Chapter 1084
“I'm Ariana Edwards. Used to be in the Edwards circle. | got to know Dr. Chadwick just a few years back.”
Alight bulb went off in Rodney’s head; he remembered the Edwards, who faced some tough times. He decided not to dive deeper into that topic.
Although curious about Rodney’s sudden interest, Ariana chose to steer the conversation elsewhere.
“Thanks for looking after Melon,” she said gracefully.
“We should be on our way.”
As Ariana and Melon made their exit, Rodney watched them leave, whispering to himself, “So much alike.. way too much.” After the big dinner, as Ariana and Mitchell were gearing up to leave, Rodney decided to give them a personal send-off. “You're always welcome back. And bring the kid too,” said Rodney, his face giving nothing away.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
From her spot, Catalina’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. Rodney, being warm? That’s new. Ever since his quiet retirement years began, he didn’t really Like having company. The big feast tonight was only because she had twisted his arm into agreeing.
“Thank you,” Melon said with a sweetness that made everyone’s heart melt a little. Watching him, Catalina found herself sighing. Oh, how she wished the charming boy was Mitchel’s. That would’ve made her day.
After saying their goodbyes, Mitchel left with Melon and Ariana to retire the day. ANGELA‘sLIBRARY
As soon as they arrived, Ariana settled her things down to massage her sore shoulders. She took a refreshing shower and took care of Melon’s needs before finally resting in bed.
The next morning, she set out to arrange a visit in Holden’s residence together with Shawn for Adele’s therapy session. Before that, she handled Melon’s needs first and made sure everything was in order before venturing out into Holden's place.
She already spent quite a bit of time with Adele this morning, but Holden was nowhere to be found. No matter how much she brushed it off, her disappointment was palpable.
All she wanted was answers to her curiosities. The uncanny resemblance of his voice and her late husband’s was far too creepy to be ignored, and she wasn’t one to ignore such surreal experience.
Initially, she planned to meet him and get a closer look at his appearance to confirm her suspicions via the energy project proposal, but that was still far from materializing. Everything about it was postponed because of the long process of approvals and documents.
Ariana only managed to let out a sigh, then proceeded to keep herself occupied with Adele’s recovery.
As the therapy session concluded, and Adele was about to follow Ariana along like last time, they heard a sharp scream that rang from the entrance of the residence.
“What are you doing here?!”
The loud voice reverberated like an announcement bell. As Ariana turned to see who it was, she saw Sadie, standing there menacingly.
Sadie never wavered in glaring at both Ariana and Adele, who were holding hands together.
Ever since the incident of her pulling strings from the background regarding the show, Holden had been purposely avoiding her. He blocked her in all possible communication platforms and would always evade her even when she reached out to Shawn.
Those instances of silent treatment took a toll on her, for obvious reasons. She couldn't bear being left alone with her thoughts, so she rushed over to Mistlyn for her own peace of mind. But what she didn’t anticipate was Ariana’s presence in that very residence, even holding on to Adele like they were pretty close.
