Mango overlooked the murderous intent in Nathaniel's eyes as she spoke. She was still immersed in her memories while she cried and said, "You don't even know that Zion was only 6 pounds when he was born! The doctor told me that he was malnourished and also lacked calcium. I was on the verge of a breakdown then. I had no one by my side and only had a caretaker who wanted my children's life. I didn't dare to sleep nor relax, and I didn't even dare to go to the bathroom. It was because I feared that my children would be gone in the blink of an eye. I didn't know whether my daughter would survive, and if anything were to happen to my son, I don't know if I would have the courage to continue living."
"Stop talking about this. It won't happen again this time. I will stay by your side and accompany you and the children now. No matter what happens, I won't let anyone hurt you and the kids."
Nathaniel immediately hugged Mango, and there were tears in his eyes as he promised.
He knew that Mango went through a hard time, and he also knew that it was very difficult for her when she gave birth to the children then. He had investigated this matter before, but there were many things that he couldn't find out. If Mango hadn't told him about this that day, he wouldn't have known how badly the Tang family had treated his wife and children.
In the past, he had always been lenient with Abyss as Abyss had taken care of Mango and the kids for five years. Now, it seemed like he had done the wrong thing.
If he had known these from the start, Nathaniel would have immediately exterminated the Tang family.
On the other hand, Mango cried bitterly in Nathaniel's arms.
"I miss Zion, Rita, and Wisdom. When will you bring them back?"
"Mommy."
Zion's voice suddenly rang out in the room, so Mango was startled. She even thought that she was hallucinating.
"Look at me. I'm hallucinating because I miss the children. Heh. I even heard Zion's voice."
Meanwhile, Zion, who was standing behind Mango, looked helplessly at her as she continued bawling. This was the first time he had seen his mommy crying like this.
Ah, so his mother had been this worried about him
when he was born.
Then, Zion opened his mouth again to speak.
"Mommy, you're not hallucinating. I'm back."
Mango was stunned for a moment before pushing Nathaniel away. When she saw Zion, she immediately opened her arms.
"Zion, I miss you so much!"
Zion smiled faintly and quickly ran into Mango's arms when he saw this.
"Mommy, I miss you too."
Nathaniel was a little jealous when he saw this scene.
Did Mango just ignore him?
However, when he saw how intimate his wife and son were, a trace of warmth flowed through his heart.
This was his beloved family. In the future, he would protect them well.
When Mango touched Zion's warm body, she finally felt that this was real.
"When did you come back? Hmm? Why didn't you tell me about it in advance? Where are Rita and Wisdom? Are they also back?"
Mango immediately looked around, but she didn't see any trace of the other two children.
Zion quickly said, "Rita has enrolled in an afterschool class and won't come back for the time being. Also, Wisdom has volunteered for a charity medical consultation and is on his way there."
He didn't tell his mommy that Wisdom had gone to Swovenia with the volunteers. If Mango knew about this right now, she would be worried.
Furthermore, Nathaniel had already told him that her pregnancy was risky, and she couldn't be too emotional.
Mango then asked with some concern, "Is anyone going with him?"
"Yes. Uncle Michael sent a bodyguard to go with Wisdom, so he will be fine."
"That's good to hear."
Mango breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't get to see Wisdom and Rita, it was still good to see Zion.
"What's up with your sister? Why did she enroll in an after- school class? I thought she only liked eating!"
Speaking of this, Zion felt a little helpless.
"Well, she started becoming interested in the violin."
As Zion thought of the boy who Rita was pursuing, he was displeased.
It was evident to Zion that Mylo had ulterior motives towards Rita, but she couldn't see it. She even said that Mylo was a nice person and was good at playing the violin, and she even said that he was a lot better than Zion in everything!
At this thought, Zion was pissed off.
Urgh! Rita was all grown all, and she didn't want to stay with her family anymore!
Zion thought in anger, but he didn't dare tell Mango about this matter. If she found out that someone was eyeing her daughter when Rita was still so young, she would be pretty worried.
Zion felt that he had to resolve this matter privately so that it would not affect his mommy's pregnancy.
Then, he smiled even more warmly as he thought about this.
"Mommy, do you want some water? I'll pour it for you."
Suddenly, he thought about how Mango had said that he had been scalded by hot water when he was born. Hence, he couldn't help but imagine the upset expression she had back then.
Yes, he had to be filial to his mommy in the future. He would not allow her to go through any harm or suffering.
However, Mango shook her head and held Zion in her arm as the latter struggled for a moment.
"Mommy, I'm heavy. Put me down."
Mango felt that her son had indeed grown taller and was also heavier. However, she said happily, "It's fine. How old are you? You're not that heavy, and it won't hurt me. I miss you and want to hug you."
After saying that, Mango noticed that Zion's face had turned a little red.
Oh, so that brat was embarrassed.
Mango then thought of teasing Zion. Hence, she lowered her head and kissed Zion's face, and both Nathaniel and Zion were stunned.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was a little jealous.
That kiss belonged to him! Only him!
On the Zion was a little embarrassed.
Mango's lips were too soft!
Then, Mango looked at the two men and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha! You're so cute, my dear son."
She gently patted Zion's head as she said this. She was in a good mood, but she felt that Nathaniel was an eyesore now.
"Aren't you going to monitor Desmond's activities? Hurry up and go. Don't disturb our heart-to-heart
conversation."
