Although Nox was socializing, his eyes were fixed on Shelly. He watched as she quietly stayed by Bella's side.
"Mr. Winter?" a man who was socializing with him suddenly called out to him.
Nox's eyes flickered, and he could not believe he was distracted. He then calmly resumed his conversation with the other party. However, his eyes were still on Shelly. He felt that he would never get tired of looking at her.
Shelly, who was with Bella, was drawn to Bella's naive appearance. Seeing how happy Bella was, she felt a little guilty and thought about when she would be able to give Bella such a beautiful and unforgettable birthday party.
At that thought, she could not help but turn to look at Nox, and her heart skipped a beat. That was when she realized that she depended on Nox and even had some expectations. It also made her question whether it was really because of Nox's performance recently that she found Nox to be a reliable person.
