The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 730

"Can you prove that my parents are innocent by finding the people who carried out the mission with my parents?"

Novalee held Walter's hand tightly.

She looked like a helpless child who pinned all her hopes on Walter at this moment.

Walter's heart softened when he saw Novalee's expression.

"Do you know who else did that with your parents?"

"I have no idea, but Uncle Liu may know and I can ask him about it when we go to his place in the evening."

"Alright."

Walter had mixed feelings deep down but he held back his emotions as he looked at Novalee's excited expression. At that moment, he wondered if a woman like her would put on a facade?

Perhaps it was just a coincidence?

However, even he himself wasn't convinced by that excuse.

So, Walter sighed and said, "I'll go out and smoke."

"It's not good to smoke so often... Don't do it so frequently."

Walter paused for a moment after hearing Novalee's words and he said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you trying to control my actions?'

"No... I'm just telling you this for your own good."

At that instant, Novalee's face turned red.

She felt that her feeling for Walter was getting increasingly complicated.

However, Walter did not tease her any further and he went straight out.

He leaned against the window and lighted up a cigarette, though he didn't smoke much as he just let the cigarette burned down through his fingers. Then, he crashed it into ashes and let it scatter onto the floor.

Walter's mind seemed to be carried away and he was in a trance.

Novalee saw this scene when she came out.

She felt that Walter had been acting strangely recently and he seemed to have something on his mind, but she was too shy to ask him about it.

She thought that it was all because of the Jade Tycoon, Bosco.

At that instant, Novalee promised to herself deep down that she must ensure that their business could go through successfully, as she felt guilty having received so much help from Walter.

Then, Novalee returned to the ward at the thought of this.

Walter stayed outside for quite some time and he entered the ward when he felt that it was about time. Then, he saw that Novalee was all dressed up.

At that instant, he was rather surprised.

"I've never seen you wearing a dress... It looks nice on you."

Novalee felt shy after hearing Walter's words.

"I think it's inconvenient to wear dresses on normal days, so I never wore them, but I figure that I should wear a skirt today since I'm visiting my uncle. How do I look? Is my dress pretty?"

She spun around on the spot as she said.

"Hmm... You look beautiful."

Walter smiled faintly.

Then, Novalee walked to him and said, "Don't worry as I will try my best to ask Bosco to cooperate with you, so don't be so gloomy. You seem to be in a daze these days."

"I'm fine, let's go."

"Alright."

The two of them walked out of the hospital and went to Bosco's house.

Walter remained emotionless when he saw Bosco's house although it seemed magnificent and grand, Novalee was rather surprised.

"Wow, Bosco is rich!"

"Don't you know that? He earns huge profits from the jade market and his grand villa is nothing at all."

Novalee felt that she had overreacted as Walter seemed indifferent.

Then, she whispered, "Is my outfit too shabby?" "It's okay, I'm sure that Bosco doesn't mind." Walter looked at Novalee's outfit and figured that this might be the most expensive dress in her closet, but he thought that it didn't matter.

Her outfit wasn't a big deal as what mattered most was her intention.

"Will I embarrass you?"

Novalee felt timid all of a sudden.

However, Walter took her into his arms with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter what others think as I don't mind you at all."

"Alright."

Novalee lowered her head in embarrassment.

Later, a servant reported their arrival when the two of them went to the entrance and Bosco came out to greet them after hearing that Novalee came.

However, Walter frowned slightly as he looked at the way Bosco walked.

Walter used to be a soldier, so he could tell what was Bosco's occupation in the past.

It turned out that Bosco was a retired veteran.

"Nice to meet you, Bosco, it's been a long time since we last met."

Novalee greeted Bosco elegantly.

Then, Bosco said with a smile, "Look at you, you're all grown up now. I'm sure that your parents would be really happy to see you if they are still alive. Come on in!"

Bosco pulled Novalee into the house as he said that.

Then, Novalee quickly came to Walter's side and said with a beam, "Bosco, let me introduce him to you. He's my boyfriend, Walter Song."

Bosco glanced at his appearance and said with a faint smile, "You're well dressed, but your girlfriend's outfit doesn't match yours. Young man, a man's prestige does not depend solely on his own outfit."

However, Novalee quickly said after hearing

Bosco's words, "Bosco, you're mistaken. Walter wanted to buy me clothes but I refused as I think I look nice in this dress, isn't it? Are you not going to welcome me because of my outfit?"

"Haih... Novalee, you're too kind and you're very much like your mother... Let's get in."

Bosco shook his head before entering the house and he wasn't too enthusiastic about Walter's arrival.
