Chapter 742
Nathaniel was a little jealous, but he knew that Mango was just caring about Walter and her original
intention had nothing to do with love.
"Alright, pack up now and we''ll go visit Nanny Zhang''s grave."
Nathaniel patted Mango''s shoulder and turned to leave.
On the other hand, Mango looked at Nathaniel''s back. Although there were many grudges between
her and Nanny Zhang, she did not want to continue fighting until the end.
She went back to her room and changed into a new set of clothes before they went to Nanny
Zhang''s grave.
Nathaniel knelt down to offer incense to Nanny Zhang.
Mango didn''t know what kind of intimate conversation he had with Nanny Zhang as she was just a
daughter-inw at this moment.
"I''ll show my respect to her as well."
Mango''s words caused Nathaniel to be a little taken aback, but he was touched at that instant.
"Don''t force yourself. I know that what she did before her death is really harmful to you and the
children."
"As you said, that was when she was alive. She has already left and cured both of our illnesses
before she died, so I guess her deeds can make up for her faults."
Mango walked forward and lit up an incense stick for Nanny Zhang.
Looking at the photo on Nanny Zhang''s tombstone, she thought of her life during these 8 years of
marriage and she really cherished what she had now.
"Nathaniel, let''s go home. I miss the children."
All of a sudden, Mango felt that no one nor any issues could be more important than the happiness
of their whole family when they were together.
"Okay. We''ll leave in a minute."
Nathaniel and Mango looked at each other as they smiled and held each other''s hands tightly.
Mango had already packed up her things when Henry found them.
"What are you..."
"We''re going back to Ocean City. As I said,e to Ocean City to find me after your graduation. I
will give you a job for the sake of the vigers, but you have to bepetent, otherwise, I can''t offer
you the opportunity."
Nathaniel''s words made Henry nod gratefully.
"I will work hard, Mr. Ye."
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye."
Then, Mango and Nathaniel left Longford Country.
Before getting on the ne, Mangomissioned awyer to give the tourismpany to Walter
as it wasn''t her passion. So, it was better to let Walter take over directly now that he wanted to offer
Novalee some shares.
Mango wasn''t a person who would make things difficult for herself.
She and Novalee were not the same kinds of people, so they would naturally not be able to work
together in the future. Hence, it was better for Mango to give thepany away rather than having
her cooperate with Novalee as the shareholders of thepany. As such, they could also avoid
meeting each other.
Nathaniel did not stop Mango''s actions.
Later, Walter was stunned when he received the authorization letter.
He didn''t understand this as he thought that Mango admired Novalee... Why did she give the
company to him after he proposed to let Novalee be one of the shareholders?
On the other hand, Novalee looked at the letter in Walter''s hand and asked curiously, "What is it?"
"What happened between you and Mango?"
Novalee was stunned and then she said with a quick smile, "What''s wrong with Ms. Shen and me?
We''re getting along very well."
Walter looked at Novalee and he did not speak as he put the authorization letter away.
"I think you don''t have to invest in Mango''s tourismpany anymore. I can give you a sum of
money for you to start apany yourself if you''d like to. After all, it''s not easy to coborate with
others in the business world."
Walter''s words made Novalee pause and said, "It''s fine for me as I can do anything and I don''t have
to work in this tourismpany. Anyway, you don''t have to worry about me as I can do my own
thing. I knew that someone like Ms. Shen certainly doesn''t want to cooperate with a trivial character
like me."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Mango isn''t the kind of person that you described."
Walter suddenly became a little angry.
Although he didn''t know what had happened between Mango and Novalee, he could tell from
Novalee''s strange tone that it wasn''t Mango''s fault.
Could it be that Novalee had gone overboard in what she had done to Mango?
Walter closed his eyes and recalled that Mango and Novalee were in the ward just now, but they did
notmunicate with each other at all.
It was all his fault that he didn''t notice it.
Mango must have beenpletely disappointed in him.
He fell in love with a girl with such a personality and even offended his best friend.
On the other hand, when Novalee saw that Walter closed his eyes and ignored her, she suddenly
felt that she was wronged.
"Why are you so protective of Mango?"
At that instant, Walter opened his eyes.
"Mango? Why are you not calling her Ms. Shen anymore?"
"Ms. Shen? I''ve resigned, so why should I call her Mr. Shen? Walter, you are my boyfriend now, but
you are trying to vent your anger for Mango. Don''t you want to know what happened between us?
Well, it''s no big deal anyway as I just told her directly to stay away from my boyfriend in the future.
Am I wrong for saying this?"
Novalee''s words suddenly made Walter frown.
"It has nothing to do with Mango at all and I''m the one who had feelings for her. She doesn''t have
that kind of attraction towards me at all."
"Yeah, she doesn''t like you and it''s you who are so eager to get close to her, but is shepletely
innocent? She''s aware that you like her, but she still pestered you even though she knew that she
can''t give you a future. She just wants to have two guys by her side, isn''t it? I also can''t understand
Nathaniel as he treats her like a treasure although she''s so flirty. Who knows if she has cheated on
Nathaniel behind his back?"
Then, Walter pped Novalee as soon as she finished speaking.
Novalee was stunned upon that p, so was Walter.
"I don''t allow you to insult Mango!"
Walter''s palm was burning with pain and he felt really heartbroken deep down.
Novalee recovered from the shock of being beaten and she looked at Walter coldly. Suddenly, she
pped Walter''s face crazily.
"You don''t allow it? Walter, I am your girlfriend yet you hit me because of another woman? Are you
even a man?"
Walter did not dodge and he let Novalee''s fingernails cut through his face.
He didn''t want to do it either, but he was too agitated just now and he regretted it immediately after
he pped her. However, he just couldn''t tolerate others describing Mango in such a manner.
Mango waspletely innocent as there was only Nathaniel in her heart this whole time.
However, Walter felt that he had gone too far when he thought about it from Novalee''s perspective.
Novalee suddenly felt a little nervous when she saw that Walter''s face was bleeding.
"Are you stupid? Don''t you know how to avoid it when I p you? I''ll see if Mango would still like
you now that your appearance has been ruined."
As she said that, Novalee quickly brought a disinfectant and a cotton swab before carefully applying
it on Walter''s face.
Looking at Novalee''s nervous expression, Walter suddenly smiled and said, "Mango didn''t like me in
the first ce and she wouldn''t do so even if my face is ruined... but would you fall for me?"
"I''m not out of my mind, so why would I fall in love with a man who hurt me?"
Novalee said in a bad mood.
Walter looked at the p mark on Novalee''s cheeks and he could not help but feel a little
distressed.
"Does it hurt?"
"Obviously."
Novalee avoided Walter''s hand as she was still angry.
Then, Walter sighed and said, "Novalee, I know that you are jealous, and I know that no woman will
allow her boyfriend to love another woman. I have tried my best to forget her, but Mango brought
me warmth during my childhood days and she''s my savior when I grew up. I won''t be who I am now
without her and she meant a lot to me other than the fact that she''s my first love. Perhaps you will
not understand how lonely I felt when I was a child and I even wanted tomit suicide, but Mango
appeared and gave me hope. She warmed my heart as she gave me a reason to continue living
and that''s why Mango meant a lot to me... She is clean, pure, and loyal in rtionships. Although
Nathaniel used to be too ignorant and he failed to see her good sides, she still waited for him to
change his mind. On the other hand, I''m not someone that could enter their world. So, do not say
anything bad about Mango and don''t smear her, because you are insulting what I believe in. It is
because of her love for Nathaniel that I believe that there is true love in the world. It is their
rtionship that gave me the courage to find my true love. Do you understand?"
Novalee had never heard Walter talk about this before.
All of a sudden, she began to feel a little jealous of Mango.
"If she''s so special and important to you, can you really forget her and be with me?"
"Why should I forget her? Everyone yed different roles and created values in my life. She used to
be my guidingmp who led me through my dark past, but now I will hold tightly as you''re my hope.
I will not let you slip away from my life and I also hope that I am your future. You can tell me
anything and I''ll share the burden with you."
Walter''s eyes were extra gentle.
However, Novalee looked at him and she felt really heartbroken deep down.
"I''ll get some ice cubes and rub them on my face so that others don''tugh at me when I go out."
Novalee wanted to escape again but she was stopped by Walter.
"Sit down and rest. I''ll get it for you as it''s my fault... I shouldn''t have pped you, and I won''t do it
again, but I also hope that I won''t hear any nderous words about Mango from you anymore in the
future. Is that alright?"
"Okay, whatever you say. Hurry up and go get the ice cubes."
Novalee quickly turned her head.
Walter knew that she was still angry, but he went out without saying anything.
Then, Novalee sat alone on the hospital bed while thinking about what Walter had just said, and she
felt even more ufortable.
Why didn''t she meet Walter at the right timing?
Why was it that all the men she had a crush on would have a soft spot for Mango in their hearts?
Why did her boyfriend hit her for the sake of a woman like Mango?
Novalee kept asking herself why and she covered her face subconsciously.

She had been bullied since she was a child and it was not that she had never been beaten, but it
was the first time that she had been hit by her boyfriend.
Novalee could not help but feel a little resentful.
It was all because of Mango!
She and Walter wouldn''t even have argued if it weren''t for Mango.
Mango just had a poor tourismpany and Novalee didn''t give a d*mn about it.
However, nobody could take over thepany since she couldn''t.
A trace of cruelty and cunningness shed across Novalee''s eyes, but shepletely held back
her emotions when Walter came back.
She absolutely couldn''t let Walter see her evil side.
"Here are the ice cubes."
Walter came in with an ice bag.
However, the moment Novalee took it, Walter held her hand and pped himself in the face.
"Ah! Walter, are you crazy? What are you doing?"
Novalee felt that her palm was burning in pain and Walter''s left face had swollen.
"I got you to p me back!"
Walter looked at Novalee with a smile, but she burst in tears in an instant.
"You''re crazy!"
Then, she pushed Walter away and ran out.
Walter smiled when he saw the tears in her eyes and he thought that Novalee had forgiven him.
Anyway, it was not right for him to hit her and he should give her something to pay back for his
mistake.
So, Walter turned on his mobile phone to check as he thought about this.
On the other hand, Novalee ran out of the ward and she was very sad.
Just then, her cell phone suddenly rang.
Novalee''s face turned pale at that instant when she saw the caller ID on her phone.
