Chapter 1080
This interruption recurred, but Ariana took it in stride.
“It’s alright,” she assured him, “Attend to your family. We’re fine here.”
With a brief nod and an apologetic look, Mitchel dashed off.
Melon, in the meantime, sat engrossed in the grandeur around him.
When he tried to place his juice back on the table, a slight miscalculation resulted in it cascading over
Ariana’s skirt.
“I’m so sorry, Mommy!” Melon’s eyes widened in alarm.
“It’s alright, darling,” Ariana consoled, patting her wet skirt.
“Stay here and behave while I clean up, okay? No wandering off.”
Promising to stay put, Melon watched his mother make her way to the restroom.
As Ariana exited, refreshed, she wandered close to the terrace. And there, in a fleeting moment, a
familiar silhouette caught her attention.
As Ariana caught sight of the recognizable silhouette, her astonishment bubbled forth.

“Judy?” she breathed out.novelbin
Judy, recognizing the voice, spun around. A wave of astonishment washed over her features, quickly
replaced by tears of emotion.
Without a second thought, she rushed to Ariana, wrapping her in a heartfelt embrace.
It had been half a decade since their last meeting, and Judy’s heart had ached for Ariana throughout.
Fate, however, had kept their paths separate until this serendipitous moment.
Ariana, equally moved, struggled to hold back her own tears.
“How did you come to be with the Chadwicks?” she inquired.
Drying her tears, Judy replied, “After the Anderson mansion was sold, we, the staff, were all let go. But
fortune smiled on me when a friend introduced me to the Chadwicks. I’ve been serving as their
housekeeper since then. Life’s been kind. How about you? How have you been after.. after
everything?”
Judy hesitated before touching upon the delicate subject of Theodore.
“Five years is a long time, Ariana. Haven’t you considered moving on?”
A shadow of sorrow clouded Ariana’s features.
“No,” she whispered.
Holding back her own tears, Judy softly said, “I miss him too. But we need to live for the present. Life
still has so much to offer.”
Sensing Judy’s intention to offer her solace, Ariana steered the conversation to lighter topics.
