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 replace 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?
