âWhat?â Sonia exclaimed.
With a hint of disgust, she shook her head and said, âMaybe Holden isnât fond of this abnormal child, or perhaps heâs hoping for a boy.
That might be why heâs postponing the wedding.
â
Hearing this, Ariana frowned.
While she didnât know Holden well, he didnât strike her as someone who would prefer sons over daughters based on their prior interactions.
However, from what she just witnessed, it did seem like Sadie was neglecting Adele.
Could it be true that Holden didnât like Adele?
Arianaâs heart swirled with a mix of concern and frustration as she couldnât help but worry about Adele.
It had been five Long years since she last had any contact with Holden, and though she knew she didnât have the right to say anything, the feeling of compassion for the Little one lingered within her.
âAlright, enough fretting about other peopleâs kids.
Letâs focus on your own little son.
He must be getting all antsy at home now,â Sonia suggested, trying to shift the topic.
She could see right through Arianaâs thoughts.
She playfully pulled her along as they made their way outside.
Ariana stole a quick glance at the time and confirmed it was indeed getting late.
This prompted them to pick up their pace.
Shortly after, Soniaâs car pulled up in front of a villa.
Ariana had bought this villa for herself about two years ago.
As Ariana came out of the car, an utterly adorable little boy came darting from the villa.
He had a tender complexion and exuded a natural charm, even at his tender age.
He dashed towards Ariana, threw himself on her, hugged her leg, and cheerfully shouted, âMommy, youâre finally back!â
âs
Ariana burst into laughter and scooped him up.
She planting a sweet ki*s on his cheek as she asked, âHey, did you follow Mr.
Chadwickâs instructions while I was away?â
âI did! But I still missed you so much.
Itâs been a whole afternoon without seeing you, and Iâve missed you so much that my heart feels like itâs going to break,â Melon said, snuggling warmly into her embrace.
Ariana found it both amusing and heart-melting.
She couldnât help but wonder where he picked up all these adorable words.
Melon was always high spirited.
He knew exactly how to steal peopleâs hearts.
Right at that moment, Sonia playfully chimed in, âHey, Melon, do you miss your awesome godmother?â
Melon tilted his head, putting on a show of thinking.
âHmm,â Sonia went on, teasingly, âWell, even if you donât miss me, thatâs fine.
Itâs just a shame that all those cool toy robots, transforming cars, and figurines in my car will go to waste.
â
âI do miss a pretty godmother Like you!â Melon immediately replied, his eyes sparkling with delight.
Sonia couldnât resist his charm and pulled him into a tight hug.
They both burst into Laughter, relishing the joy of the moment.

Just then, a figure approached them from behind.
Sonia noticed, promptly straightened up, and held Melon properly.
With a formal tone, she greeted, âHello, Dr.
Chadwick.
â
Ariana couldnât suppress a soft chuckle as she observed Soniaâs demeanor in the presence of Mitchel.
It was as though Sonia transformed into an eager student, meeting her revered teacher.
Ariana turned around gracefully, offering Mitchel a warm smile.
It wasnât surprising, for over the past five years, Mitchel had honed an even stronger academic aura and achieved remarkable feats in the field of medicine.
After exchanging pleasantries, the four of them entered the villa.
The table was adorned with dishes and a cake awaited them.
Sonia lovingly lifted Melon onto a chair, and together, the three adults sang a heartfelt birthday song, their hands clapping in rhythm.
Melon sat obediently, his bright eyes fixated on the tempting cake before him.
