Chapter 363
"Slow down, you''re getting grease all over your face."
Mango pulled out a tissue and wanted to wipe the grease off of Rita''s mouth, but Zion then took the
tissue and did it instead.
Hence, Mango felt extremely content after she saw how her children loved one another so much.
Then, Nathaniel dissatisfaction slowly dissipated.
"What were you guys doing earlier?"
Mango was separated from Nathaniel and Rita for some time, so she couldn''t help but ask.
However, Ritained before Nathaniel could start saying anything.
"Mommy, Daddy was mean to me!"
Rita''s words sent a chill through Nathaniel''s heart.
"Rita, can''t you be more gentle with your words?"
"But it''s true."
After that, Rita continued righteously, "Mommy, I met a boy named Mylo. He bought me ice cream
and yed the flute for me. But then Daddy said that Mylo was a bad guy, and he even insulted
Mylo."
"Who is Mylo? What happened?"
Mango was confused when she heard this, but Zion''s expression darkened.
Hence, Nathaniel had no choice but to tell everyone what happened earlier.
After Mango heard the story, she was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat.
"You don''t know him, but you went off with him just because he bought you ice cream? Rita, what
have I taught you?"
Anger sparked in Mango''s heart immediately.
Gosh, her daughter was so reckless!
Someone had managed to lure Rita away with ice cream, but she wasining about her father
now. Did Rita lose her mind?
Meanwhile, Zion''s expression turned grim, but he remained silent.
When Rita saw that Mango had also be angry, she shrunk back and replied, "Mylo didn''t seem
like a bad person."
"Did he hold up a sign saying that he was a good person? How would you know the difference?"
"I just know, okay!"
Rita retorted, which angered Mango further. Honestly, she wanted to check and see what was going
on in her daughter''s head.
Then, Zion tried to smooth over the situation when he noticed that Mango was pissed off. He
muttered, "Mommy, Rita was just confused for a moment, so don''t me her for it. Since she''s
never stepped out of the house, its normal for her to assume the best out of everyone."
"It''s not like that Zion, Mylo''s very handsome like you, and he ys the flute really well."
Before Rita could finish her sentence, Zion immediately took the food in front of her and dumped it
in the trash can.
Needless to say, Rita was stunned by his actions.
"Zion, what are you doing?"
"Ask Mylo to buy the food for you. How dare you go against us when you''re eating our food and
enjoying our parents'' affection? Do you even need to be with us anymore?"
Zion''s voice was calm and steady as he spoke, but it frightened Rita greatly.
Then, she pulled at the hem of her clothes guiltily and asked, "Don''t you like me anymore, Zion?"
"The question is do you like us? Think about it carefully Rita, who was by your side 24/7 when you
were sick? Who took care of you when you needed them? Was it Mylo? You''ve only met him once,
yet you''re talking back to your parents because of him. What are we to you? We''re angry because
we care about you, but have we spoiled you? Since our family is so unworthy of your attention, then
go to Mylo! Now!"
Truth be told, Zion looked quite intimidating when he was serious, and even Mango had started to
be afraid.
Zion was just a four year old child!
Why did he resemble Nathaniel so much?
Then, Mango gently nudged Nathaniel with her arm and asked, "Are you going to just let Zion
discipline Rita like this?"
"Let him be. Rita indeed made a mistake today. If she can be lured away by any handsome man
who''s willing to give her food, then what would happen to her in the future? It will a huge problem if
she doesn''t realise her mistake now."
Nathaniel whispered back.
Meanwhile, Rita nced at Mango and Nathaniel, who did not move to defend her at all. Paired
with how serious Zion was being, she suddenly panicked.
"Zion!
She stretched out her hand and tugged on the hem of Zion''s shirt.
However, Zion red coldly at her, which scared Rita into silence. The little girl bit her lower lip and
she seemed close to tears.
Hence, Nathaniel felt quite distressed.
"Okay, okay, we''ll just teach her slowly in the future."
Nathaniel was about to reach for Rita before he noticed Zion staring coldly at him.
"You know, leniency creates failures. Would you like to create a failure, Mr. Ye?"
Thus, Nathaniel was stunned by his own son.
He was actually being lectured by his son!
A myriad of emotions swirled in Nathaniel''s chest.

On the other hand, Rita immediately burst into tears when she saw that Nathaniel refused to help
her.
"I was wrong, okay? I''m sorry, I won''t do it again."
Rita''s sobs were heart-wrenching.
After that, Mango nced at Zion.
Only then did Zion take out a handkerchief before he gave it to Rita, "Remember, our family is most
important no matter what. Even though you might face bullies out there, always remember that your
family has your back. If you were an orphan, no one would be there to help you. No matter how
good another person may be, you should never condemn your own family because of them, got it?"
"Got it."
Rita''s shoulder quivered, but she didn''t dare cry out, which distressed Mango greatly.
"Enough, Zion. Rita knows she''s wrong."
Mango was quite intimidated by the way Zion lectured Rita. Gosh, her son was going to be quite
frightening when he grew up.
Then, Zion let out a sigh and led Rita to sit down on the chair.
"Are you still hungry?"
"Of course!"
Ultimately, Rita was still a glutton and she still wanted food despite just being yelled at.
Then, Nathaniel quickly went and bought another set of of food for Rita.
The matter was settled, but Nathaniel had a new understanding towards Zion.
His son had good moral values, and it was obvious that Mango had raised him right. Furthermore,
Zion was opinionated and decisive, which made Nathaniel wonder if Zion would surpass him one
day.
Frankly, Nathaniel was quiteforted when that thought crossed his mind.
After they''d finished eating, the children were tired after they yed for a while longer in the
amusement park. Then, Nathaniel drove all of them home after that.
By the time they got back, it was already evening and the children were asleep. When Nathaniel
spotted their sleeping faces, he smiled and asked, "Are you tired? Would you like to take a nap
later?"
"I''m fine. I''m not really that tired honestly. The most important thing is that the kids enjoyed
themselves today."
Today had been the happiest days of their lives as a family, and Mango was extremely delighted.
As the car pulled up to the entrance of the vi, Mango spotted a figure standing there. Thus, she
couldn''t help but be confused.
On the other hand, Nathaniel had also seen the figure, but he never expected that it would be
Madam Hans.
He was perplexed and said in a low voice, "Take the children inside first. I''ll deal with this."
Mango had no desire to interact with the Hans Family, at least not anytime soon. So, she nodded
before Madam Hans unexpectedly stepped in front of the car.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Terrance quickly stopped Madam Hans just as Nathaniel mmed his foot on the brakes.
Thankfully, he managed to stop the car in time, but he still broke out in a cold sweat from the shock.
Although Mango was still angry, she put that aside and got out of the car to check on Madam Hans.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Mango''s anxiety was obvious to Nathaniel, but he didn''t say anything.
However, Madam Hans''s expression was frosty when she saw Mango get down from the car. She
said, "Do you still care whether an old woman like me lives or dies? I thought you had ruthlessly
abandoned us."
These words stunned Mango so much that she was rooted to the spot.
"What do you mean?"
In the meantime, Terrance quickly stopped his mother.
"Mom, no one is sure about what actually happened, so don''t just me Mango right away. At least
ask her about it first."
"What''s there to ask? Would Andrea frame her for no reason?"
Hence, Mango knew that Andrea must have said something to Madam Hans.
She tried to bottle up all of her anxiety and concern even though her chest ached faintly.
"Since you think whatever Andrea said is true, then it''s simply useless to exin myself. If so, why
are you here? Just call me guilty and kick me out instead of making all this fuss."
Mango''s voice was chilly, and what she said angered Madam Hans even more.
"Listen to what she''s saying! Mango, you''re part of the Hans Family, and everyone in our family
must pay our debts! There''s never been anyone as ruthless as you. Since you''ve done something
wrong, can''t I reprimand you as your grandmother? You nearly killed Andrea, so do you know how
this will affect you if it gets out?"
Nevertheless, Mango smiled coldly and replied, "What did I do? Are you even still my grandmother?
If so, why do I feel like you''re Andrea''s grandmother instead? I''m sorry Madam Hans, but I''m truly
quite tired today. If there''s nothing else, then please leave because I''d like to go home!"
"How dare you!"
Madam Hans didn''t expect Mango to act like this.
After Terrance saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, he quickly said, "Mom, Mango
doesn''t know what happened. There must be a misunderstanding here, so stop fussing about."
"I''m not making a fuss! She''s acting like this because all of you coddled her!"
Hence, Mango took offence to Madam Hans'' words.
"What!? Madam Hans, I''m almost thirty years old and I''ve had a single scrap of food or water from
the Hans Family. What''s more, I even have to agree to an outsider like Andrea entering the family
before I could even get my identity. So, tell me, when has the Hans Family ever coddled me?"
In truth, Mango didn''t want to get angry at first, but she couldn''t help it.
Madam Hans could favour Andrea as much as she wanted, but there was no need to force Mango
to ept Andrea because of that, right?
Furthermore, Madam Hans ignored the troubles between Andrea and Mango, and she was even
using Mango based on Andrea''s ims. Honestly, this was intolerable to Mango.
Although she had blood ties to the Hans Family, she would not ept being humiliated like this!
