The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1671

Haniya hurriedly nodded when she heard Mango entrusting Zion to her.

"Madam, don't worry. I will take good care of Zion."

"You should also take care of yourself. Besides, I have already told Master Mo that I will let you meet Lydia."

Haniya was stunned by these words.

Nanny Liu was very excited as she stood my the side.

"Mrs. Ye, is this true?"

"It's true, but it might be the last time. Haniya, you have to be mentally prepared."

Mango knew Haniya's desire for family affection, but there were some things that could not be undone. It was already a miracle for Haniya to meet Lydia.

Haniya naturally knew this, so she nodded with a heavy heart.

Mango's sadness decreased a little because of the impact of this matter.

Haniya was sent out in a special car in the afternoon while she was accompanied by Nanny

Liu.

Haniya didn't have to take Nanny Liu with her, but she knew that Nanny Liu was extremely close to Lydia. Thus, she naturally hoped to give them a chance to say goodbye.

When Haniya sat in the reception room and saw Lydia come out in prison clothes, her eyes were still teary even though it was the first time she saw Lydia.

Lydia's eyes were calm, but she was more or less agitated when she saw Haniya.

"You shouldn't have come to this place."

"Mom..."

Haniya thought she could not call Lydia that, but she naturally said it out when she saw Lydia. Perhaps it was because of the blood relationship or something else. Not only did Haniya shout it out, but she also cried as well.

Lydia's eyes were filled with tears when she heard Haniya calling her 'Mom'.

"Alas..."

She never thought that she could still hear her daughter call her that in her lifetime.

Lydia actually wanted to hug Haniya, but she knew that she couldn't.

Lydia reached out to follow the outlines of Haniya's face across the glass and she tried to engrave it in her heart.

"Mom, are you okay in there?"

Haniya had heard of the things that happened in prison and she was very worried about it.

Lydia smiled and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. It's just that you won't have any relatives by your side in the future. You must take good care of yourself. You don't have to be rich, and I just want you to be safe and sound. It's my fault. I was forced to leave you that year, so please don't hate me."

"No! I don't hate you!"

Haniya knew that if it weren't for Lydia's ability to adapt to the situation, she might not have been able to survive until now. She might not even be able to know Mango and the rest of her friends, and she may not have her current life.

She just felt a little sorry that she had no chance to be with Lydia in this life.

They had to be separated as soon as they met, and it was very likely that they would be apart forever. It was really heart-wrenching.

Lydia smiled when she heard that Haniya did not hate her.

"My daughter is the kindest girl I know, but she doesn't have a good family. I heard that you have a boyfriend named Desmond, right? I didn't have the chance to meet him. I saved you a sum of money in the bank under Nanny Liu's name, which is my dowry for you. This is also the only thing that I can give you."

Haniya instantly felt uncomfortable.

"Mom, I don't need it. Actually, I just want to be with you."

Haniya knew that it was just her hope, but she couldn't help it.

How could Lydia not feel the same way?

But she had chosen the wrong path and there was no turning back.

She looked at Haniya with great reluctance and she wanted nothing more than for time to stop.

Nanny Liu burst into tears.

Although Lydia's crime was not confirmed, her sentence wouldn't be light because she protected Diego. She might even be sentenced to death.

"Miss!"

Nanny Liu cried and looked at Lydia.

Her whole life had been ruined by Diego.

Haniya walked away and went outside alone.

The cold wind whipped across her face, but she had no complaints because she felt extremely

down.

She had always known that no one could go against the law.

Nanny Liu came out in a few minutes, but her eyes were severely swollen. Although she tried her best to hold back her grief when she saw Haniya, it was extremely obvious.

Haniya patted on Nanny Liu's shoulder and whispered, "Nanny Liu, my mother's mood is calm. At least she lived her whole life with kindness."

"Miss, I just feel sad. I've been with her since she were young. Until now, I..."

Nanny Liu couldn't control herself, so Haniya could only comfort her.

It was already night when they came back. Haniya was exhausted and went back to the room, but she suddenly saw that Desmond. Although he shouldn't be here, he was sitting on her bed while he looked through the photos.

She was completely stunned and she thought that she was hallucinating.

Desmond couldn't help but laugh when he saw how child-like she looked.

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

"You... why are you here? Didn't Madam say it would take a few more days?"

Haniya was a little happy. She ran quickly and threw herself into Desmond's arms.

She realized that he was really here when she felt his warmth.

Desmond gently embraced her and said softly, "I missed you, so I rushed here immediately."

Haniya's face suddenly turned red.

When did he learn how to say such sweet words?

But she missed him as well.

Haniya felt completely at ease when Desmond's scent enveloped her.

"I just went to see my mother. If I had known that you would come, I should have taken you with her and let her see her son-in-law."

"There will be a chance in the future."

Desmond's words made Haniya's eyes dim.

"I don't think so. I heard that the results of the trial will be released tomorrow, and then my mom may..."

She couldn't finish her sentence.

Desmond knew about Haniya's desire for family affection. Now that she had finally found her loved ones, no one expected that things would end up like this.

He didn't know how to comfort Haniya, so he could only hug her and warm her up.

Haniya also knew that she should not be so idle. She couldn't help but smile and say, "I heard from Mrs. Ye that you are going to join the army in the capital?"

"Yes, I am."

Desmond nodded with tenderness in his eyes.

"So I'm going to propose to you. Dear Miss Bell, are you willing to marry me and be my wife?"

The proposal came so suddenly that Haniya was completely stunned.

"What? You don't want to?"

"I do!"

Haniya knew that she was willing to marry him at this time because she loved him sincerely.

There were no flowers or a ring, but Desmond's love for her was enough.

What she wanted was not just worldly possessions.

Desmond suddenly laughed when he heard Haniya's answer.

A loud bang could suddenly be heard and it sounded like an explosion, which startled Haniya.
