The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 753

Carter knew that Sophia was Walter's weakness, and she was also his all.

He quickly added, "Someone has seen your mother at the harbor, but she didn't seem to be alone. A man and a woman was with her. The woman isn't that tall, and has a darker skin tone." Carter tried to tell Walter as many clues as possible.

As Walter heard this, Novalee's face flashed across his mind.

It couldn't be her!

It was impossible!

"Were there any surveillance cameras?"

"Yes, but they were not clear. Because of that, we can't confirm their identity. I've already called the police, and now that the police are involved, you don't have to worry. I'll definitely find your mother."

Walter acted as if he didn't hear Carter's words. Instead, he said coldly, "Let me see the footage."

Seeing Walter like this, although Carter felt sad, he quickly ordered someone to show Walter the footage.

Walter narrowed his eyes as he watched the footage. As he saw Novalee's figure in the video, he was stunned, and his face twisted into a sour expression.

"Do you know this woman?"

Carter saw Walter's strange expression and asked anxiously.

Walter did not reply and proceeded to save the video on his phone. Then, he turned and left.

"Hey, what's your problem? You came back, then grabbed and threatened me. And now you're leaving? Who do you think you are?"

Mrs. Song shouted, but Carter quickly shot her with a glare.

"You, shut up! Now isn't the time for your whining!"

"Well, then what? It wasn't me who took Sophia away, anyway! Why are you mad at me?"

Mrs. Song had still wanted to say something, but before she could, something flew towards her suddenly, which made her scream and squat down reflexively. At the same time, Walter slammed the room door.

As Mrs. Song looked at the clothesrack that was still rattling beside her, she felt her body shiver in fear.

"Carter, your son wants to kill me." "You'd better shut up if you don't want to die, then.11

Carter said, but he seemed distracted.

After leaving his house, Walter went straight to Nathaniel.

When he saw Walter, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Shh, Mango just fell asleep."

"Has Henry been in contact with you?"

Walter asked about Henry as soon as he spoke, which stunned Nathaniel briefly.

"No, why are you looking for him?"

"Novalee took my mother away."

Hearing Walter's words, Nathaniel frowned.

"Are you sure?"

"Look at this."

A this, Walter sent the footage to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was utterly speechless when he saw Novalee.

Although the video was not very clear, but anyone who was familiar with Novalee would recognize her immediately.

"I'll help you get in contact with them."

Then, Nathaniel quickly mobilized his connections to find Novalee.

Walter was gloomy as he was deep in thought.

It was supposed to be a relationship problem between themselves, but now it had turned out like this.

Nathaniel didn't know what was Walter thinking about. He asked someone to bring a cup of tea for Walter.

"I don't think it's that simple. If Novalee approached you because of your mother, then have you ever told her which nursing home your mother was in?"

"No, I've never."

As he thought about this, Walter's frown deepened.

"I just didn't think that Novalee would go missing, but appear in Ocean City to find my mom. What on earth do they want from my mom? My mom is just a mental patient. She'd better take good care of my mom, otherwise, she'll be done for."

Walter clasped his hands together tightly.

"Let's focus on finding Novalee first."

As he was waiting for news, Mango was awake.

When she came out and saw Walter's grim look, she couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

As Nathaniel saw her, he pulled her aside and told her what had happened.

"How could it be Novalee?" "I don't know, but it's obviously a big blow to Walter. You go out for some groceries, and we'll ask him to stay for dinner tonight."

Nathaniel's words stunned Mango for a moment.

"Why are you being so thoughtful today?"

"He just went through a breakup, didn't he? I'm not that cold-blooded, you know."

Nathaniel taunted with a smile.

Mango glared at him, then went to change. When she passed by Walter, she said, "Stay for dinner tonight. I'll go buy some groceries and have Nathan cook later." "Did I say that I'll cook?"

"Didn't you?"

Nathaniel shut up at Mango's retort.

Seeing how affectionate they were, Walter said gloomily, "I'm already heartbroken. Can the two of you stop flirting in front of me?"

"Ahem, we're used to it."

Nathaniel's words honestly felt like scattering salt onto Walter's wound.

Walter gave him a hard look and said, "I will only eat if it is cooked by Mango."

"Get the hell out of here."

"Mango, only the food that you cook can heal my injured little heart."

Walter ignored Nathaniel and looked at Mango directly as he spoke pitifully.

"Okay, okay, I'll cook later. In the meantime, you and Nathan rest."

Mango shook her head at their childishness and comforted Nathaniel with her eyes.

"Don't be so selfish, okay? I would only get to have one meal, and you can eat meals made by your wife for the rest of your life."

Walter said gloomily.

Nathaniel took the seat opposite him and said, "I've never troubled her to cook before. But now, you've asked her to cook for you. It's such a hot day, with all the heat from cooking, what if she has a heatstroke?"

"Stop it, both of you! I'll do it, I'll cook, okay?"

"If you cook, I'm afraid we'll be unsafe. Just let the nanny cook later."

Nathaniel had managed to convince Mango with just a few words.

Walter didn't want to stay here at all, but where could he go to other than the Ye family's home?

Mango drove to the supermarket, bought some groceries, and was about to leave when she bumped into Terrance at the entrance.

"Uncle? Why are you here?"

After Mango returned to Ocean City, she hadn't visited the Hans family. To be precise, she didn't quite know how to face them yet.

Terrance looked at Mango up and down and felt that she had lost some weight.

"Your mother sent me a letter, but I couldn't find you. When I saw you go into the supermarket on your own, I decided to wait for you here."

As he said this, Terrance handed Queena's letter to Mango.

Mango was stunned at this.

Too many things had happened at once recently, and she still didn't know how to face Queena yet. Moreover, as she thought about how Queena had left that time, she didn't know how to react. "What's wrong? Don't you miss your mom?"

"No, it's just that I don't know how to face her."

Mango and Queena lacked interaction and they had become further apart because of this.

Although the two of them were mother and daughter, the sense of unfamiliarity and distance between them was obvious.

"Maybe it's just a letter of greeting. Do you have time? You should come home for dinner. Mateo is very busy these days. I'm all alone in that big mansion, and it's starting to get lonely. Bring Nathan and the kids over to play sometime. After all, the Hans family's home is still your home too."

Mango nodded her head at Terrance's words.

"Maybe some other time, then. Walter is staying for dinner at our house tonight."

"Walter Song? What's wrong? I heard that the Song family seems to be looking for someone recently?"

Hearing Terrance's question, Mango smiled and said, "I'm not sure. The Song family have their personal matters, and they have nothing to do with me. I only know that he came to see Nathan and he's staying over for dinner tonight."

Seeing that Mango wasn't willing to reveal anything, Terrance stopped asking.

He could feel Mango's uneasiness and distrust towards him.

"Okay, then. Make sure to drop by when you're free."

"Alright!"

Mango didn't know what else to say to Terrance, so she nodded her head in reply.

As he didn't want Mango to feel awkward, Terrance quickly left, but his expression was a little gloomy.

Mango didn't know how to deal with her relationship with the Hans family either, so she could only return to The Ye's Mansion with mixed feelings. Nathaniel had noticed Mango's troubled expression when she returned and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen along the way?"

"No, I met my uncle at the market. He asked me to take the children back home when I have the time."

Mango didn't want to hide anything from him.

Nathaniel knew of the grudge between Mango and the Hans family. He said softly, "If you think that it's too difficult, then ignore him. After all, what's most important is your happiness." "Actually, it doesn't affect me that much. It's just that I owe it to the Hans family. After all, Madam Hans died because of me. If I went back now, honestly, I have no idea how to face them." There was a burden in Mango's heart that bothered her until now.

Of course, Nathaniel knew her well. He suggested softly, "Do you need me to go to the Hans family to apologize?"

"There's no need for that. This isn't your fault, anyway. It was Isla's, not yours."

Mango rejected Nathaniel's suggestion directly.

Walter was smoking at the balcony. When he came back inside, he saw Mango shaking her head gloomily. He could not help but ask, "What's wrong? You didn't get anything delicious?"

"All you care about is food."

Nathaniel rolled his eyes at him and said to Mango, "Go take a shower. We're having dinner in a bit."

"Okay. You keep Walter company for me."

Right now, Mango didn't have the mood to amuse Walter.

Walter was still somewhat curious, though.

"What happened? Who provoked her?"

"As long as it isn't you. Walter, you should send your men to look into it too. After all, it's your business, isn't it?"

Nathaniel looked at Walter in contempt.

Meanwhile, Walter collapsed directly onto the sofa.

"My father has sent out all the people in the Song family. It is also the first time that I have seen him so anxious about my mother. Isn't it very ironic? My mother has been ill for so many years, but he hadn't even bothered to visit her. He exposed my mother's whereabouts by visiting her suddenly. Sometimes I feel like a pair of eyes are secretly watching me and my mother from the dark, waiting for the right time to strike. Now that my mother is missing, I thought that it had something to do with that woman in my family, but I hadn't expected it to have something to do with Novalee. It's ironic."

"Hey, we still haven't figured out what's really going on yet. Let's just investigate further first."

Nathaniel comforted Walter.

All of a sudden, Mango's sharp scream came from upstairs.

"Mango?!"

Nathaniel pushed Walter out of the away and ran towards the bedroom.

Walter followed closely behind. He paused for a moment before catching up quickly.

Mango wasn't the kind of person who would make a fuss over nothing. Why did she suddenly scream? What exactly was going on?
