The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1470

Mango was fierce and domineering, but Walter felt especially touched by her kindness. After his romantic feelings for her turned into a brotherly affection, he truly cherished the friendship between them. "Okay, I promise you."

Meanwhile, Deborah was surprised by the gentle tone and warm smile on his face. She immediately stood on tiptoe and grabbed Walter's collar, "Which woman are you talking to? How dare you do this in front of me? Walter, you're bold, aren't you?"

Mango was stunned. Then, she burst into laughter.

"Deborah, it's me."

Mango's bright and clear voice rang out, and Deborah immediately feel embarrassed.

"Oh, it's Mango. Your brother was being sneaky when he answered the phone. I thought he was hooking up with some other women. Anyway, have fun chatting. I'll go shopping."

After that, Deborah loosened her grip on him and patted his shoulder. However, Walter noticed the disappointment in her eyes.

Deborah knew him very well. She knew exactly the kind of affection he had for Mango previously. Hence, Walter understood that she was having a hard time.

After all, she would get jealous too.

However, Deborah couldn't even show her jealousy because Mango was his cousin.

Walter suddenly felt distressed at this thought.

He finally understood the meaning behind Mango's words.

Mango told him that he would definitely meet the love of his life someday, and his affection for the woman would be more than what he imagined.

At this moment, he realised his feelings for Deborah. He loved and cared for her more than anyone else.

Mango had Nathaniel, while Deborah only had him. Furthermore, they had just lost their child.

At this thought, Walter hurriedly said, "I will call my subordinate, but I don't know what will happen. Mango, I'm sorry, I may not be able to help you this time. Deborah has been feeling down recently, and I want to spend more time on her."

Upon hearing this, Mango was stunned for a moment.

Wow! Her cousin finally paid attention to Deborah!

After all, this was part of life. They had to make choices and prioritise some relationships over others constantly.

She wasn't sad about losing Walter. On the contrary, she was glad that he could finally understand the meaning she was trying to convey all this time. Once they grew up, they would get married, and there would be people they loved and cherished. However, this did not mean that the affection between them had faded away. Instead, this told that they had become more mature.

Perhaps they would feel disappointed because they were mature, but it was more comforting. Everyone had their own family to protect. The only person who could accompany them until the end of their life was their loved ones.

Therefore, Mango sincerely wished him all the best and said, "I understand."

"Sorry Mango. Deborah has been through alot because of me. Now that she has lost our child, I really want to focus my attention on her and not be too distracted by other matters."

Walter felt sorry towards Mango as he said these words.

In the past, he would do everything without hesitation whenever Mango called him, just like how he had never regretted what he had done in the Underground City.

However, he wasn't alone now. He had Deborah and the entire Grey family by his side. Although he wanted to help Mango, he couldn't put his family's safety on the line. Hence, he would find a way to balance things out even if he wanted to help Mango.

Although it was difficult, he had to do this. After all, he was Deborah's husband and the son-in-law of the Grey family.

"It's okay. You don't have to apologise. I didn't intend for you to participate either. You can just give me the number, and I will contact the person. In this way, you and your family won't be involved." Walter felt upset when he heard what Mango had said.

He had never thought that there would come a day when he would abandon Mango to protect another woman. Despite that, he felt extremely down for some reason.

"You can still find me if you need any help. After all, I am your cousin."

"All right."

Mango hung up the phone after saying that.

Then, Walter almost feared up when he heard the beeping sound coming from the other side of the phone.

Wasn't he being too selfish?

He suddenly felt a little distressed.

Then, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Deborah from behind tightly. He was so sad that he wanted to cry.

Meanwhile, Deborah was shocked by his actions as he was acting weirdly.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen to Mango? Is her baby in danger? Where's Nathaniel? Let's go to the Ye family." Deborah quickly grabbed Walter's hand and was about to run to the Ye family, but she was stopped by Walter.

"No, she's fine."

Walter said with choked sobs.

It was rare for Walter to be so emotional, so she could not help but ask concernedly, "What's wrong with you? Tell me quickly, I'm worried."

"It's fine. I'm just glad to have you. But it's a little unfair to you because you found a man like me."

Deborah started tearing up after hearing what Walter had said, and suddenly, all her grievances and sadness had disappeared.

She didn't ask for much. In fact, she already felt loved after hearing these heartwarming words.

However, she raised her head and forced back her

tears.

"Walter Song, are you crazy? Why are you suddenly talking about this? What's wrong with you?" "Deborah, let's go on a trip. Which country do you want to go to? Our honeymoon trip is not over yet." Walter suddenly smiled as he said these words.

He released Deborah and tucked her long hair behind her ear with tenderness in his eyes. Deborah saw her own reflection from his eyes, and she felt extremely disgusted by her teary face. "Walter, are you trying to make me look like a fool? Urgh! Why are you so annoying now?" Then, she raised her fist and punched toward Walter's chest.

Walter held her hand tightly and said, "Is it a yes?"

Deborah was silent when she heard this.

She lowered her head and looked up at Walter after a long moment of pause. Then, she whispered, "Is there something wrong with Mango? Otherwise, she won't call you suddenly as she usually doesn't disturb us. It's an emergency, right?" "Nothing. In fact, her husband is Nathaniel Ye.

There's nothing he can't do, right? She just called to check up on me."

Walter said hurriedly.

Meanwhile, Deborah noticed a flash of uneasiness in his eyes as she was observant.

She wasn't a fool, but she could pretend to be one.

Then, Deborah looked at him in the eyes as she wanted to believe that everything was real. She wanted to think that Mango was all right and that Walter really wanted to take her out to travel. In fact, she was even delighted by his suggestion.

Without Mango's presence, both of them could finally be a couple.

After all, she didn't mind Walter's affection for Mango. She tolerated him because she loved him too much. However, that didn't mean she wouldn't be jealous.

She was particularly sad and distressed whenever Walter sacrificed his safety to help Mango.

Deborah even thought that she was a bad woman because of this.

She supported Walter whenever the latter helped Mango because she wanted to show how forgiving she was. However, she held resentment against Mango whenever Walter was in danger. After she had lost her child, she felt even more upset.

She needed Walter to accompany her, but the latter left her when Mango and Nathaniel needed help in Angolla. At that moment, she really felt that she was so hypocritical.

She didn't want Walter to go, and she didn't want other women to occupy all his thoughts and attention. However, she still had to show her consideration and supportive side to him.

Finally, Walter decided to abandon Mango and travel overseas with her. Did this mean that Walter chose her over Mango?

Although she was supposed to be happy and delighted, why was she feeling anxious and teary?

She suddenly pushed Walter away and squatted on the side of the roads. Then, she curled up as she started crying, and Walter felt heartbroken when he saw this.

In fact, he was stunned!

"Deborah, what's wrong with you? Do you feel sick? I'll take you to the hospital. Let's go home first."

As Walter was about to carry her, he was pushed away once again.

"Don't touch me!"

Deborah had been suppressing her emotions for a long time, and she couldn't hold it in anymore upon hearing Walter's words.

She was crying so childishly, but she couldn't control herself.

"Walter Song, you don't have to treat me so well. I'm not as good as you think. Everything is fake, do you know? It's all fake! I can't control myself and my feelings. I have to pretend to ignore my real emotions and put on an act before you. In your eyes, I am generous and considerate. I am the best wife and the best sister-in-law. Why? Why did you decide to ruin this facade?"

Deborah felt that she had gone insane.

Wasn't this what she had been expecting all along? Suddenly, she felt that she was making a fool out of herself.

It turned out that Walter knew everything.

Then why had she pretended to be so forgiving and considering all this time?

Would he think that she was a hypocrite too?

Did he regret marrying her?

In fact, she had always been acting very cautious in this relationship.

She looked free and easy, and she seemed to be on friendly terms with Mango. In fact, she was just afraid that Walter would dislike her.

She carefully maintained her image, but Water had seen through her act easily.

Did Mango see through it as well?

So how could she face them in the future?

"I'm fine! I can wait until you're done helping Mango before going on a trip with you. Really, I'm not in a hurry."

Deborah held back her tears and wanted to laugh, but her whole body was twitching. Upon seeing her this way, Walter was feeling heartbroken and suffocated.

For the first time, he deeply understood how much harm he had done to his wife.

He should never have taken her consideration and tolerance for granted. This had happened because he didn't know how long she had suffered because of these emotions didn't know how much she had sacrificed for him.

At this thought, Walter grabbed Deborah and directly picked her up before saying aggressively, "Let's go home!"
