“Adele, wait!” Shawn called.
Alas, it was too late.
Adele had already run after Ariana.
The little girl followed Ariana closely, her head lowered in silence.
Seeing Adele’s reluctance to part with her, a sense of tenderness welled up in Ariana.
She crouched down to be at the girl’s eye level and said in a soothing tone, “Honey, we'll come visit again soon, | promise. But Melon and | have to go home now.”
Taking advantage of Adele’s hesitation, Melon piped up hopefully, “Mom, can we take her home with us? We can play together!” All this time, the little girl’s eyes were fixed on the floor and she held her doll tightly without making a sound.
Seeing that, Shawn suggested, “Why don’t you wait here a Little longer? Mr. Fredrick’s meeting should be over soon. You can see him before you leave.”
Ariana hesitated.
She could tell the kids didn’t want to part ways.
Moreover, since Holden had helped her and her son today, she thought it was only normal that she thanked him in person. Thinking of that, she looked at Shawn and asked, “Do you know at what time his meeting will be over?”
Shawn didn’t know the exact time, so he glanced at his watch and said quickly, “Let me go check. Please watch Adele while I’m gone.”
“Of course,” Ariana replied with a faint smile.
After Shawn had left for a while, the door to the room was abruptly pushed open.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Ariana expected to see Holden, so she was shocked when she instead saw Sadie walking into the room.
The first thing Ariana noticed was Sadie’s bruised and swollen face.
Those were the injuries from her altercation with Sonia.
