Was she holding back her true feelings? Elly, tellhonestly when you heard Damon say those things earlier, did it really not hurt you? Nicolas cupped Noelles face gently, urging her to look at him.
Huh! Noelle lifted her gaze to meet his, her deep, dark eyes blinking innocently, her expression still carefree. Not really, she said lightly.
Damon is weaker thananyway.
Even if he wanted to kill me, he couldnt.
And if he hired an assassin ? Well, Im the worlds top assassin .
Anyone he hires would just be walking to their own grave Thats not what I meant Nicolas sighed, feeling like her focus was completely off He carefully explained, Damon is your biological brother.
For him to threaten your life just to protect Leia doesnt that make you feel cold inside? Nope, not really Noelle replied bluntly.

He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close.
Then why stay with family like that? Do you really think its worth it? he asked, his voice firm Do you think its not worth it? Noelle countered I dont think so, Nicolas said resolutely.

If I want money, I can earn it myself, Noelle replied.
She rubbed her head against Nicolass large hand before nestling against his chest, her gaze lowering.
Her f fingers brushed against the silver necklace around her neck, the metal cool against her skin as thoughts swirled in her mind.
Her decision to return to the Anderson family wasnt her own it had been dictated by the voice that cfrom her necklace.
The task was clear build a good relationship with her blood relatives.
But why? What was the purpose? she thought.
an unshakable trust in the d directives given by the voice tied to Nicolas, Questions of right or wrong, or the missions Deep in her instincts ultimate goal, werent hers to ponder.

Nicolas observed her silently, his arm tightening around her Elly appeared innocent and straightforward, but the secrets she carried ran deep, He could sense there was more to her return to the Anderson family, but her motives were an enigma.
Whenever he asked, she always deflected, brushing it off.
She could openly talk about being an assassin or an agent, yet her true purpose bere remained untouchable clearly a guarded If she wasnt willing to share, Nicolas wouldnt press her.
For now, it was enough to know she wasnt hurt by the Anderson familys actions.

He leaned down, planting a gentle kiss on her soft cheek, his voice brimming with indulgence.

Her smile was dazzling as she said sincerely, Nick, 1 like you the most, the most, the most! After their barbecue, Nicolas took Noelle back to his place.

He scooped her up in one swift motion, handing her the bag.

Hearing the word bath, Noelles eyes lit up with mischief.
She tilted her head and looked up at Nicolas with a hopeful gleam in her eyes.

If it were anyone else, theyd have O taken full advantage of her by now, Nick Nick, please, okay? Please? Noelles voice was soft and sweet, like a clingy little kitten Her body kept rubbing against Nicolas, the soft, sticky sensation constantly stimulating his senses, almost like a tiny spark igniting on dry tinder In an instant, it could catch fire and burn fiercely. Nicolass breath inevitably grew heavier as he restrained himself.
He pushed Noelle, who had been constantly rubbing against him, away slightly and said, Dont even think about it.

Noelle pouted unhappily and bargained with Nicolas saying Well ath together, but how about we , no bath sleep together tonight? Thats okay, right? Nicolas was speechless. Are you sure that request isnt even more unreasonable No Nicolas firmly rejected her Now Noelle really protested.

Noelle actually took a moment to seriously think about it.
This move clearly irritated Nicolas .
Shes really considering its feasibility? Nicolas lips curled into a thin line.
He suddenly leaned forward, grabbed Noelles wrist with one hand, and locked eyes with her.
