The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1269

Mango had obviously noticed this problem as well.

"Nathan, they might get themselves into danger if they get off the car, should we..."

"Don't worry! Have you forgotten that both Rita and Zion are allergic to mango?"

Mango froze for a while upon hearing Nathaniel's words.

Just now, she had been so focused on her children's safety that she didn't even notice what fruit was being sold. Now that Nathaniel had reminded her, she looked at Nathaniel in surprise and asked, "Are you saying that Rita did this on purpose?"

"This little rascal is pretty street-smart. Let's wait and see. I'll get someone to stand guard at the surroundings."

Nathaniel smiled calmly with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Mango, on the other hand, was a little terrified.

"Isn't this child is too bold? Nathaniel, don't spoil her. Look, she still charges forward even though she knows there is danger ahead. If we're not

around..."

"You're overthinking. Rita won't do that if we're not around. It's okay, just calm down."

Nathaniel caressed her head as if he was petting his pet, leaving Mango speechless to retort.

A question occurred to Wisdom after he got out of the car.

"Rita, aren't you and Zion allergic to mango? Why are you..."

"I'm buying it for mom. Doesn't mom love fruits? The fruits here are so delicious. All of them are ripe. They are more delicious than those half-ripe fruits we bought in Ocean City, right? Mom doesn't really eat mango anymore because we are allergic to it."

Wisdom felt a little embarrassed when he heard her words.

He really didn't notice that Mango hadn't had any mangoes for a very long time.

Rita was indeed observant.

"Then I'll choose the fruits, lest you get allergic again later."

Wisdom volunteered himself.

"Hah! Sounds great."

Rita did not refuse his suggestion.

The duo went to the vendor. The latter was slightly stunned by his handsome appearance. Then he greeted them with a smile, "Kid, do you want to have some fruits? Where are your parents?"

"Can't you see that our parents are in the car right behind us? It's just some fruits. Do they need to get off the car to buy fruits? Man, are you looking down on us kids?"

Rita blinked her enormous eyes and spoke in a sweet voice, which felt comfortable to the ears. Even if she had said this, others couldn't be angry at her.

"How could that be? So what do you want to buy?"

"Mangos, the big ones. I want three of them. Is this the honey mango?"

Rita pointed at the mango and asked in a serious tone.

The vendor was slightly taken aback. Then he said with a smile, "This is not the honey mango, instead, it's a Francis mango. But it's also very tasty. Here, you can have a try. I can give it to you for free if you don't like it."

The other party was about to peel the mango as he spoke, but Wisdom stopped him there.

"Don't peel the fruit. My sister is allergic to mango."

The vendor was stunned again.

Why were they here for mangos if she was allergic to mangos?

He took a look at Rita thoughtfully.

However, Rita smiled and said, "Mister, you don't have to let me try it. I believe you. Wrap it up for me, please. Mommy will definitely like it. Bro, I didn't bring my wallet with me. Have you brought yours?"

"It's in the car. You can go back and get it. I'll wait for you here."

Wisdom did not dare to leave Rita alone here, so he could only ask her to go to the car to retrieve the purse.

Rita nodded as she strode towards the car door.

The bodyguards had gotten out of the car and surrounded the vendor and Wisdom. Even if the vendor wanted to do something, he wouldn't dare to do it because it was bad timing.

Later, Rita walked towards them with her purse calmly.

"Mister, how much is it?"

"Just pay me five dollars."

"So cheap? Bro, look, as I said, the fruits here are cheap."

Rita was beaming as if she had received some great deals. Wisdom couldn't help but laugh out

loud.

"Yes, yes. Of course, you're right."

"Then brother, pick a few dragon fruits for me. I feel like having some."

She licked her lips as she spoke. Everyone laughed at her ravenous look.

"Mister, here, it's the money for the mangos."

Rita took five dollars out of her purse and handed it to the vendor. When Wisdom lowered his head to pick the dragon fruit, Nathaniel and Mango narrowed their eyes.

The two children quickly picked a few dragon fruits. Then, they ran over to Nathaniel and Mango joyfully.

"Mom, I've bought you some delicious mangos. Have a try."

Rita did not dare to bring the mangos to her. It was Wisdom who handed it over.

"Such nice children you are. Thank you, Rita."

Mango was deeply moved.

A daughter was indeed the closest person to her mother.

At this moment, Nathaniel said with a vague smile, "Give me the paper you're holding."

"Huh?"

Rita's facial expression changed abruptly.
