Suddenly, Adeleâs attention shifted to the window.
Outside the window, a large, beautifully crafted snowman stood under the soft glow of winter.
But it lacked a nose.
Wordlessly, Adele pulled at Melonâs sleeve to get his attention.
Melon was puzzled at first, but as his gaze followed Adeleâs pointing finger to the snowman, his face transformed with excitement.
This was such a beautiful snowman!
âMelon,â Adele whispered urgently.
âThe snowman needs a nose.
â
Upon hearing this, Melon inspected the snowman more carefully and noticed that the snowman was indeed missing a nose.
Despite its missing feature, the snowman still managed to look charming.
If the snowman had a nose, it would be more beautiful.
Suddenly, an idea struck Melon.
He caught sight of a piece of fruit on a nearby table and swiftly grabbed it.
âDo you want to have some fruit?â Noticing Melonâs action, Ariana turned to him.
âMommy, I donât want to eat this,â Melon said, raising the fruit in his hand.
âThereâs a beautiful snowman outside, and I want to give him a nose.
â
At that moment, Adeleâs eyes sparkled with excitement as she chimed in eagerly, âI wanna go with Melon!â
Ariana paused, turning her gaze to the window.
Indeed, a striking snowman stood outside, though Ariana was certain it hadnât been there earlier.
âHow about this? Mommy will come with you,â Ariana suggested.
Melon shook his head, grabbing Adeleâs hand as he dashed off.
âNo need for that, Mommy.
Weâll be right back after we give the snowman a proper nose!â
Ariana rose uneasily to follow the children, but Sonia stopped her.
âLet them be.
Holdenâs people have the hospital covered, inside and out.
The kids are safe,â Sonia said, pulling Ariana back into their circle of gossip.
They delved into recent celebrity dramas, talking about a prominent male star caught in an affair.
The bombshell was dropped by his girlfriend, a singer who had triumphed in a talent contest this year.
She disclosed that they had been covertly dating for eight years.
âHave you seen her post about the matter?â Sarah inquired, her brow furrowed.
âOut of their eight years together, the man was unfaithful for six.
â
âIn my opinion, once a cheater, always a cheater.
She shouldâve left him the moment she found out about him cheating on her,â Sonia said.
She then turned to Tyler.
âDidnât that actor collaborate with you before?â
Tyler nodded and said, âYes, and now, the scandalâs gotten so bad that we canât even release the film.
â
Meanwhile, Jennifer, recalling Arianaâs company, inquired about its condition.
âEverythingâs great,â Sonia chimed in before Ariana could say something.
âHoldenâs team is running the show while Ariaâs away.
A bunch of artists from her label have snagged some top-notch endorsements.
â
Sarah, tapping her temple thoughtfully, said, âYou know, I recall a brand that never took on ambassadors, but this year, they broke tradition for one of Arianaâs talents.
