The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 333

Zion was usually very mature for his age, so Mango would sometimes forget that he was just a child. Now that he looked at her with such an anticipatory gaze, she couldn't help but feel somewhat distressed.

Compared to his peers, Zion had endured far too many hardships.

Then, she reached out and gently caressed Zion's face and muttered, "You've worked so hard, my dear."

Then, Zion's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

He quickly shook his head and smiled, "Not really. I am the eldest son after all, so it's my duty."

Those words made Mango's chest constrict.

"Either way, you're my son and it's my duty to care for you. I'm so sorry to have troubled you, Zion. Let Mommy and Daddy take care of everything in the future, you can relax now."

In fact, Mango couldn't wait to hold Zion in her arms.

Her son had been very sensible ever since he was a child, and her heart ached for him.

Obviously, Zion saw through Mango's intentions and he quickly stopped her. "Mommy, you're still sick. Why don't you carry me when you're better?"

"All right!"

Honestly, Mango felt like she owed Zion a great deal.

After that, Rita giggled and said, "Zion, how about we go downstairs to see Daddy? Since Mommy hasn't recovered yet, we should let Grandma and Grandpa visit her first. They might have a lot to talk about."

Even now, Rita still missed Nathaniel.

She hadn't seen her father for a very long time as well!

Mango naturally knew what her daughter was thinking. Compared to her, Rita enjoyed spending time with Nathaniel much more.

Mango might have felt a little jealous before this, but she didn't really care that much anymore now that both her children were healthy and happy,

"All right Zion, take your sister downstairs. Be careful okay?"

"Okay!"

Zion nodded at Mango.

Then, Charlotte stepped forward and picked Rita up from the bed. However, she didn't put Rita down and she said with a smile, "I'll take them downstairs. Make sure you get some rest."

"Alright!"

Mango smiled faintly.

Zion didn't mind the fact that Charlotte enjoyed the company of his sister. In his opinion, the more people liked Rita, the better.

"Have a good rest, Mommy. Rita and I will be heading downstairs now."

Zion replied obediently.

"Mmm, sure."

Then, Mango stroked Zion's head before the young boy happily strolled away.

Shortly after they left, Mr. and Mrs. Shen came upstairs to see Mango.

However, Nathaniel didn't follow them so Mango reckoned that he was preoccupied with Rita.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Shen's eyes filled with tears the moment she laid eyes on Mango.

"My dear, why do you always keep us in the dark with what's going on in your life? Do you think that your father and I are useless because we're old? We had to hear about you from someone else!"

"It’s not like that, Morn. I was just afraid that both of you would be worried, and I didn't want to agitate you since you're unwell too."

In fact, Mango was a little embarrassed by Mrs. Shen's words.

"No matter how weak I am, you can't hide these things from me. Being a woman is hard enough, let alone having to go through a miscarriage. Furthermore, how can a man like Nathaniel care for you during your confinement period? What if something goes wrong? It'll affect you for the rest of your life! Oh, why are you so silly, Mango?"

Mrs. Shen quickly went forward and grabbed Mango's hand.

When she sensed the coldness in her daughter's hand, tears instantly flowed down her face.

"Oh dear, how many days has it been? Your hands are still so cold. If you catch a chill, you'll suffer a lot in the future, and don't even think about getting pregnant again. I don't care, I'm staying here from now on and I will take full responsibility for your diet. Although what Nathaniel makes is light and nutritious, he's still a man, and there's plenty that he still doesn't know. Furthermore, you can't learn things like this from Google."

Mrs. Shen spoke as she wiped away her tears, which caused Mango much distress.

"Morn, I should be taking care of you, not the other way around. Let's put it this way, I'll have Nathaniel hire a maid so you won't have to worry about me."

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm too old for this? Think about who raised you. Who fed and clothed you since you were a baby? How dare you reject my help now?"

"Of course not, I just don't want to tire you out."
