The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1036

"What's going on?"

Mango rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked.

Nathaniel patted her head and said, "It's okay, go to sleep, I'll call the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"Urgh! It's so troublesome. Can't she get the certificate tomorrow?"

Mango felt that Walter was too careless. After all, shouldn't he think more carefully about Deborah's proposal before agreeing to it?

At this thought, she yawned and laid down again.

Her bed felt as cosy as ever.

Well, it would feel even more comfortable if she had someone to warm her sheets now.

Mango muttered, "Hurry up, I can't sleep without you."

These words sounded particularly sweet to Nathaniel.

Thus, his lips curled up slightly in delight.

"Alright, I'll be there soon."

After that, he took the phone and walked out of the bedroom.

Meanwhile, Deborah had goosebumps all over her

body because of their conversation.

"Urgh! Mr. Ye, can you mute your microphone while you guys are all acting lovey-dovey?"

"Well, no one asked you to listen in to our conversation.."

Nathaniel was in a good mood, and he didn't even care about what Deborah thought.

"I will only help you this time. After all, Mango told me that she couldn't sleep without me. I'm sure you heard that too."

"Okay, okay, I know you love each other, so do it quickly. I promise I won't bother you anymore, and I'll also deal with those batches for you guys."

Nathaniel sneered and said, "To be fair, those batches are the ones trying to get in the way of your relationship, are they not?"

"Nah, you don't have to worry about who she is. Besides, don't you want Walter to stop looking at your wife? If you want that, just help me. Walter said that he would only give me one night to get our marriage certificate, and he's obviously trying to make things hard for me! But I'm not someone who will run away from hardships!"

Deborah cocked her chin smugly as she negotiated with Nathaniel.

Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Look, let me give you a piece of advice. You should probably rethink your decision again. If you marry a man with another woman in his heart, you will definitely suffer a lot." "It doesn't matter. He can never get the woman that he longs for, so why should I worry about her? As long as I love him with all my heart, I believe that one day he will undoubtedly fall in love with me too." "What if it's all to no avail, and he still doesn't love you?"

Upon hearing this, Deborah remained silent for a while. Then, she said with a smile, "If he doesn't love me, then so be it. Well, I still worked hard for me, so I can only let him go if he still doesn't fall in love with me."

"What about you then? You've already sacrificed so much for him, right?"

"Urgh! I'll spend the rest of my life alone then! Mr. Ye, why do you have so many questions today? Didn't your wife ask you rest early? Just do it quickly. Besides, we have the rest of our lives to figure this out, so who knows what will happen? Now that Walter gave me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it. As long as I become his legitimate wife, I can protect my love, my marriage, and him. Well have to see what happens after this then!"

Deborah said these words with a smile, but she tried to blink away the tears that had formed in her eyes.

After all, she had made this choice on her own because she loved this man. Therefore, she would go on and never give up no matter what happened.

Nathaniel was touched by her heartfelt confession, and he finally added.

"If he bullies you in the future, you can come and complain to Mango about it."

"Wow! Are you trying to say that you've got my back?"

Deborah felt relaxed and relieved when she heard this.

"Well, I'm afraid that you're going to have a hard time if I leave you alone! What if Walter has his eyes on my wife again once you decide to give up? After all, this will be beneficial for both of us. Also, you have to promise me that no matter what Walter does, you can't vent your anger on my wife, hate her or even harm her."

"I promise you that. If the man I like doesn't love me back, I will only blame myself for being too incompetent. Why would I blame another woman for that? Don't worry, I won't do anything to anger you. After all, Walter and I have to settle this problem on our own.

Nathaniel heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Deborah giving her word.

He suddenly felt that Walter needed a strong woman like Deborah to watch over him.

"Well, I'll do it for you, but you have to think about how you'll tell your dad about this."

"Oh, Mr. Ye, stop nagging! I'll take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Nathaniel could not help but shook his head in disapproval.

After that, he hung up the phone and called the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Although it was way past the working hour, the staff immediately got up and headed to the office after receiving Nathaniel's call.

Meanwhile, Deborah returned to the ward with a smile after her conversation with Nathaniel.

Walter looked at her smiling face and sighed.

"I was joking just now."

"But I was serious! Walter Song, can you live up to your promise? Aren't you a man? What's the matter? Hah! Are you perhaps afraid of marriage?"

Deborah looked at Walter provocatively.

Walter was devastated when he heard her taunt.

Other than the four most influential people in

Ocean City, who else could have the ability to summon the Civil Affairs Bureau in such a short time?

Why didn't he think that Nathaniel would help Deborah?

"Since when did you become so close with Nathaniel?"

"Well, I have to get along with him, right? After all, he is your cousin's husband."

Walter was even more depressed after hearing how Deborah addressed Mango.

"Well, even though you've already gotten the bureau to go to work, it's useless. I can't go to the office with you, right?"

Walter looked at Deborah with a smile as he said this.

However, Deborah didn't seem to care about it, and she said, "It doesn't matter. I'll get them to come to the hospital to handle it. After all, you are also an influential figure in Ocean City. Besides, they will do it for Mr. Ye too!"

"Deborah Grey, why do you insist on marrying me? Let me put it straight here. I don't love you, and if you end up marrying me, I think you'll end up crying every day instead!"

Walter said in a serious tone.

Deborah looked at him and said sternly, "I'll accept anything as long as you agree to marry me. What's the matter now? Mr. Walter Song, why don't you just tell me the truth?" Walter felt that since things had escalated this way, he had no choice but to tell her the truth.

"Okay. I promised a woman that I will provide her with a good life and happiness. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. I don't know how far we can go, but as long as you are my wife, I will respect you as my equal. will be loyal to you and our marriage, and I will try my best to protect you and perform my responsibilities as a husband to the best I can. However, I can't guarantee that I will end up having feelings for you. Deborah, think wisely."

Deborah didn't know what to do, and she suddenly felt like crying.

She looked at Walter and whispered, "Walter, one day, if you're tired of being with me, please tell me. I won't pester you, and I won't be unreasonable. I will leave you silently and give you the freedom you want but please don't hurt me. I love you, and I will try my best to give you the love that you need. So, if you have someone you love instead, please tell me at once."

Walter's heart suddenly ached when he heard her words.

"Come here. Let me give you a hug."

He stretched out his arms toward Deborah.

Deborah immediately rushed over and pounced on him, and he immediately groaned out in pain. At this moment, he realised that he had really found someone precious to him.

He didn't know why this silly woman was obsessed with him, and they had only met each other a few times! However, her passionate love had touched his cold heart.

"Walter Song, you're mine from now on. So only I can hug you in the future."

"Okay, Mrs. Song."

Walter's lips lifted slightly, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

Maybe Mango was right. Once he forgot about his feelings for her, he could find his own true love.

At this thought, Walter held Deborah tightly and affectionately as if he didn't want to let her go.

He buried his head on Deborah's shoulders and said softly, "Deborah, I'm actually a weak person. I'm afraid of a lot of things, such as the cold, the fire, and being alone. I know that I'm afraid of a lot of things,

so please don't let me go. Perhaps I'm a little confused and lost now. Since you've decided to hold my hand, please don't abandon me. I'll try my best to forget the past and try to accept you.

Don't hate me because of my past. To be honest, I feel ashamed of myself because you were so persistent."

"No, I won't! I will never let you go. Mr. Song, make sure you etch today into your memories. I, Deborah Grey, have officially become your wife."

"Alright."

They hugged each other tightly, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Suddenly, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau arrived, and Deborah finally let go of Walter.

Walter felt embarrassed when he saw this.

He was already a grown-up man, so how could he cry so easily?

He felt that marriage was a sacred thing, and it was unfair for Deborah to marry him so hastily without a proper ceremony.

From then on, she was Mrs. Song and also his spouse. Suddenly, he felt that his life wasn't that lonely anymore.

He felt very emotional at this moment. However, he didn't even buy Deborah a wedding ring!

"Mr. Song, are you going to register your marriage?"

"Of course, quickly do it for us."

Deborah was afraid that Walter would go back on his word, so she responded hurriedly.

When the steel stamp fell on the marriage certificate, Walter and Deborah were both nervous and startled.

From now on, they were a real couple.

Walter held her hand tightly and said, "Tomorrow, I will get the accountants to value my assets and hand them all to you. I have a few credit cards. You can decide how you want to manage my money. Then, you can either give me a card or give me a monthly allowance to spend."

"Huh? Why are you giving all this to me?"

Deborah was originally born from a rich family, so she was never interested in handling someone else's finances. However, she was happy when she saw how caring Walter was.

"This is the proof of a man giving all his power to a woman. It shows that he is willing to share all his assets with you and wants to share his life with you."

Walter gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Also, because you are Mrs. Song."

At this moment, Deborah couldn't hold back her tears of happiness anymore.

"Walter, you're so good to me, so how can I ever let you go?"

"Silly girl, you're Mrs. Song now. Do you still want to leave me?"

Walter smiled and embraced her lovingly.

He felt great!

It felt so good to have a home.

However, he felt even happier now because someone loved him!

Thank you, Mango Shen. Thank you for giving up and fulfilling my only wish.

Walter's eyes were glistening with tears. Right now, he clearly realised that Mango could only be his cousin from now on.
