The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 492

"What's wrong? Does it hurt?"

Mango walked over quickly.

However, Zion stood behind Mango and he gestured Wisdom the victory sign.

Wisdom waited for Mango to walk over before he opened his eyes.

"Mommy."

"Does it hurt?"

Mango's heart ached for him.

Wisdom shook his head and he said, "I'm much better now. Thank you, Mommy."

Wisdom suddenly felt a little sad at the thought of leaving his loving mother to run away with Zion.

"Mommy, can you hug me?"

Wisdom's request surprised Mango.

He must be in a lot of pain right now.

"Of course!"

Mango embraced Wisdom without hesitation.

Wisdom's body was thinner than before, but it was also stronger.

He hugged Mango before muttering, "Mommy, you're the best mother in the world! If only you were my real mom."

Mango was saddened by those words.

"I am your Mommy! No matter how old you get, or where you go, I will always be your mother for the rest of your life."

"Thank you, Mommy."

Wisdom was so moved that he wanted to cry.

Wisdom looked at Zion and he noted the latter's neutral expression before letting go of Mango, "Let me wash my face."

"Okay, go ahead. Come down with Zion later for dinner."

When Mango saw that Wisdom's mood had improved, a hint of a smile appeared on her face as well.

"I'll go with you!"

Right now, Zion and Wisdom were almost like conjoined twins.

Thus, Mango felt rather comforted when she saw this.

She tidied up the room and left after seeing the two children had gone to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Nick had been released but his interactions with Nathaniel were frosty at best.

Madam Ye couldn't help but sigh, "Stop it, both of you. Can't you just sit and have a nice dinner with me? Or is that too hard?"

"Of course not, Mom. What are you saying?"

Nathaniel replied at once.

Although Nick didn't speak, his expression had softened considerably.

It didn't take long for Mango to arrive.

Rita sat beside Madam Ye and she whispered, "Grandma, there's a ton of delicious food today! Can I have extra?"

"No, you can't."

Madam Ye's words wiped Rita's smile off her face.

"Why not?"

"Because it's bad for your digestion if you eat too much at dinner."

"What if I take a walk with Zion after dinner?"

For the sake of food, Rita would do anything.

Nathaniel and Mango couldn't help but laugh.

Their daughter was such a glutton, and who knew who she'd got it from? Did they starve her for the last four years?

Meanwhile, Madam Ye's expression also became much more relaxed.

"You can ask your brother later. If he wants to go out with you, then I have no comment."

"Yay!"

Rita quickly perked up again.

When Wisdom and Zion came to the dining room, they looked at the remaining seats.

Wisdom still had to sit by Nick while Zion sat next to Mango.

Zion wasn't sure if he was hallucinating, but Wisdom seemed nervous around Nick.

Thus, he secretly felt that it was a wise choice to leave with Wisdom.

"Well, everyone is here. Let's have dinner!"

As soon as Madam Ye gave the order, everyone started to eat.

Rita was a glutton for meat. She immediately went for the vinegar beef slices and glazed pork ribs.

Meanwhile, Mango was afraid that his daughter had eaten too much and she muttered, "Rita, have some vegetables."

"No. I had vegetables in the afternoon today at kindergarten, and I want meat for dinner. Plus, if Zion goes out for a walk with me, I'll be fine."

Rita's words shocked Zion.

"Go for a walk with you?"

"Yeah, Zion! You're the best!"

Rita revealed a stunning smile.

Zion smiled and he said, "Did you even ask me? I don't remember agreeing to that."

"Won't you? If not, I'll ask Wisdom to keep me company."

As soon as Rita finished speaking, Nick cut in.

"Wisdom has to study after dinner."

Wisdom's hand paused as he reached out for the food, but he remained silent out of habit.

Madam Ye replied angrily, "Why would he be studying? Wisdom won't be doing anything today! Also, he has wounds on his body, so he'll be going with Rita and Zion for a walk."

Nick paused for a moment at Madam Ye's words, but he did not refute.

Wisdom breathed a sigh of relief as he did not need to study today.

The rest of the meal passed without event.

After Nick finished eating, he headed for the study immediately, citing work as a reason.

Nathaniel frowned lightly as he saw this.

"I have to speak to him."

"Maybe another day. You just fought, and he won't listen to whatever you have to say now.

Just find another time to chat."

Mango stopped Nathaniel.

Madam Ye also said, "That's right, we don't have to worry about him today."

"All right."

Nevertheless, the frown remained on Nathaniel's face.

Meanwhile, Rita had obviously overeaten and she lied unmoving on the sofa while clutching at her bloated belly in pain.

Zion couldn't help but say, "You deserve it for being such a glutton."

"But it was so good!"

Rita retorted with a pout.

On the other hand, Wisdom had lost his usual bubbly nature as he sat next to Madam Ye.

Mango couldn't help but feel sorry for him when she saw him like this.

"Wisdom, have an orange."

She peeled a plump orange for him.

"Thank you, Mommy."

Wisdom took it, but he didn't gobble it up like he used to. Instead, he ate it warily.

However, no one felt happy when they saw Wisdom acting like this.

Nathaniel frowned when he could no longer see the once lively kid again.

"Wisdom, don't worry. I'll talk to your father to have you stay at home and go to kindergarten with Zion. You're young, and there are some things you don't need to learn yet."

Wisdom nodded his head when he heard Nathaniel speak, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

Madam Ye sighed and she said, "Look at what he did to a perfectly good child! What the hell was Nick thinking?"

"It's okay, Grandma. Wisdom and I will be taking Rita out for a walk. If not, I think she'll be on the couch for the rest of the night."

Zion hurriedly cut in.

It was only now that everyone saw Rita's pained expression.

"Who told you to eat so much?"

Mango quickly fed Rita some antacid tablets.

After Rita swallowed them, she clutched at her stomach while saying, "Mommy, I won't eat this much ever again."

"I've heard that way too many times."

Mango would never believe Rita's promises.

That girl would always lose her mind in front of food.

Then, Zion and Wisdom pulled Rita up to go for a walk.

"Grandma, we're heading out."

Madam Ye smiled in reply and she said, "Take care of yourselves, okay? Don't go too far."

"Got it!"

Then, the three of them left the Ye's Mansion.

Zion began scoping out the terrain immediately after he'd left the house, and Wisdom followed suit.

Only Rita, the silly girl had no idea what was going on and she rubbed her tummy before saying, "Zion, we're using this path today?"

"Yep, that's right."

Zion looked around, and he noticed the few cameras nearby. Then, he memorized their positions and their lines of sight.

As for Wisdom, he was busy searching for an exit suitable for two young boys to escape.

Rita walked alone for a while before she realized that the footsteps behind her went quiet.

Rita froze in her tracks before she realized that Zion and Wisdom were whispering to each other.

"What are you murmuring? Can I know?"

Rita hurriedly ran over.

Zion covered his mouth and he whispered, "We're talking about guy stuff. Go away."

"I wanna know too!"

Rita shook Zion's arm.

Zion replied helplessly, "Fine, we were discussing whether or not you'd find a man if you made yourself fat from eating."

"Of course, I would! I'm so cute and pretty, so I'll find a man just as handsome as Daddy."

"Ugh!"

Zion and Wisdom immediately pretended to throw up.

Rita became unhappy right away.

"What do you mean? I'm going to hit you two!"

"Come on then!"

Zion started running, followed closely by Wisdom.

Rita angrily stomped her feet, and she chased after them immediately.

"You two, stop right there!"

"Catch us if you can!"

Perhaps it was because they wanted to leave, so Zion and Wisdom doted on Rita as much as possible.

Both of them didn't know when they'd return after leaving this time.

Although Zion ran up ahead, he still kept an eye on Rita.

Rita was exhausted after a little while, and she squatted on the ground angrily.

"Both of you are bullying me!"

Rita was starting to throw a tantrum.

Zion and Wisdom exchanged looks and they laughed before running back to her.

"Don't be like that. How could you make a scene when you failed to catch us?"

Zion extended his hand in an attempt to pull Rita up.

However, Rita grabbed hold of Zion and she said excitedly, "Tag, you're it! Let's see where you're going now! Ha, even you can be tricked sometimes, Zion."

Rita crowed proudly.

Hence, Zion let her win.

"Of course, Rita's the smartest."

"That's right! Zion, I want some ice cream."

Rita took the opportunity to extort Zion.

He was at a loss for words, "You're already so full, yet you're still eating?"

"I don't care. Are you going to buy it for me or not?"

"Okay, fine! I'll buy it, all right?"

Zion had no idea what to do with Rita, so they all went to the supermarket to get some ice cream.

Rita wanted two of them, and Zion had to agree. However, no one expected Rita to hand over one of the ice creams to Wisdom before saying, "Hey, Wisdom! This is for you."

"Hey, Rita! I'm your real brother here! Plus I bought them! Yet, you're giving them to Wisdom instead of me? Are you out of your mind?"

Zion suddenly felt a little hurt.

On the other hand, Rita smiled and said, "I want to give it to Wisdom, so what?"

As Rita spoke, she shook her head before laughing slyly. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Warmth bloomed in Wisdom's chest.

He wanted to say something, but Wisdom then saw Nick drove out of the Ye's Mansion.

On the other hand, Nick did not pay any heed to the three children in the supermarket. But where was he going at this hour?
