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

"Why?" Catalina caught up with him and pressed for an explanation, but Rodney remained tight-lipped.

Observing Rodney's reluctance to divulge his reasons, Catalina abandoned further questioning and sighed. “Well, if you don't wish to share, so be it. I only hope Mitchel can win Ariana's heart soon, so we can become a family."

Rodney was moved when he heard the term "family" and found it heartwarming. He nodded in agreement, acknowledging that his daughter was right and that Mitchel should hurry up to win Ariana's affection.

During the journey back, Ariana gazed at the bracelet in her hand and still harbored some uneasiness about it. Furthermore, she believed the bracelet must be quite costly. She decided to return it and said to Mitchel, "You should take the bracelet back; it's too valuable."
