between Denver and Anaya. Don't worry too much. If you have the time, why don't you worry about me instead." "What's wrong with you?" "I have been neglected by you for many days now.

Little Nathaniel misses you too."

Hearing this, Mango's face suddenly turned red.

"Nathaniel! You naughty old man!"

"Am I that old? Mango, is that why you're neglecting me? Is there someone young that you like? Who is it? Tell me!"

Nathaniel's words made Mango's mouth twitch.

What was wrong with Nathaniel?

Then, the two of them laughed and joked all the way to find Rainie. They told Rainie that Denver and Anaya were about to come and that Desmond was here too, and asked if she wanted to see him. Knowing that her cousin was still alive, Rainie was surprised and glad. For so many years, the Blu family had very few members, so how could she not see him at this time?

So, Mango brought Rainie to meet Desmond.

Mango didn't know what the two were talking about inside, while Denver and Anaya quickly came over too and walked in.

At first, crying could be heard, and perhaps it was the joy of reuniting with each other.

Mango moved a little further away, giving them some space.

When a servant passed by Mango, Mango didn't notice anything at first. However, when that servant continued to walk towards Desmond's direction, Mango's brows furrowed slightly.

"Wait a minute!"

She stopped the maid abruptly.

The servant paused for a moment and lowered her head, hiding the emotions in her eyes.

Mango felt a little strange and asked, "What are you going over there for?"

"I'm bringing some fruits over."

The maid's voice was very strange, as if it had been damaged.

Mango became alert immediately.

Few people knew about Desmond. Why would this maid come here with fruits?
