All Novel Sweet
Chapter 977
Melon's astute observation from earlier that day kept echoing in her mind, haunting her thoughts. Her mind racing, Ariana eventually gave in to her intrusive thoughts, and she picked up her phone, typing the name “Holden Fredrick” into the search bar.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
There was barely any information about him online other than articles discussing his status as a business prodigy and the head of the Fredrick Group. Being in a position of power and prestige, there were strangely no pictures of him that she could find.
Just like five years ago, she couldn’t find any information on him.
After scrolling through her phone and searching for a while, her eyelids became heavy with sleep. Eventually, she put her phone down, yawned, and allowed herself to drift off.
Early the next morning, the doorbell rang, waking her up.
She was about to get out of bed when Melon, who was already wide awake turned to her with a sweet smile and said considerately, “Mommy, you don’t have to get up. I’ll go answer the door.”
He sprang out of bed and bounded out of the room, leaving to answer whoever was at the door. Ariana remained in bed but could hear the front door open, followed by Melon’s excited cheer.
“What's going on? Who's there?” Hearing her son’s raised voice, Ariana quickly climbed out of bed and wrapped herself in a coat, padding out into the hallway to see what was happening.
As she stepped out, she was greeted by a large, strange object standing in the doorway. It took her a moment to realize it was an incredibly stylish and high-tech robot model nearly 2 meters tall.
Ariana gaped at it. Melon was whooping in joy, but all she could feel was bewilderment as she examined the robot model more closely. The craftsmanship of it was exquisite, and at a glance, she recognized it as a collector’s item, easily worth a million or more.
“Miss Ariana Edwards, | presume? Could you please sign for this?” The delivery person held out a form on a clipboard to Ariana, gesturing for her to sign. She snapped back to reality and explained awkwardly, “I think you’ve got the wrong address. | didn’t buy this.”
The delivery person smiled and replied, “Mr. Fredrick sent this over personally.”
Ariana quickly figured out that “Mr. Fredrick” was undoubtedly Holden. At this realization, her brows furrowed in surprise.
She had no relationship whatsoever with him, so she didn’t want to accept his gift.
She couldn't understand why he suddenly sent her this.
Besides, after her recent conflict with Sadie, Holden’s image in Ariana’s eyes was far from good. Thinking that he had sent this to apologize on behalf of Sadie, Ariana couldn’t help but scoff inwardly.
She had no intention of accepting his gift.
“I'm sorry, but this isn’t ours. We can’t accept it,” Ariana told the delivery man.
“But this is a one-way delivery, and | can’t take it back,” the delivery man explained, glancing at his watch. He seemed to be ina hurry. “Just take it for now. | have to go on with the next delivery,” he explained.
