"Walter!"
If Deborah had thought that Walter's feelings for her weren't as deep enough as his feelings for Mango because of the influence of the parasite, she would be very embarrassed at this moment.
Since Walter and Mango's relationship had been confirmed to be blood-related, Walter's feelings for Mango had slowly changed. It was Deborah who had doubts and was uncertain. Because of that, Javion took advantage of that and increased the doubts she had and almost harmed Walter and Mango. Walter even left Ocean City to bring Deborah out on a trip, and that was why he was captured by Javion.
"I'm sorry. I have been petty."
Deborah's hoarse voice sounded a little choked.
Her body felt much more lighter when Javion died, but now her heart was relieved as well.
Walter's lips curled slightly, and he smiled as he stroked Deborah's head. He whispered, "Since you are my wife, I would even give my life to you. Why are you apologizing? Besides, I've told your dad when we got married that I would become like his son. Since he is also my father, would I allow anyone to deceive him like this?"
Deborah didn't know what else she could do except cry.
She wasn't a sentimental woman, and she didn't like women who cried easily. But at this moment, she knew that there were times when people couldn't control their tears.
Walter's heart ached as Deborah cried, and he could only coax her with gentle words. Mango and Nathaniel were a little frustrated as they saw this.
"I'm so sick of them displaying their affections like this in public. Shouldn't they be more aware of the situation?"
Nathaniel sounded somewhat bitter.
Mango laughed softly. Then she subconsciously came to Nathaniel's side and tugged at his sleeve. She whispered, "What should we do? I was also involved. You won't blame me, right?"
"Aren't you riding on the fact that I could handle this for you?"
Nathaniel was a little jealous.
Although he knew that Mango did this because Walter was her cousin, he felt uncomfortable at the thought of Walter's arrogance.
Mango hurriedly said, "Alright, I was wrong, alright? You can punish me in any way you want
later."
After saying that, she winked at Nathaniel twice with a glimmer in her eyes. She didn't explain what she meant, but Nathaniel felt a fire lighting up throughout his entire body, and he felt miserable.
He then pulled Mango into his arms and said to her as if there was no one else present, "This is what you said. Don't beg for mercy later."
Mango seemed to have thought of something and her face suddenly turned red.
"Wasn't it because I knew this was Mr. Sanchez's territory? With your relationship with Mr. Sanchez, you would be able to handle this incident well. Besides, my granduncle wouldn't acknowledge his existence and status, so no one would say anything about it. Even if Ezequiel wanted to do something, he wouldn't be able to create much trouble."
"It turns out that you have thought of everything."
Nathaniel had the same thought, but he wanted to tease Mango.
Mango smiled in embarrassment. She felt that Nathaniel was still somewhat dissatisfied, so she quickly tiptoed and kissed Nathaniel on his face. Then, she noticed that two pairs of eyes were looking straight at them.
Nathaniel looked up and saw Walter looking at them with Deborah in his arms. Walter then said with an expression full of interest, "It's not a good habit to show affection."
