The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1774

Zion noticed that there was someone at the door. He suddenly turned around and saw a trace of pain and sadness in Evangeline's eyes. However, she suppressed it the moment he looked over and raised her smiling face.

"Are you done? Rita and I are a little anxious."

Zion didn't ignore the heartache that flashed across her eyes. He immediately understood when he thought of what he had just done.

After closing the wardrobe, Zion walked over and put his arm around Evangeline's shoulder. He whispered, "I remember that you used to be bold and fearless. What's wrong with you now?" "What's wrong with me now?"

Evangeline's heart skipped a beat.

If Zion hadn't told her, she wouldn't have noticed that in the past, she had acted as she pleased. Even if she liked Zion, she would have made it public. As long as she was

happy, she wouldn't hide it. But what was going on now?

She was worried about gains and losses.

Zion was already her boyfriend. Perhaps he would soon be her husband, but why was there some depression and sadness in her heart after the initial joy?

Was it because Zion had abandoned the military career for her?

Or was it because she afraid that she won't be able to last with Zion?

Evangeline didn't know. She just felt a little flustered and uncertain.

Zion looked at her and felt that Evangeline had changed a lot. She was a little sentimental now. Most of the time, she would meditate. He didn't know why. Zion's heart ached for Evangeline, but he didn't know where to comfort her.

"Is there something wrong?"

Zion reached out and touched her forehead.

When the warm and dry hand covered Evangeline's forehead, all the uneasiness and sadness in her heart seemed to disappear in a trace.

This man was hers. No matter what happened in the future, at least he was now hers!

Thinking of this, Evangeline put her arm around Zion's waist and put her face on his chest. She whispered, "Zion, I'm fine. I just feel a little guilty because of you leaving the military camp for me. You like it so much..."

"Who told you that I left the military camp for your sake? What are you thinking about all day?"

Zion flicked her forehead with his finger.

Evangeline frowned in pain and touched her forehead. She pouted and said, "Isn't that the case? You're trying to save me..."

"I took the task and saved you by the way."

Zion's words stunned Evangeline.

By the way?

As if he had seen the confusion in Evangeline's eyes, he said with a smile, "Maximilian is a good- for- nothing person. Ever since he appeared, I got someone to keep an eye on him. Later, he went to the hospital to encourage Ivy to pester me. I knew that he was evil-minded. I didn't know what he was up to, so I asked someone to keep an eye on him. Later, he went to the Trident Ocean. That place could make me kill him quietly, but I couldn't use the army's power. That's why I told Uncle Mo that I would retire and use the power of the Ye family to kill him. I knew that you were also there, so I went back as soon as I rescued you. I blew up his cruise ship. I didn't expect that he was so lucky that he didn't die. Later, I could only take the risk of leading him to the border of our country to let Uncle Mo and others attack him in the air. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, I have been thinking about leaving the military region for a long time. You know my father's illness. He has been suffering from a high frequency of illness recently. My uncle told me that he couldn't work anymore, so I decided to withdraw and take over the Ye family. You really think too much."

Zion's words made sense, but Evangeline suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"You saved me just by the way? Zion, in your heart, I just worth a 'by the way?"

Women!

Once she heard that the man she liked didn't put her in the first place, she was furious.

Evangeline directly reached out and grabbed Zion's ear. She said fiercely, "I'm just a 'by the way' in your heart, right?"

Zion felt a little pain because of her pinch, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He leaned against her and whispered, "Am I wrong to tell you the truth?"

"You're wrong. You have to say it's for me."

"Well, it's for you, for you."

Zion's apology pleased Evangeline, so she let go of her hand. When she saw that Zion's ears were red from being twisted, her heart ached again.

"Are you stupid? Don't you know how to hide when I pinch your ears?"

"I'm afraid you'll fall."

Zion wrapped his arms around her waist and walked out.

Only then did Evangeline realize that she was in his arms. Her entire focus was on Zion. If Zion dodged, she might fall to the ground.

At least this man has some conscience.

"I'll spare you this time. Next time, if you say that I'm just worth a 'by the way', I'll teach you a lesson."

Evangeline said fiercely, but Zion directly held her fingers in his. He didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Rita was a little anxious and wanted to come back to have a look, but she was stimulated by this scene.

"I'm going back on my word. I don't want Zion to send me off. Evangeline, aren't you afraid that I'll be stuffed to death by the sweetness of you two?"

"Don't be afraid. You can also find someone to show off."

"No!"

As soon as Evangeline finished speaking, Zion's face darkened.

"How old is Rita? What boyfriend is she looking for? Think of it after a few years."

Rita immediately became depressed.

"Hey, Zion, I remember that we are twins. You already have a girlfriend. What's wrong with me finding a boyfriend?"

"You have it?"

Zion took a step forward. His stern gaze scared Rita so much that she quickly took a step back and said, "No." "Then just play for a few more years. Let me know which stinky boy dares to pursue you. I'll break his legs first."

Zion looked serious. He didn't look like he was joking at all. Evangeline was shocked and Rita exploded.

"Zion Ye, are you crazy? You're a man who doesn't know what's good for anyone. Why can you fall in love but I can't?" "Because I'm your brother! Are you not convinced?"

"I'm not convinced!"

"Then go back to mother's belly and came out before me. If you were my elder sister, I would not care about you anymore."

His words almost angered Rita to death.

Evangeline immediately smiled.

"Well, look at how you have pissed Rita off. She was just saying. After all, if she really wants to find a boyfriend, do you think you can stop her?" Evangeline tugged at Zion.

Rita said angrily, "That's right."

"What? If you dare to find a boyfriend and not let me know, I'll tell dad and Wisdom about it."

Hearing this, Rita suddenly wanted to cry.

She was already in her 20s, okay? What's wrong with finding a boyfriend?

She wanted to know what was wrong with finding a boyfriend when she was already 26 years old.
