Holden chuckled and playfully waved at him.

Seeing Holden waving at him, Melon's eyes lit up immediately. The little boy was so excited. He ran over as fast as he could and wrapped his arms around Holden's legs, looking at Holden fondly.

They seemed to be so in tune with each other. They were both careful not to make any noise that might disturb Ariana in her sleep. Holden gently ruffled Melon's hair and lifted him into his arms. He then carried the little boy to the dining room.

Once in the dining room, he placed the child at the table and headed towards the kitchen. In the kitchen, Holden quickly heated some milk and toasted a slice of bread. Soon, he came back with a simple breakfast. "Mom has a head injury. I need you to remind Mom to apply the medicine in time, okay?" he said gently to Melon as he put the food in front of him.

Hearing what Holden said, Melon straightened up and saluted with a serious expression. “Yes, sir."

Looking at Melon's serious expression, Holden couldn't help but smile.

He patted the little boy once again and said, “Let Mommy sleep a little longer, okay? Later..

Holden was about to tell Melon that he was his father when he remembered what Ariana had said last night. He decided to respect her decision and stopped himself. He would first deal with Sadie thoroughly. Once he was done with her, he could tell the truth to Melon.

Having made up his mind, Holden said, "I will prepare breakfast for you and Adele and bring it to your room."

Melon was so happy that his face shone with a bright smile.

Holden then began to prepare breakfast for the kids. Once he had arranged everything, he left the villa and drove to the company.

Upon arriving at the company, Holden caught sight of Devin, who had been waiting for him.

Devin also saw Holden, and he immediately walked over. "Sir, Miss Pierre has been waiting for you in the office for quite some time," he said respectfully.

Holden nodded casually but didn't say anything. Of course, he wasn't surprised by that. If Sadie hadn't come to him, he would have gone to her.

When he got to his office and pushed open the door, he found Sadie sitting on the couch. Sadie's face was pale, and her eyes were red and swollen, It seemed like she had been crying for a long time. As soon as she saw Holden, tears flowed down her cheeks again. “Where have you been? I waited for you all day yesterday, but you never came back."

Holden looked at her coldly, his gaze clearly expressing emotional detachment. When he opened his mouth, his tone was flat and devoid of emotion. “Why were you waiting for me? You should be with Zayden now. You don't need to come visit me."

Upon hearing this, Sadie cried even harder. She lowered her head and begged in tears, "I know I messed up. I made a terrible mistake.

Please, give me another chance. As long as you're willing to marry me, I'll do anything. I will do whatever it takes to make you forgive me. Holden, please don't push me away. I promise I will be a good wife to you."

She cried bitterly, but Holden didn't spare her another glance. He leisurely sat down in a chair and said calmly, "I've already given you many chances. You can't expect to have opportunities at will.

You've never valued the opportunities you had."
