After saying that, Noah closed the door.


    Outside the door, Grandpa Clemens sighed deeply. He thought his rtionship with Noah was starting to improve, but Noah was still distant from him.


    Noah was his beloved great-grandson and the heir he had high hopes for. He had put so much effort into nurturing him, but now things had turned out like this. Inside the room, Noah also felt a bit guilty. He had been rude to great-grandfather just now in a moment of urgency, and great-grandfather must be feeling upset. "Squawk-"


    At that moment, a hawk''s cry suddenly emanated from theputer, prompting Noah to rush to check.


    The mechanical pigeon had flown to the northern part of Hillside Vi,nding on a tall tree with its camera pointed directly at the mansion''s entrance.


    A woman got out of a car, holding the injured hawk, which pped its wings in distress and squawked incessantly.


    After scolding a few times, the hawk obediently nestled in her arms.


    In the footage, the camera captured the woman''s slender figure, evoking a sense of inexplicable familiarity.


    Noah wanted to see the woman''s face clearly, but she never turned around. It wasn''t until she reached the door that she suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked over...


    Noah stared at the screen intently, his heart almost stop beating..


    Just then, the hawk pped its wings, blocking the woman''s face.


    Then, the woman directly carried the hawk into the vi. A female bodyguard with binocrs looked over in this direction, seemingly searching for something. Learning from thest lesson, this time, Noah installed a hidden system on the mechanical pigeon.


    Sure enough, the mechanical pigeon hid behind dense foliage and wasn''t discovered.


    The female bodyguard didn''t notice anything unusual. She entered the house with binocrs while the other bodyguards also became busy.


    Noah was determined to find out the truth, so he had the mechanical pigeon hide in the tree.


    As soon as the woman left the vi, it could capture her.


    Noah kept his eyes on theputer for a while longer. Not only did the woman note out, but she also had the main gate closed.


    It seemed she wouldn''te out for a while.


    However, in order to uncover the truth sooner, Noah continued to watch.


    "Knock, knock!" At that moment, there was another knock on the door from outside.


    Noah, feeling exasperated, asked, "Who is it?"


    "It''s me, Noah," Nathan''s voice came through.


    "Come in," Noah rxed a bit.


    Nathan walked in carrying a tray with three slices of chocte toast and a ss of milk.


    "Noah, Mary has learned how to make chocte toast. I brought you some to try," Nathan said.


    "Thank you." Noah nced up, then returned his gaze to theputer screen. "Mary has tried dozens of times and finally seeded this time!"


    "Dozens of times?" Nathan''s clear, bright eyes widened.


    "You and Mia head off to school early every day, so naturally you''re unaware. Mary spends her idle time at home practicing making chocte toast, and the botched batches are handed over to the others, who haveined about it numerous times."


    "No wonder..." Nathan suddenly realized. "I just praised Mary for her talent and quick learning. She blushed and humbly shared that this sess was preceded by numerous failures and setbacks." "Yeah, 38 times." Noah nodded faintly.


    "Mary is really thoughtful." Nathan ced the breakfast in front of Noah. "Noah, are you really not going to try?"


    Noah reached out, took a bite of chocte toast, and eximed, "It''s delicious. Thank Mary for me."


    Frowning slightly, Nathan endured and finally couldn''t help but ask, "Noah, why are you like this?"


    "What?" Noah finally turned to look at him.


    "Great-grandfather and Dad are very fond of us; Mary, Doctor Rey, is also very kind to us. Why do you always keep people at a distance?"
