The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1090

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel could not help but ask when he saw Mango's expression change.

"Oh, nothing. It's just some girls' talk."

Mango said hurriedly.

Since she had said so, Nathaniel could not ask any more questions.

"I'm going to see if there are any good restaurants nearby. You two can hang out first."

"Sure."

After saying that, Nathaniel left.

As soon as he left, Mango's face immediately turned pale.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course! I also heard it accidentally. I don't know how Walter will solve it, but I am afraid that he can't get over it. You know, apart from you, he cares about Sophia the most." Deborah's words made Mango's expression went broody.

Sophia had phoned Walter!

This was what Deborah had told her just now.

Sophia!

She was released from captivity because they wanted to lure out her father from abroad. They did not expect that she had the ability to take the opportunity to escape.

Now that Sophia was still a fugitive, she still dared to call Walter!

"What is she going to do by calling Walter now?"

Walter was about to get married. Did she come back to cause trouble?

Mango's mind was constantly thinking about these questions. Worries crept up her face.

Meanwhile, Walter's feelings for Sophia had always been complicated. For so many years, he had thought that Sophia was driven crazy by her father. In the end, he did not expect that Sophia used everyone. Would Walter forgive Sophia?

Mango did not know, but she felt a little uneasy.

"I'll talk to him later."

"Don't sell me out! He's my husband. We still have to live together this whole life."

Hearing Deborah's words, Mango immediately burst into laughter.

"Why do you have to be so careful? I see that you have won Walter's heart. Are you afraid that he leave you?"

"Yeah, of course I am! You know that he only married me because I was the one who took the initiative. Who knows if I have a place in his heart? If I mess with him because of this, I may not be Mrs. Song already."

Deborah's pitiful words amused Mango.

"I'm confused. Why do you like him? Don't you know that Walter used to be a playboy?"

"I know, but I just like him."

Deborah said with a smile, but her eyes were very serious.

"Why? I don't think there isn't any reason on your side."

Mango could not understand this either.

Deborah pondered for a while and said, "I'll tell you, but you can't tell him. I don't want him to treat me well because of what happened in the past. I want him to slowly discover me as myself and then fall in love with me."

"That confident?"

"Of course."

Deborah was a pretty girl, and her confidence made her look even more attractive.

Mango asked with some curiosity, "How did you get to know each other?" "Walter saved my life."

Hearing Deborah's words, Mango was slightly taken aback.

"When did it happen? How come I don't know? I haven't heard Walter mention it before. If he really saved such a beautiful woman like you, he would have courted you a long time ago. There is no need for you to chase after him now."

What Mango said made Deborah feel a little embarrassed.

"It's the truth! It's when he was still serving the army."

"What?"

Mango did not expect to hear such a reply.

Deborah said in a deep voice, "I was only eighteen that year. Just after my hair-pinning ceremony, my father gave me some money to let me go out and have fun, so I asked a few friends to go abroad with me. But I didn't expect that I was so unlucky to encounter a terrorist attack when I was shopping there. At that time, I was scared to death and thought that I would die. I didn't expect that the Strike Fighter Squad had come to our rescue. That was the first time I saw the soldiers in public. You don't know what feelings I had when I saw our own Strike Fighter Squad in a foreign country. What's more, it was a dangerous situation!"

Speaking of which, Deborah seemed to still remember her own fears and helplessness at that time.

She said in a deep voice, "At that time, the bullets flew around in the air and my friends were so scared that they screamed and dodged. I saw that some of them were shot, and their bright red blood splashed on my face. Looking at the scene, I felt that it was over and I might never see my father again. Then, a terrorist was machine gunning crazily around me. I thought I would be shot to death, but it was at this moment, a man directly held me in his arms and rolled over, protecting me."

Deborah's eyes revealed her affection towards Walter.

"You don't know how handsome he was at that time. I was so shocked. In order to save me, he was injured but he still sent me to a safer place and comforted me. After that, I saw him being carried to the hospital for treatment. So, I wanted to know how he was and searched for information about him crazily. However, the system of Strike Fighter Squad was very strict and I couldn't find any news about him. After I woke up, the terrorists were eliminated and the Strike

Fighter Squad had also withdrawn. Hence, I couldn't find any trace of him and I thought I had no chance to see him for the rest of my life."

Speaking of this, Deborah smiled sweetly.

She looked at Mango and said, "Do you understand? In the past few years, I've been staying overseas in order to find for him, but there was no news at all. This year, something happened to my dad's company. He couldn't handle it himself, so he had to ask me come back for help. Only then did I realize that the man I'm looking for is actually from the same city as me. So, is this fate?" Hearing her words, Mango really did not know what to say.

"So you started to chase after him?"

"Yes, I've been looking for him for so many years. How can I give him to another woman? I heard that he was going on a trip due to his heart broken love affair, so I followed him and constantly created opportunities to meet. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember me at all."

Speaking of this, Deborah felt somewhat sad.

Mango consoled her, "At that time, Walter was a soldier, saving people and maintaining the peace were his missions. He saved so many people, how could he possibly remember them? Besides, he has retired now, so he naturally wouldn't think about what happened in the past. Plus, you were only 18 years old at that time, and you are 26 now. How could he remember what happened all these years?"

"Yeah... so, it's fine if he can't remember because I can remember that incident. I like him and I will work harder to let him love me. If that's the case, it will be perfect."

Deborah's smile was bright.

So, this was love, huh?

Mango sighed internally to herself.

Walter was such a lucky fool.

Deborah was truly good to him. She did not care about getting any reward and she only hoped that they would grow old together.

Mango smiled, "If you tell him about this, he might treat you even better."

"No way. I want him to like me because of me, not because of anything else."

Deborah spoke confidently again.

Mango felt that she started to grow strong liking towards Deborah.

"Well, I will keep it a secret for you. By the way, what happened to Charlotte? Since you have been pursuing Walter, how could you not know Charlotte? How could Charlotte got him instead?" At the thought of Charlotte, Mango still felt a little awkward.

Deborah was also a little depressed and said, "Charlotte is a b*tch. Her encounter with Walter was totally unexpected. It was a donation drive that day and Walter passed by so he supported a college student, who was Charlotte. Although I knew it at that time, I still couldn't stop this kind of thing, right? After all, Walter was doing a charity. Who knew that Charlotte had a crush on him? I didn't see them in contact with each other along the way. I don't know how Charlotte know Walter's whereabouts. It's too annoying!"

Hearing Deborah's words, Mango was astonished.

"Do you mean that after Walter helped Charlotte, Charlotte has always been very familiar with his whereabouts?"

"Yes, otherwise how could she deliberately run into your car? How could she know beforehand that Walter was involved in an accident? Even I had not received the news at that time. She even called you and Nathaniel over. Um... how to explain this? I felt disgusted with her. She is a poor student, but somehow she has the ability to know Walter's whereabouts. I am also dumfounded!"

Mango listened carefully to Deborah's words.

Did Charlotte really pay attention to Walter's whereabouts because she liked him?

However, Mango could not believe that a student with no connection could trace Walter's whereabouts.

Perhaps Mango needed to visit Charlotte when she got back.

Maybe the fundraising event was also set up.

Mango did not want to think that way, but there were too many things happening recently. All the forces were ready to make a move, and Walter's wedding was around the corner, so she had to guard against it However, Mango did not tell Deborah about this matter.

She would not know Charlotte's identity until she asked. It would not be too late to tell Deborah about it.

After they chatted about something else, Nathaniel came back.

"There is a hot pot restaurant ahead. Let's go for a meal together? It will be warmer if we eat hot pot in this weather."

Nathaniel was wary of Mango's health. However, he was too embarrassed to speak directly, so he could only use the weather as a reason.

Deborah naturally understood, and she smiled, "Well, I haven't had hot pot for a long time. Okay, let's go then."

"Sure!"

They went to the nearby hot pot restaurant. The restaurant was crowded as this was an airport. When they reached, there was no available private room for them.

Mango smiled, "Then let's sit in the main hall. It's not bad to occasionally experience the life of a commoner."

Since Mango said so, Nathaniel naturally had no problem. While Deborah was an easy going person, she nodded and agreed.

They came to the seats by the window and sat down. Nathaniel handed the menu to Deborah and Mango and let them order.

Deborah smiled at Mango and said, "I'm fine with anything so just order away. Please excuse me to the washroom."

As she spoke, she turned around and walked out. Then, she saw a familiar figure walking toward the private room on the second floor when she looked up. Deborah's expression changed suddenly.
