Sonia, always quick with a comeback, dominated the argument. Maxwell, recently returned from abroad and struggling with the local language, found himself at a loss for words, his face reddening with frustration.

Seeing his defeat, Sonia couldn't help but smirk with triumph. She raised her fist in a victorious gesture, grabbed her bag, and left work right on time, leaving Maxwell stewing in his annoyance.

On her way to pick up Melon from kindergarten, Sonia hummed cheerfully, amused by Maxwell's irritation.

After collecting Melon, she realized she needed some household items for Melon and decided to swing by Ariana's place.

But as she and Melon entered the villa, they stopped short. Someone was already there. It took Sonia a moment to recognize it was Holden.
