Already? Noelle blinked.

Why didnt they say goodbye? You were swamped.

We didnt want to bother you You still couldve said something.

Noelle pouted, clearly unhappy with how casually theyd left.

Stanley ignored her your distance from.

After glancing around to make sure Brandon wasnt nearby, he suddenly said, You should keep Keep my distance? Why? Noelle frowned.

Even though shed sensed Brandon had changed, she still saw him as a friend someone whod once brought light into her dark childhood.

But Stanleys expression was dead serious, and that set off alarms in her mind.

Its complicated, Stanley muttered, raking a hand through his hair.

Just truston this one.

Okay, Noelle said uncertainly, sensing he wasnt going to explain mor Then she asked, Do you know where Nicolas is ? Oh, hes with the military- Stanley began, then stopped himself abruptly.

But it was too late The military? Noelles entire body tensed.

She grabbed Stanley by the collar.

Why? Why is he contacting the military? Stanley tried to deflect, but Noelle wasnt Jetting him off the hook.

She shook him hard.

Answer me, Stanley ! What is Nicolas doing with the military! Panicked, Stanley looked around and hissed, Keep your voice down! Do you want to cause a panic ? Then tellthe truth, she demanded.

What are you all hiding from me? Seeing that the wouldnt drop it, Stanley finally gave in Look, its because- But just as he was about to spill the truth, a familiar voice cut in from behind. Stanley froze He turned slowly.

Brandon stood there, smiling faintly, eyes gleaming with something unrealable .

Stanley instinctively took a step back.

Brandon Noelles voice cout low, her face pale.

She didnt know what exactly was coming, but her instincts told her something was very wrong 226 PM Chapter 283 Brandons smile deepened.

Lets talk, Noelle Stanley immediately stepped in front of her.

Dont go Brandons gaze slid to him, mocking.

Since when did you becNicolass lapdog Stanley didnt even know why he was still here.

He couldve left with Harley and Tina carler but after overhearing Brandons ominous exchange with Nicolas, he just couldnt bring himself to leave Noelle alone.

Noelle looked at Brandons cold, commanding eyes, then at Stanleys clearly terrified face.

After a moment of hesitation, she stepped.

forward and said.

Its okay.

Stanley.

Ill go.

Stanley tried to stop her again, gripping her arm.

Dont.

But Noelle gently shook her head.

If Brandon had truly decided to do something, staying away wouldnt change anything.

She might as well face him head on and figure out what exactly he wanted.

She followed Brandon out of the villa.

Stanley, unable to follow, could only stay behind and figure out a way to evacuate the Anderson family if things went south Outside, Noelle and Brandon walked to the garden pavilion.

Once they were alone, she cut straight to the point.

Brandon, what are you trying to do? She had too many questions.

Why had Nicolas been so busy all day? Why was Stanley so tense ! But Brandon didnt answer.

Instead, he turned the question around.

Do you like the Andersons ! Yes, Noelle replied without hesitation, eyeing him warily.

Hed asked her this before why bring it up again? What about Nicolas ? he asked.

like him too, she said plainly.

I like And Harley Tina! Stanley ! I like them all.

Brandon chuckled Amazing.

In just six months, youve gained a family, a lover, and friends But his smile was cold.

There was no warmth, no sincerity.

Just the kind of chill that crawled up your spine and sank into your bones.

Brandon, what are you trying to say? Noelle asked, 1, unease growing g in her chest.

He gave a small, almost tender smile.

No....

thats not the right question.

What do you mean? Its not about what Im going to do, Brandon said softly.

Its about what youre going to do.

Mel Noelles heart skipped a beat.

A sudden urge to run surged through her.

Before she could move.

Brandon placed his hands on her shoulders.

She flinched, instinctively trying to pull away but he firmly turned her around Just ahead, Damon stood in the distance, unaware of their presence.

He was holding his phone, seemingly deep in a call.

Thanks to her enhanced hearing.

Noelle could make out the conversation.

Le happy birthday, Damon said calmly.

Leias voice cthrough, soft and bitter.

Every day feels like hell.

Theres nothing I can do about that, he said flatly.

You just on me.

I heard about the dress you got Noelle for her party.

You never spent that kind of money She never went through the things you put her through, Damon said quietly . You see? Youre doing it again always taking her side.

I think we should end this call, Damon said gently.

Youre not in a good headspace right now Wait dont hang up Damon its Noelles birthday, I just want to say happy birthday- No. Damon interrupted.

I know what youre trying to do.

And I wont let you ruin her day.

Leias voice turned sharp.

Damon Goodbye, Leia He ended the call without another word.

Noelle had heard everything.

Her chest felt warm Was Damon ... protecting her? He didnt even entertain Leias request.

It wasnt right to be happy about someone elses pain, but ... something about it made her feel oddly cherished .

And yet, the fleeting moment of comfort was shattered as Brandon leaned in His lips brushed her car, voice low and ice cold. You asked what I want you to do ? he murmured.

Then listen closely, Noelle.
