The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 798

"Did you invite guests?"

Mateo asked in confusion.

Nathaniel shook his head.

At that moment, Sisi came out.

"Mr. Ye, I'll open the door."

"Be careful."

Nathaniel nodded.

"All right."

Then, Sisi walked outside.

The children seemed to have sensed the tense atmosphere, so Wisdom asked in puzzlement, "Daddy, did something happen here?"

"No, it's just that mommy is pregnant and we have to be more cautious, but don't worry as it's okay."

Nathaniel caressed Wisdom's head with a faint smile.

Only then did Wisdom let out a sigh of relief.

"We should indeed take good care of mommy."

"Yes, I'll ensure that she's fine."

Rita and Zion looked at them without saying anything.

Rita felt that Wisdom had already said what she wanted to say and expressed her concerns, so there was no need for her to ask about it any further. However, Zion had something else in his mind.

Sisi went out just for a moment and she returned.

"Mr. Ye, it's Mrs. Ye's parcel."

"Mail delivery? Mango hasn't bought anything in the past few days."

Nathaniel's expression became solemn as soon as he finished speaking.

"Just give it to me and you guys have your meal first."

Nathaniel took the parcel and went upstairs.

Zion's eyes narrowed and he seemed to be deep in thought.

Mateo was a little worried as well and he looked at Zion before saying with a low voice, "Zion, accompany your brother and sister to have lunch while I go up to have a look."

"All right."

Zion didn't object.

Then, Mateo left.

Rita asked as she saw them leaving the dining table one after another, "Why do I feel that these adults are acting weirdly? Did something really happen?" "It's nothing, just have your meal. They are just trying to protect mommy as she almost passed out when she gave birth to us last time. I heard from our foster father that she lost a lot of blood at that time and her life was hanging by a thread, so it's not surprising that Mr. Ye is quite nervous now that mommy is pregnant again."

Zion said in a soft voice.

However, Rita put down her chopsticks suddenly and she rested her chin on her hand while looking at Zion and said, "Zion, do you miss our foster father?"

Zion paused for a moment.

Did he miss him?

Perhaps he did.

Abyss was the one beside them from the moment they were born until they returned to their home country. Although Abyss turned out to have evil intentions at some point, it was undeniable that he had played the role of their father during their developmental stage and this fact was ingrained in Zion's and Rita's hearts.

Zion really didn't want to lose his foster father if it weren't for the fact that Abyss had gone too far.

Rita looked at Zion downheartedly as she saw that Zion didn't answer her and said, "I know that our foster father had done a lot of bad things and he had also hurt Mommy other than trying to hurt me. Yet I can't hate him for some reason and sometimes I wonder if Mommy and I would be homeless if our foster father wasn't around... I wonder how is he doing now and if he is living a good life."

"Come on, let's dig in."

Zion interrupted Rita immediately.

He was afraid that Rita's words would remind him of Abyss's kindness to him.

To be honest, Abyss didn't owe anyone including Zion's mother and Zion couldn't bring himself to hate him although he treated Mango really badly eventually.

Zion had a high IQ but he would've been just an ordinary brat now if Abyss hadn't hired a master to teach his son. Also, Abyss actually really treated Zion as his son.

Zion lost his appetite the more he thought about it.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Then, Zion got up and left the table.

Rita looked at Zion's back and asked Wisdom in a low voice, "Wisdom, did I say something wrong?"

"I don't think so as he's just going to the toilet."

Rita bit her chopsticks and said in a sad voice, "I shouldn't have mentioned our foster father as both mommy and Zion will be really upset."

"Rita, it's okay as you didn't do anything wrong."

Wisdom comforted Rita.

On the other hand, Zion entered the bathroom and took out his phone before dialing the number that he was really familiar with, but he hung up the moment the person answered the call.

What was he going to say to his foster father?

Abyss and his mother would never be together and he had doubts for Abyss because of the past incidents which he didn't know how to face.

Zion put his phone away as he felt that Rita had affected his emotions but it was right at this moment that Abyss's call came.

Zion didn't know whether to pick it up or not as he looked at the familiar number but he eventually answered the call.

"Zion? Is that you?"

Then, Zion had the urge to cry the moment Abyss's familiar voice came to his ears.

"Yea."

He couldn't bring himself to call him 'Dad' anymore no matter how hard he tried.

Nevertheless, Abyss was pleasantly surprised.

"Stinky brat, it seems that I didn't dote on you for nothing as you still cared to give me a call."

At that instant, Zion's eyes turned a little red.

"You...how are you doing now?"

"How would I be fine without you beside me? Nevertheless, believe me as I'll be fine... How are you? Are you happy to be with your biological father and mother again?"

Zion nodded to Abyss's words and said, "Mm, it's pretty good, dad."

"What's that?"

Abyss couldn't help but smile the moment he heard Zion calling him dad.

He liked Zion genuinely as he really devoted his feelings to him and treated him as his own son. Besides, he even had the intention to let Zion inherit his properties but it was a pity that his dream would not be fulfilled.
