While the idea had been tempting, she couldn’t quite walk down that road. Using Mitchel as a prop,
especially if she couldn’t accept him wholeheartedly, was unfair. It was a move that might end up
wounding him.
She exhaled and typed another text: “Just kidding.”
Holden responded, “Quite the jest.”
Navigating the chat waters with Holden after that felt like skating on thin ice, so Ariana made a few
mundane comments before ending the conversation.
As she was about to set her phone aside, it buzzed with a call from Jayson.

his voice.
“What happened?” Ariana inquired.
“I’m slated to film a parenting show, but one of the participants had a mishap during another project and
is a no-show. I’m striking out left and right trying to find celebs with children. Either they’re booked, or
their kids are too old for our criteria. Can you swing by with Melon to join the program?”
After hearing Jayson’s pitch, Ariana paused, deep in thought.
Melon was still so young, and she was wary of how he might handle the limelight, especially with
school right around the corner.
Sensing her reservations, Jayson said, “Look, we only need you for this one segment. We’re on the
hunt for another guest to take your place afterward. This gig is just for three days, so Melon’s school
schedule won’t be affected. Plus, the music show is in five days.”
Weighing Jayson’s predicament, Ariana felt she could step in to help him.

But she didn’t agree immediately. “I’m okay with it, but I want to ask Melon about this. I’ll loop you in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsoon.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for your reply.”
Once off the phone, Ariana found Melon engrossed in playing toys.
Kneeling beside him, she ventured, “Honey, Mr. Spears has a cool TV project and wants us to be a part
of it. We’d have to be away for three days. Fancy a mini adventure with Mom?”
Melon’s eyes lit up. “Yep!” Always game for something new, he was onboard.
The following day, having juggled her commitments, Ariana brought Melon to the show’s location.
On set, there were six celeb parent-kid duos, including them. Ariana recognized the other faces from
entertainment headlines she had seen.
Melon was the youngest. And the eldest kid was eight.
