The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 466

Zion's eyes narrowed at Walter's words and he muttered, "Because if you really wants to protect my Mommy, you'd protect Mr. Ye for her as well, right?"

It was hard for Walter to answer Zion's question.

"Kid, I'm going to make it very clear that I detest your father very much. I'm not even ashamed to tell you that I fancy your mother, and I would be glad if something happened to your father. Honestly, I wouldn't even try to save him at all."

Walter didn't care about Zion's opinion of him. Furthermore, it was clear that he liked Mango anyway.

Zion frowned slightly before replying, "I know how charming my mother can be, but she loves my Daddy."

This time, Zion didn't even call Mr. Ye by his name.

"So what? Nathaniel's nowhere to be found, so all I have to do is to stay by your mother's side every day. I'm sure that she would eventually fall in love with me if I'm there for her during her darkest times. Plus, why would she not fall in love with me? I'm handsome as hell."

At that, Zion almost threw up.

He had met several narcissistic people in his life, but none as narcissistic as Walter.

Zion shook his head before saying, "It's fine if you don't want to go. But don't blame me if anything goes wrong with your arm."

"What do you mean?"

Walter immediately became nervous.

There was an indifferent tone in Zion's voice as he replied, "Oh nothing, I just added some chili oil into the ointment. It's very bad for wound healing, I hear."

"You brat! Didn't you do this to repay me for saving your mom? How dare you trick me!"

Walter almost wanted to kill Zion on the spot.

Sure enough, he was Nathaniel's son!

He was just as insidious and cunning as his father!

However, Zion replied softly, "I am grateful to you. The medication is truly effective, just slow and a bit painful. Also, I can still post your crying photos online for all to see. I'm sure the ladies would like them, and I might be able to sell them for money."

"Zion, I'm going to kill you!"

Walter felt extremely depressed.

He'd been fooled by a child!

However, Zion smiled slyly before replying, "So, are you going or not?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take my revenge and make Mr. Ye disappear forever?"

"Never!"

Zion said with absolute certainty.

"How would you know?"

"I know because you can't bear to see my mother sad."

Zion's words rendered Walter speechless.

F*ck! How did this kid correctly predict what was on his mind? Was there no justice on this planet?

"Are you really a four-year-old child?"

"Are you really a young man in his twenties?"

The contemptuous look in Zion's eyes almost drove Walter insane.

Walter felt like he was going to get a heart attack if he stayed with Zion any longer.

"Tell me, where is Nathaniel?"

"I don't know either. This place can't be found on any maps."

As soon as Zion spoke, Walter felt his blood pressure rose.

"You're f*cking with me, aren't you? There are plenty of people in the Ye family who can help you, like your uncle, or Merle. Why me? Now you tell me that you don't know the name of the place, so how do you expect me to go?"

Walter was really annoyed right now.

Zion replied in a low voice, "My uncle has been very busy lately, and I rarely see him. Even Wisdom's followed him to work, and I haven't seen him in a few days. As for Uncle Merle, he has other things to attend to and I'm sure Susie's escape from our custody wasn't some sort of mistake."

Walter felt rather odd hearing a four-year-old child analyzing these things.

Zion was simply a genius.

"Can you just occupy your mind with stuff kids usually think about? Let the adults handle their problems."

"Well, if you adults are more efficient in your work, then would a child like I need to worry so much?"

Walter nearly burst a blood vessel out of anger as he heard Zion's dismissive tone.

The child seemed to be asking for a beating every time he opened his mouth.

"All right, tell me how I'm supposed to get to the place you spoke of?"

"I've already drawn a path on the map and sent it to your phone. All you need is to follow the instructions to get there."

After Zion finished speaking, Walter hopped up in shock.

"When did you gain access to my phone?"

"I didn't, but Mr. Ye went through your phone before this. I found traces of your phone in his, so I just sent it from there."

Zion replied calmly, but Walter felt a chill run down his spine.

Were these two freaks from the Ye family even human?

"No, you went through my phone without my permission. That's an invasion of privacy you know that?"

"Hey, Uncle Song, I'm not interested in the photos of the beautiful women on your phone! I didn't want to scar myself, so I skipped over them."

Rainie laughed so hard that Walter wanted to beat her up.

Thomas was also very shocked upon seeing Walter's brand new hairstyle.

"What the hell happened?"

"Get lost!"

Walter finally found an outlet for his anger.

However, Thomas decided not to fight with Walter over what happened the day before.

"You didn't sleep well last night, so why are you here instead of being home?"

Alas, Thomas's words just made Walter more irritable.

"It's none of your business. From now on, you'd better be here to protect Mango twenty-four-seven. I'll never forgive you if anything happens to her, you hear me?"

Walter's words were domineering and aggressive, but Thomas didn't have much of a reaction. He nodded while saying, "I'll take care of her."

"Ha!"

After that, Walter turned away from him to face Mango. Next, he reluctantly said, "Mango, I really want to stay here with you, but something comes up at the company and I need to leave the country. Ah, what am I to do now? Well, if you tell me to stay, I'll drop everything to stay with you."

At that moment, Walter looked like a hurt puppy and his expression caused Mango to laugh.

"Quit messing around. Work is more important, and you should go attend to it. I'll be fine here. Plus, Thomas, the Hans family, Genevieve, and Rainie are here with me. Don't worry about me."

"Mango, you're truly so cruel! How could you hurt me like this? You know I want you to persuade me to stay!"

Walter became more and more engrossed in his theatrics.

On the other hand, Rainie was rendered speechless.

"Do you think that we're invisible, Walter? You're not winning any Oscars with that performance!"

"Thomas, you'd better get Rainie away from me, or else I'll hurt her."

Walter felt like Thomas and Rainie were simply third-wheeling him. Couldn't they see that he wanted to spend time alone with Mango?

However, Mango smiled before saying, "Stop fooling around. I know you care about me, but the company's matters are more important. You have a safe journey, okay?"

Thus, Mango's words forced Walter to leave.

He nodded his head fully and Walter chatted with Mango for a while longer before he left the hospital.

Then, he returned to his office to pack up some stuff and drove to the airport. However, he sensed that someone was following him.

Walter frowned slightly, and he spotted a car that quickly drove away in the rearview mirror when he stopped at the airport.

Was he suffering from a case of paranoia?
