"There's a musician here?"
Mango couldn't help but ask.
The person who was playing it was obviously talented, and Mango could tell that he had been practising for many years.
When the butler heard Mango's question, he quickly replied, "Yes, there's a young boy. He seems to be the son of the famous musical family of Colliqer County. I heard that he's been practising here recently, so I guess we will be hearing piano and violin sounds every day."
"Ah... no wonder."
Mango nodded, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Rita was eating her breakfast, but she chipped in from the side, "Mommy, I feel that the violin sounds great! Why don't you sign me up for a class? I want to learn how to play the violin."
Mango was slightly stunned as this was the first time Rita had asked permission to learn a skill. However, she didn't agree immediately. Instead, she said in a soft voice, "Rita, if you want to learn the violin, you have to get up early and practice for at least half an hour every day. Not only that, it will be difficult in the beginning. Are you sure you can
do this?"
Rita was stunned to hear this, and then she frowned.
"Urgh! Do I have to practice every day? What if I want to sleep in?"
"No, you have to wake up earlier if you're want to learn to play the violin."
Rita's expression changed when she heard what Mango said. After thinking for a while, she said, "Forget it, I don't want to learn anymore. I'll just find a husband who can play the violin. Then, I'll get him to play it for me every day."
Mango almost choked on herself when she heard Rita's words.
What was her daughter thinking?!
However, these talents classes were compulsory for a wealthy family, so she would definitely let Rita learn all of them in the future. Well, she just didn't want Rita to suffer this early.
When Mango was thinking of this, she stared at her daughter lovingly. Then, she did not say anything else after that.
By the time Nathaniel returned with his sons, Mango and Rita had already finished their breakfast. Rita was lying lazily on the sofa as she was feeling a little sleepy. On the other hand, Mango was preparing the things that they needed on the trip.
Meanwhile, no one knew when did the music outside stop.
However, Nathaniel did not pay much attention to the music. Instead, all he noticed was Mango, who just woke up not long ago. He saw that she looked a little shy, so she looked more attractive than usual.
Mango's face couldn't help but turn red when she felt Nathaniel's gaze on her. In fact, she got even more embarrassed when she felt the pheromones he was emitting.
Well, Zion clearly noticed this and coughed from the side. Then, he dragged Wisdom back to his room to take a bath instantly.
Urgh! Why were their parents showing off their relationship again? Well, at least they had the right to choose not to look, right?
Rita was a little slow. Before she could sense anything, Zion had already dragged her away.
When only Mango and Nathaniel were left alone in the living room, Mango wanted to escape, but Nathaniel pulled her back.
"Where are you going? I haven't had breakfast yet."
These words sounded normal, but when Mango felt his breath on her face, she couldn't stop herself from blushing.
"Then I'll go get you some rice."
After saying that, Mango wanted to escape from him, but she found that Nathaniel's hands were wrapped around her so tightly that she couldn't escape.
"Hey! Just... let me go."
Mango said as she was a little shy.
Hence, Nathaniel really wanted to devour her right then and there. However, he knew that Mango's body wouldn't be able to take it if they had sex too often.
"Haha! Look at you, you're so nervous. Do you think I'll really do that now?"
Nathaniel chuckled lightly before letting go of Mango.
Then, she ran away immediately after he let go of her.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt somehow empty after his wife left his embrace.
Mango ran all the way to the kitchen, and she could feel her face burning. They had been married for so long, but she felt as if they were a newlywed couple that was madly in love with each other. Urgh! What was happening to her now?
Her heart was beating extremely fast at that moment.
After calming herself down, she went to prepare breakfast for Nathaniel. Then, she also called the children out for breakfast.
Zion and Wisdom had taken a shower and had already changed their clothes. Meanwhile, Rita had changed into a pretty dress, and she even packed herself some snacks.
After everything was prepared, they all got on the car.
Since it was the first time the whole family was going on a trip, Rita and Zion were very excited.
Thus, Mango couldn't help but smile when she saw that her children were happy.
When they reached their destination, they found out that Nathaniel had brought them to the foot of a mountain.
Rita immediately started to wail when she saw this.
"Boohoo! Papa, are we really going to hike?"
"Wow! You're a brilliant child indeed. Look, you have to exercise because you're too weak. Besides, we're getting some fresh air, which is good for your health too. Come on, let's have some fun while hiking with your brothers, alright?"
Rita looked crestfallen when she heard what Nathaniel had said.
"I don't want to do this! Can I say no? Or I can sit in the car and wait for you guys."
Nathaniel gave Zion and Wisdom a look. At that instant, the two brothers carried Rita and head towards the mountain without waiting for her to react.
"I don't want to go hiking! Mama, help me!"
Rita cried loudly, but Mango was trying her best not to laugh out loud.
"Naha! You know how to deal with her indeed."
Mango looked captivating as ever when she glanced at Nathaniel.
