The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 773

"Ms. Shen, I may not have much time left."

Novalee sounded particularly sad when she said this.

Mango nodded his head. She didn't interrupt her, nor did she say anything. This made Novalee a little awkward.

"I know, you must hate me very much, or you think I'm particularly bad. You see, God has punished me. Don't be angry with me, please?"

Novalee looked at Mango pitifully.

Mango said in a low voice, "I wasn't angry with you. To be more precise, I was sad that you weren't being honest with me when I treated you as my friend. But that changed after I told myself that I will not let a stranger's emotion affect me. Thus, I don't feel much about you right now."

Upon hearing Mango's words, Novalee felt even more uncomfortable.

"Ms. Shen, I know that I have failed your trust and destroyed all the possibilities between us, but what choice do I have? My parents died when I was young and ever since my brother was ill, my life wasn't controlled by myself anymore. All I can do is to protect you as much as possible. This is the biggest compromised I made."

Novalee said sadly.

Perhaps she still felt a little wronged.

Mango couldn't help but think of Sophia's words as she looked at her.

"You didn't kidnap my aunt, did you? You went to the sanatorium to save her. You're afraid that Walter will be sad after knowing what happened to his mother, aren't you?"

Mango asked out her own speculation.

Novalee was a little stunned.

"Your aunt?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. My aunt is Walter's mother. She is my closest aunt. Walter and I are cousins. I also knew it not too long ago."

Novalee looked at them in surprise as she listened to Mango.

"You're cousins?"

"Yes!"

Walter nodded.

Novalee felt that she was stupid.

What was she doing?

She actually fought with her sister- in- law for Walter. What was wrong with her?

"Do you think I'm ridiculous?"

"No, on the contrary, I like you when it comes to your feelings for Walter. If it weren't for your feelings for Walter, I would not let you go easily. You should be glad that you did one good thing when you were alive."

Mango's words were like daggers stabbed into Novalee's wound as she felt the pain from it.

"You're really rude."

"Do I need to be polite? I don't think it's necessary. That's how thing is. I'm thankful that you saved my aunt from danger for Walter's sake. If you needed money, I could give them to you. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Mango's words really hurt Novalee. She had always felt that Mango was easy-going, but she never thought that every word that came out from her mouth hurt like hell when Mango was serious.

Novalee shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I had motives at that time. I wanted auntie to have a good impression of me so that Walter can talk to her about the marriage smoothly."

Mango already knew, but she was still feeling very uneasy.

"You didn't ask me here to hear you confess, did you? Novalee, I am not Walter. Walter is a sentimental person. Perhaps because of that, you fell for him and lied to him continuously. At this point, I don't think there's anything else to hide anymore. When I knew that you're from Zhang village, I told Walter that he needs to make sure whether or not you really did hurt your uterus while saving him. But do you know what he said? He said that if a woman is willing to give up her right to be a mother, she could really be desperate. He also said that you're not bad in the bones. He's willing to take care of you for the rest of his life and give this relationship a try. He's even willing to marry you. But how could you lie and hurt such a kind man?"

Mango was angry that Novalee wasn't honest with Walter.

How could there be so many lies in love?

Love was pure. Why do you need to mix other things in?

Novalee looked at Walter in shock and asked in a trembling voice, "Is that true?"

"Is there any point in saying these now?"

Walter had no intentions of saying all of these.

Novalee's gaze slowly went from excitement to dull.

She wore a bitter smile and said, "Yes, it's meaningless to say these words now, because I'm dying. Even if I regret and want to make up for it or to change, it's all too late. You and I were really never meant to be in this life."

Mango couldn't help but feel a little angry as she heard Novalee's words.

"Novalee, do you know that I can forgive you for whatever you did to me, but one thing I can't forgive is the way you treat a man who is sincere to you. He is my cousin and my former best friend. I invited you two for a business trip because I wanted to set you up with him, but it backfired. I was blind that I didn't see through who you really are. You may have many difficulties and frustration, but these are not reasons for you to hurt others and use them as excuses to lie to others. Even if you are about to die, I still won't forgive you, and I don't intend to forgive you. But as I said, since you have saved my aunt, I can promise you one request, which may also be the purpose of you asking me to come here."

Mango's words made Novalee feel very uncomfortable.

"Ms. Shen, you are really straightforward now. I am a dying, can't you show me some sympathy?"
