Chapter: 1668
Holden gladly accepted his offer.
Adrian bought numerous dolls from fashion brands and instructed his driver to deliver them to an address. Reflecting on the long time since their last meeting, he returned to the Fredrick family's residence with Holden.
Upon their arrival, Devin spotted Adrian. He was surprised.
Ever since Aldus had sent Adrian to Allemicano, Adrian hadn't returned. He had gotten married to Jennifer two years ago in Allemicano. His life and family were now in Allemicano, and his visits back to Eleymond had been rare. What had brought him back with Holden now?
Adrian and Devin exchanged warm greetings. Since Holden was here, Devin didn't ask Adrian anything.
Watching Adrian and Holden interact so closely, Devin felt a bit uneasy. He believed Adrian hadn't said anything inappropriate to Holden as Holden would surely inquire about it if Adrian had.
They talked for a bit, and the two kids were drenched in sweat nearby. Holden took it upon himself to get the children cleaned up and ready for bed. Seizing this chance, Devin pulled Adrian aside and said, "You should know that Holden has lost his memor, There are certain things you shouldn't mention to him, like Marley."
“Got it." Adrian then inquired, “By the way, how did Holden lose his memory?"
Devin exhaled deeply and told him about the car accident. He added, "Don't bring up anything about the Anderson family. Avoid mentioning anyone connected to the Anderson family to Holden."
Adrian, confused, asked, "What about Ariana? Holden remembers Ariana."
At that, Devin sighed. "He hasn't fully remembered Miss Edwards yet. Right now, he only recalls that he and Ariana were a couple before."
Devin quickly summarized the past events, including Aldus about Ariana. “That's Aldus dismissed misjudgments why everyone close to Holden. He didn't want Holden to learn the truth and hoped Holden could start a new life."
Adrian was taken aback by Devin's revelations. He hadn't realized the situation was so intricate.
"Don't worry, Devin. I know what I'm doing. I won't say anything I shouldn't," Adrian assured Devin earnestly.
Devin nodded and asked, "By the way, what brought you back to Eleymond all of a sudden?"
Devin's persistent questioning made Adrian feel guilty.
He started stammering, "I... I came back because I had something to do here."
"What is it exactly? What else do you have to do in Eleymond?" Devin asked curiously.
Adrian replied, “It's not a big deal. I just came back to look for someone..."
“Who are you looking for? We can help you find that person if you want." Devin found Adrain acting strange and asked a few more questions to dig more information. But Adrain's response was perfunctory.
