The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1629

"Alright, you are the mother of four kids. Why are you crying like a child?"

Although Rainie was smiling, there were tears in her eyes too.

This might be the last time they will see each other, and Rainie's heart was aching too. However, she knew that Mango had Nathaniel to protect her and with their children by her side, her life was already perfect.

And Rainie needed to find and protect her own happiness.

A best friend would lend a hand when the other was suffering and give the other space when they were happy.

She hugged Mango tightly and said softly, "Wish me the best, Mango. If God is on my side, I hope you can host a one-month-old party for my baby."

"Sure! I'll cook myself! You better come back safely!"

Mango's tears could no longer stop.

Rainie nodded.

Soon, the group of people quietly left Angolla and eventually did not attend Lebanon's wedding.

However, Lebanon did not blame them.

Walter had also wanted to find Thomas with them, but Rainie said that no one else was needed.

Thomas was her husband and the father of the child in her belly, so she would definitely find Thomas no matter what. Besides, the others had families now, Deborah and the others needed men to take care of them. Rainie was grateful for their help, but she did not agree with them going together.

When Rainie left, Nathaniel and Walter were still worried, so they called Carlson together, hoping that he would send people to protect Rainie abroad. Not only that, but they asked to rejoin the military too, in hopes that they would be able to find Thomas in person.

At first, Carlson did not agree. After all, Nathaniel and Walter had retired. They were the best soldiers and Carlson's trump card, so he had intended to use them only at the most critical moment. However, Thomas was important to Nathaniel and Walter, and their requests were determined, so in the end, Carlson agreed.

Mango and Deborah didn't stop them either. On the contrary, after receiving the order, the two of them made good food for their husbands.

Walter looked at Deborah and said with some guilt, "Deborah, will you blame me? The last time when you lost our child, I wasn't there for you. This time you are pregnant again, but I had to leave you again. I have so much to be guilty for. I am not a good husband, but..."

"I understand! Last time, you did it for Mango, and I understood. This time, you're doing it for Thomas, your brother, and I understand too. Since I married you, Walter, I love you, and only you. No matter what decision you make, I will support you. I hope you can come back safely, watch our baby be born and grow up with me. But if anything happens, Walter, listen carefully, I, Deborah, will protect you and our child forever. I will never marry again!"

Hearing Deborah's words, Walter suddenly choked with sobs.

Then, he held Deborah tightly, hoping to drag her into him and take her away with him.

Sometimes, he blamed God for not giving him a complete family and a pair of loving parents in his life, but He had given him such a considerate, strong, and independent wife!

"Give me a week, I promise to come back to see you and the child alive."

Walter said this slowly, which was a kind of promise and also an oath.

Deborah nodded, and she dared not shed the tears that were threatening to fall.

She was afraid!

She was afraid that Walter would be reluctant to leave once she cried.

She knew how important Thomas was in Walter's heart better than anyone else.

That was his brother!

If Walter had the ability to save Thomas but gave up on that because of Deborah, Walter would definitely be unhappy for the rest of his life.

And what she wanted was for him to live as he wished!

"I'll wait for you!"

Deborah smiled as her watery eyes touched his heart, and with all the gentleness in the world, she wrapped it tightly around Walter's determined heart.

On the other hand, Mango was not as resolute as Walter and Deborah. She prepared some food and medicines for Nathaniel as she continued to ramble, "These medicines will save your life on the battlefield. I asked my brother for them specially. Don't lose them. Remember to always carry them with you, okay?"

The two of them had experienced life and death many times, and Mango believed that Nathaniel would come back safely. For sure!

Thomas was like his brother and Rainie's husband, so she had no reason to stop Nathaniel from rescuing him.

Mango had actually wanted to go too, but she knew that she had to stay.

Many things had not been made clear yet, and Deborah and Priscilla still needed her to take care of, so her responsibilities were no less than Nathaniel's.

Hearing Mango's ramblings, Nathaniel hugged her and whispered, "I'll always carry the food and medicine with me. Don't worry about anything else. The only purpose of this rescue is to find Thomas and the others. As long as we find them, well return. We won't face the enemy head-on. Don't worry, you and the children are all here. I can't bear to lose my life."

Mango leaned into Nathaniel's chest as she felt the warmth and broadness behind her and said in a gentle voice, "Nathan, you're actually looking forward to it, right? You belong there like how an eagle belongs to the sky, but for the sake of me and the kids, you broke your wings and stayed on the ground with us. I've delayed you." "Nonsense. How do you know that's how I feel? No matter what others say, I, Nathaniel's greatest wish in my life is to have children, grandchildren and to grow old with you. I don't care about anything else. I admit that I do like to go into battle, but if compared with you, I prefer you and the children. Didn't we already agree on this? After rescuing Thomas, we will stay in Angolla. By then, you can ask Lebanon to give me an idle place in the palace."

Mango couldn't help but laugh when she heard Nathaniel's words.

"Don't you have shame?"

"Who in the world has shame? Besides, I've already given Lebanon billions to support him in rebuilding the country. Can't I even be a mere prince?"

Nathaniel's words eased Mango's mood a little.

"You always have a way to ease my worries."

"It isn't a big deal in the first place. When Walter and I step into the battlefield, the enemies should be worried, not us. So just wait for me to return and don't worry too much. Just remember that your man is the best."

Mango smiled, turned around, and wrapped her arms around Nathaniel's neck. She looked at Nathaniel with her tender eyes and said slowly, "I'll wait for you to come back and warm my bed."

Nathaniel suddenly felt a little thirsty in his throat, and his body became hot slightly.

Was he being seduced by his wife?
