The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1006

"I'm sorry. I'll fix the errors right away!"

Mango could hear the voice of a little girl coming from the other end of the call. The girl sounded upset, but she was trying hard to control her emotions.

However, Zion remained unfazed and hung up the video call with a cold expression. Then, when he saw Mango standing behind him when he turned back, the cold look on his face immediately disappeared.

"Mommy!"

He nimbly jumped off the chair and quickly ran to stand in front of Mango. Then, he brought his feet together and gave Mango a military salute in a serious manner.

"Mother, I'm here!"

A smile appeared on his lips, and he resembled Nathaniel so much right now.

Mango felt warm in her heart when she saw his actions.

"You brat! You really look like your dad now..."

Mango exclaimed with a teary expression.

Then, Zion hurriedly poured a glass of water for

Mango.

"Why are you here, Mommy? I didn't expect you to visit me."

"Come on! Can't I visit my own son whenever I want?"

Mango took the cup that Zion handed to her while lamenting secretly.

"Were you the one who sent those roses to me?

"Yeah, but Mr. Ye paid for them, though."

After Zion said this, he jumped on a chair and sat down while shaking his legs. Meanwhile, Mango couldn't help but adore his smiling face when she saw this.

"I like the bouquet a lot. Thank you."

"Of course you would! I have good taste, right?"

Zion noticed that Mango was thinner, so he began to blame Nathaniel for not taking good care of her. He said subconsciously, "Mommy, don't be so hard on yourself. You still have both me and Mr. Ye. So, you and Rita should just enjoy your lives and rest at home. After all, we make enough money to feed both of you."

When Mango heard this, she was stunned for a moment before she said with a smile, "Haha! Are you telling me to take advantage of both of your 711

"Well, I think that it's perfectly reasonable for a woman to spend her man's hard-earned money. What's wrong with that?"

Mango was amused when she saw how determined Zion looked when he said this.

"Hey! Where did you learn these things from? You're just a child, so you should watch your mouth. Oh, by the way, who were you scolding just now? Poor girl! She was about to burst into tears because you were scolding her so harshly!"

"Heh. She should leave the army if she can't take it then."

Zion replied ruthlessly.

Mango frowned in reply and said, "Zion, you can't treat a girl this way."

"Mommy, the army doesn't treat men or women differently, so you shouldn't dwell too much on it. Anyway, what is Mr. Ye doing? Why would he ask me to deliver flowers to you? on his behalf? Shouldn't he send you the flowers personally to express his sincerity instead? Urgh! He really doesn't know how to treat a woman right. In fact, sometimes I wonder how he managed to win over your heart last time!"

Zion complained.

Mango let out a cough when she heard his words.

Well, Nathaniel had never needed to work hard to win over a girl's heart!

After all, a lot of women were smitten with his even though he had done nothing. If he had known how to woo over a woman, she would never stand a chance to be with him!

However, it was not necessary to tell Zion about these.

"Hmm...can you bring me around your base?"

Now that she was already here, Mango thought that this was a perfect opportunity to see how a military compound operated. After all, this could be the last time that she could enter the army.

However, Zion shook his head and said, "Mommy, our base is the core department of the military district. So, I can't bring you around. I'm sorry..."

"Haha! Why do you need to apologize to me? I was just asking about it casually."

"Oh, but you can visit my dormitory, though."

Zion was afraid that Mango would be disappointed, so he quickly suggested this instead.

"Really? Can I dothat?"

"Of course!"

After finishing his words, Zion took Mango's hand and dragged her to his dorm.

The dormitory was spotless, and it had four beds

in it. The quilts on the bed were folded neatly in square shape as well.

"Which bed is yours?"

"The one at the bottom."

Zion pointed at his own bed when he answered Mango.

Mango glanced at it and found that it was arranged neatly too.

"Did you fold the quilt yourself?"

"Of course I did! It's mandatory to do that here!"

Zion was particularly proud of himself when he saw this.

Mango immediately felt gratified when she saw how dignified he looked.

"Wow... I guess you're all grown up now."

"Mommy, let me wash some fruit for you."

Zion began to busy himself.

Mango wanted to stop him, but Zion had run out of the room.

Perhaps she was biased towards Zion, but she thought that he was really an expert in housekeeping.

Then, she heaved a sigh of relief when she looked at the surroundings of the room.

It seemed that Zion was doing well in the army

after all.

Zion returned with a washed apple not long after.

Suddenly, Mango remembered that she had left everything she brought for Zion in Mateo's car.

"Oh, God! I've brought you some stuff, but I left them in Mateo's car!"

"It's okay, Mommy. I'll go down and get it later."

Zion gave the apple to Mango when she said this.

Mango wanted to hug Zion, but he dodged her embrace instead.

"What's wrong?"

Mango felt upset when she saw this.

Then, Zion said in embarrassment, "Mommy, urn... I'm a soldier, and we're in the military compound! What will other people think when they see you hugging me! After all, I'm still a team leader here!"

"Wow, my son is now a team leader, huh?"

Mango teased him in reply, but she didn't force him either.

"Well, I'm relieved to see that you're having a good time here. By the way, your great-grandpa asked me to give you some advice."
