The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1386

Just as she was about to catch up with them and listen to their conversation, she heard Denver behind her.

"Mango, you're up?"

"Ah, yes, how's Anaya?"

Mango turned around and suppressed the frustration in her heart.

"Mr. Acker said that the surgery was very successful. We'll need to observe her after she wakes up and if there is no infection, she'll be fine."

Speaking of this, Denver was very grateful.

Upon hearing this, Mango finally felt relieved.

"Anaya is still a child. Fate brought us together. You have to take good care of her."

"I will."

Denver nodded as he looked at Mango and pondered for a moment before saying, "Mango, after Anaya is alright, I will leave with her."

"Leave? Why?"

Mango was a little surprised.

She was surprised to meet Denver here in the first place and had wanted to take this chance to have a good talk with him. What happened to his leg? Was he still sitting in a wheelchair because it had not been cured yet?

Anyway, she had a bunch of questions to ask and had a lot to talk about, but now, Denver said that he wanted to leave?

Mango did not understand.

Denver, on the other hand, didn't hide anything from Mango and said in a low voice, "Anaya had gone missing and gone through many things. Her skills are very good now, so good that she can freely enter Angolla's palace without being detected. I've asked her about it and she doesn't know anything about the people who trained her. I'm afraid that someone is using her to do something irredeemable. So, I plan to take her away to a place where no one knows us. This way, we'll cut her off from the organization and perhaps we can even get her back."

Mango knew what Denver was thinking.

He was not only trying to get Anaya back but was also afraid that Anaya would hurt Mango and Nathaniel.

Denver was still as good as before, so good that Mango's heart ached.

"You are my younger brother. If you take her away like this, and if the organization locates you, how will you be able to defend yourselves? Denver, don't leave my sight. I will not allow anything bad to happen to you again. Leave Anaya to us. We have a way to set her free."

"Mango, I am a man. I am capable of handling things like these. Don't worry, I can't be of much help to you here, but it doesn't mean that I am a pushover who can be bullied easily by others. You said that I am your brother, right? How can I always bring trouble to my sister?"

"You have never brought me any trouble. Denver, don't say that. You are a warm- hearted man. I don't want to let you go."

Mango hugged Denver as she spoke.

She owed him, the Blu family, and Rainie, and she didn't know how she would repay them.

Denver gently patted her back and said with a smile, "Mango, I don't want to leave you, either. I'm a grown- up now, and it is necessary for me to experience things like separation. But as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I believe when we meet again, I would have already become the man that Rainie and you will be proud of."

Hearing this, Mango knew that Denver had already made up his mind.

Although he was caring, he was a decisive and firm man. Once he made a decision, he would not change his mind easily. It seemed that he had planned this for a long time.

Although Mango was reluctant to let him leave, she couldn't force him to stay. Besides, it was really not safe here.

Then, she let go of Denver and ruffled the hair on his forehead while saying, "If you need anything, just tell me. You're my younger brother, alright? Don't you dare treat me as an outsider."

"Alright."

Denver's eyes were a little warm as tears threatened to well up.

He knew that Mango was Rainie's best friend, and at first, he was just trying to repay her kindness for taking care of his sister. However, he did not expect that the more time he spent with her, the more he felt that she deserved everything he and his sister did for her.

Actually, the affairs of the Blu family had nothing to do with Mango, but she insisted on taking the burden. Denver knew that they were bounded tightly together, so in this case, it was a good thing to have another sister.

"Take good care of Anaya. When you have settled down and found out who's controlling her, we can arrange for the two sisters to meet. I think Priscilla misses her very much too."

"Alright."

Denver nodded and walked into the room once again.

Suddenly, a hand came from behind her and instantly pulled her into an embrace. The familiar scent immediately made Mango recognize who was behind her.

"What are you doing?"

She escaped out of Nathaniel's arms and felt a little upset.

On the other hand, Nathaniel had a darkened expression on his face.

"You hugged him for more than 30 seconds! Mango, Denver is a man!"

"So what?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Mango's eyes as she asked.

Hearing this, Nathaniel became a little angry.

"So what? You've never hugged me like that before!"

"Yeah, but I didn't grab your arm and leave just like that. Denver is a man, and everyone can see that. Priscilla is a woman, but it seems that someone is blind to see that."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mango turned and left.

Nathaniel paused for a moment, and as he understood what she had meant, he grinned.

"Are you jealous?"

"Why would I be?"

He seldom saw Priscilla cry, but she had cried when she told him about it earlier. Seeing her this upset and helpless made him feel sad too.

Apart from what they had gone through together, everything that Priscilla had done for the Baxter Alliance over the years was enough for him, a leader, to help her out.

Afraid that Mango might misunderstand, Nathaniel explained hurriedly, "Priscilla is like a sister to me. After all, I was the one who picked her up and taught her her skills personally back then. We've been into battle together too, and she saved my life several times. Now that she has come to me for help, I can't just leave her alone. Besides, this is the first time she's begging me."

Mango knew that Priscilla had saved Nathaniel's life, and although she was a little unhappy with Priscilla's feelings for Nathaniel, she also knew that Priscilla had already put her feelings in the past. Mango knew that she was only getting worked up for nothing.

After hearing Nathaniel's words, as a woman, Mango knew what not having a choice felt like. Besides, a haughty woman like Priscilla could never stand being controlled by a man, right?

"Okay, when my brother wakes up, I'll ask him what's going on."

Mango nodded and agreed.

When he heard this, Nathaniel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Nathaniel was the one who went to talk to Tristan, Nathaniel would definitely make a move, and once he did, Tristan would probably misunderstand Nathaniel's relationship with Priscilla. Even though Tristan's feelings for Priscilla were unsure, he was still Mango's brother. If Tristan misunderstood that his brother-in-law was helping and speaking up for another woman, he would probably be furious.

Therefore, it was most appropriate for Mango to step up instead.

Nathaniel locked Mango in his arms and whispered, "Baby, Tristan hasn't woken up yet anyway. We don't have anything to do right now. Why don't we do something meaningful?"

"No."

Mango didn't want to let Nathaniel have his way.

He was getting more shameless day by day!

"I haven't seen all of the Acker family's mansion yet. I'm going out for a stroll."

After saying that, Mango stood up and left.

Nathaniel was a little depressed, but he quickly followed her after grabbing a coat.

"Can't you wear more when you go out? After all, we are not in Ocean City. What if you catch a cold?"

Nathaniel was a little worried.

However, Mango said nonchalantly, "It's fine. My brother is a doctor. If I fall ill, he can treat me."

When he heard this, Nathaniel's face sank suddenly.

"You don't sound like the person who will need to receive injections and medicines if you fall ill."

Nathaniel's cold words immediately shut Mango's mouth.

Fine, she was indeed afraid after taking countless injections and medicines not long ago, so she put on her jacket obediently and walked out of the room with her hand in Nathaniel's. However, she noticed that the atmosphere of the Acker family's mansion seemed a little off.
