The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 419

Zion saw Nathaniel's impatience and he said on purpose, "Actually, it's still not quite dark yet. I can accompany Mommy a little longer since Rita isn't awake yet."

Nathaniel's mouth turned upside down into a frown.

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? You little brat!"

"Yeah, what's wrong with wanting to spend more time with Mommy? She belongs to us too, you know. Why don't you let us spend time with Mommy?"

Nathaniel had no answer.

"Either way, you better leave soon. She's my wife."

"But she's also my Mommy!"

Zion was right, and Nathaniel had no rebuttal.

He wondered if this little rascal was put here on this earth to irritate him. Then he said, "Grandma has been waiting downstairs for a long time now, won't you be considerate of her?"

When Madam Ye was mentioned, Zion hesitated for a moment.

Grandma did treat them very well indeed. It was her idea to bring Rita and himself over for a visit. Otherwise, if it were up to Nathaniel, who knew how long it would be before they saw their mother?

As he thought about the matter, Zion looked at his father with some disdain and he said, "What a petty man you are to be jealous of your own children."

Nathaniel had not expected his son to be this sassy, and he replied after recovering from his surprise, "So what, kiddo? You gonna do something about it?"

"Pfft!"

Zion got up and he decided to not dignify this man-child with a response.

Zion planted a kiss on Mango's cheek and he spotted Nathaniel glowering at him. If he wasn't Nathaniel's son, Nathaniel might have dragged him out of there by his collar.

It had been a while since Nathaniel looked like this, Zion gleefully thought.

"I love Mommy the most! I heard that I should kiss the person that I love the most on the lips."

Zion lowered himself as he spoke, then suddenly he was stuck as Nathaniel grabbed him from behind while sporting a dangerous look on his face.

"That's enough, Zion! I dare you to try kissing my woman, see what happens to you!"

"That's my Mommy!"

"Even so, you're not allowed to kiss her on her lips! I've already shown you a lot of leniency by allowing you to kiss her cheek. Did you think I wouldn't dare throw you out from the second floor?"

Nathaniel knew Zion was irking him on purpose, but he could not suppress his own jealousy.

This little brat was getting out of hand!

He even dared to kiss Mango on the lips?

Did Zion think that Nathaniel wouldn't give him the thrashing of his life?

Zion giggled and he said, "You wouldn't. If you threw me off the balcony, Mommy will hate you. I'm born from her flesh, so I'm precious to her."

"You..."

Zion had checkmated him now. He huffed angrily before pushing Zion back onto the bed.

"Oh, the hubris of the defeated!"

Zion showed no indication of halting his attacks and he continued provoking his father.

Nathaniel willed himself not to heed the little brat's incensing remarks, as Zion secretly enjoyed every moment of seeing his father ground his teeth.

Nathaniel dragged Zion out with him and he shoved him onto Thomas, then returned to haul a sleeping Rita out as well.

Rita had not noticed that she was no longer in bed, and subconsciously curled up against Nathaniel to continue sleeping soundly.

Her soft warm body wriggled in Nathaniel's embrace, like a feather tickling his heartstrings.

The sayings were true, that daughters were lovers from a past life.

Nathaniel looked at her lovingly and he had second thoughts about sending her away now.

Seeing Nathaniel's expression, Thomas smiled before saying, "Mr. Ye, how about we let Miss Rita stay over for a few more days?"

"Forget it, it's better for her to stay with my mother. Madam Ye can't get enough of this little angel. Moreover, we still have unfinished business to take care of here, it's not appropriate for them to live here just yet."

So Nathaniel carried Rita downstairs. Zion looked at how Nathaniel was carefully escorting his sister and he whispered, "Don't be fooled by her angelic appearance, she's much more cunning than you think."

"Well, that's still better than dealing with you."

Nathaniel felt more endeared towards Rita now that he saw that Zion was envious.

"My daughter is the best kid around here, unlike some people who go against their elders every day like a little brat."

Zion saw how childish Nathaniel was behaving, and he turned to Thomas beside him to say, "Mr. Song, I heard that eating walnuts will improve one's brain function?" "Yes, if you want some, I will get someone to buy some walnuts for you."

Thomas thought Zion had wanted to eat the nuts.

Zion nodded grimly and he said, "Yes, please get some and feed them to Mr. Ye. Otherwise, I worry that our venture capital company will be taken over by someone else, and then Rita and I will have to depend on Grandma for our living."

He sighed as though his premonition was about to happen.

Nathaniel jaw stiffened.

This little brat just wouldn't let up, wasn't he?

"Zion, are you feeling itchy by any chance?"

"Apart from using violence on me, what else can you do?"

Zion showed no fear as he walked down the stairs to his grandmother. "Grandma, Daddy said he'll see us out the door in a bit," Zion said.

"When did I say that.."
