“No, no, | really can’t accept it.” Ariana simply couldn’t bring herself to accept it, persistently refusing and growing increasingly uneasy.
Catalina, sensing Ariana’s discomfort and embarrassment, cast a glance at Mitchel beside her and sighed, realizing that her foolish son had much to learn in winning over women.
Observing Ariana’s continued hesitation, Catalina decided to change her approach. “Don’t worry. | bought this bracelet on a whim. | don’t have a daughter, and upon meeting you, | felt a fondness.
Besides, Melon is so adorable. Consider this a gift between friends.
In the future, please bring Melon to visit us often.”
Nearby, Melon chimed in sweetly, “Okay! | enjoy playing with you both. I'll definitely come to see you often.”
Melon's words filled Catalina with joy. With an elated expression, she crouched down, enveloping Melon in a warm embrace and showering him with kisses. “Melon, | hope you'll visit and play with us often, alright?”

After seeing Ariana and the others off, Catalina returned to reality and noticed Rodney still gazing in the direction they had departed.
She regarded him with a puzzled expression and asked, “Dad, why do you adore Melon so much?”

Catalina speculated that perhaps Rodney, in his advancing years, felt a sense of loneliness and desired the presence of a child to infuse vitality into his life. Playfully, she remarked, “Or should | go to the Jovanni family and bring back a couple of kids to keep you company?”
Rodney snorted and, with determination, turned around, retorting, “I only want Melon, no other kids.”
“Why?” Catalina caught up with him and pressed for an explanation, but Rodney remained tight-lipped.

However, Mitchel echoed Catalina’s sentiment, saying, “If she gave it to you, just accept it as a gift. That's what my mother wants, too.”
Ariana hesitated for a moment, her fingers tracing the bracelet, and she timidly inquired, “Could it be that your mother misunderstood something?”
Mitchel turned to look at her, puzzled, and asked, “Misunderstood what?”
