Nathaniel and Mango stayed in their hotel. While having dinner, Zion suddenly came to them out of nowhere, pulled out a chair, and sat down to eat.
Zion's attitude that seemed like no one was around at all caused Nathaniel's brows to furrow.
"Aren't you in isolation now?"
Hearing that Nathaniel's tone was not quite right, Mango kicked him directly under the table. She then heard Zion say lightly, "Mom, that's my leg."
Mango suddenly felt awkward.
Seeing his wife's acts, Nathaniel quickly said, "Your mom didn’t kick the wrong person. You're already an adult and have a girlfriend. How can you come back to us and eat our dinner for free?"
"I haven't gotten married yet. Dad, have you already started to dislike me? Besides, I haven't eaten much at home in the past few years."
Nathaniel was a little depressed after hearing Zion's words.
"You disturbed our meal."
"You can just say that I disturbed you and your wife."
Hearing Zion's words, Nathaniel's face darkened again.
"I remember that you used to be cold."
"People change, and I decided to come back."
Mango's interest was instantly piqued after hearing Zion's words.
"Are you going to retire?"
"How is that possible? I believe that a person like him will stay in the military for the rest of his whole life."
Nathaniel said directly.
Zion put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Dad, mom is right. I may retire." "What do you mean?"
Nathaniel was stunned.
Zion said lightly, "It's nothing. I still have ambitions and ideals, but without arrogance like before when I was young. I'm considering more about it now. Besides, my current position is particular and dangerous. It's not good for my wife and children if I have a family. I've watched you and my mom since I was a child. Soldiers are responsible for protecting the country. If I become a husband and a father, I may not want to care much about anything besides my family. Anyway, I've done my duty for so many years. I have a clear conscience."
Mango's eyes lit up instantly.
"Be a father? Is Evangeline pregnant?"
Zion's mouth twitched.
"Mom, can you focus on the important point? I just established a relationship with her not long before. Do you think it's possible?"
"Why not? Evangeline has already been wooing you for 20 years."
Zion narrowed his eyes and said in a low tone, "Yes, it's been 20 years. She will never
hurt me."
"What?”
Mango didn't hear him clearly, so she asked directly.
"Nothing."
Zion smiled faintly and continued to eat, but Nathaniel's eyes flashed.
Did something happened to this brat and Evangeline?
"Do you come back because you have something to request from us?"
Hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango was stunned again, and Zion couldn't help but sigh slightly.
It was really bad to have a father who's a soldier. He didn't even know how to be tactful.
"Yes, I want to do something private using someone from the Ye family."
Nathaniel and Mango were stunned.
Private affairs?
