Just then, a bodyguard walked in.
“Someone messed with the circuit breaker. Want us to find out who?”
Rodney didn’t answer and looked at Ariana.
With a history of seeing behind-the-scenes shenanigans, he saw this little trick as insignificant.
“Did you tick someone off?” he asked Ariana.
Ariana had her suspicions but brushed it off with a grin.
“Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. It’s one episode for me. No need for a big scene.”
Taking the cue, Rodney let it be.
Meanwhile, Judy was busy cheering up Melon. Her joy echoed a bit louder than the rest, catching Rodney’s occasional glance.
Ariana felt they might have interrupted Rodney’s peace and considered gathering Melon to make a quiet exit. Before she could say anything, Rodney's deep voice broke the silence.
“Hey there, kiddo. Come here. Feels like ages since | last saw this little rascal.”
“But I’m a sweet kid!” Melon said, with all the attitude a toddler could muster, his tiny hands on his hips. Nonetheless, he hopped down from Judy and made his way to Rodney.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Rodney, often known for his stern expressions, couldn’t help but smile at Melon. He said, “Oh, you’ve turned into a sweet kiddo now, huh? Get closer, and let me have a look.”
Melon giggled and got closer to Rodney.
Rodney laughed, lifting Melon and giving his belly a playful tickle. Their laughter was infectious.
Watching the duo, Ariana felt a mix of shock and amusement. She had never seen the usually stoic Rodney warm up to anyone this quickly.
Then again, Melon had that effect on people, a fact that made Ariana’s heart swell.
As the night grew darker, Melon had clearly charmed Rodney. Holding onto Rodney’s leg, Melon asked, “Can | have a sleepover in your room?”
Holding back a smile, Ariana responded, “What if you give him those famous flying kicks of yours when you’re asleep?”
