"Big Brother!"
Eliza ran over with a bright smile and threw herself at Nolan, hugging his right leg.
"I missed you so much, Big Brother!"
She rubbed her cheek against his leg like a kitten asking for attention.
Nolan smiled and picked her up.
"How have you been? Have you been a good girl?" he asked, kissing her chubby cheek.
"Hehe..." Eliza giggled happily. "I've been a good girl, Big Brother! I helped Sister Shion and did all my chores!"
She puffed out her little chest proudly.
Nolan laughed softly and ruffled her hair.
"Good girl. Since you've been so good, I got you a little present."
He slipped a hand into his pocket and took out a purple bracelet.
"Here. This is for you."
"Wow! It's so pretty!"
Eliza's eyes sparkled as she happily took the bracelet.
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
Nolan smiled and gently patted her head.
The two chatted for a while before Nolan finally asked, "Where's Shion? Why isn't she in her office?"
He looked around but didn't see her anywhere.
