The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 1859

Evangeline tilted her head and looked at Zion. Suddenly, she asked, "Am I useless in your heart?"

"No."

Zion answered with certainty.

He glanced at Evangeline and said, "You're strong, persistent, and reluctant, so I admire you the most, but everyone has the right to live a wonderful life. You're the woman that I like, so I don't want you to not have any memories on your own when you think back on your past. It's unfair to you, Evangeline. I don't have the right to ask you to give up yourself like this. You're full of energy and very competitive, and you've been the same throughout my childhood."

Hearing Zion's words, Evangeline was shocked.

"Didn't you hate me very much when you were young?"

"Yes, because you were more flamboyant and outstanding than me!"

Zion's answer stunned Evangeline.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Zion said seriously, "When I was young, I was considered the chosen one. Everyone said that I was a genius, but you almost defeated me. To be honest, I was very angry at that time. I even felt that as long as I didn't see you and stay with you, I could forget that I was almost defeated by someone. But behind the scenes, I sped up my time to practice. I was afraid that you would surpass me the next time I saw you. At that time, I would be embarrassed! But your martial arts ability is very strong, so you progressed quickly. It was very difficult for me to keep up with you. So in order to

avoid making a fool of myself and failing, I could only follow you. But I remembered your vigorous look throughout my whole childhood."

Hearing Zion's words, Evangeline was stunned.

How could this be?

"So you really liked me at first?"

The corners of Zion's mouth twitched as he said, "Who did you inherited your narcissistic characteristic from?"

"It's none of your business. Just tell me if you've cared about me since the beginning?"

Evangeline desperately wanted to know an answer.

Zion's ears were a little red, but he whispered, "I don't care about you."

"Nonsense! Your ears are all red! Zion, you're not being honest!"

Evangeline was curled up in the passenger seat, and she was smiling brightly.

"It turns out that you've cared about me for a long time, but you've been pretending. Who are you again?"

"Your man."

Evangeline didn't know what to say, but the smile on her face never faded.

She didn't know why she felt so happy all of a sudden.

It was such a pity that she had wasted most of her time chasing after Zion all these years.

If Zion had never taken her feelings seriously and agreed to be with her, her life would have been in vain.

Evangeline put her hands on her knees and looked forward. Suddenly, she said with emotion, "In the past 20 years, I seemed to have lived in vain except for pursuing you."

"Have you figured it out?"

"Yes."

Evangeline nodded.

"Zion, if it's possible, I want to learn martial arts again. I know that it might be a little difficult now because of my body condition, but it doesn't matter. I can open a martial arts school, and I can pass down what I'm good at. What do you think?"

"Okay."

Zion nodded with a smile.

In fact, he didn't care what Evangeline did, but he couldn't bear to see her full of affection for him.

He felt satisfied when he saw how she was acting, but it was unfair to her. And once something happened to him, he couldn't imagine if Evangeline could survive alone.

It had always been Zion's life philosophy to prevent problems before they happened.

While they were talking, Zion had driven the car to the suburbs.

The environment here was far away from the city, which made people feel extra relaxed.

"Are you taking me to the farm or somewhere else?"

"To the sanatorium."

"Ah?"

Evangeline was a little surprised.

Was it because her body hadn't recovered yet that he wanted to bring her here to recuperate?

But wasn't the sanatorium a little exaggerated?

Was this what he meant by both of them spending time together?

However, Evangeline didn't ask more. Instead, she looked at the scenery outside. The man she loved most was by her side. She was willing to live such a life forever.

The car drove into the mountain area, where there were guards.

Evangeline was stunned for a moment and looked at these guards carefully. They didn't seem to be soldiers of the Santell Capital but similar to soldiers of her country.

"Are these my dad's men?"

"Yes."

Zion didn't hide anything and said in a low voice, "When Uncle Sanchez left Ocean City, he left some people for my father because my father was in a bad situation at that time. The military kept an eye on my parents because of my uncle. In fact, Uncle Sanchez wanted to break out of jail at that time."

He had heard about these things from Nathaniel. Now that he had told it to Evangeline, he felt a little touched.

Evangeline was a little depressed.

A jailbreak was indeed something that her father would do.

"What happened later? Didn't my dad really break out of jail?"

"No, they were stopped by Uncle Noah. However, these people couldn't leave at that time. They could only spend money to buy a place in the suburbs to settle down, but they needed a name to stay here. At that time, Barney happened to need a laboratory. Uncle Noah said that this place was built into a sanatorium for Barney's research, so these people stayed here. Although this place is running a sanitorium by its name, there are not many people who come here. In addition to these guards, only Barney occasionally comes here once or twice. We can stay here for a while and wait for you to recover before going out."

Hearing Zion's words, Evangeline immediately relaxed.

"That's good. I don't think anyone will expect us to be here."

"Yes, I've erased the traces on the way here. I've also sent a message to Emberly, saying that I'll take you out for a walk and tell her not to worry." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Hearing Zion's words, Evangeline immediately laughed.

"My mom will probably be furious when she sees you! How dare you kidnap her daughter in front of her!"

Hearing Evangeline's laughter, Zion felt very happy.

How many years had it been since he had been so rebellious?

He didn't seem to remember anything.

Since he was a child, he had been in the military region while striving for his dreams. Now, he had gained some glory and a body full of scars, but he was more releaved.

When the car drove in, the guards put down the railing. When they saw that it was Zion and Evangeline, they quickly saluted and let them in.

Zion led Evangeline into the sanatorium.

Peach blossoms bloomed all over the mountains and fields, instantly attracting Evangeline's attention.

Was this a sanatorium?

Why did she feel like she was walking into the filming site of a TV series?

The peach blossoms all over the sky and fell with the wind. For a moment, Evangeline couldn't wait to prepare a bottle of wine and jump on the peach tree to drink freely.

"So beautiful!”

Evangeline couldn't help but praise the surroundings.

Seeing that she liked it so much, Zion's lips curled into a smile.

Before the car stopped, the sound of light footsteps came from inside, and a beautiful figure appeared in front of them.
