Chapter: 1656
"Melon's special vitamins are about to run out. I'll send them over soon. Try not to stay up too late, and don't overwork yourself. Drink plenty of water, and stop drinking too much coffee. Make sure you get enough sleep at night. Although your wound has healed, take good care of yourself."
While listening to Mitchel's concern for Ariana, the smile on Holden's lips gradually faded. He couldn't help but feel irritated.
He wished Mitchel would go away quickly.
He now had the urge to drive Mitchel away. But he restrained himself.
After all, Ariana had told him that Mitchel had helped her a lot in the past five years. Mitchel was her and Melon's savior. Considering this, he must be grateful for Mitchel.
So, if he drove Mitchel away impatiently now, it would appear that he was being ungrateful. No one would like such an ungraceful man.
At the thought of this, Holden forced a smile and stepped back. He could only keep his annoyance to himself and listen to Mitchel's concern for Ariana.
Holden waited for a long time for Mitchel and Ariana to finish talking. Finally, they said goodbye to each other. Then, Ariana took Melon and got in the car.
On their way back, Holden drove silently with a long face. Jealousy overwhelmed him so much that he didn't say even a single word to Ariana.
Ariana noticed his strange behavior. She leaned closer and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
She wondered why Holden looked unhappy. Hadn't he been happy when he sent her a message?
Holden still wore a straight face. He pressed Ariana back to her seat and pretended that nothing had happened. “Sit tight and don't move. It's dangerous.”
This time, Melon poked his head out of the back seat and said seriously, “It's because Mitchel really cares about you, Mommy. He talked a lot with you just now. But you didn't talk much with Mr. Fredrick, so he's mad."
At his age, Melon didn't know what jealousy was yet. He tilted his head and thought for a moment. Then, he said, "He acts like the chubby kid in kindergarten. That kid gets mad when someone takes his toy."
Holden was caught off guard. He coughed violently, trying to cover up Melon's voice. His ears turned red from embarrassment.
“Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Melon looked at Holden and blinked in confusion.
Ariana couldn't help laughing. She also spoke, imitating Melon. “Yeah, why did you cough so much? Are you choking?"
Holden glanced at her speechlessly. He said, "No."
"Then why do you still Look unhappy?" Ariana asked, Looking at him and blinking.
Melon cut in, "Mommy, I already told you it was because you and Mitchel talked too much."
