“Alright, enough fretting about other people's kids. Let's focus on your own little son. He must be getting all antsy at home now," Sonia suggested, trying to shift the topic. She could see right through Ariana's thoughts. She playfully pulled her along as they made their way outside.

Ariana stole a quick glance at the time and confirmed it was indeed getting late. This prompted them to pick up their pace.

Shortly after, Sonia's car pulled up in front of a villa.

Ariana had bought this villa for herself about two years ago.

As Ariana came out of the car, an utterly adorable little boy came darting from the villa. He had a tender complexion and exuded a natural charm, even at his tender age.

He dashed towards Ariana, threw himself on her, hugged her leg, and cheerfully shouted, “Mommy, you're finally back!"

Ariana burst into laughter and scooped him up. She planting a sweet kiss on his cheek as she asked, “Hey, did you follow Mr. Chadwick's instructions while I was away?"

“I did! But I still missed you so much. It's been a whole afternoon without seeing you, and I've missed you so much that my heart feels like it's going to break," Melon said, snuggling warmly into her embrace.

Ariana found it both amusing and heart-melting. She couldn't help but wonder where he picked up all these adorable words. Melon was always high spirited. He knew exactly how to steal people's hearts.

Right at that moment, Sonia playfully chimed in, “Hey, Melon, do you miss your awesome godmother?"

Melon tilted his head, putting on a show of thinking.

"Hmm," Sonia went on, teasingly, "Well, even if you don't miss me, that's fine. It's just a shame that all those cool toy robots, transforming cars, and figurines in my car will go to waste.”

“I do miss a pretty godmother Like you!" Melon immediately replied, his eyes sparkling with delight.

Sonia couldn't resist his charm and pulled him into a tight hug. They both burst into Laughter, relishing the joy of the moment.

Just then, a figure approached them from behind. Sonia noticed, promptly straightened up, and held Melon properly. With a formal tone, she greeted, “Hello, Dr. Chadwick."

Ariana couldn't suppress a soft chuckle as she observed Sonia's demeanor in the presence of Mitchel. It was as though Sonia transformed into an eager student, meeting her revered teacher.

Ariana turned around gracefully, offering Mitchel a warm smile. It wasn't surprising, for over the past five years, Mitchel had honed an even stronger academic aura and achieved remarkable feats in the field of medicine.

After exchanging pleasantries, the four of them entered the villa.

The table was adorned with dishes and a cake awaited them.

Sonia lovingly lifted Melon onto a chair, and together, the three adults sang a heartfelt birthday song, their hands clapping in rhythm.
