The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1621

"Deborah, your face..."

Mango had never expected Deborah to be disfigured!

She was completely shocked, and at this time, Deborah's belly had become very big now.

However, Deborah said with a smile, "It's okay. I accidentally hurt my face when I was at sea. I planned to have surgery, but I was pregnant at that time, so I didn't do it for the baby. I'll do it after the baby is born. Walter doesn't think I'm ugly anyway."

Mango understood Deborah deeply. Didn't she, too, endure the pain of being burned because of her baby?

At the thought of this, Mango's heart ached.

She stepped forward and hugged Deborah tightly as she said softly, "I know you're fine on the outside, but I know how much it hurts. Although I don't know why you and Walter didn't tell Nathaniel and me abou your difficulties at that time, I just feel sorry for you. Deborah, I feel sad for you."

Mango's eyes turned red.

Seeing her like this, Nathaniel exchanged a glance

with Walter.

Walter patted Deborah's shoulder and said softly, "I'll be over there."

"Alright."

Deborah nodded.

Over here, Mango and Deborah were sitting together and talking about daily trifles while Nathaniel and Walter arrived at the balcony. Nathaniel handed Walter a glass of champagne and Looking at his ruddy face, he couldn't help but tease and say, "You're different after you've become a father."

"Of course. We've waited a long time for this child."

Nathaniel couldn't bear to rain on his parade, but he still asked with some concern, "I remember the doctor said you shouldn't have a baby in three years. It isn't time yet?"

"She was pregnant by accident, so she insisted on keeping it. You know the last child was a heavy blow on her, so I will follow her wishes. At the worst, if anything happens, I will be there for her. If she lives, I will too, and if she dies, I will follow."

Walter said it nonchalantly, but Nathaniel could know of his attitude towards Deborah from his words.

He patted Walter on the shoulder and said, "You have grown a lot." "I'm going to be a father. Can I still be like a child? My father has begun to hand over the business to me recently. I finally understand how much you need to do. You can still date Mango while managing so many businesses. I admire you."

Walter's words made Nathaniel feel that something was wrong.

"Are you praising or insulting me?"

"I'm praising you!"

Walter burst out laughing.

Deborah was pregnant, and Walter seemed to be full of energy, which really gave others an appealing and hopeful vibe.

"You've been through a lot in the past six months, haven't you?"

"I guess so. A lot has happened, but we were able to solve it. Don't worry too much."

Walter was still grinning cheekily, but Nathaniel could see that he was calm now and this might be because of Jameson's teachings.

Nathaniel was happy to see that.

"By the way, I heard that you transferred Ned to run the company here?"

"Why? Is it not okay?"

Nathaniel did not expect that Walter would ask about Ned, so he could not help but be stunned.

Walter said with a smile, "Of course, I want to do business here. It's inevitable that Ned and I will cross paths. Now I have to build a good relationship with him."

"I also transferred my business here."

Nathaniel's words slightly surprised Walter.

"Have you really made up your mind? Ocean City is, after all, your home. Is it really okay to leave like this?"

Nathaniel looked in Mango's direction, and his gaze was gentle as he said, "I am home wherever she is at. Besides, Ocean City has already lost the four masters. The Soo family is down and Noah has gone to Santell Capital. Eugene is back and taking responsibility for what he should be. Now, Chief Eaves is the only one left there. If I were to still stay in Ocean City, I'm afraid the higher-ups will be worried." Hearing this, Walter felt somewhat helpless.

It was true that the bigger something was, the easier it was to be targeted.

He asked in a low voice, "I heard that there's quite some drama in the Mo family recently. Master Mo..."

In fact, they were all like brothers to Carlson, and they would only care about Carlson if they really cared.

Nathaniel knew that Walter was worried about Carlson after hearing this, so he said, "Don't worry. Carlson has become smart now. They can't plot against him that easily. He used to be incapable of protecting Tessa and her daughter, but now he won't let anyone hurt them. As long as he wants it, that position will be his sooner or later!"

"I heard that you sent my nephew, Zion, in?"

"Don't accuse me, okay. I didn't send him there. It was Zion who chose it himself. I couldn't stop him."

When it came to his son, Nathaniel was somewhat proud, which looked annoying to Walter.

"So that means I won't be able to see Zion now."

"You'll meet him sooner or later."

Nathaniel didn't think this was a big deal.

A man's aspirations could be achieved anywhere, and he would not hold back his child.

The two talked more about recent incidents for some time, and the atmosphere between them was much more harmonious than before. Although Walter still quarreled with him sometimes, it sounded that they were close with each other.

Then, Walter looked around before saying to Nathaniel, "You have completely ignored military affairs recently, haven't you?"

"Yes, I want to spend more time with my wife and children. I need to earn money so that Mango can spend freely too. What's the matter?"

Nathaniel was saying this now, but if it was around eight years ago, who would believe that he had no ambition at all?

But now, Walter understood Nathaniel, so he hesitated as couldn't find the words.

"What's the matter? Say something."

Nathaniel couldn't stand it when others didn't finish their sentences, so he couldn't help hitting Walter with his arm. Walter was a little depressed, and finally could not help but say, "Something happened during the battle abroad." "What did you say?"

Nathaniel suddenly became nervous.

These words represented Thomas, and he had not heard any news from Thomas for more than half a year. Now, hearing Walter's words, Nathaniel couldn't help but be nervous.

Walter, of course, knew about what happened to Thomas. He said in a low voice, "As an assault team, Thomas and his men entered the battlefield abroad more than half a year ago. They were like saviors, who turned the whole battle around to our country's advantage. In the past half a year, they had reported many times. But not long ago, R Country put out an assault team too. They fled after ambushing us several times and took a lot of hostages with them. Thomas' assault team had to chase them in order to rescue the hostages and were led into a forest. Till now, there has been no news of them. Many people speculated that they might be in danger this time."

Nathaniel's heart suddenly tightened.

"An assault team? Thomas actually established an assault team?"

There were not many people in the team, but each of them was an outstanding soldier. How could they be in charge of rescuing hostages?

What was going on here?
