The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 758

The caller ID stated that it was Novalee.

Novalee did not call Walter, but she called Mango instead. What did this mean?

"What's wrong?"

Terrance asked hurriedly when he saw that Mango's expression darken.

"Nothing. I'm heading outside. Please watch the children for me."

As she said this, Mango stuffed her phone into her pocket quickly.

"Dinner's almost ready. Where are you going?"

Mateo was walking out from the kitchen with a plate in his hand.

Mango stole a bite from the plate. It tasted not bad.

"I'm going out for a bit. I have something to do. Take care of the child for me."

"Wash your hands!"

Mateo slapped Mango's hand off as he strongly disagreed with it.

"Look at you, you're a mother of three children. Don't you know that you have to set a good example for them? Besides, what's the fuss? Do you have to go out at this time? Can't you have dinner first? Come on, I will take you there after dinner."

Terrance agreed with Mateo's suggestion.

Mango was at a loss for words. Then, she said, "Come on, uncles, I'm already an adult. Can't I have my own space? I'm just going out for a while. Leave some food for me, please. I'll eat when I come back."

"Wait, can't you not go out?"

Mateo's intuition told him that it didn't seem right to let Mango go on her own.

Mango waved her hand, brushing her uncle off, and said, "I've told you that it's some personal matters. Don't pry. I'm leaving now. Remember to leave me some of that."

After saying that, she ran out quickly. It was only after exiting the Hans family's front door did she stop smiling that bright smile of hers.

Novalee's call must have had something to do with Walter and Sophia.

Although Mango knew that she didn't have many connections, she still needed to help when she could. After all, Walter wasn't just anyone to her. What's more, Walter had risked his life many times to save her and Nathaniel.

After driving out of the Hans family, Mango stopped at the side of the road and returned Novalee's call.

"What do you want?"

On the other end, Novalee wasn't pleased when she heard Mango's demanding tone.

"Ms. Shen, I see that you're not planning to play it nice with me, aren't you?"

"Nice to you? Novalee, I must be blind back then. My instincts told me that you were a good woman, and I had even wanted to make you and Walter a couple. Not only did you break Walter's heart, but you took his mother away too. What were you thinking? Now that you're calling me, you must want something from me, right? But are you sure you dialed the right number? You should have called Walter instead."

Mango said monotonously.

Novalee bit her lower lip tightly and said furiously, "Save your good-girl act in front of me. To put it bluntly, you are just a two-timing b*tch. Walter had done so much for you, what did you ever do in return?"

"Oh, so you're defending Walter right now? But who do you think you are to criticize me like this?"

"Mango, don't be so feisty. If you want to save Walter's mother, come to the address I have sent you alone. If I find out that you've brought someone else with you, I'll die with Walter's mother. Believe me, I'm not joking right now. Oh, and don't let anyone know about this, especially Walter."

After that, Novalee hung up the phone.

The corners of Mango's mouth raised slightly as she digested everything.

What made her think that Mango would be so obedient to adhere to her requests? Did she really think that Mango was afraid?

In Mango's opinion, she felt that Novalee still had feelings for Walter and that she wouldn't dare hurt Walter's mother, so...

Just then, Novalee sent her the address.

Then, Mango sent the address to Walter and Nathaniel without a second thought.

"You don't have to rush over. I can handle it on my own. Don't worry about me."

After Mango had sent the messages to Walter and Nathaniel, she drove to the address that was given by Novalee.

Novalee chose to meet at a high- ended club. According to Mango's knowledge of Novalee, she wouldn't have chosen such a place on her own, unless she was supported by someone rich and powerful.

Mango thought hard about who would have a grudge against Walter's mother. No matter how she thought about it, it could only be Thomas' mother.

"Nathan, find someone to look for Thomas' mother, Mrs. Song. And try to get close to her."

On the other end, Mango's orders caused Nathaniel to frown slightly.

"Are you really going to be okay by yourself? Don't force yourself. I'm coming to you."

Nathaniel was extremely worried about Mango.

Previously, she had said that she didn't have any connections, so she turned to him for help. But now, she was meeting Novalee alone?

To be honest, Mango was also helpless.

"I just want to have a nice chat with you, can't I do that?"

Novalee smiled, but her smile was extremely displeasing. However, Mango noticed that there was a trace of disappointment in her eyes.

"We can chat anytime. Please bring Aunt Sophia back first."

"What if I say no?"

After she said this, Novalee downed the wine in her glass and swallowed.

"Ahh! It's nice to have red wine like this. People often tell me to drink it sip by sip, but I'm not used to that."

After listening to Novalee's nonsense, Mango immediately stood up to leave.

"Leave if you want. If you do, I'll order them to kill Sophia immediately. Walter and I don't stand a chance anymore anyway, so I don't mind a bit of hatred. Maybe him hating me forever would be the only feeling he has towards me, that's better than nothing."

Novalee said slowly, but Mango didn't have the courage to exit the room anymore.

She looked at Novalee and had wished to see that she was joking, but all she saw was madness and desperateness.

Novalee had gone mad!

"Novalee, calm down. You and Walter haven't come to that point yet. I don't know what happened between you two, but I think Walter still cares about you very much. You should know that once he falls in love, he will never let go easily."

"Yup. Sometimes, I'm really happy that we got to fall in love with each other, but I'm different from him. Mango, do you know that many people want to destroy the love between you and Nathaniel because it makes us jealous?"

Novalee looked at Mango and said slowly, "I've heard about what you'd been through from Walter. To be honest, I feel sorry for you and admire you at the same time. If it were me, I might not fight for this relationship. But you fought and stayed, and Nathaniel loves and cares for you even more than he did before. God knows that I want to grow old with Walter too. Unfortunately, I can't."

"Everything's possible. It just depends on whether you want to or not."

Novalee became a little agitated as she heard Mango's words.

"I want to, I want Walter's love more than anyone else. I was a child that yearned for love and care. My parents died when I was still young. I lived alone with my brother, and no one knew how hard it was for me. God didn't treat me well either. My brother was born with heart disease, and he died the second year after my parent's death. There was a suitable heart for a transplant, but I didn't have the money. Can you imagine how strong was a ten-year-old's desire for money at that time? In order to save my brother, I sold myself. I sold myself! I can't choose the path I want in my life, can't do what I like to do, and can't love the person I love. But why did I have to meet you? Seeing you soaked up in your sweet romance all day, you don't even know how much I had wanted to ruin you and your relationship. I still think that you look better staying in the hospital all day, looking after an unconscious Nathaniel."

Novalee laughed as she spoke.

Meanwhile, Mango was utterly disgusted.

"Are you out of your mind? You aren't happy yourself, so you don't want to see others happy. Novalee, something's seriously wrong with you. You should go see a psychologist. If you don't know any, I can introduce one to you."

"Shut up, Mango! You're the one who needs a psychologist! You already have Nathaniel, so why are you still hoarding Walter? Do you know that Walter slapped me just because I said something bad about you? You're still the important one in his heart!"

Novalee's words immediately stunned Mango.
