Unable to witness her friend in such agony, Sonia held her tighter, and together, they wept for a while before regaining composure.
While wiping away her tears, Sonia asserted, “No more wallowing in tears! You can’t let yourself be powerless. If that scoundrel is still entangled with Sadie, you can leave him!”
Observing Ariana’s despondency, Sonia sensed her struggle to let go.
She added, “But from what I saw, it seems Holden still cares about you. Today’s wedding hardly had him paying any mind to Sadie. Maybe Sadie used some trick to keep him around. Now that we know Holden is Theodore, you should go and snatch him back!”
Ariana hesitated for a moment, her voice trembling. “What about Adele?
And Sadie is pregnant again, complicating matters further.”
Sonia, momentarily at a loss for words, scratched her head in frustration. Angrily, she muttered, “Why is this man so despicable?
Can’t even rein in his own desires. Useless!”

Ariana remained silent, her spirits still low, tears unabated. She felt deeply distressed, her spirit crushed.
At that moment, a phone on the nearby table began to ring. Ariana hesitated to answer, so Sonia reached over and picked it up. It was displaying an unfamiliar number.
Putting it on speakerphone, an unexpected sweet, childlike voice came.
“Aria, eat cakes!”
A familiar and soothing voice reached Ariana’s ears, unmistakably belonging to Adele, a fact that sent shockwaves through her. Hastily grabbing the phone, Ariana questioned, “Adele, where are you?”
However, all Adele seemed capable of uttering was a single sentence on repeat. “Aria, eat cakes.”

Just as Ariana’s anxiety hit its peak, a woman’s voice interjected, “Hello, are you the kid’s mom? Your little one wandered off and is now at the local cake shop. When I asked her for her parents’ number, she gave me your number.”
“Thank you so much. Send me the address, and I’m on my way,” Ariana replied anxiously, ready to get out of bed in search of Adele.
“Hold up, what’s your rush? Sit tight,” Sonia interjected with a hint of anger, putting a damper on Ariana’s impulsive movement. “Your wounds haven’t healed yet.”
“But Adele is out there, Sonia. They haven’t found her, and I need to go get her,” Ariana insisted urgently, determination etched on her face.
“Why is it your responsibility to play detective when Sadie’s kid is lost? If she’s lost, it’s Sadie’s job to track her down. Why are you in such a hurry? This is their problem, and besides, you haven’t gotten proper rest yet. You’re staying here!” Sonia said.
Her frustration grew with each word.
