The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 692

"Mr. Song, your car is so beautiful!"

Zendaya's eyes lit up when she saw Walter's car.

However, Walter remained expressionless, and he said to Novalee, "Get in the car!"

Novalee walked straight to the back door of the car.

"What are you doing? Get in front! I don't want to be your driver again!"

Clearly, Walter wasn't in a good mood.

Novalee looked at Zendaya as she recalled what Zendaya said earlier, so she responded, "Zendaya can take the front seat while I'll sit in the back."

"Quit your nonsense. Our business has nothing to do with Zendaya, so why would she be going with us?"

At that instant, Zendaya was stunned as she heard what Walter said.

"Mr. Song, I happen to be going to Winterbourne Lodge to see my brother as well, so why don't you give me a ride?"

"No, do I look like an Uber driver? Why should I give you a ride? Don't try to take advantage of me. You're not at work, and I don't care where you're

going."

Walter wasn't polite to Zendaya at all.

However, Zendaya had a stronger urge to win Walter's heart precisely because of his behavior, although he made her feel disappointed.

She glared at Novalee before turning around and walking away in her high heels.

"Come on, what are you waiting for? It will be too late for you to cry over spilt milk when Dakari changes his mind!"

Walter roared immediately.

Then, Novalee got into the passenger seat reluctantly.

On the other hand, Zendaya looked at them and stamped her feet in anger as they drove away.

"Dakari, you must find a way to separate Novalee from Walter no matter what!"

Zendaya regarded Novalee as an eyesore, and she couldn't stand how Walter treated Novalee so well even though he wasn't in love with her.

However, Novalee didn't think that Walter treated her well, and she whispered after getting into the car, "I don't mind sitting in the back seat..."

"Are you stupid? You're all grown up, yet you didn't even defend yourself when you were bullied."

Novalee was stunned when she heard Walter's

words.

"What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Didn't that woman threaten you? Look at you, your eyes tell me everything I need to know, yet you're trying to act as if nothing had happened? Novalee, aren't you a fierce and strong girl? Why did you back down when you're with Zendaya?"

Walter had met many women.

He could understand how a woman felt just by observing her gaze.

So, he could tell from Novalee's expression that she had been bullied.

However, Walter couldn't figure out what was wrong with Novalee as she usually wouldn't give in and let others take advantage of her so easily.

Novalee sighed when she heard what Walter said. "Mr. Liu is her brother, so what if she makes things difficult for us?"

"So what? Of course, it's best if he would cooperate with us. But if he refuses, I'll find someone to deal with Dakari, and the tourism project will still be in our hands."

Novalee was taken aback after hearing Walter's words.

"Are you part of the underworld?"

"Would you be scared if I'm one of the gang leaders?"

Walter asked Novalee without a second thought.

Novalee snorted coldly and said, "Are you kidding me? I would be your boss if you're one of the gang leaders! Keep your eyes on the road."

Walter couldn't argue any further although he was very unhappy with what Novalee said.

On the other side, Zion video- called Mango immediately after he received the news from Walter.

At that moment, Mango was extremely anxious.

She took her phone out of the ward before answering Zion's call.

Zion looked at the corridor behind Mango and asked, "Mommy, where are you? Why do you seem to be in a hospital?"

Mango quickly gestured, "I'm in the hospital as I'm not feeling well, and I came here to get some medicine."

"Where's dad?"

Zion no longer addressed Nathaniel as Mr. Ye this time.

However, Mango didn't notice it as she was really nervous.

"He fell sick too so he's having a rest in the hotel."

"If that's so, tell dad to video-call me later."

Mango was at a loss for words after hearing what Zion said.

"Your dad needs to rest."

"Mommy, I'm aware of what happened as Mr. Song has told me everything. How's daddy? Is he seriously injured?"

Mango was completely stunned at Zion's answer.

"Oh my God, Walter Song!" She thought.

Mango was furious but she gestured as she saw from Zion's eyes how worried he was. "Everything's alright, your dad is asleep, and I didn't tell you about it because I was afraid that you'd be anxious... Don't worry as we'll return safe and sound."

"I want to see daddy."

Mango was taken aback by Zion's request, but she didn't know what Zion would do if she refused to let him see Nathaniel's condition.

She nodded as she took her phone into the ward and directed the camera toward Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was sleeping in the bed as Zion looked at him and said in a low voice, "He has become thinner."

"Yea but don't worry as I'll make sure he gains weight again."

Zion didn't reply to Mango, and he stared at Nathaniel for a while before saying, "Mommy, you should take care of yourself as well and don't get too tired."

"Alright, be a good boy and don't tell Wisdom and Rita about this, okay?"

"Got it."

"That's my boy. Dad and I will come back as soon as possible, so take good care of yourself."

"Okay."

Mango hung up the call with Zion and immediately video-called Walter angrily, but his phone was off as he seemed to have predicted this.

Rage pulsed through Mango's veins as she couldn't contact Walter.

On the other hand, Walter and Novalee arrived at Winterbourne Lodge.
