Chapter 898
The woman’s expression was marked by a slight frown.
Her eyes scrutinized Melon with an air of disdain.
She appeared to be Adele’s mother.
With that in mind, a wave of disillusionment crested within Melon.
His aspiration to welcome a younger sibling had been thwarted.
Sonia’s anxious call momentarily reached Melon’s ears, jolting him to reality.
Swiftly, he retraced his steps.
Yet unbeknownst to him, Adele, who had been ignoring him, now Lifted her head, her eyes unwavering as she watched him Leave.
Sadie obstructed Adele’s view, her brow furrowing as she beheld Melon’s retreating figure.
With a contemptuous smile, she remarked, “That boy was so unkempt, clearly a wild child with unruly behavior.
In the future, steer clear of such kids.
”
Adele remained impervious to these words, but Sadie had grown accustomed to her lack of reaction.
Sheltered under an umbrella, her face meticulously made up, Sadie looked down at Adele crouched on the ground, a genial smile on her lips.
“Did you manage to count to a thousand?”
‘s
Adele shook her head, maintaining her Lowered gaze and said nothing.
Inwardly, Sadie sneered, labeling Adele as a simpleton.
But her face showed a gentle smile as she said, “What shall we do then? Your reward will slip through your fingers!”
Adele kept silent, still crouched on the ground, her fingers toying with the grass beneath her feet.
Undeterred by Adele’s lack of response, Sadie continued, “It matters not; even if you’ve not counted to a thousand, Mommy still adores you.
The blueberry pudding shall be yours, regardless.
But when Daddy inquires if you relished your time at the amusement park, you must say you did, alright?”
Sadie’s voice retained its soft timbre as she extended a hand to Lift Adele, clutching the blueberry pudding in one hand and the umbrella in the other.
“Come on now, say you had a splendid time with Mommy.
”
Meanwhile, Sonia playfully pinched Melon’s ear, reprimanding him, “In a place as crowded as this amusement park, how could you recklessly wander? What if nefarious individuals took you away? Your mother and I could be in really bad shape!”
“Forgive me, Godmother, I won’t repeat it,” Melon replied apologetically.
Sonia’s words flowed smoothly, though in truth they were barely registered as Melon’s focus was riveted on the flowerbed in the distance.
Sonia detected his absentmindedness, a mixture of irritation and amusement bubbling within her.
Tracing his line of sight, Sonia saw a striking woman donning sunglasses, cradling a young girl, poised to depart.
Sonia knew her! That was none other than Sadie.

Melon said, “That little sister was counting amidst the flowerbed, and her face was red from the sun’s touch.
”
Sonia couldn’t help but inwardly Lament Sadie’s callousness.
On such a sweltering day, she had left the girl there to count while she remained immaculately composed, radiating freshness.
Being a professional paparazzo, Sonia promptly got her phone, capturing a few snapshots of their retreating figures.
Soon, Ariana returned, and Sonia recounted the episode, “When I saw the little girl, she was sweating profusely and Looking at Sadie pitifully.
I felt sorry for her.
She’s so young, yet Sadie seems indifferent to the prospect of the little girl possibly suffering from heatstroke.
It’s truly unfeeling.
”
Ariana’s mind conjured up the image of Adele at Sonia’s words, a pang of empathy gripping her heart.
An overwhelming rage surged through her, almost compelling her to go and get Adele.
