The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1648

"Haha! Dad, are you joking around with me?"

Mango couldn't help but laugh.

Didn't she know who Dennis was?

He was the role model of the military and head of the Hans family. He could just ask directly if he needed anything, and there was no need to plead.

Mango thought Dennis was joking with her. Then, she sat beside him.

After looking at how his daughter was suspecting her, Dennis suddenly said very seriously, "I really want to ask you for a favour."

Mango was startled by his serious expression.

"Dad, are you trying to do something?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Dennis smiled and patted her head while saying this.

He really wanted to see how Mango grew up. He felt guilty and regretful for not accompany his daughter throughout the important events in her life.

Mango's heart suddenly softened when she felt how much her father loved her.

"Dad, you're scaring me. Why are you suddenly acting this way? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Mango glared at him in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Dennis enjoyed how his daughter was pouting.

Then, he said lovingly, "Mango, the thing I regret the most is not being to accompany you while you were growing up personally. I regretted staying in my hometown taking care of your grandmother during your adolescence period. FUrthemore, I have devoted my whole life to the country, but I haven't been filial to my duties. Fortunately, you have Nathaniel by your side. Even if I'm gone one day, I'm glad that you still have someone to rely on."

"Dad, why are you saying that again? Everything's fine, and no one is blaming you for this."

Mango knew that Dennis was feeling very upset.

He had been living for so many years, but it wasn't what he desired. Also, he didn't even attend Madam Hans' funeral. Now, Terrance had been persecuted and he couldn't do anything about it. Although the others couldn't understand Dennis's pain, Mango could understand his emotions.

Then, she hugged him gently and said softly, "Dad, you've worked hard. In the future, you have to live a good life with mom. I'll make sure to be by the both of you."

After hearing this, Dennis's gaze immediately softened.

It was good to have a daughter. If possible, he wanted to live the life that Mango had mentioned about.

"Promise me that you'd take good care of your mom if I ever leave this world one day."

"Dad..."

Mango raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

"What are you trying to do?"

"What can I do? My retirement has been approved. I will be an ordinary person in just three days. I am just afraid that one day, I will leave earlier than your mother. If that happens, she definitely can't take it. After all, she has been living for love her entire line. As you know, she is really stubborn so don't blame her for that."

Upon hearing this, Mango felt that something wasn't right. However, she didn't know why.

"Dad, just tell me the truth. What are you planning to do?"

"I just came to see you. We have not had a good talk for years even though I'm your father. Also, I have not seen my two little grandsons. Do you have any photos of them? Let me have a look."

After hearing Dennis's words, Mango quickly took out her phone and found some photos of her children before handing it to him.

Mango smiled as she spoke as time passed by quickly. It had been an extremely long time since she felt like a little girl.

She was just like a young girl before she got married as she sat in Dennis' embrace. She told her father everything about the past and talked about how she and Rainie knew each other. Furthermore, she told him how Rainie had offended their classmates in school just to help her.

Suddenly, Mango was a little worried.

She wondered how Rainie was doing in the overseas battlefield.

Even Nathaniel and Walter couldn't find Thomas in such a chaotic place. Could Rainie do it?

On the other hand, when Dennis saw how emotional Mango had gotten, he felt bad for her.

"Rainie is a good friend ,and you should cherish her! She's worth your life." "Yes, Dad. Without Rainie, I wouldn't be the person I am right now. But she went to the battlefield while being pregnant. Alas! I'm worried if she can find Thomas by herself."

Mango could only tell Dennis about some of her worries. However, she couldn't say anything about the disappearance of her youngest son.

These two things weighed down on her heart heavily, so she felt suffocated.

Dennis's felt bad for her, so he said, "I have a way to help Rainie so that she can find Thomas."

"Really? Dad, do you have any ideas?"

Mango immediately became excited.

Dennis smiled and said, "It's a secret. You'll know it in the future. Do you have the clothes Thomas wore?"

"Huh? How could I have the clothes that Thomas have been wearing? But I think Rainie has one. Dad, why do you ask? Can you really find Thomas?"

When Dennis saw Mango's expectant gaze, he was truly touched, and he felt as if he had a new purpose to live.
