Nicolas dropped Noelle off at home.
However, when she snuck into the hall like a thief, she
Initially, Noelle was worried that Eli might be lurking downstairs, waiting to ambush her. However, found only Kimberly there, with no one else in sight.
“Noelle“” Kimberly was downstairs, sipping water. She was unprised to see Noelle and asked, “Why are you back?”
Mom Noelle greeted her warmly, then explained, I didn’t have much going on, so I came back
Kimberly frowned in confusion. How can you have ‘nothing going on? Didn’t you say there was military training after school started? Leia’s not back because they even have night sessions. How did you gri away!”
“Oh that Noelle replied, puffing out her chest proudly. “Mom, I had a 1K match with the instructors today. They said if I beat them. I wouldn’t have to attend military training. So for the next 3 days, Tim excused from it.”
“Really Kimberly’s face lit up with astonishment and delight. She looked her daughter up and down in disbelief. “Noelle, you’re telling me you beat the instructors?
“Of course Leven took them down in one move — -like this… With that, Noelle performed a few textbook military–style moves for her mother.
Kimberly stared, dumbfounded. “Oh my my daughter is this amazing?”
Just then. Noelle’s stomach let out a loud growl.
Her energy deflated like a popped balloon. Holding her stomach, she muttered pitifully. “Mom, I’m starving”
Kimberly couldn’t help but laugh. Covering her mouth, she said helplessly. “You’re just like a little monkey, aren’t you? Alright, what do you want to rat Tell me, and I make it for you”
Noelle’s eyes widened in surprise. “Mom, are you cooking for me yourself?”
“Yes” Kimberly nodded. “Most of the staff have gone to rest, and I don’t want to bother them. Besides, I’ve never cooked for you before, so consider this me making in up to you”
“Great” Noelle’s eyes sparkled with excitement. I want chicken, roast duck, and maybe some more!”
Kimberly’s smile almost faltered. This child… she really isn’t holding back, is she?
“Mor! What’s wrong” Noelle tilted her head curiously, noticing her mother’s hesitant expression.
Kimberly took a deep breath and gave her daughter an awkward smile. “Noelle, it’s late, and complicated dishes are hard to make right now. How about something simpler?”
After a moment of thought, Noelle’s eyes!
es lit up. “How about pasta!“
“Sure!” Kimberly sighed in relief, smiling brightly. “Noelle, just wait. I’ll get it ready for you.
“Okay?” Noelle nodded, watching as Kimberly disappeared into the kitchen.
About five minutes later, Noelle’s father, Vincent, came downstairs Seeing only Noelle in the hall, he looked equally surprised. “Noelle, why are you back
“Dad, like this.” Noelle explained the situation to Vincent as well.
After bearing her out, Vincent looked skeptical. “You! Beat the instructor?”
i without reason. Noelle was petite and looked rather delicate–like she might blow away in a strong wind. How could she possibly

“Let’s keep it higla, he said, walking toward her. “You can make the first move
Before he could finish his sentence, Noelle’s figure blurred and seemed to vanish into thin air
When he blinked, she was suddenly right in front of him
In that instant, an icy, oppressive aura engulfed Vincent, freezing him in place. His heart pounded wildly, a primal sense of fear overtaking him—as though death itsell had come for him
Before he could tract, Noelle’s fist lightly touched his chin. If she had followed through, Vincent would’ve been sent flying,
But Noelle didn’t strike. She simply withdrew her hand with a playful smile. “Dad, you lost.”
Vincent stared at her blankly, taking a moment to recover from the shock.
When he finally regained his composure, he looked at his petite daughter and paused for a beat before bursting into laughter. “You really are my daughter–impressive skills!”
“Right? I’m awesome” Noelle beamed, not shy about basking in the praise
“You
sure are. Vincent’s gaze softened, clearly reassessing his opinion of her.
Just then, a burnt smell wafted through the air.
Vincent’s nose twitched, and a thought struck him. “By the way. Noelle, have you seen your mom! She said she was coming down for water
“Mom’s cooking for me. Noelle replied cheerfully.
“What?” Vincent’s expression shifted dramatically. Staring at her in disbelief, he stammered, “Noelle, what did you say? Your mom is doing what?”

Before he could finish, Kimberly’s voice called out from the kitchen “Vincent, what are you doing down here?”
A chill ran down Vincent’s spine. Slowly, he turned to see Kimberly walking toward them, smiling radiantly. “I’m making pasta for Noelle. Since you’re here, why don’t you join us?”
“No need I don’t eat at night Vincent tried to excuse himself, inching toward the stairs.
But before lar could escape, Kunberly’s hand landed on his shoulder. Her smile was “warm” as she asked, “What’s wrong? Your wife rarely cooks, and you’re not even planning to try it. Vincent?”
Vincent sighed inwardly. Dear, if you want to kill me, just say so,
In the end, Vincent was forced to sit the dining table with Noelle as Kimberly went back to the kitchen to bring out the pasta.
Nocile, full of anticipation, said, “I wonder how Moon’s cooking will taste. This is the first time I’ve ever had her food.”
Beside Tier, Vincent looked a little green. Rubbing his temple, he muttered, “Don’t get your hopes up too much…”
Huh? Why not? Noelle asked, puzzled
“You’ll see,” Vinceni replied grimly, his face darkening as unpleasant men
