“Sweetie, what's troubling you?” Ariana inquired, promptly embracing him.
Melon’s emotions surged upon seeing Ariana. Tears coursed down his cheeks as he choked. “A bad woman is saying that she’sDaddy’s wife. But it’s all lies!
She says you're the other woman who took Daddy away. But I know you’d never do that!” He let Ariana handle the call, breakinginto uncontrollable sobs.
“Tell her it’s not true! Please, tell her!”
