The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 524

Walter didn't care about what Mango thought about Nick. All he cared about was her wellbeing. Walter had been paying attention to Mango and he noticed her expression was awful, and she was struggling to stand on her feet. Seeing this, his brows were knitted in a worried frown.

"I should call Noah, no, maybe Genevieve, to come over and check on your condition."

After that, Walter immediately took out his phone, but he was stopped by Mango.

"No, I'm fine."

Mango was looking a little anxious and tense.

Walter was a keen person, and he instantly knew her concerns. She was worried that it was inappropriate if they were to be seen by others hanging out in the Song family's residence.

However, Walter couldn't care less.

He immediately put away his phone. Then, Walter bent down to pick Mango up before walking towards the guest room on the other side.

Mango was stunned for a moment and she then struggled out of his embrace.

"Walter, put me down!"

"I'll do that once we reach the room."

Walter insisted.

Mango couldn't escape his hold, so she just let it be. She then closed her eyes while pretending to ignore the situation. Despite that, Mango could still hear the sound of his rapid heartbeats from a close distance.

Walter was surprised by her sudden silence. He glanced at her, only to see that she was closing her eyes while flickering her long eyelashes. Although her face was pale, Mango was somewhat attractive to him.

Walter suddenly had a desire to hold her in his arms forever and never let go of her. As his urge was getting stronger, he couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her in his arms.

Just as he was about to approach her cheeks, a sudden cough interrupted his reveries. Then, Walter regained his consciousness once again.

What the hell was he doing?

Mango trusted him with all her heart. However, he almost harassed her.

Walter's face was flushing red. Then, he quickly looked up to the person who was coughing, and it turned out to be Carter.

His father's sharp gaze was about to tear him apart. However, Carter seemed to be wary about something. Instead, he just glared at Walter without a word. Clearly, he was being cautious around Mango.

Just then, Walter was like a child being caught making a mistake. At the same time, he was very embarrassed. Despite that, he turned his head away boldly, pretended as if nothing had happened before bringing Mango back to the room.

Mango let out a sigh of relief.

She knew clearly about Walter's intention just now. Mango even clenched her fists and she was planning to punch him if he kissed her. Fortunately, such an embarrassing thing did not happen.

Mango was having conflicting thoughts. Whether she needed Walter's help or not, Mango that she could not stay there any longer. Based on Walter's undying feelings for her, she knew that they couldn't be together.

After carrying Mango into the guest room, Walter felt a little uneasy. He coughed awkwardly before uttering, "Take a rest first. I'll call Genevieve to come over."

This time, Mango did not reject him. Genevieve was Noah's wife, she was her attending doctor. Since the doctor was a woman, perhaps Mango could rely on her to leave the place.

Mango nodded and she did not open her eyes. She seemed to be very tired, but Walter knew that Mango just wanted to avoid the awkward tension between them.

All of a sudden, Walter felt a little annoyed.

Why couldn't he resist himself? Not to mention, Walter almost took advantage of Mango.

Didn't he say his feelings had nothing to do with her? Didn't he say that he wouldn't force her to change her attitude and emotions towards him? Why did he almost lose control of himself?

Walter left instantly.

Meanwhile, Mango looked at the closed door and she sighed gently.

Now that everything was in a mess, she had no energy left to deal with Walter's feelings for her. Moreover, Mango had made it clear that she might not be able to contact Walter for the time being.

She had always thought that his feelings for her were vague. With Walter's free and easy attitude, Mango thought that he would forget about it sooner or later. However, she did not expect him to be so persistent and that his feelings were genuine.

She could see through Walter's stares, and they were exactly like how Nathaniel looked at her.

Mango let out another sigh. Just then, Nathaniel's figure flashed across her mind.

What on earth had happened to him?

She dialed Nathaniel's number again, but there was still no sign of him. Mango felt extremely nervous as she waited for him without any news. If only she could track him to find out what exactly had happened! However, Mango knew that the most important thing at the moment was to ensure Rita and Madam Ye's safety.

If their guesses about Nick's odd behavior were correct, then both Rita and Madam Ye would most likely be in danger.

Mango was on tenterhooks.

"No! Don't let Zion know about this. That kid had been through a tough period. To be honest, although he is mature, Zion has never experienced such a thing. I'm relieved that he has you and Noah to take care of him now. Even if anything happens to me, I'm not worried about him as long as he's with you guys. With the close friendship between Noah and Nathan, I believe that he will treat Zion well, right?"

Mango looked at Genevieve. That yearning gaze almost made the latter cry.

"Stop it. I'll try my best to protect you!"

"I know that you are a good person."

Mango held her hand.

Genevieve felt uncomfortable at the feeling of her cold hands.

"How is Zion? Is he doing alright?" Mango felt sorry for him.

Genevieve said in a low voice, "He is fine. Now that Gissel is accompanying her, Zion's mind state is considered stable. It's just that he is eager to leave the hospital."

"Gissel? The girl who can't speak?"

Mango still remembered Gissel.

Genevieve nodded and she finally smiled.

"Yes, she's a very good girl, but it's a pity that she can't speak. Noah and I checked on her, and we found that her disabilities are inflicted by someone. It's really cruel! Moreover, Gissel has no family, and his only sister has been sold away by the human traffickers. So far, her whereabouts are unknown. As you know, Noah and I don't have a child, so we intend to adopt Gissel as our daughter."

Mango was stunned for a moment and she immediately smiled happily, "Congratulations to you guys!"

"We will hold a party to celebrate the adoption. Noah said the fate between parents and children can't be determined by a change in name, so both of us decide to keep her name. We will love her greatly so that she can grow up healthily. Also, Zion and Gissel are good friends, so we can let them meet regularly. If you're busy these days, I will bring Zion back to our house with Gissel. I know you are afraid that he will find out about Rita's current situation, the matter involving Ye family, and also Nathaniel's disappearance. Don't worry, I will use Gissel as an excuse, saying that she needs someone to accompany her to adapt to the new environment. For now, Zion will stay with us for a few days."

"Thank you, Genevieve."

Seeing that the doctor had arranged everything properly, Mango felt extremely grateful.

"Mango, I'm not going to raise Zion for you. I already have a daughter, so I don't care about your son. Do you hear me? Hurry up and settle the things around you! Come back and take him away when the time comes. I refuse to let that brat steals our love for Gissel away!"

Even though Genevieve had said so, Mango knew that she was concerned about her.

She smiled. Just when Mango was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.
