The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1209

Mango and Deborah's expressions changed when they heard Nathaniel's words.

"How could this be? What happened?"

Deborah had never met Carter before, but she could tell that Carter was very important to Walter.

Walter had never brought up Carter. However, when he heard that something had happened to Carter, he was not even in the mood to continue his honeymoon trip.

Well, Walter wasn't a man who would talk about his emotions, but he still valued Carter greatly.

Now that Deborah heard that Carter had gotten into trouble, she started to think about whether Walter could accept the truth or now.

"Get in the car first."

Nathaniel said this as he didn't know what had happened either.

Meanwhile, Mango was a little worried about her children.

Nathaniel seemed to have understood her worries, so he whispered, "It's okay, the servants will be watching over them, so don't worry."

After hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango was

relieved. Then, she got into the car with Deborah.

Then, Nathaniel drove them to a hotel and stopped at the entrance.

They could see that Walter took Carter to the hotel after he found him.

However, there were two police cars there too.

Hence, Mango began to feel a little uneasy.

At this thought, she nudged Nathaniel.

Mango still remembered how they had come out from Ocean City stealthily. When she saw the police car, she was a little stunned and anxious.

However, Nathaniel acted as if he hadn't seen the police cars. Instead, he just held Mango's hand and entered the hotel straightaway.

The atmosphere in the hotel was a little tense.

Mango was getting more uneasy as she walked further down. Although Deborah did not utter a word, Mango could tell that she was very nervous too.

After they entered, Michael's men walked over to them instantly.

"Mr. Ye, this way please."

This man was obviously one of Nathaniel's subordinates.

Then, Nathaniel glanced at him faintly and then followed behind him.

After that, they entered the exclusive elevator.

The elevator soon reached the floor where Walter was at.

However, it seemed that the police had taken over this floor, and they were questioning all the people that were there.

Meanwhile, Mango seemed to have sensed something, so she gripped Nathaniel's hand tighter.

Thus, they felt stressed as they walked to room 609.

Meanwhile, Walter was smoking at the door.

The smoke covered this face, and his expression could not be seen clearly. However, everyone could tell that he was upset.

Deborah walked over to him and held his hand gently. Then, she asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Walter started tearing up he heard Deborah's question.

"Deborah, my dad... he is gone."

He said these words with a hoarse voice and grieving tone.

He suddenly hugged Deborah and sobbed, "Urgh! I'm really an orphan now."

Mango couldn't help but tear up when she heard those words.

After that, Nathaniel guided Mango into the room so that they would give the couple some privacy.

At this moment, Walter needed someone to comfort him, and the person would be Deborah, not them.

After Mango followed Nathaniel in, she saw that Carter was dead.

He was lying on the bed with white liquid at the corner of his mouth, and his face was severely black.

"Was he poisoned?"

Nathaniel frowned slightly as he asked.

Michael nodded and replied, "Yes, he killed himself."

Mango froze at that instant.

Why did Carter commit suicide?

She still remembered how panic-stricken Carter was when she saw him not long ago. In fact, he even did not allow Walter to come here. So why did he kill himself in less than a day?

Why did he commit suicide?

Also, why did he refuse to tell her anything?

Mango had no idea, but she could understand

Walter's feelings.

After all, Walter and Deborah had rushed from far away. However, they didn't expect that Carter to commit suicide, and he even chose to die in front of Walter. Thus, they couldn't accept the truth.

"Did he die before or after Walter arrived?"

"After that."

Then, Michael replied softly, "When Walter arrived, he found Carter. At that time, Carter was not in his right mind and had a high fever. He kept telling Walter to leave, but at that time, we thought that it was because of the fever. So, we found a doctor to check on him, and he put Carter on a drip. He fell asleep slowly after his body temperature dropped. Then, I went out to buy some food for Walter while he went to smoke outside. When he came back, Carter was already dead. He should have been carrying the poison with him all along. If Walter wasn't there, I guess he would have done the same too."

Upon hearing Michael's words, Mango and Nathaniel both frowned.

Carter, who should have been on a trip, appeared here and lived such a miserable life. However, he didn't even dare to let Walter know about this. So, why did he do this?

This question lingered in Mango's mind.

When Nathaniel walked out of the hotel with Mango by his side, he felt that the night had turned even more dreadful.

Mango wasn't sure whether it was because of Carter's death or because it was too cold outside, but she couldn't help but lean towards Nathaniel.

After that, Nathaniel unbuttoned his coat and wrapped her tightly in his arms.

Mango felt warmer instantly, but it did not warm her heart.

Then, she said sadly, "I don't know why, but I don't think that I can't watch anyone we know die now. Alas! I must be getting old!"

"Hey! That's nonsense! Do you know how old you are? You're not even 30, so why are you saying that?"

Then, Nathaniel tightened his arm and whispered, "Carter's death doesn't look like an accident."

"What did you find?"

Mango looked up at Nathaniel with a questioning gaze as she asked.

She knew that no one really liked Carter when he was alive. However, he was Walter's father, so Mango cared about how Walter felt right now.

However, Nathaniel shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything, and this is just my guess. In the past, when Carter married Sophia, they were living a happy life, and they loved each other very much. I got someone to look into him and found out that he had spent a lot of money on Sophia. To please her, he renovated the old Song family's house into the way Sophia liked. However, in the second year after Walter was born, Carter cheated on Sophia unexpectedly, but no one knew about it. The people in Ocean City could not believe the news at that time. After all, the two of them were quite deeply in love. After that, Carter took Delilah Fang into the house that he refurbished for Sophia, and it seemed that he did it on purpose to annoy Sophia."

Mango had no idea about this, and Walter probably didn't know about this either. Wait, did Nathaniel investigate this issue on purpose.

"When did you find out about this?"

"Today."

Nathaniel's words surprised Mango again, and she could feel her heart swelling with happiness.

Wow, was Nathaniel investigating this in his study while she had been resting today?

Mango realized that Nathaniel spent so much of his time looking into these old matters because he knew she cared about Walter, and Carter was Walter's father.

Thus, she started tearing up at this thought.

Then, she held Nathaniel's waist tightly and said, "Why are you spoiling me so much?"

Nathaniel smiled faintly, but he didn't say anything.

After that, the two of them got into the car. When Nathaniel was driving, Mango looked over at him.

There were black circles under his eyes, so she could tell that he hadn't been resting well.

At this thought, Mango placed her hand on his and said softly, "Nathan, take care of yourself, or else I'll be worried. After all, to me, no one is more important than you."

These words were like magic, and they instantly warmed Nathaniel's heart.

Thus, the corners of his lips raised into a smile as he replied, "Yeah, I will."

The two of them did not speak again, but the atmosphere in the car was pleasant.

Suddenly, Mango recalled what Nathaniel had said just now. What exactly was he trying to tell her?

Was it really just an old story?

However, Mango felt that Nathaniel was trying to tell her something else.
