The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1731

Thinking of how Evangeline had pursued him all over the world all these years, Zion's heart ached for her.

If Rita had pursued a man all over the world for so many years, he would have broken the man's legs.

Therefore, Zion really cared about Evangeline. He felt sorry for her because he knew that there would never be another woman in the world who treated him like this.

He didn't know if it was love. He only knew that he was used to Evangeline's existence. Just like air and water, he couldn't live without it.

Every time he finished his task, he would see such a flamboyant woman standing there and waving at him as soon as he walked out of the mission area. Her bright smile seemed to make all his hard work worth it.

Zion lay on the bed, recalling all the things that had happened between him and Evangeline over the years. The arc of his smile grew bigger and bigger.

This girl was really annoying when she was a child. When he saw her, he couldn't help frowning. He felt uncomfortable all over, but why did he change?

Was it because she climbed over the wall at night and came to him? Or was it because she suddenly fainted when she fought with him during her puberty, and then the blood on her butt scared him so much that his face turned pale and he ran to see the doctor with her in his arms. As a result, he was told that she was just in her period and was embarrassed? Or was it because the love letter that the other girls gave him was torn to shreds in front of him and she threatened those girls to beat anyone who dared to pursue him until their parents couldn't recognize them?

Because of Evangeline, Zion didn't have any pursuers until he was 20 years old now. If he didn't take this girl seriously, he would be single for the rest of his life.

Thinking of the kiss not long ago, Zion suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked his thin lips. It seemed to be stained with Evangeline's temperature and smell, which made people feel anxious and even hot.

What a monster!

Zion shook his head, trying to cast those dirty scenes out of his mind. However, he felt that Evangeline's face was getting clearer and clearer. She smiled sweetly, got angry, was naughty, and hid her grievances.

He simply sat up and went downstairs to pour a glass of water. He was shocked when he saw someone standing in the living room.

His ears had gone deaf. He didn't even know when someone entered the room.

"Why are you here?"

Zion casually poured a cup of water and handed it to Sissaye.

Sissaye looked at Zion and took over the water. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

"What's wrong? What's so hard to explain? Is it because you reported that I eliminate Evangeline's appearance at the kidnapping scene?"

Zion spoke in a calm tone, but Sissaye's hand was tightly gripping the glass. She was a little flustered and a little nervous.

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing? You just did what you should do. I violated the rules."

Zion took a sip of water, then pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit."

Sissaye was a little reserved.

She and Zion grew up together, and the time they spent together was longer than the time they spent with their parents.

They trained together, completed missions together, and participated in the competition together too. She spent almost all her life with him, but she still felt that she was far away from Zion.

He was very kind to her, way too kind that people thought that they were a couple. Even she thought so, but the person he liked was Evangeline!

If she was not sure before, she would have known when she learned that Zion had cleared the surveillance video for Evangeline.

Zion was a very disciplined person. He was so strict with himself that he made people doubt his life, but he had made such a crime on Evangeline. "Why?"

Sissaye knew that she shouldn't have asked, but she still asked.

She would be very upset if she didn't ask.

Looking at Sissaye's sad eyes, Zion couldn't help sighing and said, "I don't know why, but I did it subconsciously. When I noticed it, it was done." "Zion, you can't do this!"

"Sissaye."

Zion suddenly raised his voice, causing Sissaye to pause for a moment. Then, she realized that she was a little emotional.

She bit her lower lip, feeling conflicted.

Should she tell him that she liked him now?

"Zion, I..."

"I've already decided to be with Evangeline."

Zion's words stunned Sissaye.

She seemed to hear the sound of her heart being broken.

"Do you like her? Didn't you hate her before?"

Zion touched the edge of the cup and said with a gentle look in his eyes, "Maybe I used to hate her, but it's not easy for a girl to keep loving you for twenty years, right?"

"Is that why you accepted her? I have been with you for more than ten years."

"That's different. Sissaye, I've always treated you as my younger sister. In my heart, you and Rita are the same. I still remember when I first met you, you were so skinny that it made my heart ached. You might not know that when my younger sister was born, her kidneys were poor. She spent all her time in the hospital before she turned four. At that time, her greatest desire was to go out and play with children of the same age as her. She was shorter than other children. I saw you at that time as if I had seen my younger sister before, so I hoped that you could be reborn and have a companion you can rely on."

Sissaye didn't know what to say.

Sister?

She didn't want to be his sister!

From the beginning of love until now, she and her father and even everyone hoped that they could be a couple. Didn't he know?

Sissaye was unwilling to give up.

"Which part of me is inferior to her? Whatever she did for you, I can do it for you too. Zion, I like you! I don't believe that you can't tell after so many years!"

Sissaye finally opened her mouth, but tears welled up in her eyes.

She didn't want to say that at this time. She wanted Zion to completely accept her and then say her feelings. But why did it become that Evangeline took the lead? How did she lose to Evangeline?

She was dignified, elegant, and considerate. All these years, she had been silently concerned about Zion. She could go to the battlefield for Sisella. Why couldn't she compare with Evangeline who was nothing?

Evangeline had a bad temper. She was so arrogant and overbearing. She didn't look like a girl at all. Why did he like her?

After all, Zion felt uncomfortable.

He looked at Sissaye and said in a low voice, "Sissaye, is there anyone else in your eyes other than me? Actually, you can look at the others around you. There is someone more worthy of your sacrifice." "Zion? Do you have anyone else in your eyes? How do you know that there's no one else worthy of your love other than Evangeline?"

Sissaye's opposition immediately stunned Zion.

Other people?

His eyes and mind were all occupied by Evangeline. How could he tolerate anyone else?
