The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 566

Mango sensed his guilt radiating off of him and she grabbed his hand. Then, she said, "What's wrong? Why do you look like you made a mistake? Are you having an affair behind my back?" "How is that possible? I only have my eyes for you, and no other woman in the world can compare to you."

Mango felt delighted upon hearing his words.

"Stop it, you silver-tongued fox."

I'm serious. Don't you know how I feel for you?"

Nathaniel wasn't a sweet talker, and sometimes Mango even felt that he was a dull person. However, his flattery and sweet nothings made her feel loved.

"Although you're saying this, what if I die one day? Time heals all wounds, and maybe you'd forget about me in a few years time. Perhaps you'll fall in love again when a beautiful woman appears." Mango made a tentative speculation.

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's expression suddenly darkened.

"Nonsense, we still have a long way to go. Even if one day we get old and sick, I will make sure that I am by your side. By then, the kids will be married and live their own life without us. I'll stay with you until the day we die."

Although he said it casually, but she still was shocked to hear it.

She knew that he would really do as he said.

What would he do if she really died in two days?

She had no idea what would happen, but she was obviously terrified.

She looked at him and muttered in a serious tone, "Nathaniel Ye, promise me that you will live well no matter what happens to me. Our kids are still young. They can't afford to lose their father after losing their mother. You can't do this, as I would rather you forget about me after I die, and then live a happy life. I don't wish that you'd follow after me to death and leave our children to become orphans. Promise me!"

She looked at him with a serious and stern gaze.

Nathaniel frowned slightly at that.

"What's wrong with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

She was slightly taken aback by his quick-witted intuition. Therefore, she hurriedly said, "What do I have to hide from you? Do you think that I would fall in love with someone else?"

"Don't change the topic. Why do I feel that there's something wrong with you? It sounds like you're telling me your last words."

"Nathaniel Ye, do you really want me to die?"

Mango suddenly became angry.

Seeing that, Nathaniel hurriedly said, "I don't! I wish to spend forever with you."

Did he want to be with her forever?

Could they really do it?

Bitterness filled her chest, but she pretended to be angry and said, "Then what do you mean by that? Why are you insisting that I'm saying my last words?"

"I didn't mean that. I just..."

"What are you trying to say? Let me tell you, I mean what I say. If you don't promise me, I will hide far away from you in my next life, so that you can't find me anymore."

Mango flung off his hands angrily and stomped away. However, her heart was already in the process of shattering to pieces.

Time passed so quickly, and she even wished that time would stop here. She hoped that they could stay together until the end of time, but was it

possible?

She had no idea at all.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was angry at his stupidity for making her mad.

He quickly ran after her and said, "Don't be angry, it's all my fault, okay? I'll promise you whatever you want, as long as you stop being mad."

"Really? You're the one who said it, yeah?"

Mango looked at him with a serious expression.

He nodded quickly.

"I promise."

"That's more like it."

Then, she suddenly started laughing.

Nathaniel shook his head and poked the tip of her nose affectionately, "Stop bullying me."

"You asked for it!"

Then, she threw herself into his arms, using them to hide the tears and reluctance in her eyes.

He stroked her long hair and said, "Well, I'll let it go. I'm willing to be bullied by you for the rest of my life."

"How long can a lifetime be?"

She couldn't help but ask.

Some people's lives were decades- long. In the past, she used to think that she could live forever with him until the day they died. However, it seemed that there might only be two days left in her life.

No one knew how sad and reluctant she was now. She even wanted to go back to see Rita and Zion as she yearned to take a second look at her two children that she gave birth to.

However, she couldn't do anything now.

Fortunately, Nathaniel was still by her side.

She was glad that she was spending her last moments with the person she loved the most.

However, he didn't know what she was thinking. Then, he said softly, "You can live as long as you want with me."

"Look at you. You're talking as if you're omnipotent and you can control time."

"Of course I can!"

Nathaniel suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her to the rose bushes in the backyard. Then, he took out her phone and turned on the camera. He adjusted it and focused it on their faces. "Come on, smile for the camera!"

He looped his arm around her tightly.

Mango was stunned for a moment.

It was the first time that she had seen Nathaniel doing such a thing.

Nathaniel hated taking photos, and there were very few photos between them.

However, Nathaniel actually took the initiative to take photos with her this time, and he even used her mobile phone. She was very surprised, but she was delighted.

"Do you want to strike a pose?"

Mango asked mischievously.

Nathaniel frowned slightly and asked, "How?"

Mango immediately laughed out loud.

"You're really outdated. Don't you know how to pose for a picture? Look at me do it."

Mango started gesturing as she spoke.

Nathaniel looked at it as he frowned and said, "What's this?"

"Nathaniel Ye, why are you so clueless?"

Mango immediately felt that she had been ridiculed.

However, Nathaniel said seriously, "It doesn't matter anyway."

"Nathaniel, you're asking for a spanking, don't you?"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves. At the same time, Nathaniel turned around and ran

away.

Seeing his carefree and playful character, she was filled with happiness. However, bitterness also rose in her chest.

The two of them continued to fool around in the courtyard for a while. Eventually, Mango caught hold of Nathaniel and forced him to take a photo.

They took dozens of photos together. Some were funny, naughty, and some were lively. Furthermore, Nathaniel would try his best to cooperate with her requests. Although it wasn't perfect, she was extremely satisfied.

After messing around for a few hours, she looked a little tired. Then, Nathaniel whispered, "Go back and rest for a while. We can do this again tomorrow if you still want to."

"It's a pity that we can't leave now. Otherwise, we can go outside and take some nice photos."

Mango was slightly disappointed.

This might be the last photo of the two of them together.

Then, Nathaniel noticed the disappointment in her eyes.

"Who said we can't? As long as you want to, I can get you out of here and take pictures as much as you like."

Mango was moved by his words. However, she hesitated when she thought of his current condition and the situation outside. She shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's alright." "Alright. When we get back to Ocean City, I'll take you for photoshoots in every corner of the city."

She was moved by his loving words.

She smiled and said, "Really? You'd do it even if I ask you to act cute in front of everyone in the Ocean City?"

"Act cute?"

He frowned, and he looked embarrassed.

"Will you do it or not?"

Mango was teasing him on purpose.

Then, he hesitated and said, "If I can't manage it, you can't be mad, okay?"

"Of course not! It's a deal! Later on, you will put on a cute skirt and beautiful makeup. As for me, I will wear a handsome suit and meet you on the Rainbow Bridge."

"What?"

Nathaniel suddenly regretted it.

As a prominent figure in Ocean City, how could he be seen on the Rainbow Bridge in a dress?

He had goose bumps all over his body at the

thought of it.

"Mango Shen, can you stop with your crazy ideas?"

"You're the one who promised me you'd do it."

She curled her lips and pouted cutely.

Hence, he was immediately defeated by her expression.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll go all out! I'll do whatever my wife wants just to make her happy."

"Hubby, you're amazing!"

Mango gave him a peck on the lips before turning around and running away. However, the moment she turned away, she couldn't help but cry.

It seemed that her wish would never come true.

She really wanted to see what Nathaniel would look like in women's clothing. Unfortunately, she wouldn't be able to witness it. However, she never expected him to agree to it, which was completely beyond her expectations. At the same time, she felt sorrowful.

It was really a heart-wrenching pain that the man she loved for most of her life was about to part ways with her.

Afraid that he would notice her tears, she ran away quickly. Just then, she suddenly bumped into Yama Hades, who was coming from the opposite side.

"Holy crap! What are you doing?"

Yama Hades almost broke into curses as she tumbled down onto the ground. However, she noticed the tears in Mango's eyes.

"You're crying? Did that stinking lad bully you?"

Her expression suddenly darkened.

"I knew it, men are all up to no good. Wait for me. I'll teach him a lesson right now."

While saying this, Yama Hades quickly stood up and walked toward Nathaniel angrily.

Mango was terrified to see that Yama Hades had misunderstood. Although she didn't know why Yama Hades was filled with righteous indignation for her, she absolutely couldn't let Nathaniel find out that she was crying. Otherwise, how else would she explain it?

Just then, she tripped onto the floor. In a moment of desperation, she quickly tried to grasp onto something. However, a pair of cold hands had reached out to her and tightly hugged her waist.
