The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 1990

Desmond drove the car aimlessly on the road, and his mind was in a mess.

In fact, he had been wanting to find Mango all these years, but he couldn't go. Now she was here, but because Anton lost her whereabouts and news again, Desmond felt depressed.

Suddenly, he found something on a wall and quickly drove the car over. Only then did he see that it was the signal of the Dark Night Empire.

Was someone from the Dark Night Empire here?

Desmond suddenly became excited.

Later, he thought about it. "No, this should be the signal left by Mango!"

Desmond got excited again.

He followed the signal to find a very ordinary residential area, and then stopped at the gate of a unit building.

This was a very ordinary home building, which was in the form of a small apartment.

Desmond parked the car, and then walked according to the signal to the third unit.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and reached out his hand to gently knock on the door.

When Mango opened the door, Desmond was stunned. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

A dozen or twenty years had passed, but Mango's appearance did not seem to have changed much. She was still so beautiful, and there was already some white hair on his temples.

"Madam!"

Desmond's throat was a little excited, and his eyes were a little red.

Mango was slightly stunned. She had never imagined that the person would be Desmond.

She was careless!

She had originally wanted Merle to come over.

But since he was here, she was too embarrassed to drive him out.

"Just yourself? Where's your wife?"

Mango asked casually before opening the door. She was the first to turn around and walk in.

Desmond quickly entered the room, took off his shoes, and put them aside. Then, he looked outside cautiously before closing the door.

Even though he was old, he still respected Mango from the bottom of his heart.

"Anton is still a child. It's my fault to ask you to come to see me instead. Don't be mad."

"It's nothing. Why should I be angry with a child? Besides, Anton is very good."

Mango casually made Desmond a pot of tea.

"Have a seat."

"Alas."

Desmond sat on the opposite side of Mango in a somewhat reserved manner.

Mango noticed that Desmond had changed.

He seemed to see that she was very excited, but there was a trace of guilt in his eyes, which made her a little confused.

What was there to feel guilty about?

Because of what happened?

That really wasn't the case.

If her guess was correct, Desmond and Haniya's seclusion in the past might have been a trap set up by the higher-ups, in order to let them or their son enter Fang Group and become their technological staff, to master the latest genetic technology.

To a soldier, this was an order, as well as a mission!

No matter what kind of relationship Desmond had with her, he had been a citizen of the country since the day Desmond had entered the military region. It was understandable that he had kept it from her. Mango would not have tried to find fault with him. She was indeed a little overreactive when she was in the car earlier.

She eased her mood and served Desmond a cup of tea. She said with a smile, "Why are you here alone? Where's Haniya? How have you been these years?"

Mango asked the same question again.

When Desmond heard Mango ask about Haniya, his face darkened a little, but he whispered, "She has something to do, so she can't come."

"Anton told me that you were in poor health. What's wrong? Didn't you go to the hospital? We're not young anymore. We need to take good care of ourselves."

Hearing Mango's words, Desmond nodded slightly.

The topic became a little cold for a while.

Mango found that after so many years, she really didn't know what to talk about with Desmond.

They used to be the closest comrades- inarms and buddies in Dark Night Empire, but since Desmond went to the military region, they had not had much contact with each other. Moreover, they had no news of each other these years, and neither of them was familiar with each other's current life. They were really the most familiar strangers.

This kind of speechless embarrassment was also felt by Desmond.

He felt more and more uncomfortable.

If it weren't for Mango and Nathaniel, he wouldn't have been able to survive, let alone get married and have children. He wouldn't have died hundreds of times just because of his strange blood.

She was obviously his benefactor and had a lot of things to say, but at this moment, she found that there seemed to be a hint of estrangement in all the words, and she could no longer find the previous closeness with him.

Desmond suddenly felt a little wronged, and his eyes turned red, like a wronged child sitting there with a cup in his hands. No one knew what he was thinking and what he was going to do. He even felt particularly abrupt and uneasy sitting there.

With a plop, a drop of hot tears dripped into the teacup, which immediately shocked Mango.

"Desmond, what's wrong with you?"

Before Mango could finish her sentence, Desmond burst into tears.

Men's crying was different from women's, but the more silent they were, the more depressed they were, and the more uncomfortable they felt.

Mango panicked a little.

She had thought of any kind of situation when she saw Desmond, except for the sudden and helpless person who came this time.

"No, what's wrong with you? Don't cry! If Haniya saw you and thought I was bullying you. What happened?"

Mango didn't know whether to comfort him or not.

Neither of them was young anymore.

In the past, they were close buddies and comrades-in-arms. It was not a big deal for her to comfort him and pat him on the shoulder. But now that their children were getting married, it would be inappropriate for her to do this again.

However, Mango really didn't want Desmond to feel bad.

"If you do this again, I'll call Haniya."

Mango could only use this trump card.

"Don't! Don't give her a call!"

When Desmond heard that she was going to call Haniya, he immediately stopped her, but his mood was also controlled. He quickly wiped his tears and said with some embarrassment, "Sorry about that."

"You scared me to death!"

Mango couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She felt much better and it made Desmond chuckle a little.

"Well, I think you've been crazy these years, haven't you? You're crying and laughing. Even if your son sees you, he might feel ashamed. How old are you? Why didn't I notice your crying hobby before? Does Haniya know that?"

After hearing Mango's words, Desmond finally relaxed a little.

He looked at Mango and suddenly knelt down, which startled Mango again.

"No, Desmond, you're here to scare me into having a heart attack, aren't you? Get up quickly! What are you doing!"

Mango was about to help Desmond up, but he dodged her.

"Madam, just let me kneel. I feel more comfortable kneeling in my heart. Otherwise, I'm too ashamed to see you. Or I'll give you a knife or you can kill me. I haven't had a good sleep in the past few years. I haven't had a good meal. If I don't see you again, I'm afraid I'll go crazy!"
