sweet fragrance unique to girls, tickling Nicolass senses and stirring something deep within him.
Noelle hadnt expected to run into her Nick here.
Overjoyed, she muzzled her head against his chest like an affectionate kitten, her voice sweet and soft as she kept repeating.
Nick, Nick_ Alright, Elly, if you keep this up, youre going to set my chest on fire, Nicolas teased, his deep voice tinged with indulgent warmth.
Gently, he cupped her head to stop her from moving- Im just so happy to see you! Noelle grinned, her delight evident in her crescent shaped eyes.
Nicolass heart melted at the sight of her radiant smile.
He couldnt resist reaching out to pinch her delicate earlobe and softly asked, Elly, its so late.
Why are you out here all alone? Didnt you say you were going to cheer for Damon today! I did cheer for him! But now hes off to pick up Leia, Noelle explained candidly, without the slightest trace of concealment.
Hearing this, the smile on Nicolass face faded slightly.
His lips pressed into a thin line, and his grip on Noelles hand tightened imperceptibly.
He left you, a girl, alone on the street this late, just to pi pick up Leis? Yeah, Leia showed up to see him, so he went to meet her, Noelle nodded, tugging playfully at Nicolass sleeve.
She tilted her head and pouted, Nick.
I ran out of money.

Nicolas soon, arent you? Going hearly shouldnt require permission, should it? His words sent warmth blooming in Noelles chest, like countless tiny fireworks bursting into life.
She clung to his arm and leaned against him, looking up with a mischievous grin.
Nick, if we go home, can we do grown up things in advance ! Nicolass face froze for a moment Noelles knack for bringing up that topic was truly unparalleled.
He flicked her forehead lightly and said, What are you even thinking? Youre too young for that.
But Im already an adult ! Noelle puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
Could it be Nicks not capable? Noelle thought.
The thought earned her a more solid tap on the head.
Ow! Noelle yelped, clutching her forehead.
Nick, you hitagain ! Leading her toward the car, Nicolas said calmly Thats because I could tell you were having naughty thoughts No, I wasnt ! Nicolas said, Yes, you were.
Now get in the car, Nicolas opened the door and placed his hand over the top of the frto make sure she wouldnt bump her head.
Once inside, Noelle, still brimming with excitement, rolled into Nicolass lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Her eyes sparkled, and she said with a bright smile.

I really like you Meanwhile, Damon rushed to the location Leis had given him, only to find not just Leia but also his younger brother, Eli, waiting there.
Damon, congratulations! Leia, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers, greeted him with a radiant smile as soon as he arrived, Thanks, Leia Damon accepted the flowers, still a bit dazed.
His gaze shifted to Eli.
Eli, what are you doing here? I couldnt let Leia cout this late on her own, could I? Eli said nonchalantly If he had known Eli was also here, he would have gone back and picked up Noelle Eli said, Its so late, Leia said she wanted to see you, how could I not bring her ? Elis eyes swept over Damons shoulder.
Not seeing Noelle, his brows furrowed.
Wheres Noelle ? Mom said she cto cheer for you and even attended your celebration party.
Why are you here alone? Noelle Damon hesitated, his expression shifting awkwardly.
Elis tone sharpened, Damon, where is Noelle ! What happened to her? Leia, standing nearby, watched the exchange, relieved to see that Noelle wasnt with Damon.
However, she feigned concern, asking.
Yeah, Damon wheres Noelle ? Why isnt she here ? Cornered, Damons irritation flared.
I told her to go hon her own Whats the big deal? You let her go halone this late at night ? Elis voice rose in disbelief.
Damon, are you out of your mind? Do you even know what tit is! Do you realize how far it is to Reniam City ? How could you be okay with leaving Noelle on her own? Damons irritation boiled over.
Why wouldnt I be okay with it! She tagged along uninvited Im not responsible for her? Damon ! Elis voice was filled with anger.
Sure, Noelles skilled enough to defend herself.
But shes also ridiculously naive! If someone with bad intentions tricked her, shed probably hand them her money and thank them for it.
Damon opened his mouth but found himself unable to refute Elis words.
Everyone in the family had tacitly acknowledged Noelles guileless nature Damn it ... Eli muttered, raking a hand through his hair before pulling out his phone to call Noelle.
I thought you might at least take care of her since she cto support you.
But no, youve outdone yourself, Damon.
Unbelievable.

As he duled, he said, I know youre not fond of Noelle, but considering she cto cheer you on today, I thought youd at least show her skindness. I didnt expect you to leave her out there alone so late.
Damon, with his fiery temper and sharp tongue, couldnt a single word in his dea in his defense as Eli scolded him.

Was it really necessary for Eli to fuss so much over Noelle, that wild woman? she thought .
