Chapter: 904

“Thank you, Ma’am!” With the prized balloon in hand, Melon’s grin illuminated his face. He could hardly

wait to return to Ariana and share it with her.

On his way, a flower nursery caught his attention. There, nestled in a corner, was a young girl muttering

in a low voice.

She was counting, and her counting seemed askew, for Melon observed a leap from twenty straight to

fifty as he drew near.

A bemused smile graced his lips, and he inquired, “Engrossed in counting, are you?”

Unperturbed by his presence, the girl’s gaze remained fixed downward.

Craning his neck, Melon saw the girl his age in a pink bubble skirt on the grass.

The sun was beating down fiercely, flushing her delicate face, which glistened with sweat. How long

she had occupied this spot remained an enigma to him.

“Why are you squatting here?” Melon asked, his curiosity piqued.

Still, the girl offered no response.

Undeterred, Melon extended the balloon toward her. “Should you deign to answer my question, this

“Great! What about being my sister?” Melon’s joy was evident as he clapped his little hands. “My mom

shall delight in this new addition to the family!”

He then knelt, secured the balloon to her wrist, and stood up. The fact that she didn’t protest made him

happier. “Now that you don’t object, I’ll consider that a promise. So, consider this my gift to you.”

Not a word was spoken, yet the girl did not refuse the balloon either.

“Adele.”

Adele? Was that her name?

Melon turned his head, studying the little girl and etching her name into his memory. Then, his attention

shifted back to the woman drawing near.
