After spending some time with the family downstairs, Noelle returned to her room. Bored, she picked up her phone and called Nicolas to share the great news about Damon’s change in atilinde,
The call connected quickly.

“O” Nicolas chuckled softly. “Well, it’s about time he showed some decency?”
In Nicolac’s eyes, Damon’s actions were just the bare minimum. After all, Noelle had gotten hurt protecting him. If Damon hadn’t shown any concern, he’d be heartless.
This happy Noelle løgled, lying on her bed, her legs kicking in the air. She held the phone close, smiling as she continued. “Now I’ve got Daman and Eh on my vide. I just need to win over Adnel, Bennett, and Clearlier.

Nicolas laughed softly at her dilemma. “Don’t worry.
z, sweetheart. I’ve looked into Charlie. He’s reserved and rational, but he’s not heartless. Your personality is actually perfect for someone like him”
“Really?” Noelle sounded skeptical
“Absolutely” Nicolas reassured her. “Most people wonki back off when faced with someone as icy as Charlie, but you’re different. Even if he seems distant or dismissive, you probably wouldn’t even notice. So the key to wiming him over is persistence”
“Prisistrier?” Noelle repeated
“Yes,” Nicolas explained “Keep at it Wear him down until he has no choice but to accept you. Eventually, you’ll leave a lasting impression on him.
Plus, you’re the creator of “The Shadows! Even if he hasn’t said ach, the fact that he’s been coming home more often suggests he’s already intrigued by you”

She had been unsure about how to approach Charlie, but after Nicolas’s advice, she felt confident she could win him over som
“Of course.” Nicolas said with a chuckle. “Would I lie to you?“.
Noelle giggled, rolling around on her bed. “Nick, thank you! With your advice, I feel like I can do anything!”
“Sweetheart, do we even need to say thank you between us?” Nicolas’s voice was warm and teasing, filled with affection.
Noelle couldn’t stop smiling. Just talking to Nicolas made her heart race. She had never felt this way about anyone before. Her emotions were souring, her blood pumping, and she felt a thrill she had never experienced
Meanwhile, in a lab, a massive monitor displayed a

The technician observing it immediately reported. “The subject is experiencing intense emotional fluctuations. All physiological readings are above normal levels
In a conference room, several men in white coats gathered around a table, examining the latest data.
One of them remarked, “This is an unexpected development. Before the bonds of family were fully established, the bond of love has already
formed”
Another asked, “Since the subject has formed an emotional bond, should we proceed with the test??
The “test” they referred to was the severing of emotional ties. Their goal was to create a “perfect human–one without weaknesses or flaws. Throughout history, emotions had always been a destabilizing force, capable of undermining even the most secure situations.
Therefore, the most critical attribute of their “perfect human wasn’t incelligence or physical prowess, but the ability to remain emotionless and detached in the face of any emotional influence.
Human emotions could be broadly categorized into three types: familial love, romantic love, and friendship. These were the most potent emotional bonds, and only by severing them could their “perfect human remain invincible.
“It’s too soon,” another voice interjected. “Only the bond of love has formed. Testing now could disrupt the subject’s subsequent actions. Let’s wait until all three bonds are established before conducting the test. We still have six months”
At the mention of time, one of the men frowned. “Time might not be as plentiful as we think.”
“What do you mean?” the others asked.
He placed a document on the table. It featured a strikingly beautiful, androgynous man around 25 years old, with mesmerizing emerakl–green eyes that exuded an eerie, almost supernatural aura.
Despite his breathtaking beauty, there was something unsettling about him.
“Who is this?” the others asked, puzzled.
The man explained, “This individual was part of the same experiment as the subject. He’s the child of a high–ranking official and was returned after passing all the tests”
So what?
“We’ve just received word that he’s been appointed as the new commander of our regional lab. Aust before taking up his position, he made one
