Chapter: 931
Holden was surprised, He looked at Melon for a moment, thinking the kid called him Dad by mistake.
He crouched down in front of the little “girl” and corrected “her”, “You made a mistake, I’m not your
father. You can’t call anyone ‘Dad’, you know?”
Melon was obviously saddened by Holden’s words. The little boy pouted in disappointment and
lowered his tiny head.
He had seen his father’s photo in the photo album on his mother’s phone. Even though it was only a
side profile photo, he could still recognize the face.
He missed his dad a lot. His mommy told him that his dad was a great soldier who was guarding the
country’s border and couldn’t come back to see him.
Melon felt a bit down now and he lost all interest in the mask. He returned it to Holden and politely
thanked him, “Thank you, Mister.” Holden put the mask back on. He could tell that the child was

pastries. He also pushed the untouched tea drink on the table towards Melon and said softly, “Try this,
it’s the signature drink here.”
Melon’s mood improved a bit at the sight of the food. He picked up the cup of tea and looked at Holden
with a smile, displaying his signature dimples.
Holden’s gaze lingered on the little kid’s dimples for a few seconds. He remembered that his daughter
had them too. Even though Adele rarely smiled, she must be as cute as the child in front of him when
she did smile.
Just as Melon was about to have a sip of the tea drink, a low growl came from behind him, “You little
rascal! You made it hard for me to find you!” Dressed in her witch costume, Sonia appeared behind
Melon, brimming with anger. The little boy felt guilty and his whole body stiffened. He immediately put
the cup down.
Before Melon could say anything to clarify, Sonia swooped him up.
With the little boy in her arms, Sonia turned to look at Holden and apologized, “I’m sorry, sir. This little
boy is too self-willed and likes causing trouble.”
It wasn’t until he heard Sonia call Melon “little boy” that Holden realized the child was indeed a boy. The
thing was, Melon was dressed as a little girl. Besides, the child was charming and adorable.
Holden nodded but didn’t say anything. He just watched Sonia walk away with Melon in her arms.
On the way back, Sonia lectured the little boy.
“I told you not to run around with so many people here. If anything happens to you, your Mommy will be
heartbroken, and of course your godmother will be heartbroken too. But above all, you should not
accept any food from strangers, especially when your Mommy is not around.”
The little boy was sensible enough to know he was wrong and he listened to Sonia with a guilty look on
his face.
Once back with Ariana, Sonia couldn’t help but complain, “Your son is really a little escape

on someone else’s snacks
Realizing that what he did was wrong, Melon looked at Ariana and tugged at her sleeve, trying to
appease her.
“Mommy, I didn’t mean to, and I also met a handsome man just now.”
Ariana felt both annoyed and amused. She nudged the little boy’s nose and said, “You are really good
at socializing, But I want you to stay with me from now on, okay? You shouldn’t follow strangers just
because you think they’re handsome.”
As Ariana spoke, she picked up her son into her arms and looked around in confusion. People in the
venue all wore masks. How could he have seen a handsome guy?
