The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1262

"Can I withhold the answer for the time being?"

Wisdom's tone was a little low. He sounded a little irritated if one listened to him carefully.

Wisdom had said in the ancestral temple that he was living under someone else's roof. He felt that Nathaniel's words were quite harsh.

Why did he say that at that time?

In the Ye family, no matter it was Mango, Rita, or even Nathaniel, all of them treated him as if he was their own family. How would he feel like he was living under someone else's roof?

However, he couldn't take his words back now that he had said it out loud.

Wisdom had also been frustrated and regretful to himself. He was even more irritated now that Nathaniel was pushing him.

When Nathaniel saw that Wisdom finally acted like a five-year-old child, he smiled and said, "Sure, you can tell me when we come back from your father's grave."

"Can't we wait for a few years?"

Wisdom felt that it was too rushed.

Nathaniel was forcing him to make a decision!

"That's impossible!"

Nathaniel answered curtly.

Wisdom was suddenly a little crestfallen.

The two of them jogged again, but this time, neither of them spoke.

When they returned to the residence, Mango and Rita were already awake.

Rita curled up in Mango's arms and grinned sweetly. She had said something funny that made Mango laugh over and over again.

Nathaniel's steel heart softened when he saw such a scene.

"What are you chatting about? You seem so happy."

Nathaniel caressed Rita's head gently.

Rita jumped out of Mango's lap and said with a smile, "It's a secret between mom and me. I'm not going to tell you anything. Wow, Wisdom, you're actually out jogging with dad! How is it? Is the air good here?"

"Well, the air is pretty fresh here."

Wisdom was always gentle when speaking to Rita.

"Wisdom, mom just said that she would go to uncle's tomb for prayers. Are you feeling sad today? If you are, I can lend you my shoulder to cry on. My shoulder is available even though it's small."

Wisdom's mood suddenly lifted a lot when he heard Rita's words.

"Alright."

"I'll hold you to your word. We'll make a pinky swear."

Rita stretched her little finger out towards him.

The two children locked their little fingers together and formed a pact. Mango was touched by their solemn attitude.

"We were once children too, but I felt as if I had travelled back in time when I saw them."

As Mango spoke of this, she remembered her parents in the Shen family. Soon after, she immediately shook her head and whispered, "Let's have breakfast. I'm starving."

"Alright, you guys go ahead. I'll take a shower with Wisdom. I'm sweaty now and it's pretty uncomfortable."

"Okay-dokey."

Mango nodded in reply.

Nathaniel went for a shower with Wisdom.

Rita shook her braids and said lazily, "Mom, | heard that one of the roads here has plenty of stalls selling delicious street food. Why don't we go out and explore when we're free?" "Okay."

Mango readily agreed, so Rita was dumbfounded instead.

"Mom, are you sure? Didn't you and dad come here for some other business?"

"Well, those matters are secondary. Our main aim is to bring you two around to have fun. Tell me and dad where you want to go. I'll grant your wish as long as I'm able to."

Rita was instantly overjoyed when she heard Mango's words.

"Really? That would be great. I wish I can have some street food from this road right now."

"That's not a problem at all."

Mango let out a smile.

She had always known that her daughter was a foodie, so she was not surprised at all by her request.

"Oh yeah! My mom is the best!"

Rita sprang on her feet, causing Mango to worry about her.

"Slow down. Don't you know the state of your health? Look at you, what if you hurt your head?"

To Mango, Rita was still the same old Rita. Even though the surgery was successful, she was still concerned about the latter's physical condition.

However, Rita said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Bjorn taught me a lot of movements that can help strengthen my body. Mom, please don't treat me like a patient anymore."

Mango smiled and said softly, "You'll always be my sweetie pie. How can I ever stand you getting hurt?"

"Hehe, my mom is the best."

Rita was brown-nosing Mango.

Mango asked with a smile, "I've noticed that you and Bjorn get along pretty well. What's up? Do you like him very much?"

"Well, yes. I think I do like him."

Rita tilted her head and thought for a moment before replying, "There are a lot of things that I can learn from Bjorn. Wisdom is too boring. Although he is also a genius, his expertise is different from that of Bjorn's. Mom, I'm able to learn a lot when I'm with Bjorn."

"Is that all?"

"What else?"

Rita looked at Mango with her clear, innocent eyes. She didn't understand what the latter meant by that.

Mango suddenly realized that her daughter was only five years old. Furthermore, she was a foodie. How could she possibly think of anything other than eating, not to mention romance?

Mango felt that she was reading too much into this.

"It's okay. I'm just asking for the sake of it."
