The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1472

While Noah was on the way back to the office, he thought for a moment and decided to tell Nathaniel about the matter.

Nathaniel was speechless when he heard it.

He was taken aback by what had happened with Deborah.

Well, he knew that Deborah had been having some difficulties, but he never expected that she would be in emotional distress after losing her child.

Deborah loved the child. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out the way she wanted. The child wasn't destined to be in this world and left prematurely. Therefore, it had definitely made a huge impact on Deborah's well being.

The relationship between her and Walter was complicated. She was being tolerant while Walter acted recklessly. Despite that, they would not blame anymore for this misfortune. It was their first marriage and their first love. None of them had experience in love, so they could only go through these hardships.

At this thought, Nathaniel sighed and came to Mango's room.

He knew that Mango would feel very remorseful if she were to find out about it. However, it would be unfair to keep this matter from her.

Meanwhile, Mango noticed Nathaniel's bitter expression the moment he walked in.

"What's wrong? Is there any news from Desmond?"

"No."

Nathaniel sat beside her and pulled her into his embrace while saying this.

"I have something to tell you."

"Yeah? What is it?"

Mango raised her head slightly and looked at him. Nathaniel was about to speak but stopped on second thought. Upon seeing this, she was puzzled.

"What's the matter? What's so hard for you to talk about? Are you planning to have an affair?"

"Stop it. I'm serious. It has something to do with Walter."

Mango was stunned by his words.

"I just called him not long ago. What happened?"

She looked at Nathaniel with a baffled expression while asking this.

Then, Nathaniel told her about Deborah's condition.

Mango was shocked when she heard this.

"What? How could this be?"

"Noah told me this, so it should be the truth. Furthermore, Walter just knew about it."

Upon hearing his words, Mango immediately felt a sense of self-blame.

"Urgh! It's my fault. I shouldn't have gone to Walter for help after they got married. Besides, it's not like Deborah doesn't know about the relationship between me and him. Of course, she would feel uncomfortable by it. She's only tolerant because she's too deeply in love. Perhaps it's best for me to leave the couple alone."

Mango did not expect things to turn out this way.

While Deborah was having a miscarriage, she and Nathaniel were entangled with the issues abroad, while Walter needed detoxification. There was no one to accompany Deborah when she was going through a challenging period.

Hence, Walter was busy helping her out with the matter abroad while Deborah suffered a miscarriage.

Although Mango didn't know what had happened, she understood the feeling of helplessness and despair that Deborah had experienced during that period.

She was deeply in love with Walter and she hoped to be cherished by him. She always hoped that he would stay by her side during the difficult times. However, she was forced to face it alone every time. She couldn't show her jealousy, so she had to be strong and perfect.

However, she felt so wronged.

At the thought of this, Mango suddenly felt sorry for her.

"It's my fault."

Mango felt terribly bad.

However, Nathaniel held her gently and said in a low voice, "We can't blame others for this. Walter did not settle any issues because of his new family. Since the beginning, he has been helping us at all costs, and this remained the same after his marriage. Deborah is very tolerant of us and supportive of him, making him think that he's doing the right thing. I believe that this is a good lesson for him to grow up."

"It must've been tough on them. Let's not bother them in the future if anything happens."

Mango felt a little uncomfortable when she said it.

She and Walter had been very close friends. Although they were not in a relationship, they had indeed gone through a whole lot together. Furthermore, they were relatives, so she would constantly ask him for help. However, she did not expect that this would cause trouble to the couple.

Perhaps she was the one who needed a lesson too.

The only person who could help her voluntarily was her lover.

Then, Mango rubbed Nathaniel's chest and said in a low voice, "Honey, you have to work harder in the future. Our family will be counting on you."

"Sure. I will work hard."

Nathaniel smiled slightly as he said these words.

At this moment, Walter sent a message, and Mango paused slightly.

'Til send you the number of the subordinate. There are some things that I probably can't help you with. Deborah isn't in good health, and I'm going to take her abroad for treatment. Take care." Walter was firm with his decision after sending the message.

Right now, he had someone more important to protect. There are many people around Mango who could help her, including her uncles, grandfathers, husband, and children. Meanwhile, he was the only person Deborah could rely on.

Walter was determined to live a good life with Deborah from the moment they got married. He genuinely loved her from the bottom of his heart. Although he did not fall in love with her at first sight, she had been an irreplaceable part of his life since the beginning.

If Deborah felt uncomfortable living the in Ocean City, or if she was displeased with his close relationship with Mango, he would rather give up everything and accompany her to the ends of the earth. Also, he would protect her for the rest of his life.

At this thought, Walter finally calmed down his emotions and went to see Deborah.

Meanwhile, Deborah didn't dare to look him in the eyes. She was flustered and perplexed by her current state. Although she didn't want to make things difficult for him, she was at a loss because she didn't know what to say.

Then, Walter came to Deborah and knelt on one knee with tenderness in his eyes.

"I just did a quick search. It's a perfect time to travel to Greece. I remember that you were interested in Greek mythology the most. How about that? Would you like to go with me?"

He still remembered the time when he saved Deborah, she had a Greek myth in her hand.

However, Deborah replied uncertainly, "Then, what about Mango..."

"It's not my responsibility to take care of her, and someone else can do it as well. Today, she came to find me because she wanted my subordinate's number. Moreover, her husband is Nathaniel, one of the four most influential people in Ocean City. She has the Hans family, her grandpa, and cousins like Tristan guarding her. I'm not obligated to help her. Deborah, you're overthinking."

Walter tucked Deborah's hair behind her ear and said softly, "You are the one who I want to cherish for my whole life, so don't abandon me. I hope that I can accompany you when you need me the most. Back then, you should've called me to tell me that you were in the operating room, and I wouldn't have left you."

Deborah was suddenly dumbfounded when she heard this.

What did he say?

Did he just say that he wouldn't have left?

How was this possible?

The other person here was Mango!

It was someone that Walter prioritised more than his own life!

"Hah. You don't need to comfort me."

"I'm not. Deborah, I always thought that you knew what I was thinking about. It seems that I overestimated you."

Walter pulled her into his arms and whispered, "I admit that I really couldn't give up on her initially. However, I dismissed my feelings for her when I learned that she was my sister. I had to take care of her as a brother instead. Since then, I have accepted your confession. In fact, I wouldn't have married you out of sympathy if I had no feelings for you, okay? I wouldn't have done that even if you had forced me at gunpoint! I married you because I love you. I love you as a man, so you'll be my wife. I want to grow old with you. I admit that I still help out whenever Mango is in danger or needs me. Although I'm willing to protect her at all costs, I'm not romantically in love with her, okay? Perhaps I haven't handled our relationship well, so you feel insecure and anxious. However, I belong to you completely from now on." Meanwhile, Deborah was a little uncertain.

"If Mango needs your help..."

"I've already told you that she has husband and her family. I won't interfere unless it's really necessary. If there's anything in the future, just leave it to Nathaniel. After all, she's already married. You're the one who I'm going to spent the rest of my life with. So, promise me that you'll take good care of yourself and your health. We'll have to raise our own children in the future."

Walter rubbed her nose affectionately and said.

Upon hearing this, Deborah began to cry that she felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I didn't think of this, I..."

"I know, I've always known what you think."

Walter gently kissed her lips after hearing this.

On the other hand, Nathaniel and Mango were busy settling with other matters on hand once they received the contact number from Walter. At the same time, Walter was arranging an overseas trip for Deborah to recuperate and relieve her sadness. It seemed like the couple wouldn't be coming back within two to three years.

Mango should have called to send them off. However, she was afraid that her presence would make Deborah feel uncomfortable. Therefore, she held her phone and hesitated without saying a single word. Maybe that was the best choice for them.

Once she set some distance between them, Walter and Deborah would be living their own lives. This was the most sincere blessing she could give them.

At this thought, Mango forced a smile and finally put down the phone.

She had to accept that her cousin had a new family after getting married and that he should focus on his own relationship instead.

Now that she thought about it, Priscilla and Tristan were also married. Just like how Walter put his own family as a priority, perhaps the only person who could stay by their side until the end of life was their own lover eventually.

Then, Mango turned on her phone and sent Nathaniel a message.

"Honey, I'm grateful to have you for the rest of my life."

After seeing this, Nathaniel's lips curled up slightly, and he was unable to hide the happiness on his face. Meanwhile, Zion was disgusted by it.

What was going on?

Why was everyone showing off their love publicly?

Were they trying to sabotage his childhood?

At this thought, Zion slammed the door shut and went straight back to his room. Then, he took out his phone and noticed that someone had invited him to play a game. He frowned and immediately rejected, but the other party asked him again. Moreover, the person said arrogantly, "If you don't accept it, I'll strip you naked!"
