Mango looked up and saw Deborah standing there as if she was frozen.
Mango said a few words to Nathaniel and then came to Deborah's side.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you want to go to the washroom? Why are you here?"
Deborah seemed to have come to her senses, but her face looked terrible.
"It's Walter."
Deborah felt that there was no need to hide this from Mango. Moreover, she hoped that Mango could help her.
Although she was a strong lady and she was pursuing after Walter all these while, there were some things that she really could not get over.
Mango also frowned.
What was Walter doing here?
She could not help thinking of Sophia who had called Walter.
Could it be that he came here to see Sophia?
A hint of coldness flashed through Mango's eyes.
If Walter cannot tell what was right or wrong,
Mango did not mind teaching the man a good lesson.
"Wait a minute."
Mango walked back to Nathaniel and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any way that we can get the room next to 202?"
Although Nathaniel did not know what had happened, since Mango had already asked and Deborah's mood was not too good, he thought for a moment and said, "I'll make a call and give it a try."
"Right."
Mango knew that with Nathaniel's ability, it was not difficult to replace the private room.
Sure enough, Nathaniel was done in a few minutes.
Mango pulled Deborah to the private room next to Walter's.
As soon as they sat down, they heard Walter's cold voice.
"What do you have to say face-to-face?"
"Walter, I heard that you had an accident. How is it? Are you feeling better now?"
When Sophia's voice came out, Mango and Nathaniel shivered.
It was really Sophia!
Nathaniel's face darkened a little.
Mango motioned for him to calm down.
Deborah's hands were clasped tightly together and she looked very nervous.
Sophia's existence weighed heavily in Walter's heart. When Walter was heart broken and traveled abroad, he actually also hoped to meet Sophia, right?
Unfortunately, he did not meet her and could only come back.
Now Sophia called him and asked him to meet here, but Walter did not mention anything to Deborah.
Although she knew the reason they were to get married was not because of love, Deborah was still very hurt.
Walter's voice carried a tint of sarcasm.
"Can't you see? Are you blind?"
Sophia was astonished by his words.
In her memory, Walter had never spoken to her in this way. This kind of tone was usually used to talk to Carter. How could he use it on her?
Sophia frowned slightly and said, "Walter, why are you talking to me like this?"
"Then how do you want me to treat you? How do you want me to talk to you? Do you think it's too hypocritical to take care of you as I used to do?" Walter sneered sarcastically.
Sophia's face finally sank.
"Just because of Mango, you treated your biological mother with such cruelty. Did Carter teach you this?"
"I think there may be something wrong in your memory. Carter educated me? Do you think it is possible? For so many years, I have always thought that you were the sunshine in my heart, but I didn't expect that you had betrayed me. It's meaningless to say this now. What do you want from me? Be quick."
Walter's voice was faint, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry.
Sophia still wanted to teach Walter a lesson, but she stopped when she saw him like this.
She was silent for a moment and said, "I heard that you are going to get married? And she's the daughter of the Grey family? The one in Peolian Island?"
Walter narrowed his eyes and sneered immediately.
"What? Do you want to get something from the Grey family? Or do you want your son to be a live-in son-in-law so that the Grey family will give you something beneficial to you?"
"What are you talking about!"
Sophia smashed the teacup with a bang.
She had broken things when she pretended to be crazy. At that time, Walter thought she was pitiful. As long as she had not hurt herself, she could break anything. Now that he was witnessing her throwing things around, Walter found it ironic.
"What? Did I say it correctly? You've taken advantage of me and my wife. Who gave you the right? You think that all of these are reasonable just because I'm your child? But Debbie isn't your daughter. You don't have the right, and you can't do anything to her!"
Walter's words angered Sophia, but Deborah's eyes were filled with tears.
Walter was protecting herself!
Mango and Nathaniel also let out sighs of relief.
Fortunately, Walter knew howto cherish his wife. Otherwise, he would see how Deborah would punish him later at home.
Sophia's chest heaved rapidly and she almost had a heart attack.
Why couldn't she think of her own son?
However, there was no answer to these questions.
Deborah looked at the other side with some concern. She really wanted to go there and comfort him right now. This man was making her heart wrench, but she could not accompany him now.
Mango was right. Sophia was a scar in Walter's heart. Now that Sophia had personally hurt him once again, his heart was basically bleeding. Naturally, Walter did not want anyone to see it.
After experiencing such a situation, both Deborah and Mango were no longer in the mood to eat.
Mango said softly, "Let's go back first, you..." "I'll sit here for a while."
Deborah did not want to leave.
It was because Walter was still there and she was very worried about him.
Mango nodded. Of course, she knew what Deborah was thinking. Without saying anything, she left with Nathaniel hand in hand.
The police cars were everywhere outside, as if they were investigating someone. It seemed that Walter really called the police.
Mango knew that it was not easy for Walter to do this. After all, the person was his mother whom he had always cared for.
She sighed slightly.
Nathaniel said in a deep voice, "Walter has everything in hand. If he was alone, it would be easy. But he has a family now and he needs to think about Deborah. Sophia also said that she seems to be targeting the Grey family. This is not good."
"The Grey family's major business is on the sea. What does Sophia want to do with the Grey family's sea route?"
Mango could not help but frown.
It was almost the new year. Would all these problems come to an end?
Would there be any trouble on New Year's Day?
Thinking of this, she felt uncomfortable.
"The last time Sophia got to run away, but she still had the courage to come back. She really isn't afraid of getting caught again, huh."
"Since she isn't afraid, she must have a plan. Sophia may not be the only one. Be careful these days. Don't go anywhere even if you're free."
Nathaniel was a little worried.
Mango smiled, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going back to grandpa's place to reminisce with Andrea. I wonder how grandpa has been training her recently."
Thinking of Andrea, Nathaniel suddenly laughed.
To be able to get Brantley to teach Andrea, Mango really had done a wonderful job.
"Oh, right. What about Dylan..."
"He's fine. I've already contacted him. After knowing what Andrea did, he completely gave up and has already returned home. As for what happened to Andrea, he doesn't want to know. His family has gotten him engaged, but he was very resistant to it at first. Now he wants to try out blind dates and if that turns out well, he wants to try to date the person. Maybe he will get married
soon."
Nathaniel's words finally put Mango at ease.
