Thinking of this, Mango wanted to hang up the phone, but Rainie finally picked up.
"Mango? What can I do for you?"
Rainie was panting.
Mango suddenly felt a little envious of Rainie's vitality. It seemed that Mango had not been sweating like her for a long time.
"What are you doing? It sounds like you are exercising."
Mango asked with a faint smile.
Rainie laughed, "Yes, I'm practicing dancing. Ares said that my body posture wasn't very good and he gave me training recently. How have you been lately? I was as busy as a bee, and I didn't even have time to call you."
Mango felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well, I'm a little busy too."
"Aw, don't be angry. I'll treat you to dinner in a few days. It's almost the new year so maybe Thomas and I will go to your house. You know, we don't have any relatives anymore and that we only have the two of you. Shall we celebrate together?"
Rainie was still laughing and Mango knew that she liked her life very much, and she was energetic from her tone.
Mango smiled, "Sure, but we have to move to my grandpa's house for the new year. Everyone is there so come along too. It'll be much more lively."
"Well, just don't think that I'm annoying. Hmm... I'll talk to you later. The teacher is telling me to hang up. Bye!"
Mango listened to the beep from the other end of the phone and could not help but feel empty and lost.
She also wanted to be a strong and independent woman!
Mango secretly swore. Then, she saw Nathaniel walking out of Noah's room.
"How is it?"
She asked quickly.
Nathaniel and Noah both said, "Nothing. We have inquired about Wisdom's medical skills and we decided that he can help Zion."
"That's good."
Mango finally felt relieved.
While the three adults were talking to each other, Zion and Barney walked out.
Barney was obviously reluctant to part with Zion but Zion comforted her gently like a young man.
Mango felt that Zion had never been this gentle to her before.
Alas! Why did she suddenly have the illusion that her son would be taken away by someone else?
Nathaniel saw that Mango was a little disappointed so he quickly held her hand and said, "You have me."
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for Mango to hear it clearly.
Mango was immediately comforted and no longer felt disappointed.
After Zion bid farewell to Barney, Mango and Nathaniel brought him home.
Wisdom also took Rita back.
For a while, the Ye family had become lively.
"Bro, can you do me a favor?"
When Rita saw Zion, she immediately rushed forward and asked him to do her a favor.
Mango recalled Zion's current situation and said to Rita, "Rita, Zion is a little tired. Can you let him go back to his room and rest for a while?"
"Huh? Zion, are you sick? Why do you look so terrible?"
Only then did Rita notice that Zion did not look well.
Zion smiled, "It's alright, I'm just a little tired."
"Then you go to sleep first. I'll come to you when you wake up."
Rita pushed Zion to his room to rest.
Zion could not refuse his sister's kindness, so he went to the bedroom and rested.
Then, Nathaniel called Wisdom to the study room.
After Rita came out, she saw that Wisdom was also gone. She quickly asked, "Mommy, where is Wisdom?"
"Your daddy has something to discuss with him. Come, tell me. Are you having a good time at Uncle Sanchez's house?"
"No, I'm not."
Feeling a little depressed, Rita sat on the sofa and muttered, "Evangeline is violent. I don't like her."
"Why don't you like her? I think that Evangeline is very straightforward and cute."
Mango sat beside her daughter.
She already neglected Zion, so she could not make the same mistake with Rita.
Rita pouted more when she heard Mango praising Evangeline.
"I just don't like her!"
When Mango saw her daughter's awkward expression, she could not help but smile, "Let me guess. Is it because Evangeline's self- defense skills are better than yours, so you don't like her? You dislike her so much because you can't defeat her, right?"
"Mom! How can you say that about me?"
Rita was triggered and she became dispirited.
Mango stroked Rita's head and said, "Baby, there's nothing you can do about it. There's no need for you to compare with others. Besides, there are so many outstanding people in this world. You just need to be yourself and be calm. Don't be jealous and don't let it make you an ugly person. My little princess is the most beautiful girl in my eyes."
"Really? Do you think that I'm the most beautiful princess?"
Rita tilted her head as she looked at Mango and asked.
"Of course! You are my baby and my forever sweetheart."
Mango's words obviously pleased Rita.
She lowered her head in embarrassment. Then, she said in a soft voice, "Sorry mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't be jealous of Evangeline. She's really good. Clarissa is also very good. She knows computer skills like Zion. I really want to know who is better! Is it her or my brother?"
"Rita, didn't I just tell you? Don't ever compare. Just be yourself. Besides, you're so cute and well-behaved. This is also your strength, isn't it? "
"That's right, I'm also good at eating! Super good at eating! Even Evangeline and Clarissa can't beat me!"
