Devin couldn't help but recall Aldus's dying wish.

Before his passing, what troubled Aldus the most was Theodore's memories. Aldus knew that Theodore had harbored deep love for Ariana, which was why he had entrusted Devin with the solemn request never to mention Ariana in front of Holden.

He didn't want Holden to be plagued by those painful memories should he ever recall them.

Therefore, Devin's immediate instinct was that Holden must not cross paths with Ariana.

He attempted to regain his composure and said, "No, it's nothing. I just remembered some personal matters. Miss Edwards, please don't concern yourself."
