Chapter 903


    The reporter was slightly evasive being inquired by Mango this way.


    "Mrs. Ye, I asked the question first, right?"


    "Is it necessary for me to answer your question?"


    Mango''s smile had already turned much colder.


    Zion said lightly, "If Mommy gets sent to the emergency room because she''s furious as you, I''m


    afraid that daddy will kill you."


    The reporter involuntarily took a step back.


    Mango abruptly took a step forward and said coldly, "F*ck off!"


    The reporter wanted to utter something else, but she made way for her as she was startled by


    Mango''s ferocious manner.


    Mango grabbed Zion''s hand and got on the car. She told Ned, "Help me check where the reporters


    came from. I don''t think that they are legit reports."


    "Okay, Madam."


    Ned immediately asked someone to investigate on the previous matter.


    Mango and Zion sat in the back seat and went straight to the militarypound. Along the way,


    they found that someone was tailing them. It was likely the previous reporter.


    She sneered. "Heh! Let her follow us. I want to see how she can get into the militarypound."


    As expected, the car was stopped at the gate of the militarypound.


    Mango''s car drove straight in.


    She let out a sigh of relief when she saw the reporter behind her arguing with the sentinels but to no


    avail.


    Perhaps due to her pregnancy, she had been particrly agitated recently and was often in a bad


    mood.


    The car drove to Brantley''s house entrance. Mango and Zion got out of the car and walked in


    straight.


    Upon seeing the arrival of Mango and Zion, Brantley was slightly taken aback subconsciously.


    "Mango? Zion? Why are you guys here?"


    "Well? Are you not weing us?"


    Mango looked as if she would leave at once if Brantley didn''t wee her. Brantley was so terrified


    that he quickly stopped her.


    "No! Of course not! I''m just a little puzzled. You just mentioned in the hospital just now that you


    would wait for Nathan ande back with him."


    "Can''t I change my mind?"


    Mango looked like a mischievous child.


    Brantley paused a moment and smiled dotingly before saying, "Sure, you can say anything you


    want."


    Only then did Mangough.


    Meanwhile, Zion greeted Brantley politely.


    "Great-grandpa, nice to meet you. Please ignore my mommy''s attitude. She''s pregnant, so she''s


    been acting a little spoiled recently.


    Both Mango and Brantley were stunned. Hereafter, Brantley burst intoughter.


    "Yeah, she is! You should ask your grandma to keep herpany for now. Why don''t you go to the


    study with me for a bit?"


    It seemed like he had something to say to Zion.


    Zion quickly nodded.


    Mango was a little depressed.


    How could her own son despise her?


    Was she acting too spoilt?


    Right then, Queena came out of her room after hearing their voice. When she saw Mango, she


    immediately smiled.


    "You''re here?"


    "Yeah, I was bored cause I was alone in the hospital. Zion wanted to visit you too. He will head back


    to the military region, so I don''t he''ll have time toe back and visit you soon."


    Mango quickly walked over.


    She helped Queena on the sofa.


    "I''m not that weak..."


    "I just like to hold you."


    Whenever Mango thought that there was not much time left for Queena, she felt upset indeed.


    "Okay, it''s up to you. Let''s go to the kitchen and cook something delicious for Zionter, okay?"


    "Can you do it?"


    Mango was slightly worried.


    Queena smiled and said, "I''m fine. I''ll listen to you."


    Upon seeing her reaction, Mango said happily, "I''m going to cook. Will you lend me a hand?"


    "Sure, no problem."


    Both of them went to the kitchen.


    After Zion followed Brantley to enter the study, Brantley took something out from his drawer and


    passed it to Zion.


    "Take a look at it. Do you like it?"


    Zion took it. He felt happy instantly once he opened it.


    "Isn''t this a remote control of the fourth generation drone?"


    "That''s good. You can tell which generation it''s merely from the remote control. You''re indeed


    talented."


    Brantley touched his head with gratification and whispered, "Only two drones are being innovated in


    our military region, but they have disappeared. Now, we only have the remote controls left. I know


    that you''re well-versed inputers. Zion, I do hope that you can find the drones for you because I


    have failed to do so. Is that okay?"


    "Sure, no problem!"


    Zion replied confidently.


    He adorably touched the remote and couldn''t wait to see what the drone looked like.


    He had heard about this drone before, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Even if there


    was only one remote control, Zion was still extremely enthusiastic.


    Seeing how Zion was interested inputers, Brantley finally smiled.


    "Both the Ye Family and our Xiao family have a talent now."


    "Wasn''t Mr. Ye a talent before he retired?"


    Zion had spoken for his father subconsciously.


    Brantley said in a regretful tone, "Well...our family has dragged him down. If he had a sibling, he


    wouldn''t have toe back to inherit the family business. If he stayed in the military area, your


    father would have achieved great heights. What a pity!"


    "It''s not a pity, though. Mr. Ye has done a good job in running the business as well."


    Zion''s words made Brantley slightly stunned. He couldn''t have imagined that a four-year-old child


    had uttered these remarks.


    Seeing Brantley in a daze, Zion quickly smiled and asked, "Isn''t that so?"


    "Yes you''re right."


    Brantley felt that Zion shouldn''t be underestimated as Zion had spoken the truth.


    This child would definitely have a bright future.


    "Do your best in the military. If you encounter any problem, you can look for Mateo at any time, or


    even find me. I will definitely help you."


    "I don''t need it because I want to create my own future. Brantley, you can rest assured that I will not


    give up the military region halfway. I have siblings now that Mommy is pregnant again. The Ye


    family will not let me inherit the business. So, don''t worry about it."


    Zion could clearly see that Brantley regretted the fact that he couldn''t let Nathaniel what he wanted.


    Though he didn''t mention it clearly, he could still feel the disappointment between the lines.


    He decided to make up for this.


    Brantley''s eyes suddenly became moistened.


    "What a good child! Your mommy is lucky to have a son like you."


    "Nope, it''s my blessing to have a mommy like her."


    Zionughed after he finished speaking.


    Brantley liked him a lot.


    Both of them stayed in the study for a while before walking out. Then, they saw Mango and Queena


    conversing andughing while cooking in the kitchen.


    "Aww...mommy hasn''t cooked for a long time. I miss her cooking."


    Zion said with a pout.


    "Really? I''m much better than you. She cooked for me recently. Heh!"


    Upon seeing Brantley''s triumph expression, Zion frowned and said, "Great-grandpa, you''re rude."


    "Well, I''m just telling you the truth."


    Brantley continued to tease Zion.


    Zion snorted and decided to ignore him.


    He sat on the sofa and turned on the television.


    Then, he switched it to the military channel and watched attentively.


    Brantley had been a soldier for a lifetime, so he liked watching military news. Thus, both of them


    came to an understanding and directly sat together to watch it.


    When Mango and Queena came out after finished cooking, they saw such a harmonious scene.


    Queena was stunned for a moment, but Mango didn''t think much of it. Zion loved to watch military


    channels at home as well, so she was used to it.


    "Does Zion understand what they''re talking about even though he''s so young?"


    "Hah! Zion isn''t a normal child. He''s awesome."


    Mango said proudly, then she led Queena to the dining room and informed those two on the sofa,


    "It''s time to eat."


    "Oh, okay."


    Only then did Brantley get up and pull Zion to wash his hands before they ate.


    There were four dishes, along with a bowl of soup. It was not sumptuous, but it made everyone feel


    warm indeed.


    After the meal, Mango was feeling lethargic.


    She sat down on the couch, while Zion went to the kitchen and wash some fruits for her.


    "Great-grandpa, grandma, mommy, let''s eat some fruit."


    "Good boy!"


    Brantley adored him even more, but Queena felt a little distressed for him.


    "How can you let a child wash fruit? He''s still young, isn''t he?"


    "Mom, it''s okay. It''s good for him to exercise. After all, boys can''t be too spoiled."


    Mango took a bite on an apple.


    Queena couldn''t agree with her remarks.


    "He''s only four years old, so he''s too young for this kind of exercise. Zion,e to me. Let me hug


    you."


    Zion wanted to resist the act, but he saw Mango nodding when he nced at her. He walked over


    helplessly thereupon and stretched out towards Queena.


    "Grandma, give me a hug."


    "Okay, let me hug you."


    Queena hugged Zion''s tiny figure, and she found sad all of a sudden.


    She couldn''t help but think of how Mango had been like when she was a kid.


    Was she as clever and obedient as Zion?


    She suddenly felt that her life had been aplete failure.


    She did not participate in her daughters'' growth. She missed their childhood and adulthood too, so


    she had not seen them grown up their whole life!


    If she could turn back the time and choose again, she would definitely not leave Mango behind


    during the past.


    Mango, her kind- hearted daughter, had forgiven her, but she couldn''t forgive herself now that she


    was ill. Perhaps it was God''s punishment for her.


    However, Mango knew all the thoughts in Queena''s mind. Seeing that her eyes tearing up, she


    quickly said, "Mom, don''t hold Zion too tight. He''s running out of breath."


    Hearing this, Queena immediately let go of Zion and asked anxiously, "Oh my God, are you alright?


    I''m sorry! I became too agitated."


    "It''s okay, grandma''s embrace is so warm, just like mommy''s."


    Zion grinned.


    Queena''s eyes suddenly became moisten in an instant.


    "I feel sorry for both you and your mommy."


    "Mom, you''re mentioning this again."


    Mango knew that Queena would never be let go of her past. She could only change the subject to


    distract Queena''s attention away from her sorrow.

    "Okay...I''ll stop now."


    Queena had never thought that she could sit peacefully with her daughter and chat happily with her


    grandson. This was enough.


    Zion stayed with both Queena and Mateo for a moment before Mateo arrived. However, he had a


    dark expression. After greeting Brantley, he looked at Mango and hesitated.


    "What''s wrong, Mateo? Zion can''t go back to the military? Or..."


    "It''s not about Zion."


    Mateo quickly shook his head. Seeing the puzzled expression on Mango''s face, he finally


    suppressed it.


    "It''s okay. I have something to do. I can solve it by myself."


    As he spoke, he brought Zion out of Brantley''s house. Right at the moment, Brantley received a call.


    He nced at Mango and went straight to his study.


    Mango suddenly felt a little uneasy.
