The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 353

"Rita, what are you talking about?"

Before Mango could speak, Zion had already beaten her to the punch.

Although his sister had always favored Nathaniel, she couldn't just keep defending him right?

"What I'm saying is a fact."

On the other hand, Rita didn't feel like she'd said anything wrong.

Then, Zion looked at Nathaniel mockingly and said. "If a man needs a woman to protect him when he goes out, is he even a man?"

"Stop it, Zion."

Mango was afraid that Zion would anger Nathaniel, who was clearly in a foul mood.

Then, Nathaniel's eyes narrowed.

"You're looking for a beating, aren't you?"

"Well, if you lost a fight only to vent it all out on a child when you get home, then I salute you, Mr. Ye."

However, Zion was unafraid of Nathaniel icy expression as he mocked his father. Thus, Nathaniel became extremely pissed off.

He was already frustrated about the photo, and to make matters worse, his son even mocked him when he got home. Hence, his expression soured.

"I have better things to do than argue with you!"

After that, Nathaniel immediately walked upstairs angrily.

Meanwhile, Mango was astonished.

Rita was also on the verge of tears.

"Zion, why are you like this? Can't you be more polite to daddy? Ugh, you're the worst!"

She stomped her feet after she finished speaking and ran after Nathaniel.

"Daddy, Daddy..."

However, Nathaniel acted as if he didn't hear her and closed the door with a loud bang.

Then, Rita stood there and stared at the closed door before she turned back and glared at Zion and Mango, "I hate both of you, hmph!"

After that, she stormed back to her room and slammed the door just like Nathaniel had.

Right now, both Zion and Mango were extremely confused.

Nathaniel would never ever be so petty with the children, but what was up with him today?

Then, Zion tapped Mango with his finger and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Ye today?"

Mango shook her head confusedly.

"I don't know. He went off and picked a fight with Walter in public, and he's been acting this way since I took him home."

Mango felt that something was up with Nathaniel today, but he refused to tell her anything.

Zion tilted his head when he heard his mother's explanation and asked, "Is he jealous about something?"

"About what?"

Mango replied her son dully.

By then, Zion was rather speechless.

"Mommy, you have a good relationship with Uncle Song. Mr. Ye can be quite petty despite how coldhe looks on the outside. He can't even stand it if I sleep with you, let alone an outsider like Uncle Song."

"What are you talking about? I haven't contacted Walter for a very long time. Even if he were jealous, now's not the time to do that! He couldn't have waited this long to act on his jealousy, right?"

"That's true!"

Zion felt that his mother made total sense.

"Oh, I get it."

"Hm?"

Mango's ears couldn't help but perk up when she saw Zion's expression turn into one of realisation.

Then, Zion smiled and said, "Mr. Ye must be having a midlife crisis!"

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Mango flicked Zion's forehead firmly with her finger.

"Ouch mommy, that hurts. But if he isn't going through a midlife crisis, then why would he be so mad?"

Ultimately, Zion still felt that his guess was right.

However, Mango sighed and replied, "Cut the crap, your dad is still young. Also, you keep calling him Mr. Ye all the time. Can't you just call him daddy?"

"Oh, I get it. Apparently, all women would give up their children in favour of their husbands..

Zion shook his head disappointedly like a jaded old man, and the sight of that made Mango chuckle.

"You cheeky little monkey."

She smiled as she patted Zion's head. Nevertheless, she was still confused as to why Nathaniel would fight Walter.

At that moment, Thomas was surprised to find that Mango had returned when he entered the house.

"Mrs. Ye, you're back?"

"Mhm, did you get something for Charlotte?"
