"Does she care about me?" Noah pondered. His mood brightened up by the mere thought of it. That means he can start his plan; the sooner, the better.
Aria took a look at Noah's grandfather. She knew how hard it was to be the patriarch of the most powerful and influential family. There were enemies lurking around them waiting for their downfall. She sympathized with Noah, he had to constantly put on a fight to stay in power. In this world, those who had power were held at the highest position by all the people. So, there were many power-hungry wolves disguised as sheep around him, plotting to ruin him.
Noah silently finished the food in the box thinking about Aria. He took a peek at her, she looked spaced out. He kept staring at her, admiring her beauty. She was so beautiful that he wished to lock her up, away from the eyes of all lecherous men.
