The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1005

"Who’s over there?"

Mango quickly ran over and saw a boy getting up from the ground. Apparently, he had fallen from the upper fence.

He was slightly embarrassed when he saw Mango, so his face blushed red.

"Aunt, I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't pay attention, so I fell on the ground."

The little boy was around eight years old, and he had a fair and adorable appearance. In fact, Mango would have thought the child standing before her was a little girl if he wasn't dressed in female clothes!

"Huh? Why are you on the fence of our house?"

"Well... my house is just next door."

The little boy explained.

Mango did not know who Brantley's neighbours were. However, they were all staying in the military compound, so the child had to belong to a family that served the army too.

However, she had taken a liking to this boy at first glance.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Bjorn Eaves."

Bjorn answered.

The surname Eaves' was rare in Ocean City. Hence, Mango didn't know which family the child belonged to, so she could only say, "I'll send you back from the main entrance."

"It's alright. That's not necessary."

Bjorn waved his hand hastily in reply.

Just then, they heard a young girl's voice calling Bjorn from the other side of the fence.

"Bjorn! Where did you go? Did you climb over the wall to find Rita again? I'm going to make a complaint to daddy if you don't come back at once! Hah! Then, I'll make him punish you to stand in military posture and stay in the military region. Then, he will never allow you to come back!"

The corners of Bjorn's mouth twitched when he heard her words.

"Alright, alright, I'll go now. Urgh! Your tattletale!"

He replied reluctantly.

Then, it was silent on the other end.

However, Mango had obtained some useful information from the conversation of both the siblings.

Huh?

Did this handsome boy come over here to look for Rita, her daughter?

What was going on here?

How did such a glutton like her daughter manage to find such a handsome boyfriend?

At this thought, Mango immediately began evaluating Bjorn as if he would be her future son-in-law.

Suddenly Bjorn became somewhat uneasy at her gaze.

"Aunty, I'll leave first then!"

He wanted to flee by climbing over the fence. However, Mango dragged him down by his collar.

"Hey! Leave through the front door! You shouldn't leave by climbing over the fence because that's not what a gentleman would do!"

"Okay, I promise not to do it again."

Bjorn lowered his head in guilt and seemed ill at ease like a child who had made a grave mistake.

Mango smiled in reply and said, "Did you not know that Rita's not home? She went outdoors to do some sketching."

Bjorn abruptly raised his head after hearing her reply.

"I have been in the military region all this while. So, I only managed to return home today because I got a holiday."

It turned out that he was in the same situation as her son, Zion.

It seemed that this child had a promising future too. After all, he could survive in the military region at such a young age.

Mango said with a smile, "Shall I get her to contact you when she comes back?"

"It's alright, I'll pay a visit to her when I've time."

A faint smile appeared on Bjorn's face, and the clear dimples on his face caught Mango's attention immediately.

Gosh! Which outstanding family did this child belong to?

He was way too adorable!

Mango was sure that he would be a ladies' man in the future.

However, she would never admit that he had caught her attention. Instead, her tone became even softer.

"Let me send you home then."

"Alright."

Bjorn didn't object to her offer at the moment.

There were no other people at noon after all. While Mango was about to take Bjorn out of the living room, Toby was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Eaves?"

"Huh? Do you know him?"

Mango glanced at Toby when she asked this.

Toby nodded and said, "He's the son of Captain Morgan."

Upon hearing about the 'Morgan' name, Mango seemed to remember something. Morgan was one of the four most influential people in Ocean City. Besides, he was also her husband, Nathaniel's best buddy. However, she seldom saw him.

When they first got married, Nathaniel was hectic all day long, and he did not know how he felt about Mango at all. Hence, he did not take her to the gatherings along with his buddies. Subsequently, she was forced to spend five years abroad because someone was harming her. By the time she returned, there were many problems that she had to solve. Therefore, she had never seen Nathanial hanging out with them.

Now, she had seen some of his friends. She met Noah the most often, followed by Eugene. However, she never expected to see Morgan's son here.

The most important thing was that Morgan's son was so handsome!!

Mango added secretly

When Bjorn saw Toby, he immediately saluted him respectfully.

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Toby!"

"Nice to meet you too!"

Toby returned his salute as well.

When Mango saw this, she started to look at Bjorn in a new light.

Toby was no ordinary person. After all, he had worked for Brantley for so many years, so a lot of people had to be respectful to him.

However, Toby was not only polite to Bjorn, but he also greeted him with the proper soldier etiquette. Thus, Mango could tell that Bjorn had a high ranking in the army.

Bjorn was merely a seven-year-old child, yet he was already this accomplished!

Mango thought about this carefully, but she did not show any expression on her face.

After sending Bjorn home, Mango begun to miss Zion even more.

After all, Zion was her son and one of her sweethearts!

While she was in deep thought, Mateo drove the military jeep over to pick her up.

"Mango, my dear niece!"
