Chapter 1219
“Melon’s aware of the real story behind his dad now.”
“How did he find out? Is he handling it okay?” he quickly typed back, the weight of her revelation making it hard for him to breathe.
Taking her time, Ariana finally replied, “It’s better he knows now than discovers it later. Children can be resilient; they will learn to cope. And thank you, truly, for being there for him all this time.”
Ariana kept her silence about the revealing call from Sadie, feeling that diving into those details would only ignite further tensions.
Holden, after all, was never meant to be a permanent fixture in Melon’s life, and with his upcoming marriage with Sadie, she didn’t want to be the one throwing a wrench in their plans.
However, even if unspoken, Holden sensed Ariana’s intentions to put distance between them.
Desperation clawed at him, prompting him to send another message.
“Answer your phone.”
Without waiting, he called her, only to be cut off after a couple of rings.
A mix of emotions surged within him: confusion, pain, and anger.
Not one to give up, he dialed again, only to be met with the same unwavering denial.
Taking a deep breath, he made one last attempt.

At first, Holden was furious, but he bit back his anger.
As the call connected, however, he was suddenly speechless.
The torrent of questions he had racing in his mind, inquiries about whether she intended to distance herself from him, died in his throat.
A heavy silence fell over.
Unspoken words hung in the air.
After a while, just as Holden gathered himself to speak, he heard a barely audible sob from the other end.

In an instant, the sound extinguished the burning anger in Holden’s heart, leaving an ache in its wake.
