The following morning, Ariana accompanied Betsy to the airport to greet Sarah.

Betsy was brimming with excitement, eagerly anticipating the reunion with her long-lost friend. Her enthusiasm surpassed that of everyone else.

At approximately nine o'clock, they caught sight of a familiar figure emerging from the exit. Sarah appeared with a large suitcase, donning a denim dress, a mask, sunglasses, and a hat.

Betsy rushed forward and enveloped her in a tight embrace, exclaiming loudly how much she had missed Sarah. She was shorter than Sarah. Sarah held Betsy in her arms and spun her around.

Considering Ariana's pregnancy, Sarah refrained from repeating the gesture with her. She removed her mask and planted a kiss on Ariana's cheek, leaving behind the imprints of her red lipstick.

Consequently, two crimson marks were left on each of Ariana's cheeks.

Ariana had no choice but to put her mask back on.

“What's inside are all gifts for you," Sarah generously stated, patting the enormous twenty-eight-inch suitcase.

Betsy expressed surprise, asking, "Sarah, where is your personal luggage?”

“Don't worry. I sent it back by post," Sarah reassured her. She gently caressed Betsy's plump face and lovingly remarked, "Betsy, why do you keep getting cuter?"

Betsy couldn't escape Sarah's grasp. Her face crinkled and contorted as she struggled to speak.

"Sarah, are you implying that I've gained weight?”

"Not at all. You're adorable. Girls are lovelier when they have a little chubbiness,”

Sarah responded with a mischievous smile.

Observing their playful interaction from the side, Ariana also chuckled and felt a sense of relief. Judging by Sarah's demeanor, it appeared she had been enjoying herself lately.

Ariana contemplated separating the two, but her attention was momentarily diverted by a hickey on Sarah's neck, concealed beneath her hair. She was taken aback and exclaimed, "Sarah... Your neck..."

Sarah couldn't bear Ariana's gaze because she didn't have a clear conscience. She pulled up her collar and said nervously, "I was bitten by mosquitoes..."

Her voice was so low that Ariana had a hard time hearing what she was saying. As a woman with a husband and a close friend who liked to share porn novels, Ariana had quickly seen through Sarah's lie. Her story of having been bitten by mosquitoes was bullshit.

Ariana was alarmed. For an artist, having a secret date could have a major impact on their career.

When Ariana was about to further question Sarah, a fan recognized Sarah and excitedly came to ask for her autograph.
