The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 687

Mango was lost in thought after she put down her phone.

She wanted to make Novalee and Walter a couple, but she had never considered the difference between the two of them. Now, she started having doubts about her intentions after hearing what Walter said.

Would her decision negatively affect Novalee?

Mango couldn't reveal her true intentions yet as she noticed that both of them didn't have the same idea as her.

She looked at Nathaniel and used the text- to-speech application to ask him, "Nathan, do you think that what I did is right? Walter has spent so much effort on me, and I really don't want to see him spend the rest of his life alone as everyone should find their own happiness. He clearly knows that we aren't meant to be, but is it right for me to pair him up with someone else? I'm aware that Novalee isn't his type as she grew up in an entirely different environment from us, but still, she's an honest and upright person. Once such a woman falls in love with someone, she will surely stay loyal to her partner. I really hope that Walter will have a beautiful love life and find his own

happiness... Do you think that's wrong?"

However, Nathaniel had no reaction.

Mango realized that Nathaniel seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep as nothing could wake him up.

Perhaps she couldn't wake Nathaniel up because she was using the text-to-speech function instead of her own voice?

Mango felt upset deep down at the thought of this possibility.

Her voice...

She thought of Bettany and recalled the Fang family's conditions that Bettany mentioned.

Although Mango didn't know what the conditions were, it must be something bad as the Fang family wouldn't go through the trouble otherwise.

Mango had thought about asking Bettany to come and have a look at Nathaniel's condition as she was Yama Hades after all. However, Mango hadn't made the call as she was well aware of the Fang family's situation.

At the same time, Mango was heartbroken at seeing how Nathaniel was getting thinner day by day. Right now, he was lying there like a living corpse.

She could serve and take care of him for the rest of her life, but that was her last resort in case there was no hope for Nathaniel to wake up.

There was still hope at present, but...

Mango let out a deep sigh.

"Nathan, what do you think I should do? Should I see Bettany? Maybe she has a solution... I'm already like this, and the children can't live without you, neither can I sustain my life alone. Nathan, I promise you that I'll push all affairs aside and just live a happy life with you as long as you wake up, how does that sound?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel as she conveyed her thoughts to him, but he still lay there motionlessly. Hence, Mango had no idea how much he could understand.

Mango was pondering whether her decision was right or wrong, while Walter started becoming impatient on the other side.

Was that stupid woman still waiting for Alfie in the lobby?

At the thought of this, Walter got up and changed into casual clothing. Then, he exited his room and walked toward the elevator.

He decided to take her to have a meal if she was still waiting downstairs.

Walter entered the elevator and the door was about to close when a delicate hand reached in.

"Wait a minute!"

Walter discerned a fragrant scent as a tall and beautiful woman entered the elevator.

"Sorry."

The woman took a look at Walter and was stunned immediately.

Wow, this man was so good-looking!

The locals here were mostly tanned due to the climate, and most of the men were relatively short. It was rare to see a man who was fairskinned and tall, so the woman immediately smiled when she saw how dignified Walter appeared to be.

"Sir, you're not a local, are you?"

Walter acted as if he didn't see nor hear her as he knew very well that this was a woman's way of flirting.

The woman didn't feel discouraged at Walter's behavior, and she leaned closer to him.

"Sir, I'm here for a vacation, and I guess that you're also here for holiday, so can we be friends? Can I have your number?"

"Do I look like a phone book?"

Walter finally spoke, but what he said was really sarcastic.

The woman didn't say anything else, and she wasn't too happy as Walter gave her the cold shoulder. Then, the two of them walked down the stairs and arrived at the lobby.

Walter shook his head the moment he saw Novalee still waiting on the sofa, and he grabbed her arm before leaving without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? We can't leave! If Alfie comes out and doesn't see me, he will doubt our sincerity."

Novalee struggled, but she realized that Walter was really strong although he was a pretty boy.

"He would've seen you if he wanted to, and I bet that he isn't even in the hotel to begin with. We'd better have a good meal first before thinking of a way to meet him instead of sitting here and waiting like a fool."

Walter couldn't turn a blind eye to Novalee since he promised Mango that he would guide her.

Novalee didn't quite understand.

"If we can't make contact with him now, how else can we meet him?"

"Listen to me, I have a solution to this, but we must first have a meal as I'm starving. Don't you feel pity for me considering that I drove such a long way here?"

As Walter spoke, he dragged Novalee to a restaurant and they found a seat quickly.

Novalee felt slightly uneasy, so she said, "It's very expensive to eat here, so why not we go somewhere else? I'll treat you."

"Forget it, I'll treat you instead. You should broaden your horizons and stop being so wary of spending your money since you're on a business trip. Besides, Ms. Shen is rich and she wouldn't mind you spending a little."

"Regardless of how wealthy Ms. Shen is, I shouldn't spend her money so carelessly, as her money belongs to her and not me."

Novalee's words made Walter glance at her once again.

He thought that Novalee had no merits at first, but he started to have a good impression of her now that she expressed her consideration for Mango.

"I just realized that you're actually quite goodlooking even though you're quite tanned."
