The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 527

"Wow! Steak!"

Rita's excitement was a stark contrast to Wisdom who was frowning.

"Sir and Miss, I have prepared some steaks for both of you. Please enjoy."

The woman seemed to be a nanny. She served the freshly cooked steak to Rita.

However, Wisdom stopped Rita without any hesitation. He then looked at the woman in front of him before saying, "We want to have it in a restaurant. My sister only likes mediumwell, but this steak is half done. Plus, she only eats steaks made from imported beef."

"Wisdom, I..."

"Shut up!"

Wisdom glared at Rita suddenly.

Although Rita was dying to have it, she still took a step back because of Wisdom's glare. However, her eyes were fixed on the steaks while drooling.

The truth was, Wisdom did not purposely stop Rita from eating the steaks, but they couldn't have it here.

Instead of hitting the roof, the woman was calm and she said with a smile, "The steaks are indeed freshly made from imported beef. As for the medium-well steak you mentioned, I'll ask them to redo it now. Please wait a moment."

After the woman finished talking, she went out with the steaks.

"What? Wait... Wait! My steaks!"

Rita was dying to snatch the steak from the woman, but Wisdom grabbed her arm.

"Wisdom, my steak!"

"We still don't know what happened to Mommy. So, we only can use this excuse to stall them for now. I'll find something for you to eat now."

Wisdom was slightly worried about Rita.

Rita cared about nothing else but eating, so Wisdom was uncertain if he could stall them.

Rita frowned upon hearing Wisdom's words and she said, "Wait. So, no matter what food they offered us, I have to say that I'm not satisfied with it and let them do it again, is it?"

"That's right! Our baby Rita is brilliant!"

Wisdom generously offered his praises to Rita, but she was pulling her face.

"You're evil, Wisdom! You clearly know that food is my favorite, yet you're forcing me to do that? I don't want to pick on food that I like! You're the worst in the world! Hmph!"

Rita's accusation made Wisdom feel guilty and distressed.

"I promise you, as long as you can reject the food they offered thrice, I will buy you KFC and Starbucks thrice, deal?"

Due to Rita's health condition, both Nathaniel and Mango never allowed her to eat junk food. Even if she did, Rita was normally only allowed to eat it with limitations. Therefore, she smiled delightfully while extending her little finger upon Wisdom's words.

"Pinky promise?"

Wisdom looked at Rita's chubby little hand, and he stretched out his fingers without hesitation.

"Pinky promise! Whoever goes back on their words will become a pig!"

When their thumbs met, Rita smiled even happier, but Wisdom felt sad out of a sudden.

"Zion isn't around, and I am not sure how is Mommy. I have to get Rita out of here, otherwise, Mommy will be worried!"

Wisdom thought to himself and he comforted

Rita for a while before leaving the room.

Rita looked at him worryingly and she said, "Wisdom, it is so high! You have to be careful!"

"It's okay. Stay here and don't let them in before I come back, okay? Just tell them that you have changed your mind, and you want to eat something else instead of steak. Anything is fine as long as you can stall them."

Wisdom reminded Rita once again.

Rita nodded her head before saying, "Okay. Leave it to me. I can resist temptation as long as I don't see any delicious food."

"Good girl!"

Wisdom smiled at Rita and he climbed out of the window.

There were full of guards below him.

Wisdom didn't expect that Nick would send so many bodyguards just to watch him and Rita. Many of them were from the base camp and Wisdom had seen them when he was under Nick's special training.

Wisdom bit his lower lip and he carefully moved towards the kitchen.

All the staffs were busy in the kitchen. Just like the woman said, the steaks were indeed imported from overseas, so they were extremely fresh. Currently, the woman was directing the staff to redo the steak.

While they weren't looking, Wisdom darted in and he quickly hid under a chopping board.

Something next to him attracted his attention. He quickly grabbed a cloth bag and tied it with a rope quietly. By using the theory of pulley, he transported it to the window of the room that Rita and he were locked up.

Rita was slightly stunned when she saw the bag, but then she quickly ran towards the window. Rita saw a rope that was connecting to another room, and the bag seemed to have something in it.

Rita frowned slightly while opening the window, and she tried her best to drag the bag towards herself.

When Wisdom poked his head out of the window to check Rita, he was pleased to see Rita was taking out the stuff that was inside of the bag. He smiled widely while showing her a thumbs up.

Rita immediately perked up when she received the praise from Wisdom. She even took off her jacket and gave her best while doing it.

With Rita's help, Wisdom became even more confident with his plan.

Wisdom was tiny and he was trained in a special training base camp before, so he knew how to avoid the supervision and cameras. Wisdom was able to move freely in the kitchen without anyone noticing him.

Bags of things were transferred to their rooms continuously through the ropes.

Rita was soaked with sweat in a short while. However, she was getting energetic as everything was fun and interesting for her.

At this moment, Rita heard footsteps were approaching the room.

She was anxious while holding her breath.

A woman knocked on the door and said.
