Within the restaurant nestled in the heart of the children’s amusement park, Sadie, her satisfaction stemming from a video sent to Holden, effortlessly engaged in play alongside Adele.
She would occasionally steal glances toward Shawn, the figure donned in sunglasses, sipping juice, who had shadowed them throughout.
Sadie masked her frustration with a feigned smile, though, in truth, she was exasperated beyond measure.

Her role as a devoted mother spanned the clock’s full circle, a continuous obligation that grated on her nerves.
Not to mention that the sight of this impish child was already a source of irritation.

In a bid to mend Holden's perception of her, she had chosen to relinquish her film career and remain at Adele's side every day.

The message was from Zayden.
“Join me, at the three o'clock position to your left.” Sadie’s face contorted, and she dared not glance back.
Flustered, she sneakily assessed Shawn.
