The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1504

"What are you thinking about, Zion?"

When Wisdom saw that Zion didn't answer, he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Zion quickly snapped back to reality. "Nothing, I don't think I saw her. Perhaps Mr. Ye has arranged for her to do something?"

Although he said so, Wisdom still felt a little worried when he thought of Bettany's previous behavior.

"She didn't even reply to me. I'm afraid..."

Although Wisdom didn't finish his words, Zion understood.

He held Wisdom's hand and said, "Don't think too much. The situation is somewhat special now, so we should listen to our parents and do nothing. I saw some people in our aunt's palace and they seemed to be monitoring her. Although they tried to cover up the news on the way back, I still felt that there were people around us. Although I don't know what this matter has to do with my uncle's death, I think we're being watched. Let's do nothing for now. Maybe this is the best protection for my parents."

"All right."

Wisdom nodded.

Just as they were talking, the housekeeper, Lucy, walked up to them.

"Sirs, Mr. Abbott is here."

"Uncle Maverick?"

Zion got up in a hurry and Wisdom went out with him.

Maverick looked at the layout of the Ye's Mansion and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

"Although it is antique, these furniture are really ugly."

Lilian quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "You just came to help for a while and you're not going to be staying here, so why do you have to comment so much?" "Who says I can't live here? What if I don't want to leave?"

Maverick found that he especially liked to tease his wife recently, and her serious expression was really cute.

How could she tolerate his temper in the past and be his lover?

"How are you feeling?"

Maverick couldn't help asking when he saw Lilian's grim expression.

"It's okay since I just arrived here. I think that the weather is getting worse, but I'll be fine in a couple of days."

Lilian coughed softly.

"I'll ask Bettany to have a look at you when she comes back."

Although Maverick's voice was soft, Wisdom still heard what he said.

He suddenly stopped and Lilian whispered, "Forget it, Bettany has other patients to take care of. Her patient is special, so I don't need to bother her with my minor illness." "Right, I'll find a family doctor to come in later."

"All right."

Lilian knew that Maverick would take her to the hospital directly if she didn't agree.

He had become more casual ever since he left Atlas, but he was also particularly concerned about her health.

She touched her belly. She didn't know when she could give birth to a baby. Although Maverick didn't say it, she still wanted to give birth. However, she didn't know if she could make it. When Maverick saw that she had agreed, he smiled and saw a little figure walking down from the corner of his eyes.

"Aunty, Uncle."

Wisdom greeted them politely.

When Maverick saw that it was Wisdom, the expression on his face became much softer.

"Wisdom, do you miss me? Hmm?"

He picked Wisdom up, which made the boy feel a little embarrassed.

"I do. Uncle, please put me down first."

"You're so young. Why do you have to act so mature? Are you tired? I'm telling you, a child of your age should play with water guns and have snow fights. Don't pretend to be serious all day, okay?" Maverick still remembered Nick's personality. It was said that Wisdom's personality before this was not like this, and it could be seen that the incident involving the adults had a great impact on him. If possible, Maverick hoped that Wisdom would be as carefree as he was before. He didn't want Wisdom to think about anything, and it didn't matter if he wasn't outstanding. Wisdom was a little shy.

"Uncle, please put me down first before you speak."

"I won't."

Maverick teased him and suddenly put Wisdom on his shoulder. This made Wisdom frightened and he screamed. Before he could say anything, Maverick suddenly ran out of the house. Wisdom was a little scared and quickly hugged Maverick's neck.

"Uncle!"

His voice trembling a little, but Maverick directly carried him outside and threw him to the snow pile not far away.

"Ah!"

Wisdom screamed when he flew in the air. The freezing snow instantly entered his shirt, which made him shocked by the cold.

Maverick grabbed a snowball and threw it at Wisdom.

"Are you cold? Are you upset? Come and beat me!"

Lilian was really at a loss when she saw Maverick's mischievious look.

This man was too childish now.

How could he bully a child?

"Maverick, don't let Wisdom catch a cold."

Lilian stopped him in time.

Maverick turned his head and said, "It's none of your business. This child has been forcing himself to grow up. What has he become this year? He reads medical books and studies medicine every day, does he even look like a five-year-old child?"

As he spoke, Wisdom took advantage of this opportunity to strike back. He completely smashed the snowballs in his hands onto Maverick's face.

The bone-chilling coldness made him shiver suddenly.

"You punk, how dare you sneak an attack on me?"

With that said, he began to chase Wisdom.

Wisdom turned around and ran away while he shouted, "Zion, Rita, help!"

Rita was awakened by the noise and she was pressed against the window as she looked down. Oh my, Wisdom was being bullied.

She didn't see clearly who bullied Wisdom. After that, she didn't change her clothes and ran out immediately in her cartoon pyjamas and slippers. "Bad guy! How dare you bully my brother? Let's see how I'll kick your ass!"

After saying that, Rita quickly picked up the plastic basin at the door. She made a basin of snow and threw it on Maverick.

Zion couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene from upstairs.

He also put on his shoes and joined the fight quickly.

Maverick felt a little cold after the basin of snow was thrown on him and he turned around to take a look. Rita was stunned when she saw his face.

"Uncle?"

"What are you doing? Hurry up and retreat!"

Zion dragged Rita into the house and shouted at Wisdom, "Hold uncle back first!"

"I understand!"

When Wisdom saw that his reinforcements had arrived, he stopped running and turned to pick up the snow beside him before he began to attack Maverick. Maverick thought the three kids were interesting and he wanted to see how they would deal with him. Then, he ran towards Wisdom.

Rita was still a little stunned.

"Is that person the Uncle Maverick?"

"Are you stupid? Wisdom is in danger, will you save him?"

"Yes!"

Rita quickly nodded.

Zion whispered a few words into Rita's ear, which aroused her interest.

"Yes, sir."

Rita stormed upstairs and she did not forget to bring her small plastic basin with her.

Zion quickly joined the fight and Maverick was a little frustrated by the two rascals.

Zion hid in the shadows and gave him a stab from time to time. Wisdom also changed his habit of running away and he attacked together with Zion to force Maverick to the door.

At this moment, Rita opened the window suddenly. With a crash, she poured all the snow in the plastic basin towards Maverick while she shouted, "You're a bad guy! Let's see where you can run now!" Rita was so excited that she directlt threw her plastic basin and hit Maverick's forehead directly.

Maverick suddenly froze and a cold feeling washed over him. At this time, Zion jumped onto Maverick and grabbed his neck with his small arms. Meanwhile, Wisdom swept Maverick's legs and brought him down.

Maverick never thought that he would be defeated by three children.

Lilian burst out laughing.

It was the first time that she had seen Maverick being beaten.

Maverick was out of breath when he heard Wisdom say proudly, "Do you admit defeat? Are you going to surrender or not?"

"Surrender, I surrender!"

Maverick quickly raised the flag.

Zion gave a thumbs up to the window and Rita jumped happily.

"Well, get up and clean up quickly. If you catch a cold, I'll force your uncle to make soup for you."

Lilian had been getting a little too bold recently. Not only did she ignore her husband, but she also added insult to injury.

Maverick was speechless.

"Lilian, don't you think that I'm in a very miserable state?"

"It's all your fault."

Lilian entered the house with the two children without even looking at him.

Wisdom hadn't played happily for a long time. He looked at Zion and said, "Have you played in the snow before?"

"No, but I've seen it before during training. I just applied the practical skills."

Maverick, who followed him in, suddenly became more depressed.

He had intended to make them happy, but none of them accepted treated him with mercy.

The heating was very comfortable after they entered the room. Rita ran down the stairs and handed a set of clothes with Nathaniel to Maverick.

"Uncle, quickly change your clothes. Don't catch a cold."

"Our little princess is the best."

Maverick was finally comforted, but he heard Rita say, "If you catch a cold, no one will play with us anymore. I just saw the weather forecast that there will be heavy snow in the next few days."

Rita's words made Maverick depressed.

Lilian burst out laughing.

She quickly pushed Maverick when she looked at his depressed expression. "Take the two kids to take a shower and I'll accompany Rita."

Maverick naturally listened to his wife.

Rita blinked her big eyes and looked at Lilian while she said sweetly, "Auntie, will you stay here until my daddy and mommy come back?"

"Yes, so you have to take good care of me."

Lilian stroked Rita's head and her heart softened.

Rita looked at her and suddenly said, "Auntie, can you hug me? I miss my mommy."

Rita's words brought tears to Lilian's eyes and there was a lump in her throat.

Lilian held Rita in her arms and hugged her tightly. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past the window and Lilian's eyes narrowed.

Who was it?
