Noticing Mitchel had used his key to open the door, Rodney playfully teased, "It seems things are moving fast between you two. When did you get the key?"

Mitchel, with a resigned smile, scooped Melon up in his arms and replied, "I got it a long time ago. It's more convenient this way for me to take care of Melon."

Upon hearing Mitchel's words, Rodney couldn't contain his joy. A pleased grin spread across his face as he cast a glance at Mitchel and Ariana.

However, he chose to keep his comments to a minimum. Understanding the importance of pride among the younger generation, he knew that saying too much, especially as an elder, might risk embarrassing them.

The interaction between Ariana and Mitchel was natural and harmonious.
