The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1270

"Hi, dad!"

When Zion spoke on the phone, Rita and Wisdom both missed him so much.

"Oh dear Zion, how are you? Are your injuries getting better?"

Rita ran to the car where Nathaniel was and grabbed his mobile phone as she asked.

When Zion saw her exuberant appearance, he couldn't help but smile and say, "I'm much better now. Mommy called Aunt Xiao over to help me treat my wounds. She guaranteed that there won't be any scars. Aunt Xiao said that she had conducted a minimally invasive surgery for me. Don't worry, no one will be able to tell that I've been wounded after I recover."

Rita was finally relieved after hearing this.

"Zion, I miss you so much."

She pursed her lips together and couldn't help but say this when she saw Zion's slim face.

Zion was a little surprised by his sister's sudden sadness, but the corners of his lips still curved upward a little. He smiled while saying, "I miss you too. You don't even want to stay with me, instead, you leave me alone here. You are too heartless." "That's not it. I have to come out because I have matters to attend to."

Rita felt really wronged.

Zion smiled in an instant.

"Oh well... you have no choice but to do so. I don't blame you for it. Is it fun over there?"

"It's fun, mainly because there's a lot of delicacies here. I just bought three mangos for mom, which cost me only five dollars! Isn't it cheap? Also, I bought quite a few dragon fruits, which are also very cheap. Zion, just wait for me, I'll bring you some good food."

Zion smiled happily upon hearing her words.

"Sure, I'll be waiting."

"Eh? Zion, was Evangeline at your place too? I think I saw her there."

Zion's face darkened instantly when he heard Rita's words.

"This is what I'm calling to say. Dad, Mom, can you call Uncle Sanchez and ask Evangeline to leave? She is really bothering me. It affects my rest!"

Zion rarely asked Mango and Nathaniel in such a serious manner. At this moment, his tiny face was still filled with disgust and anger, which caused Mango to be a little surprised.

"What's wrong with Evangeline? Did you quarrel with her?"

"Mom, do you think I can pacify her by arguing with her? I've never seen such a shameless girl. Besides, is she really a girl? She is more manner than boys, you know?"

Zion had so much creases on his face as he furrowed his brows.

Nathaniel whispered, "Uncle Sanchez has something to deal with recently. It is not safe for Evangeline to stay at home. Furthermore, Aunt Xiao went there to treat your wound and nurse your health. Evangeline is her daughter after all. You can't ask Aunt Xiao to neglect her daughter for your sake, can you?"

Zion fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Every expression fleeted across his face until finally, it returned to calmness.

"Well then, when can they leave?"

"They'll leave when you've recovered fully. Zion, those who come to our house are guests. Besides, Evangeline is a girl after all. Don't display your dislike for her too blatantly, okay? You know, your mom and I are here for something. If it weren't for you unable to travel because of your injuries, mom and dad wouldn't have left you alone." "I see. Dad, I will handle this well."

Zion became aloof as he was before.

"By the way, dad, Uncle Silver Fox and I have checked it out. Many years ago, Mr. Hans went to Longford County to look for something."

Rita quickly handed the phone to Nathaniel once Zion started talking about business.

Wisdom peeled the dragon fruit that Rita had sorted out next to them and handed it to her.

In order to prevent Rita from dirtying her hands, Wisdom held it as she ate it just like that. It was very comfortable.

However, Nathaniel and Mango frowned.

"He was looking for something? What was it?"

"I don't know. We couldn't get to the bottom of it. It took us a lot of time and effort to find out that Mr. Hans went to Longford County to look for some items. There were no records in the military. Uncle Silver Fox and I guessed that the military might not know that there was something there. Maybe only Benny knew about it. He wanted to take it for himself or destroy it, so he mobilized a special force and initiated that infamous massacre. But all this is just our assumption. After all, Uncle Silver Fox said that judging from Benny's attitude toward Aunt Mo, he hated her for real. However, I don't think he will slaughter everyone just for Aunt Mo and Mr. Hans. He only needed to send his men to catch them. There was no need to make a big deal out of it."

Zion told Nathaniel about Silver Fox's assumption.

Nathaniel remained silent as he pondered over it. He said nothing at all. However, Mango was a little irritated.

"No matter what, he is a b*stard if he sacrifices so many lives for his own gains!"

"Yes, he is a b*stard! So I guess Morgan might have discovered something, so he was taken away..."

Mango froze momentarily at Nathaniel's words.

"Didn't the military suspended Morgan..."

"There are still some ambitious people in the Powell family."
