Chapter 740
"Walter, you''d better lie down and rest for a while so that you can recover from your injury."
Novalee quickly stepped forward and stood between Walter and Mango to block Walter''s view of
Mango.
Mango knew that Novalee had done it on purpose, but she didn''t say anything because just as
Walter had said, the two of them would live separate lives in the future.
They could no longer mess around and interfere with each other''s life carefreely as both of them
had found their true love, although they still cared for one another. They had to keep a distance
from each other in consideration of their true love''s feelings.
Suddenly, Mango felt very upset.
Then, Nathaniel pulled her into his arms and said softly, "Are you feeling ufortable? Or are you
too tired? You haven''t had a good rest after you arrived here by ne, so why don''t we go back and
have a rest?"
Walter heard that Mango hadn''t rested well and he immediately said, "Mango, you don''t have to
worry about me as it''s not like you don''t know that I''m a tenacious man with a strong life force. So,
just go back and rest. Nathaniel, take good care of her. Although I can''t stay by her side as her
lover, I''ll take her away from you as her brother if you let her suffer even the slightest bit of
grievance. As you know, I''ll really do as I said."
"Alright, let''s live a good life. Walter, both Mango and I wish you happiness and we''ll leave you if
your happiness doesn''t depend on us. We really hope for you to be safe and sound."
Nathaniel''s words made Walter stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I think Mr. Ye doesn''t want to disturb us."
Then, Novalee looked at Nathaniel nervously.
She had been on her guard as she was afraid that Mango might spill the beans, but she didn''t
expect Nathaniel to speak.
In Novalee''s eyes, Nathaniel was a calm and taciturn man and he would not intervene in women''s
affairs under usual circumstances, but what he said now really frightened Novalee.
Mango looked at Novalee and she really wanted Walter to know Novalee''s true colors, but she held
back atst.
Walter had fallen deeply in love with Novalee and he could even forgive her although she had
ulterior motives, so there was no point for Mango to argue anything.
Mango held Nathaniel''s hand tightly and said to Walter with a smile, "Walter, we''re leaving. You
should take good care of yourself in the future and I sincerely wish you happiness. Don''t forget to
bid us goodbye when you go back to Ocean City."
"Alright."
Walter noticed Mango''s reluctance and sadness.
At that moment, he felt satisfied!
That was enough!
Although he was not as important as Nathaniel in Mango''s heart, Walter found that he was neither
insignificant to her and that she cared about him. She didn''t love him, but it was time for him to put
an end to his one-sided love.
"I wish the both of you the best in the future and that you''ll live a happy life while being free from
harm and suffering."
"Thank you."
Nathaniel smiled and left with Mango.
They didn''t know what would happen to Novalee and Walter in the future, but they knew that they
shouldn''t be there at this moment.
At least there wasn''t a need for them to appear in Novalee and Walter''s world anymore.
Mango followed Nathaniel out of the hospital, but she was still feeling very depressed.
"Nathan, I feel really sad deep down... It''s not because Walter found a partner, but it''s because I
don''t think that Novalee is his true love. I''m afraid that he..."
"Who can ever tell if a person is someone else''s true love? Didn''t you feel that Novalee and Walter
were a good fit for each other when you haven''t seen Novalee''s true colors? Now you think that
they are not meant for each other because you know the truth, but Walter is in fact still willing to be
with Novalee although he knows that she doesn''t have good intentions. Mango, you can''t change
the fact that Walter is deeply in love with Novalee even if you are sad or worried as this is his
choice. It would be great if they could live happily in the future, but we will be by Walter''s side and
help him out of his sadness if he ever gets hurt one day. He''s not alone as we''re supporting him.
Also, he told me to be good to you as he cares about you and he said that he''ll take you away from
me as a brother if I don''t treat you well. So, he''s telling you indirectly that you are his family and
home."
At that instant, Mango''s eyes turned red as she heard this.
"Really? Is that what he meant?"
"Believe me, no one knows Walter better than me and he seems to have abandoned us, but in fact,
he just wants to give it a shot and find his own love. If he seeds, all of us would feel happy, but
he still has us even if his rtionship failed. In other words, we should congratte him as he has
finally found love, isn''t it?"
Mango looked at Nathaniel and it was the first time she felt that Nathaniel had the potential to be a
salesman.
"I''m still in a bad mood though... What should I do?"
Mango pursed her lips in a coquettish manner.
She acted like a spoiled child even though she was already an adult and she felt embarrassed at
herself for behaving in that manner, but Nathaniel smiled and said, "Would you like me to treat you
to a meal?"
"Sounds good! I want to eat plenty of good food and buy tonnes of things. By the way, I wanted to
give the jades that I got from Bosco to them as a gift, but I forgot about it."
However, Nathaniel shook his head after hearing what Mango had said.
"It''s hard to say if they really want to get married or not. We''ll talk about it again when they''ve really
decided to get married."
"Alright. Let''s go, Mr. Ye! Let''s have some food." Mango held Nathaniel''s arm.
She was now in a rxed mood after she got counseled by Nathaniel and she gently leaned
against him.
Nathaniel realized that he would be happy as long as Mango was happy and this kind of feeling was
really amazing as it made him feel really contented.
So, both of them went to enjoy a delicious meal and Mango went on a shopping spree with
Nathaniel''spanion in the shopping mall.
On the other side, Walter saw the happy faces of Mango and Nathaniel on social media and he
couldn''t help but smile as he said, "She finally fulfilled her wish... She longed for such a life eight
years ago and she''s now finally living under Nathaniel''s genuine care. I really hope that she''ll
always be smiling happily."
However, Novalee stepped forward in jealousy and put Walter''s phone away when she saw the look
in his eyes.
"It''s none of your business whether they are happy or not and she''s no longer someone you should
pay attention to from now on. Walter, you said that you are my boyfriend... Do you think it''s
appropriate for you to care for another woman in front of your girlfriend?"
Walter was stunned for a moment and then he said with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
"Why would I be jealous? I would never let myself suffer, but it''s an eyesore seeing that you''re so
affectionate to someone else."
Novalee put the phone on the table and she refused to admit it.
At that moment, Walter''s smile became even more pronounced.
"Just admit that you are jealous if you are, Novalee. I got all these injuries on my body because of
you, so why are you still doubting me? Mango is my past and I''m the one who has been pestering
her since the very beginning, so she couldn''t be happier now that I''ve let her go. You''re my future
and the woman I love now.
Having said that, Walter held Novalee in his amrs.
Novalee was stunned at that moment.
"I don''t have anything and I''m just an orphan, I..."
"I have the freedom to choose my wife and I don''t want an arranged marriage. You won''t have any
parents- in-w bossing you around too and you can live as you like when you''re with me. Novalee,
I can solve any problem for you and I just hope that you don''t lie to me. As you know, I''m a person
who can''t hold back my feelings once I''ve fallen for someone and I can give you anything you want
even if I have to sacrifice my life. All I wish for is that you don''t lie to me!"
Walter looked at Novalee and said word by word.
At that instant, Novalee was taken aback, but she suddenly turned her face away.
"I didn''t lie to you."
She bit her lower lip and her expression seemed conflicted.
Walter looked at her for a long time and he couldn''t help but felt a little disappointed as he had given
Novalee a chance... Why didn''t she confess to him?
He could forgive her no matter what the reason was as long as she spilled the beans.
However, why didn''t she tell him?
Walter screamed internally as he felt really upset.
Novalee didn''t dare to look into Walter''s eyes and she sat there a little uneasily, so she quickly
stood up and said, "I''ll find a doctor to have a look at you."
After that, she ran out as if she were escaping.
Then, Novalee leaned against the wall in the corridor and gasped after running out of the room.
Should she lie to him?
Could she spill the beans?
She would have told him a long time ago if it was something that she could say, but what should she
do now?
She had also fallen in love with Walter.
In fact, she fell in love with him the moment she saw that he tried to rescue her so recklessly.

No woman could resist Walter''s tenderness.
However, she...
Then, Novalee burst into tears.
Tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes and she could only cry silently.
She couldn''t tell others about her pain and she could only bear it by herself, even if that person was
someone so dear to her.
She couldn''t let Walter find out her despicableness and dark side, nor let him notice her ws as
she was deeply in love with him.
Novalee bit her lower lip and cried for a while before she wiped her tears and walked to the doctor''s
office.
She would stay by Walter''s side no matter what and apany him for the rest of her life as all she
wanted now was just to be with him.
On the other hand, Walter didn''t feel pleased either.
He had been waiting for Novalee to confess to him, but she still refused to reveal the truth even
though he had already made his words so clear and explicit.
Could it be that she couldn''t say it and that there was something he didn''t know?
Walter had no idea.
He could feel Novalee''s concern for him, but he couldn''t tell how sincere she was.
Walter was a person who valued rtionships and he could treat a person wholeheartedly without
reserve. Also, he had never expected his partner to return his favor, but he just hoped that she
would treat him genuinely.
Mango didn''t have feelings for him, so she made it explicit that she didn''t love him and that she
wouldn''t give him any chance, but Walter had no idea what should he do with Novalee.
Walter leaned against the bed and lit a cigarette as he was distressed.
Later, Novalee saw Walter smoking when she came back.
So, she snatched the cigarette away.
"Do you want to die? Or are you crazy? Don''t you know what''s wrong with your health? How dare
you smoke? Walter, do you know how much blood you have lost? Do you know how many wounds
you have on your body? Do you know...mmm..."
Before Novalee could finish her words, Walter grabbed her and turned around before pressing her
on the bed and he kissed her overbearingly.
Novalee struggled for a moment, but she gave up and wrapped her hands around Walter''s neck
before she gradually immersed herself in the mood.
