All Novel Sweet
Chapter 925
Ariana cradled the coffee cup delicately in her hands, a bitter smile playing on her lips as she slowly shook her head.
After encountering someone as dazzling and captivating as Theodore during her most naive and impressionable years, how could she possibly forget and move on from a love like that? Deep within her heart, she knew she might never fully overcome him in this lifetime.
Aweighted silence settled between them for a fleeting moment. Kindred spirits bound by grief, they exchanged understanding smiles, a wordless communion passing between their eyes. Through unspoken accord, they deftly shifted the conversation to lighter subjects.
They engaged in conversation about mundane things, catching up on each other’s lives over the past five years. After talking for a while, Ariana stole a glance at her watch, realizing she needed to pick up Melon soon. She bid Jayson a warm goodbye and then made her way to her car, driving over to Sonia’s place.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
The moment Ariana unlocked the front door and stepped inside, she was greeted by a rather peculiar scene unfolding at the dining table.
Sonia was adorned in a sweeping black wizard’s cloak and a pointy witch’s hat, while Melon sported a Long blonde wig with princess curls and a frilly pink ballgown. Even the dining table itself was draped in rich purple velvet, adorned like a medieval royal court.
Ariana stood momentarily frozen in surprise before releasing an exasperated yet amused sigh. She should have anticipated that leaving those two alone for the day would likely result in them turning the house upside down with their dramatic antics.
“Mommy, you're baci Melon exclaimed, his eyes crinkling with delight at the sight of Ariana’s return.
However, Ariana was all too familiar with this little rascal’s ways. His sweet demeanor likely concealed a significant request or favor he was soon to ask of her.
With enthusiasm, Melon patted the empty chair beside him, beckoning Ariana to join them at the table. Observing the sly and eager glint in her son’s eyes, Ariana sighed and reluctantly took her seat.
“Alright, no need to beat around the bush. What is it that you want Mommy to do for you this time?”
With a mischievous grin, Melon playfully grabbed Ariana’s arm and snuggled up close. “Mommy, | want to go to a costume ball,” he declared.
“Costume ball?” Ariana Looked over at Sonia questioningly.
“Where is this ball going to be held?”
Sonia’s smile brightened as she cheerfully explained, “The Dvie Jewelry Auction House is hosting a masquerade gala tonight on a cruise ship. They sent me an invitation, and | think you should come with us too!”
