Nathaniel was about to walk over when he heard Rita muttering, "Mommy, hug me."
Mango was in a deep sleep but she subconsciously hugged Rita in her arms and continued to sleep.
Nathaniel sighed when he saw this. Then, he resigned to his fate and went back to his bedroom but it was hard for him to sleep alone.
For the first time, he felt like the bed was too big and it made him feel empty and lonely.
On the other hand, Mango was hugging Rita and they were sleeping sweetly. However, she woke up in the middle of the night due to the cold and she saw that their blanket had been rolled under Rita's body. She wasn't covered and looked very pitiful.
She shook her head helplessly and thought that her husband was better.
Mango felt a little thirsty and quietly got up to drink some water, only to find that Zion's room was lit.
She paused for a moment.
When she thought of Zion's situation, Mango could not help but feel anxious.
She walked over quickly. Before she could get close to the door, she was dragged over by a strong arm and her mouth was covered.
Mango was so shocked that she almost screamed.
When she saw it was Nathaniel, she was relieved.
"What are you doing?"
"Shh!"
Nathaniel gestured her not to make a sound.
Mango leaned against the door and saw Zion sitting on a chair. He took the bracelet off his wrist and turned it on. Under the light, it reflected the screen and the keyboard.
"This is..."
"I'll explain it to you later."
Nathaniel said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Mango held her breath as she watched.
After Zion turned on the bracelet, he began hacking the porn website and sent some clips to Nathaniel's computer.
He curved his lips slightly, and his naughty smile looked shocking.
If it was Zion, he would not have behave like this. However, Mango felt very sad now that Zion was
like this.
Wisdom came over from behind and asked in a deep voice, "What did you send?"
Zion kept his head down and said, "You won't understand, brat. Hurry up and go to sleep."
His tone and manner were exactly the same as a grown up.
Wisdom asked in confusion, "But I want to know. You seem to have a great time."
"Of course. How could I like these things? I only sent them to Mr. Ye."
Zion continued to send the clips as he spoke.
Wisdom directly brought a stool and sat next to him and continued to ask, "Why do you send it to Mr. Ye only? Why not others?"
Zion paused.
"Yeah, why don't I send it to someone else? But who?"
Zion rested his chin on his palm and he looked troubled.
Nathaniel was depressed.
Zion seemed to not know who else to send it to.
At this time, Wisdom said, "Do you like Mr. Ye very much? Otherwise, why did you send it to him?"
"Like?"
Zion paused for a second, then nodded and said, "Yes, I like him very much. He's very strong, and everyone was talking about what he had done when I was in the military region. I'm happy but angry at the same time when I hear people discussing him every day."
"Why is that?"
"I'm happy because he's my daddy, and I'm proud of him. I'm unhappy because I'm afraid I can't surpass him. To be honest, I'm quite stressed out."
Zion nodded as he spoke and looked upset.
Nathaniel never thought that he would put so much pressure on his son indirectly. This had made him feel guilty and even questioned himself if it was right to send Zion to the military region.
Mango seemed to know what he was thinking and held his hand tightly. This gave him some comfort.
Zion waved his hand and said, "Nah! Don't think about it now. The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. I better continue to send this to Mr. Ye."
"Why do you insist on sending this to Mr. Ye?"
Wisdom could only follow his lead and continued to ask.
He had asked this question three times, but Zion did not answer. It was obvious that Zion's alter was very smart and cunning. He did not want to face this question directly.
Wisdom became serious.
Zion suddenly turned around and asked Wisdom, "Why do you want to know?"
"It's because I'm curious. What else?"
Wisdom smiled slightly. His smile was so warm that it made people feel very comfortable.
