The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 461

"Ah!"

Walter's warm breath fanned out across Mango's face, which startled her. Aside from that, Mango shrunk back comically from Walter's face and she accidentally bumped her head into the wall behind her. It hurt so much that she nearly teared up.

"Walter, are you crazy?"

Then, Walter suddenly laughed.

"I thought you were zoned out."

Then, he retreated with some regret on his face.

Ugh, he was so close to kissing her.

Although Mango's face was pale, her skin was very smooth and soft.

"Wow, your skin is just like porcelain. Honestly, it might just take someone's breath away if they kissed it!"

"Ugh, go to hell!"

Next, Mango punched him in the shoulder immediately.

Walter still had the mood to play a practical joke on her even when she was hospitalized.

He really did scare her just now!

On the other hand, Walter just burst out in laughter.

Meanwhile, Rainie and Terrance shared a look when they heard the laughter inside the room, "Good thing that Walter is here."

"Well, I feel that Mango's feeling much better today. A good mood is always conducive to healing, so I'm relieved that she's feeling happier."

Relief was evident in Rainie's tone as she spoke.

However, no one knew that Mango's good mood was because of Nathaniel's call earlier.

After Mango hit him, Walter pretended to be injured as he clutched his chest before saying, "Oh, you've broken my heart. How could you be so cruel?"

Then, Mango's smile became wider.

"You're such a drama queen!"

"Well, laughing makes you younger. By the way, your mood seems to be a lot better. You know, I was afraid that you would be ashamed to see me so I had to resort to comedy to see you."

Walter replied eloquently.

When Mango recalled the sorry state he'd seen her in, she became a little awkward before replying, "Why would I be ashamed to see you? I'm Mango Shen! I've experienced all manners of things, so do you think I'll be afraid to be seen as a joke?"

"You're not afraid at all?"

Walter was pleased to see that some life had returned to Mango. The cheeky smile on her face had finally made an appearance.

Walter then shamelessly leaned over her and he bumped her arm with his, "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"You can cook?"

Suspicion colored Mango's tone.

Then, Walter smoothed his hair back and he replied, "I'm a smart man. Even if I don't know how to cook, I'm sure I can learn how in no time."

"Knock it off. I'm afraid that you'll burn down your kitchen."

Mango's reaction was definitely not an exaggeration.

Then, she suddenly thought of Nathaniel.

The way that he was able to handle both the boardroom and the kitchen was impressive. Furthermore, his prowess in cooking only served to increase his attractiveness.

As the vision of Nathaniel making breakfast for her every morning drifted into her mind, Mango's affection for him only increased.

Of course, Walter was able to sense how absent-minded Mango had suddenly become, and his chest felt rather hollow.

To be honest, he actually felt quite jealous.

"Don't tell me that Nathaniel actually cooks for you?"

"Yeah, he's actually quite good at cooking."

Mango didn't try to hide her praise for Nathaniel, but it was definitely a blow to Walter.

"Well, how hard can cooking be? I'm sure I can do it as well. Plus, I think I can do it better than him."

The truth was, Walter didn't want to talk about Nathaniel.

Jealousy swelled in his chest and he had a lot of choice words to say about Nathaniel, but he stopped himself at the last second out of respect for Mango.

"Hey, there's still no news from him despite the fact you're in the hospital. Aren't you angry with him about that?"

In the end, Walter couldn't stop himself from asking that one question.

Mango replied in a low voice, "I think he's going through some problems of his own. He's not heartless, nor is he fake. If he doesn't want to be with me any longer, he'll make it clear immediately. Just like five years ago, he made his distaste for me very clear, and he wouldn't do anything to spare my feelings. So, since he hasn't said anything about leaving me, I'm sure he still has feelings for me. I trust him!"

Then, a sharp pain pierced Walter's chest.

"You trust him? Even when you have no idea where he is or what he's doing? Do you know that if I was even a little late to rescue you, you would be..."

Walter couldn't get the rest of his sentence out of his mouth.

He was still shaken by what he found earlier.

Walter was a man, but could he deserve to be one if he neglected the woman he loved while she was in danger?

On the other hand, Mango knew that Walter was pissed off for her sake and that he meant well. Hence, she chuckled before replying, "Well, that's why you're my savior. I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you, so I owe you my life. If you ever need me in the future, I will be there for you."

"Bullsh*t! I don't need you to be there for me, I

want you to give yourself to me."
