“No, no, I really can’t accept it.” Ariana simply couldn’t bring herself to accept it, persistently refusing
and growing increasingly uneasy.
Catalina, sensing Ariana’s discomfort and embarrassment, cast a glance at Mitchel beside her and
sighed, realizing that her foolish son had much to learn in winning over women.
Observing Ariana’s continued hesitation, Catalina decided to change her approach. “Don’t worry. I

In the future, please bring Melon to visit us often.”
Nearby, Melon chimed in sweetly, “Okay! I enjoy playing with you both.
I’ll definitely come to see you often.”
Melon’s words filled Catalina with joy. With an elated expression, she crouched down, enveloping
Melon in a warm embrace and showering him with kisses. “Melon, I hope you’ll visit and play with us
often, alright?”
“Sure.”
As the hour grew late, Catalina reluctantly let go of Melon and bid them farewell. Rodney, too, found it
difficult to part with Melon and briefly entertained the thought of keeping him there. Yet, witnessing
Melon’s strong attachment to Ariana, he eventually let go of the idea.

Catalina speculated that perhaps Rodney, in his advancing years, felt a sense of loneliness and
desired the presence of a child to infuse vitality into his life. Playfully, she remarked, “Or should I go to

Rodney snorted and, with determination, turned around, retorting, “I only want Melon, no other kids.”
