Nathaniel felt somewhat hesitant when he saw Zion waving at him, but he still walked towards his son.
"What's the matter?"
"You suck!"
Zion didn't hide his contempt for Nathaniel. On the other hand, Nathaniel wanted to beat his son up.
"Since you're a genius, so why don't you tell me how to get your Mommy to stop ignoring me?"
Nathaniel had no idea what to do.
He would rather Mango made a scene than be so quiet. It was like emotional abuse to him.
However, Nathaniel deserved all these, so he didn't dare to complain about Mango.
While eating, Rita listened to the whispers between the father and son. She hurriedly asked, "Daddy, why Mommy ignores you? Did you fight?"
"Eat the pineapple buns."
Zion pushed Rita away again.
Rita was so angry that she pouted, but she couldn't interrupt.
Zion said directly to Nathaniel, "I will do this later. You cooperate with me!"
Their voices were very soft. Rita pricked up her ears but she only heard some. She couldn't stop furrowing her brows.
When Mango came out, Nathaniel had already returned to the living room.
He sat on the sofa while watching Mango walked out of the bathroom. Then, Mango straightaway ignored him and she walked up the stairs.
"Mango, let's talk."
Nathaniel stopped Mango.
Mango paused, but she didn't turn around. She said faintly, "I'm a little tired. Let's talk about it later."
With that, she was about to go upstairs.
At this moment, Zion suddenly opened the door and he came out while holding his belly.
"Mommy, my tummy hurts."
Zion's expression was a little uncomfortable, and his voice sounded like he was on the verge of tears.
Mango could ignore Nathaniel, but she couldn't ignore Mango. When she saw her son acting like this, she immediately panicked.
"What's wrong? Did you eat too many pineapple buns just now? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Zion rarely fell ill, so Mango didn't have the slightest doubt about his current state.
Nathaniel stood up quickly and he ran towards them before saying, "I hold Zion, you go and tell Newell to prepare the car."
"Ok!"
At this moment, Mango didn't fuss about Nathaniel anymore. She immediately turned around to run outside.
Suddenly, Rita came out of the room and she said to Mango, "Mommy, they're lying to you! Zion didn't have a stomachache at all! That was what they planned just now, I heard it!"
Mango's footsteps had already reached the entrance of the living room, but she immediately stopped to turn around upon hearing Rita's words.
Zion couldn't wait to beat Rita to death right now.
Zion waved his fist at Rita, but Rita stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.
"Who asked you to steal my pineapple buns and not allow me to listen to the conversation?"
Rita looked like a villain intoxicated with success.
Before Zion took back his fist, Mango saw it clearly.
At this time, Zion didn't look like he was having a stomachache at all.
Mango looked at Nathaniel and she said coldly, "Did you teach him?"
"No, I..."
"You're really something! Besides using children as weapons, what else can you do?"
Without waiting for Nathaniel to finish speaking, Mango's expression turned cold and she straightaway passed through them.
"Mommy, this is my idea. It has nothing to do with Uncle Ye. Don't blame him."
Seeing that Mango'an was really angry, Mango'an grabbed Mango's hand.
Mango looked at her son and before saying faintly, "Zion, you're acting like a genius now. You can even fool Mommy now."
"No, Mommy, I just don't want to see you quarrel with Mr. Ye. Really!"
Zion had rarely seen Mango like this.
Mommy so serious about this!
Even though he had done something wrong in the past, Mango had never been as serious as he was now.
Zion couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Seeing that the play could no longer go on, Nathaniel hurriedly said, "Zion did it for us, Mango, I think we can talk about it. Please, listen to my explanation."
"What if I don't listen? Are you going to continue threatening me with the children?"
Mango's stared straight into Nathaniel's eyes.
There was no warmth in her eyes and they were so cold that Nathaniel couldn't get used to it.
Mango, the person who loved him wholeheartedly seemed to disappear all of a sudden. The woman that standing in front of him right now made him feel so unfamiliar and distant.
They were so close, yet so far.
