Chapter 431
Rita was left behind and realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.
She followed Mango from behind obediently. However, she would look asionally at Zion who was
shedding tears before asking Mango softly, "Mom, did I do something wrong?"
"No, Rita is very obedient."
Mango picked up Rita and she left the living room with her luggage in her hand.
Thomas was already waiting outside. When he saw Mangoing out, Thomas hurried forward
and he took over the luggage from her.
"Mrs. Ye, let me do it."
"Thank you."
Mango carried Rita and got into the car.
Suddenly, Rita felt that the pineapple buns in her hand were no longer delicious.
She looked at the window outside and she asked worriedly, "Mommy, when are weing back?
Zion didn''t mean to lie to you. I was going against him just now, maybe his stomach is truly in pain
now."
Mango stroked her daughter’s hair and she said, "Your brother is gonna be fine as Daddy is there.
Why? Rita doesn''t like to follow Mommy to Grandma''s house?"
"No, it''s just that Mommy and Daddy seem to quarrel, and Zion looks sad too. Isn’t it bad if we leave
it like that?"
Rita finally understood something.
Mango said in a gentle voice, "Mommy didn''t quarrel with daddy. It''s just a little conflicted. Do you
think your daddy and I have a fight? Hmm?"
"I guess no! I heard Xiao Hua from the kindergarten saying that her daddy and mommy quarreled
every single day. Their voices were louder, and they would even hit each other! But, Mommy and
Daddy don''t seem to have done that."
Rita tilted her small head and tried hard to think about the concept of quarreling.
As far as she could remember, it seemed that Daddy and Mommy didn''t really fight with each other.
"Yeah, that''s why Daddy and Mommy didn''t get into a fight."
Mango''s face didn''t turn red and her heart didn''t race as she coaxed Rita.
Indeed, she did not quarrel with Nathaniel and it was just a cold war.
Mango was somewhat a bit sad when she thought about this. Her heart was wrenched with much
emptiness.
Thomas got into the car. Just when he wanted to say something, Thomas stopped again when he
heard what Mango had told to Rita.
The car drove to Shen family''s house.
Rita was still struggling over the matter, but when she passed by the shop selling fried chicken, Rita
snapped that she wanted to eat the drumstick. Thus, Thomas stopped his car and he went to buy it
for her.
At this moment, nothing was more important than a big chicken leg.
Mango was very touched when she saw her daughter''s gluttonous look.
Thank God, her daughter was fine!
At that moment, her daughter''s situation seemed to have improved.
Just as Mango was waiting for Thomas with Rita in her arms, the car door was suddenly opened.
Then, a man suddenly squeezed his way in and startled Mango.
Mango hugged Rita tightly and she couldn''t help but ask, "Who is that?"
"It''s me."
Walter took off his hat quickly.
Mango heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Walter.
"What are you doing here? You look so sneaky and others might misunderstand that there''s
something between you and me."
The news of the photo had spread like wildfire throughout Ocean City. Although Nathaniel had
exined by using Susie''s matter to the people in Ocean City, it was still unconvincing. Moreover,
there were still lots of people interested in the interaction between Walter and Mango.
Hence, Mango was a bit anxious when Walter appeared out of nowhere now.
She nced around and after ensuring that no one was looking at her, Mango breathed a sigh of
relief.
Walterughed bitterly while saying, "You are indeed afraid of having a scandal with me, aren''t
you?"
"No, it''s just in a special period, I..."
Mango felt that she had made a big fuss too.
Previously, Mango didn''t seem to have so many scruples when she stayed at Walter''s casino.
Instead of saying that she was scared of others to suspect her rtionship with Walter, perhaps
Mango was jittery about the possibility of Nathaniel misunderstood her and got jealous.
At the thought of Nathaniel, Mango''s expression turned sour.

Despite she was upset with Nathaniel for taking advantage of her child and her, Mango couldn’t
help but think about him at that moment.
This kind of unsettling action made Mango very annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.
So, Walter asked her automatically upon seeing Mango’s expression, "Do you have something on
your mind?"
"No, I intend to take Rita back to my mother''s house for a visit. Are you looking for me? You can just
call me then."
"I won''t follow your car out if I can get through your phone call."
Walter''s words stunned Mango a little.
She violently fumbled in her pocket, only to find that the phone was missing.
Could it be that she left it at the Ye''s Mansion?
Mango was a little peeved with her absentmindedness.
"Sorry, my phone might leave me at home."
"It''s fine."
Although Mango was reluctant to answer him, Walter could tell that Mango had something on her
mind and she was very unhappy. However, he did not point it out. He muffled, "I can''t stay here for
too long. Thomas is hard to deal with and I don''t want to see him either. Earlier on, I told Nathaniel
that I have something to discuss with you but he didn''t allow it. It''s fine if it''s just something ordinary,
but this issue is a bit troublesome. So, I have to see you."
Upon hearing Walter''s words, Mango paused for a moment.
Nathaniel didn''t mention anything about Walter''s meeting with him.
It seemed that he did not trust Mango and Walter being together.
Mango knew that this man was narrowminded, and now she had a mixed feeling in her heart. But,
she couldn''t express what it was.
"What''s the matter?"
Mango knew that unless there was something particrly important, Walter would not be like this.
Although Rita was a glutton, she was quite obedient by keeping silent when the adults spoke.
Walter looked at Rita and he smiled while rubbing her hair. Then, he said, "Rita is getting more and
more beautiful."
"Thank you, Uncle Song!"
Every girl liked to be praised for their beauty by others, and Rita Luo was no exception. Naturally,
she was all smiles.
She was no longer staring at Mango and Walter after Walter praising her. Instead, she turned to
look out of the window while saying anxiously, "Uncle Song is queueing up very slowly. When can
he get the drumstick that I want to eat?"
"It won''t be long. Don''t worry."
Mango tried tofort Rita, but she heard Walter speak in the voice within earshot of only two
people, "When I found John, I got to know that he was a drug addict. He had done a lot of things for
Susie these years. I heard that Susie took a package from him some time ago and she gave it to
someone. I don''t know who was the recipient, but she said it was a good-looking woman of twenty
years old. I pondered about it and I wondered if it was Andrea. If Susie gave it to her, to whom
would Andrea be using that package?"
Walter''s words made Mango slightly stunned.
Mango had nothing to do with Andrea. Even if Andrea wanted to harm her, she could not enter the
courtyard of the Ye family, not to mention to get close to her.
There was only one person who could get close to her without anyone''s notice.
It was Madam Hans!
Mango''s eyes suddenly widened.
"I''ve been thinking about this for a long time and I''ve been hesitating if I should tell you. I know your
rtionship with the Hans family is very strained now, but you have the final say. So, you decide it
on your own on this matter."
After Walter finished, Mango was silent.
Last time, Mango had lost her child because of helping Madam Hans to get her medicine. But,
Madam Hans was not grateful for that at all. Now, should Mango tell this news to the Hans family?
She didn''t know, but she just felt very confused.
"Why don''t you tell Nathaniel about this?"
Mango''s words made Walter pause for a moment, and then he replied softly, "What does the Hans
family have to do with him? He would never care about them. I just don''t want you to have regret."
"Thank you, Walter."
Mango thanked Walter from the bottom of her heart.
That''s right.
The people Nathaniel cared about were never the Hans family.
It was her!
But now, in order to find Susie, he could even manipte Mango, who he cared so much about.
Besides, Nathaniel even ced the Hans family in such a desperate situation. So, would he still
care about Madam Hans''s safety?
Of course not!
Mango''s mind became more and moreplicated.
When Walter saw that Thomas had bought drumsticks, he quickly said, "I''ll go back first. Call me if
you have anything to say."
"Alright."
As soon as Mango finished her words, Walter put on his hat, directly opened the door and got out of
the car.
Thomas instantly sped up when he saw someone leave Mango''s car from afar.
"Mrs. Ye, are you alright?"
"It''s all right. It''s a friend of mine. I met her and asked her toe over and talk to me."
Mango''s expression was very calm.
Thomas couldn''t see anything wrong either, but he felt a little ufortable.
"Mrs. Ye, it''s better for you to stay away from others for the time being."
"I know."
"Uncle Song, my big drumstick!"
Rita stared at the drumstick in Thomas'' s hand from the moment he got on the car. And now, she
was about to drool.
Thomas couldn''t say anything upon hearing Rita’s words. He could only hand over the drumstick to
Rita.
"Eat slowly. It''s a little hot. It''s freshly cooked."
"It''s okay!"
Rita anxiously took it over and ate it in one gulp. The greasy chicken soup filled her mouth, but Rita
didn''t care at all.
Seeing his daughter''s current state, Mango was both angry and amused.
"Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you."
Mango took out a piece of tissue paper to wipe Rita''s mouth. Rita smiled very contentedly, as if
having a big chicken leg meant having the entire world.
Thomas didn''t say anything further when he saw the mother and daughter''s interaction. So, he got
into the car to drive towards the Shen family''s house.
Because the news about Susie had been exposed in the public, the reporters at the Shen family''s
entrance had already moved. Moreover, thetest news had already rified the authenticity of
Mango''s photos. It also said that Susie had escaped and she was currently missing.
Everyone started to change their perception of Mango. Many people imed that a virtuous person
like Mango wouldn’t do something like that. Some even said that the woman Nathaniel fancied
wouldn''t have a bad moral character.
For a moment, the public''s attitude had changed.
Mango knew that the Ye family''s public rtions team was manipting everything behind the
scenes. However, none of this was important anymore.
She brought Rita back to the Shen family''s house. The moment she opened the door to see her
parents, she could feel the rims of her eyes welling up shortly.
"Mom and Dad, I''m back."
Mango sobbed as she watched them walking towards her. It was only at this moment that she
realized that the hair on their temples had turned white.
When she was about to rush forward and hug them, a figure appeared suddenly and it headed
straight for Rita.
