Nyx and Zayne locked eyes, and the air between them instantly grew more ambiguous. It was clearly heading toward at confession.

Nyx couldn’t help but hold her breath.

She had to admit that Zayne was incredibly, ridiculously handsome, with a top–tier job and a gentle personality. Over the time they’d spent together, she couldn’t find a single flaw in him.

But even if Zayne was the most perfect, tragic, and beautiful guy in the galaxy, she wasn’t going to accept his confession.

But she thought she might have misunderstood him.

‘Okay, maybe I’m overthinking this. I’m definitely overthinking it Nyx mentally smacked herself. She was never this vain.

Just then, Theon’s Intelligent Brain chimed with an incoming message. That awkward atmosphere vanished instantly.

All three pairs of eyes fell on Theon’s Intelligent Brain. Theon frowned, glanced at the caller ID, pressed his lips together, and then declined the call without hesitation.

Nyx let out a quiet sigh of relief, though she couldn’t help but notice the pained look on Theon’s face. He seemed a bit uneasy, like that unanswered call was weighing on him.

She was concerned but didn’t want to pry, especially since he wasn’t saying anything about it.

Taking advantage of the brief distraction, Zayne reached over and gently ruffled her hair, offering her a comforting smile.

They soon arrived at their destination. Seeing Nyx distracted as she looked around the villa, Zayne casually asked Theon, “Was that Marshal Lane’s call? Was it about Nyx?”

Theon gave a curt nod but clearly wasn’t in the mood to discuss it further.

He quickly caught up to Nyx and guided her to her room.

This villa had been purchased during Theon’s teenage years when he was still at Imperial Military Academy. Since graduating and officially joining the military, no one had lived here.

Before leaving the base for Central Planet yesterday, he had made sure to have the place cleaned and, for some reason, went ahead and bought a bunch of furniture and decor that he thought females would like.

At that time, Nyx and he were still strangers who barely had exchanged a few words. He hadn’t even become her guardian
