Two weeks later.

Noel was about to retire for the day, but the moment he opened the door to his room, he couldn't help but find a familiar figure he had been waiting for a long time.

"Eh?!" Noel widened his eyes in shock. "Anna?"

Because of the nature of her trip, she couldn't show herself in public. So, she had to leave and return during the night, meaning Noel wouldn't know if she was already back or not.

And tonight was a huge surprise for her because Anna had already returned, waiting for him on the bed.

Noel rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating because he had missed her. "It seems I have overworked myself."

Anna chuckled while saying, "You are not imagining things. I'm home."

Noel's body trembled as he couldn't believe what she had just said. He staggered to the bed. "You are really back."

Anna made a big smile as she leaped toward Noel, hugging him. The hug was firm to show how much she missed him and didn't want to leave his side anymore.

"I'm glad that you're alright." Noel closed his eyes. He felt relieved that Anna was finally back. It didn't seem she received any harm, which finally put his heart at ease.

"Mhm. I miss you. Leaving you for a month made me feel empty, making me realize how much I love you."

Noel smiled. "I miss you too."

"Really? Weren't you too busy to think about me?" Anna grinned.

"What? How can I?"

"So, you felt lonely when I wasn't here?"

Noel's body shook. She didn't expect to see Anna teasing him.

"You might not know it, but I have sworn to myself that I will become bolder once I return. The trip just showed me how important it was." Anna made a big smile. "That's why I'm not going to hold back anymore and show everyone how much I love you."

Noel blinked a few times. The trip seemed to be important for another reason.
