After a moment of reflection and looking into Adele’s hopeful eyes, Ariana finally conceded.
“Okay, I’ll bring Adele with me for tonight.
Please reach out when it’s time to return her.”
Shawn gave a nod of affirmation. Ariana leaned down to scoop Adele into her embrace, and the child
snuggled contentedly against her.
Upon arriving at Ariana’s residence, before Ariana could even announce her arrival, she heard the

The door swung open to unveil Melon’s radiant face. His eyes sparkled with delight at the sight of
Adele, whom Ariana gently set down.
Eagerly, Melon took Adele’s hand, thrilled about his new companion.
Curious about the noise, Sonia emerged from the kitchen, her eyes widening in surprise upon seeing
Adele in the living room.
“My word, how did she end up here? Has something happened with Sadie?”
Ariana chuckled softly as she closed the door behind her, watching Melon excitedly introduce Adele to
his favorite toys.
“No, Sadie didn’t abandon her,” she began, gently guiding Sonia away from the children’s excited
chatter.
“Remember the child therapy client I mentioned? That’s her. Adele didn’t want to leave after our
session today, so it was decided she’d stay with us temporarily.”
As Ariana relayed the day’s events, Sonia’s face softened with compassion.
“Such a young child, surrounded by luxury, yet facing so much.” She moved closer to the couch, lightly
patting Adele’s head, feeling an unexpected surge of warmth towards the girl.

Sonia gasped, smacking her forehead in realization.

torch my supplies.”
In the midst of the chaos, Sonia hastily turned off the stove, mockingly saluting Ariana.
“Your kitchen, Chef!” She then scampered off to rejoin the children, leaving Ariana chuckling to herself.
A while later, as Ariana masterfully maneuvered the wok, Sonia rushed back in, her face alight with
enthusiasm.
