The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1504

"What are you thinking about, Zion?"

When Wisdom saw that Zion didn't answer, he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Zion quickly snapped back to reality. "Nothing, I don't think I saw her. Perhaps Mr. Ye has arranged for her to do something?"

Although he said so, Wisdom still felt a little worried when he thought of Bettany's previous behavior.

"She didn't even reply to me. I'm afraid..."

Although Wisdom didn't finish his words, Zion understood.

He held Wisdom's hand and said, "Don't think too much. The situation is somewhat special now, so we should listen to our parents and do nothing. I saw some people in our aunt's palace and they seemed to be monitoring her. Although they tried to cover up the news on the way back, I still felt that there were people around us. Although I don't know what this matter has to do with my uncle's death, I think we're being watched. Let's do nothing for now. Maybe this is the best protection for my parents."

"All right."

Wisdom nodded.

Just as they were talking, the housekeeper, Lucy, walked up to them.

"Sirs, Mr. Abbott is here."

"Uncle Maverick?"

Zion got up in a hurry and Wisdom went out with him.

Maverick looked at the layout of the Ye's Mansion and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

"Although it is antique, these furniture are really ugly."

Lilian quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "You just came to help for a while and you're not going to be staying here, so why do you have to comment so much?"

"Who says I can't live here? What if I don't want to leave?"

Maverick found that he especially liked to tease his wife recently, and her serious expression was really cute.

How could she tolerate his temper in the past and be his lover?

"How are you feeling?"

Maverick couldn't help asking when he saw Lilian's grim expression.

"It's okay since I just arrived here. I think that the weather is getting worse, but I'll be fine in a couple of days."

Lilian coughed softly.

"I'll ask Bettany to have a look at you when she comes back."

Although Maverick's voice was soft, Wisdom still heard what he said.

He suddenly stopped and Lilian whispered, "Forget it, Bettany has other patients to take care of. Her patient is special, so I don't need to bother her with my minor illness."

"Right, I'll find a family doctor to come in later."

"All right."

Lilian knew that Maverick would take her to the hospital directly if she didn't agree.

He had become more casual ever since he left Atlas, but he was also particularly concerned about her health.

She touched her belly. She didn't know when she could give birth to a baby. Although Maverick didn't say it, she still wanted to give birth. However, she didn't know if she could make it.

When Maverick saw that she had agreed, he smiled and saw a little figure walking down from the corner of his eyes.

"Aunty, Uncle."

Wisdom greeted them politely.

When Maverick saw that it was Wisdom, the expression on his face became much softer.

"Wisdom, do you miss me? Hmm?"

He picked Wisdom up, which made the boy feel a little embarrassed.

"I do. Uncle, please put me down first."

"You're so young. Why do you have to act so mature? Are you tired? I'm telling you, a child of your age should play with water guns and have snow fights. Don't pretend to be serious all day, okay?"

Maverick still remembered Nick's personality. It was said that Wisdom's personality before this was not like this, and it could be seen that the incident involving the adults had a great impact on him.

If possible, Maverick hoped that Wisdom would be as carefree as he was before. He didn't want Wisdom to think about anything, and it didn't matter if he wasn't outstanding.

Wisdom was a little shy.

"Uncle, please put me down first before you speak."

"I won't."

Maverick teased him and suddenly put Wisdom on his shoulder. This made Wisdom frightened and he screamed. Before he could say anything, Maverick suddenly ran out of the house.

Wisdom was a little scared and quickly hugged Maverick's neck.

"Uncle!"

His voice trembling a little, but Maverick directly carried him outside and threw him to the snow pile not far away.

"Ah!"

Wisdom screamed when he flew in the air. The freezing snow instantly entered his shirt, which made him shocked by the cold.

Maverick grabbed a snowball and threw it at Wisdom.

"Are you cold? Are you upset? Come and beat me!"

Lilian was really at a loss when she saw Maverick's mischievious look.

This man was too childish now.

How could he bully a child?

"Maverick, don't let Wisdom catch a cold."

Lilian stopped him in time.

Maverick turned his head and said, "It's none of your business. This child has been forcing himself to grow up. What has he become this year? He reads medical books and studies medicine every day, does he even look like a five-year-old child?"

As he spoke, Wisdom took advantage of this opportunity to strike back. He completely smashed the snowballs in his hands onto Maverick's face.

The bone- chilling coldness made him shiver suddenly.
