Chapter 794
"What''s that?"
Nathaniel ran out in a hurry while Mateo pulled Mango behind him and stood with a protective
posture.
Mango wanted to go too but she could only stay behind Mateo obediently as he guarded her and
left no gap between them.
On the other hand, Nathaniel rushed out and he saw fireworks with confetti flying up into the sky as
loud explosive sounds came to his ears.
"Zion Ye!"
Nathaniel yelled in anger as he saw Zionmanding a boy who was elder than him to release the
fireworks.
However, Zion ran towards Nathaniel with a smile when he saw Nathanieling out.
"Mr. Ye! Look, it''s beautiful, isn''t it? This is my gift for mommy and my younger sibling in her belly!"
"Gift my ass!"
Nathaniel flicked his finger on Zion''s forehead without a second thought.
"Do you know that you''re frightening the baby in mommy''s belly?"
"What! Why did you hit me when I just wanted to give you and mommy a surprise?"
Zion''s little nose scrunched up as he rubbed his head and said aggrievedly.
Nathaniel took a deep breath as he told himself that this devilish child in front of him was his own
biological son.
On the other side, Mateo noticed that Nathaniel hadn''te back in for a long time, so he pulled
Mango out with him to take a look. Then, his mind went nk the moment he saw Zion.
"How did you return?"
"I came back by car and I requested a leave from the captain."
Zion stood straight immediately and made a military salute the moment he saw Mateo.
"Hello, chief!1''
"Alright, rx and don''t do this as we''re at home."
On the other hand, Mango was really happy when she saw Zion.
"Zion? Come here and let me hug you! What a brat, you didn''t even call me beforeing home
and I missed you so much!"
"Mommy, I miss you too."
Zion ran to Mango in a sh and he hugged her tightly.
"Mommy, Mr. Ye bullied me!"
Zionined in an instant.
Mango paused for a moment before asking, "What''s wrong?"
"This brat was putting fireworks outside the house and he didn''t even inform us, so I flicked his
forehead as he frightened you."
Nathaniel ounted the situation to Mango hastily.
However, Zion said indignantly, "I''m just giving a small celebration for mommy and the baby that
she''s carrying, so how can you hit me so unreasonably? Mommy, he''s bullying me."
Zion looked at Mango with an extremely aggrieved expression as he spoke and his doe eyes were
glimmering.
At the sight of this, Mango''s heart ached as she missed her son a lot considering that it had been a
long time since shest saw Zion. So, she red at Nathaniel now that Zion was looking at her with
such an expression.
"How can you do this? Zion doesn''t know about it as he''s still young and he has a good intention
anyway. Zion, the fireworks are really beautiful and I like them very much! Come here and let me
hug you!"
Mango bent down to carry Zion as she spoke while Zion opened his arms to let Mango lift him up.
However, Nathaniel and Mateo stepped forward at the same time instantly.
"Mango, don''t move!"
"Mango, you can''t carry him now that you''re pregnant!"
Zion was shocked by the two men''s nervous looks.
"Mommy, what''s wrong?"
Mango felt that the two adults were making a big fuss over a minor issue.
"I''m fine and you don''t have to be so worried as I''m just pregnant. I worked three times a day when I
was pregnant with Zion and Rita five years ago and I still gave birth to them safely."
Mango didn''t even bother to look at them as she spoke and she directly picked up Zion before
saying happily, "I''ll cook some delicious food for you, would you like that?"
"Yes!"
"Will you leave again?"
"Yeah as I just have a day off."
Mango walked into the house with Zion and they were all smiles as they spoke without even
bothering to look at Nathaniel and Mateo.
The two men looked at each other and smiled helplessly as they had beenpletely ignored.
Then, they offered each other a cigarette.
"I have no idea how hard had it been for Mango when she was pregnant five years ago and I didn''t
want to investigate it as I was afraid that I would hate myself more after I knew what happened.
However, after hearing what Mango said just now, I realized that I have not only missed the infancy
period of the children, but also everything about Mango during her pregnancy. So, I will ask
someone to check on her pastter and I should know what had she gone through during the five
years no matter what."
Mateo wasn''t as angry anymore after hearing Nathaniel''s words.
"My niece suffered so much because of you five years ago and if you dare to leave her unhappy
again in this life, I swear to make you pay the price even if that means I have to sacrifice the Hans
family. Let me warn you, I''ll not let you bully Mango so easily."
"Got it, uncle."
Nathaniel and Mateo were smoking outside the house while Mango carried Zion into the living
room.
"Zion, why have you been staying in the army all the time? Are you not nning toe home?"
Mango hoped that her son would be by her side as this kid had been keeping herpany for the
past five years. Mango was really not used to it now that she couldn''t see Zion at home although
she was back now.
Zion wrapped his arms around Mango''s neck and said in an endearing tone, "Mommy, I like the
barracks very much and great-uncle said that I can live in the military area. Also, I can attend the
primary and secondary school in the military base or even go to a military school. So, can''t I stay
there, mommy?"
This was not the first time Zion expressed his anticipation and fondness for the army base.
Previously, he wanted to attend a medical school because of certain happenings but he realized
that he really liked the military base after having several training sessions there.
Mango noticed the earnestness in her son''s eyes and she didn''t have the heart to reject him.
Zion was such a young child yet he was leaving his parents to train in the military base and it was
very likely that he could go to wars just like his dad in the future. However, Mango was really
reluctant to part with him.
"Must you stay in the barracks? We could also visit the ce during our winter and summer
vacations... Do you not want to stay by side?"
"I would love to stay by your side but you already have Wisdom and Rita with you and even another
younger kid to apany you in the future. Besides, I cane back to visit you during the
summer and winter holidays whenever I miss you. Do you know that there''s an instructor in the
army who has really goodputer skills? I really want to learn from him as I''m nopare to him
at all."
Zion was a decisive kid and Mango knew about this.
She was really reluctant to part with him but she didn''t want to go against his dreams as she saw
how determined he was.
Mango caressed Zion''s head and said, "I can let you go but you have to promise me that you must
come back to visit me during your holidays, okay? I have Wisdom and Rita by my side and probably
even another child in the future but I cherish all of you equally. So, none of them can rece you in
my heart and I''ll always love and treasure you, do you understand?"
"Got it, mommy! I love you very very much!"
Mangoughed heartily as Zion pressed his cheeks against her face and he kept acting cute like an
adorable kid.
Then, Nathaniel and Mateo saw the warm-hearted and loving interaction between Mango and Zion
when they came in.
Suddenly, Mateo rubbed his nose and said, "Are you going to keep your promise?"
"What promise?"
Nathaniel was utterly confused.
What was Mateo talking about?
Mateo red at him and said in a low voice, "Didn''t you say that you''ll ask all your female
employees to list down their besties and let them go on a blind date with me? I want to get married
too... No, I want a son to be exact."
Nathaniel looked at Mateo as if he was a madman and he didn''t even bother to utter a word to him
as he walked straight to Zion and Mango.
"Stinky brat,e down now as your mom''s body won''t be able to take your weight for long."
"It''s okay as I like my son being so attached to me."
Mango smiled.
It was only then that Zion noticed Nathaniel''s nervous expression and he asked in confusion,
"Mommy, can''t you carry me now that you''re pregnant?" "That''s not a problem! I can lift you up now
but it will no longer be possible in a few months, so I shall carry you now while I can."
Mango teased Zion while Nathaniel watched them from beside with great anxiety and perturbation.
Mateo said directly at the sight of this, "I''ll go to the kitchen to cook for all of you."
"Uncle, were you a chef in the army?"
Mateo red at Nathaniel and said, "Don''t praise me just because I''m helping you out now... You''ll
need to cook all the time in the future."
"Well, I''m very happy and willing to cook for my wife and children."
Mateo felt helpless as he couldn''t refute Nathaniel''s words, so he went to the kitchen directly.
Mango smiled when she saw this scene.
"Can you stop attacking Mateo so harshly every single time?"
"I''m doing this for his sake so that he can remember that he''s no longer young and that he should
get married soon. It''s only by doing so that he wouldn''t embarrass himself in front of his ancestors."
Zion burst intoughter after hearing Nathaniel''s words.
"He''s known as the cold-blooded evil in the army as he''s very strict, though he''s much gentler at
home. The kids in the military would feel so sorry for me if they knew that he is my great-uncle."
Mango thought that what his son said about Mateo was impossible.
"Really?"
"It''s absolutely true, mommy. Let me show you a valuable item that I specially got for you!"
Zion took out a jade from his pocket mysteriously and handed it over to Mango.
"What do you think?"
However, Nathaniel''s expression changed the moment he saw the jade.
"Where did you get this from?"
"Someone was selling antiques by the roadside and I bought this jade as I thought that it''s really
beautiful...but it cost me one thousand dors, so I totally ran out of money now."
Zion rambled on and he was afraid that Mango would be sad, so he smiled and said, "Still, it doesn''t
matter as long as you like it!"
"I like it very much, thank you, my son!"
Mango took the jade from Zion but Nathaniel snatched it away unexpectedly in an instant. Then, he
grabbed hold of Zion and said, "Bring me to the person who sold this jade to you, quick!"
"What''s wrong? Nathan, don''t scare the child!"

Mango hurriedly asked as she noticed Nathaniel''s weird expression. Unfortunately, Nathaniel didn''t
have much time to exin it to her and he took Zion before leaving the Ye Family''s house.
