The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1714

Carlson found himself acting shamelessly. How old was the child again? How could he came up with the idea of setting up a beauty trap. He was worried about bringing Sissaye over to a risky place. At the thought of this, he was suddenly stunned.

Although he was worried about Sissaye's safety, what about Nathaniel and Mango? Weren't they worried about Zion and Wisdom? However, they still sent their children over without any hesitation. Carlson suddenly felt a burning sensation in his throat.

He had always known that he was excellent, but he was confident when compared against Nathaniel. Now that he couldn't even compare to a woman, what right did he have to say that?

Carlson suddenly found his own weakness. He quickly issued an apology statement with his personal account and called Sissaye as soon as possible, hoping that she could tidy up and come immediately. Upon seeing Carlson's apology statement, Benson was so angry that he almost fainted. It was as if everything was exposed to the world. Everyone now knew how they treated the Dark Night Empire, and it was impossible for him to deal with it secretly.

"This unfilial son! Does he still want Sissaye to go over? Is he crazy?"

While Sissaye was still preparing, Evangeline had already arrived at the quarantine area.

Zion was surprised when he saw her.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to help you. I heard from my father that the situation here is very serious, and the security system has been attacked by hackers. Due to the infection right now, very few people dare to come over. Even if our hackers wanted to help, you won't let them intervene because it's a confidential matter. My father and I have applied for help. I have been studying computer networking for the past few years. Although I can't compare with your skills, I should be able to tackle it promptly. Also, Clarissa will help me in the country if I can't do it alone. As you know, Clarissa has asthma so she can't come. Since the two countries are now cooperative partners, any secrets can be shared."

Evangeline said calmly, but Zion suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Are you a fool? Don't you know that this is a high risk area? Also, what about yourself? If you're infected, how are you supposed to return to your country? Think about the people over there! Evangeline, can you be more mindful about this?"

Zion didn't even move when Carlson came, but he reacted aggressively upon her idea. The people beside him couldn't help but glance at Evangeline subconsciously.

This girl was special to Zion, wasn't it?

Evangeline's eyes narrowed a little. She glanced at Zion and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Zion frowned and raised his voice.

"Where are you going? What's wrong with your temper? Can't I say anything at all?"

"I'm already here. Is it going to change anything even if you're mad?"

Compared to a few years ago, Evangeline had became more calm and composed that she seemed to have changed into another person. She was indifferent and clearly unmoved by Zion's words. Seeing this, Zion frowned even more.

She was not as cute as she used to be.

When Evangeline was a child, she would fight and say whatever he wanted. Although she was a little overbearing, at least he knew what in her mind. However, the current her seemed to be wearing a fake mask, which suppressed her original nature. To be honest, Zion didn't like it.

She was the princess of a country! How could she do this to herself?

"Let's go!"

Zion pushed the computer away casually, meaning that he wanted someone else to take over the work temporarily. Then, he quickly held Evangeline's hand and said, "You look like you haven't eaten anything. Eat something first and well work on it later. Also, even if you're not infected here, you have to be quarantined for 14 days before you go back. At that time, you will be locked up in the room all alone, eating, drinking, and sleeping in the same room. It will surely drive you crazy."

Hearing his words, the corners of Evangeline's mouth twitched.

Just how much did he hate her that he even said such things to scare her? He clearly knew that she was afraid of being alone and she liked to make a scene. As such, she decided to suppress her true nature upon learning that it annoyed him. However, why did it seemed like it had gotten worse?

Zion didn't care what she was thinking. He pulled her into the room without notice, and she was startled.

"Didn't you say we're going to have dinner?"

"Wait right here!"

He let go of her hand, and took off his coat, Then, he went to the bathroom to disinfect himself before coming out. Finally, he went to the kitchen to cook. Evangeline couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Was he going to cook for her?

Zion can cook?

She suddenly grinned.

Five minutes later, Zion came out with a bowl of noodles. He put it in front of her and said, "Eat it. We're short of resources in the central area. Just put up with it." Evangeline suddenly felt that she had overthink too much.

Instant noodles?

He expect her to eat instant noodles?

Evangeline looked at him speechlessly and then went to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and took a look. There were not many ingredients in the refrigerator, but eggs, nuts, and dried noodles.

She washed her hands, stepped on the stool, and went to the stove. She washed the vegetables, cut them, and poured the water in one go.

Meanwhile, Zion was standing at the door of the kitchen. He was stunned by her cooking skills, and then a complicated emotion flashed upon his eyes.

She had changed a lot!

Zion just stood outside the kitchen and watched while she make two bowls of noodles and bring them out. Although he was not very hungry at first, the smell of it had stirred up his appetite. "This is what you call eating! And you're not allowed to snatch my bowl from me!"

Evangeline put the two bowls of noodles on the table and was about to stand up. Suddenly, Zion grabbed her wrist.

"What happened?"

"I'm fine. I've been splashed by the oil. It'll be fine in a few days."

Evangeline's skin tone was the same as Emberly's that even a slightest injury could be seen.

Zion's frown deepened. Suddenly, he asked, "Are you good at cooking?"

"Hm?"

Evangeline didn't hear him clearly. For a moment, she looked at him in a daze.

Zion suddenly let go of her and handed the first aid kit to her, "Apply some medicine. Don't get infected."

"I'm fine."

Evangeline shook her hand without a worry, as if she had returned to the tough girl she used to be. "Quick!"

Zion's voice sank a little.

Why was he getting angry again?

Evangeline was a little speechless, but she still cleaned her wound as being told. Meanwhile, Zion glanced at the wound on her hand, then looked at the bowl of noodles. He suddenly made a decision.
