Chapter 1495: Chapter 1505

“Sure, we’ll attend,” Ariana replied before passing the phone to Melon.

Melon was ecstatic, conversing joyfully with Rodney about recent kindergarten activities.

Rodney was pleased with the update.

After a while, the call ended.

Just then, Holden entered the room and inquired, “Who was Melon talking to? He sounded quite cheerful.

”

Ariana said, “Rodney invited us to a farm dinner the day after tomorrow.

Would you like to accompany us?”

“The day after tomorrow?” Holden muttered as he sat down next to Ariana.

He took a moment to think, then shook his head.

“I can’t.

I’ve got to go to Mistlyn to deal with some tasks.

”

“Okay,” Ariana replied, drying her wet hair with a towel.

She hadn’t expected him to be free anyway.

Holden took the towel from her and started drying her hair for her.

He suggested, “Maybe you should let Devin drive you around from now on.

”

“Why? I can drive myself,” Ariana said, confused.

“It’s safer with Devin,” Holden said in a way that didn’t leave room for debate.

“No, thanks,” Ariana said, even though she sensed his insistence.

“Isn’t the bodyguards enough? We don’t need Devin to do the extra work here.

”

“That’s not enough,” Holden replied firmly.

“You almost got hit by a car today.

I won’t feel

relieved unless Devin’s with you.

”

Ariana sighed, nudged her nose against Holden’s, and said, “I’m fine.

”

But the worry in his eyes made her reconsider.

“Okay, okay.

We’ll do it your way,” she conceded.

Just as she said that, her phone beeped twice.

Ariana checked it.

There were messages about the gaming event tomorrow.

Sonia had said in the group chat, “I’m going! I need this game to mend my broken heart!”

The group started teasing Sonia a bit, and soon, Tyler tagged Ariana.

“I’m free tomorrow afternoon.

I can go to the event.

”

“What about Cole?” Ariana asked.

“I’ll ask him about it,” Tyler replied.

Soon, Tyler sent another message.

“He’s free.

He’ll come.

”

Now that everyone was on board, Ariana got ready for the event, not noticing the sad look on Holden’s face as he watched her get absorbed in her messages.

Seeing Ariana making plans without asking him, Holden finally spoke up.

“You aren’t even going to check if I’m free tomorrow?”

Ariana looked at him, a bit surprised.

“Wait, you’re free? I was just about to ask someone else.

”
