"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 about 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."
