Chapter 57 Damon … Noelle was like a broken record , calling his name repeatedly .
Damon was getting annoyed to no end .
He scowled at her and barked , What are you , summoning a spirit ! Stop trying to cozy up think this will make you replace Leia in my hear .
Huh ? Noelle blinked , confused about why Damon had veered the conversation in such a strange direction .
Pointing toward the source of the tempting aroma , she said earnestly .
Damon , I just wanted to gera a pancake .
p to me .
Dont A pancake ? Cant you buy it yourself ? Damon shot back irritably .
Why does everything have to involve me ? he thought If this were a normal day , Leia would have been the one accompanying him to the celebration , walking around the city , and enjoying the evening together .
Instead , it was Noelle by his side a situation he found ridiculous .
The more he thought about it , the more absurd it seemed .
He must have gone mad , indulging Noelle like this .
Oblivious to Damons inner turmoil , Noelle pouted and said , I would buy it myself , but I didnt bring any money … Damon sighed in frustration , pulling out a large bill from his wallet .
He handed it to her with a scowl .
Here .
Go buy it yourself .
Stop bothering me .
Okay .
Noelle accepted the money , then cheerfully said , Damon , wait here ! Ill be back with the pancake , and we can share it ! Enough with the chatter .
Go already .
Noelle dashed off in the direction of the aroma , disappearing from sight in no time .
Damon stood there , shaking his head .
Shes definitely a glutton reincarnated .
Ive never seen anyone who cats as much as her , he muttered to himself .
Fifteen minutes passed , and Noelle still hadnt returned .
Damon glanced toward the direction shed gone , a mix of worry and irritation creeping in .
Damon thought , Whats taking her so long to buy a pancake ? Did something happen ? As he debated whether to call her , his phone rang .
It was Leia .
Damons mood instantly lifted , and he answered eagerly .
Hello ? Leia ! Leias gentle voice came through the line .
Hi , Damont Congratulations on your win .
I knew yo I knew youd do great Hearing her congratulations , Damons heart softened , though he kept his tone teasing Oh , so you still remember me ? I thought your heart belonged entirely to Harley by now ? Leu hesitated for a moment , then replied shyly , Damon , stop teasing me ! What are you talking about ? Oli , am I wrong ? Liking Harley doesnt mean I dont care about you .
Leia said sweetly .
Both of you are very important to me Both Damon frowned .
A sibling shed grown up with for over a decade and a Lequal footing in her heart ? The thought unsettled him , but Leia quickly asked , Damon , where are y Why do you ask ? His voice turned slightly defensive .
a classmate shed only known for six months were they really on are you right now ! 1/3 Leia giggled .
You had a big race today .
lovei , 1 snuck out to find you Normally , Id come to cheer you on and celebrate , but I couldnt leave because of training .
Now that its What Damon was stunned .
You came out by yourself ! Yes , Iria said .
Thats reckless ! Where are e you ? Ill come get you Leis gave him her location .
At that moment .
Damons attention shifted entirely to Leia , completely forgetting about Noelle .
When Noelle finally returned with two pancakes in hand , ready to share one with Damon , she found the spot where shed left him completely empty .
Hmm ? Where did Damon go ? Noelle said .
Noelle looked around and called his name yielded no response Damon Damon ? Still no reply .
Sheduled his number .
After a moment .
he picked up Hello ? Damons voice came through .
Damon , where are you ? I cant find you .
Noelle said , puzzled .
Only then did Damon remember hed left Noelle behind .
But with Leis out on her own , his worry over her safety outweighed everything else .
Besides .
Noelle was capable of handling herself .

Just head home on your own , he said flatly .
What ? Noelle p protested Why did didnt you wait for me ? We couldve gone together ! Damons tone turned sharp .
Why would I wait for you ? ou ? Do you think Leia being out alone isnt dangerous ? I dont have time to wait for you to stroll luck You couldve at least told me , Noelle muttered , her voice tinged with disappointment .
Her complaint only irritated Damon further .
Feeling guilty but unwilling to admit it , his frustration boiled over .

If youre upset , gery to Mom , or shut up With that , he hung Noelle stared at her phone , the screen now dark .
Why is Damon so moody all of a sudden Everything had been fine earlier , but now he was throwing a tantrum Damon really isnt all there , huh ? His emotional stability is concerning , she thought .
With Damon gone , Noelle had no choice but to hail a cab home .
Unfortunately , luck wasnt on laer side .
Despite waiting for half an hour , she couldnt catch a single taxi .
Frustrated , she stomped her feet and muntered , Where did all the cars go Elly A A deep , magnetic voice called out to her from not far away .
Huh ? Noelle turned toward the voice and saw a tall , impeccably dressed man in a tailored ash gray suit stepping out of a car and walking toward her .

A radiant smile spread across her face as she ran toward him .
