Chapter 1485: Chapter 1495

Upon hearing Holden’s words, Ariana’s mind wandered back to the recent incident.

She couldn’t retort.

After a pause, Holden added, “My bodyguards will accompany you discreetly; they won’t disrupt your daily activities in any way.

”

Ariana replied, “I’m not convinced it’s needed.

” Given her lack of experience with bodyguards, the thought of constant surveillance made her feel uneasy.

His gaze unwavering, Holden said firmly, “It’s a necessity.

I can’t risk anything happening to you.

”

Ariana hesitated before choosing to stay quiet.

Observing her reluctance, Holden made a concerted effort to persuade her, eventually winning her over with a nod of agreement.

Outside the dessert shop, they composed themselves before pushing open the door and entering.

Spotting them, Melon rushed over excitedly and wrapped himself around Ariana’s legs.

Holding up a folded piece of paper, he exclaimed, “Mommy, look at this! Isn’t the origami I made with Adele beautiful?”

“Yeah, you’ve done a great job!” Ariana complimented him with a smile, patting Melon’s head affectionately.

Melon’s kindergarten would host a party to showcase the children’s handicrafts soon.

Pleased with Ariana’s approval, Melon looked happily at Ariana and Holden, asking eagerly, “Will you both come to the party?”

‘s

Holden and Ariana shared a glance and said, “Of course.

”

“Awesome!” Melon skipped joyfully to Adele and asked eagerly, “Are you coming to the party, too, Adele?”

Munching on biscuits with her hands, Adele nodded and whispered softly, “Yes.

”

With several days passing without any communication from Holden.

Sadie’s anxiety grew.

Determined, she dressed impeccably and made her way to the BRD Group to see Holden.

Upon entering the BRD Group lobby, Sadie was halted before she could reach the elevator.

The receptionist, looking polite, informed her, “I apologize, but without an appointment, you cannot proceed upstairs.

”

Sadie’s frustration was evident.

It had only been a few days since the last time she had come here.

How dare the receptionist deny her entry?

Frowning, Sadie said to the receptionist, “Don’t you recognize me? I’m Sadie Pierre, Holden’s fiancée.

I need to see him.

”

The receptionist responded resignedly, “I know who you are, Miss Pierre, but Mr.

Fredrick is currently unavailable to meet any visitor as he’s occupied with urgent matters.

”

“Visitor? I’m more than just a visitor!” Sadie exclaimed, her frustration escalating.

“I’m the mother of his child! We’re family!”

Trying to bypass reception, Sadie was promptly halted.

The receptionist said, “Apologies, Miss Pierre, but Mr.

Fredrick is currently unavailable to see anyone.

”

Raising her voice, Sadie said, “I’m not just anyone! I want to see Adele! I need to see my daughter!”

Recognizing Sadie’s determination and being mindful of her pregnancy, the receptionist refrained from pressing further and promptly summoned Devin to address the matter.
