Chapter: 931
Holden was surprised, He looked at Melon for a moment, thinking the kid called him Dad by mistake. He crouched down in front
of the little “girl” and corrected “her”, “You made a mistake, I’m not your father. You can’t call anyone ‘Dad’, you know?”
Melon was obviously saddened by Holden’s words. The little boy pouted in disappointment and lowered his tiny head.
He had seen his father’s photo in the photo album on his mother’s phone. Even though it was only a side profile photo, he could
still recognize the face.
He missed his dad a lot. His mommy told him that his dad was a great soldier who was guarding the country’s border and
couldn’t come back to see him.
Melon felt a bit down now and he lost all interest in the mask. He returned it to Holden and politely thanked him, “Thank you,
Mister.” Holden put the mask back on. He could tell that the child was unhappy. Holden found the little “girl” adorable, so he
coaxed “her” to sit on the sofa and offered “her” pastries. He also pushed the untouched tea drink on the table towards Melon
and said softly, “Try this, it’s the signature drink here.”
Melon’s mood improved a bit at the sight of the food. He picked up the cup of tea and looked at Holden with a smile, displaying
his signature dimples.
Holden’s gaze lingered on the little kid’s dimples for a few seconds. He remembered that his daughter had them too. Even
though Adele rarely smiled, she must be as cute as the child in front of him when she did smile.
Just as Melon was about to have a sip of the tea drink, a low growl came from behind him, “You little rascal! You made it hard for
me to find you!” Dressed in her witch costume, Sonia appeared behind Melon, brimming with anger. The little boy felt guilty and
his whole body stiffened. He immediately put the cup down.
Before Melon could say anything to clarify, Sonia swooped him up.
With the little boy in her arms, Sonia turned to look at Holden and apologized, “I’m sorry, sir. This little boy is too self-willed and
likes causing trouble.”
It wasn’t until he heard Sonia call Melon “little boy” that Holden realized the child was indeed a boy. The thing was, Melon was
dressed as a little girl. Besides, the child was charming and adorable.
Holden nodded but didn’t say anything. He just watched Sonia walk away with Melon in her arms.
On the way back, Sonia lectured the little boy.
“I told you not to run around with so many people here. If anything happens to you, your Mommy will be heartbroken, and of
course your godmother will be heartbroken too. But above all, you should not accept any food from strangers, especially when
your Mommy is not around.”
The little boy was sensible enough to know he was wrong and he listened to Sonia with a guilty look on his face.
Once back with Ariana, Sonia couldn’t help but complain, “Your son is really a little escape professional. He disappeared in the
blink of an eye while I was having a dessert. I found him munching on someone else’s snacks
Realizing that what he did was wrong, Melon looked at Ariana and tugged at her sleeve, trying to appease her.
“Mommy, I didn’t mean to, and I also met a handsome man just now.”
Ariana felt both annoyed and amused. She nudged the little boy’s nose and said, “You are really good at socializing, But I want
you to stay with me from now on, okay? You shouldn’t follow strangers just because you think they’re handsome.”
As Ariana spoke, she picked up her son into her arms and looked around in confusion. People in the venue all wore masks. How
could he have seen a handsome guy?
