Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 43 Harley , lets go .

Noelle said , tugging at Harleys sleeve .

Eli had left with Leia , and the group of girls who had gathered around him dispersed .

Harleys mind lingered on what had just happened , but Noelles call brought him back to the present .

He turned to her , his expression a mix of concern and frustration .

Noelle , youre the real daughter of the Anderson family , right ! Leia was switched at birth and wont even related to them ? Uh huh , thats right Why ? Noelle replied , her tone casual .

Harley frowned deeply , irritation flashing in his eyes .

Then why does Eli treat you like this ? He didnt even bother figuring out what happened before scalding you , and when he realized he was wrong , he didnt apologize .

He just left .

er ! Eli cares about Leia more .

She cried , so of course , hed rush to comfort her Noelle tilted her head , puzzled , Why does it matter ? Her tone was so matter of fact that Harleys anger surged .

Why does he care more about Leia ! Youre his actual sister .

Even if he doesnt favor you .

he should at least treat you equally .

How is this acceptable ! Noelle blinked , considering his words .

I guess you have a point Its not just a point its the truth Harleys voice rose .

You dont realize it , but the way he treats you is completely wrong .

Noelle was just too naive , and it seemed like she had no sense of the complexities of relationships at all .

Thats why , even being treated this way , she didnt seem to feel anything .

But then , something else crossed Harleys mind .

Could it be that Noelle had always been treated like this in th the Anderson family ! Perhaps , because everyone like Eli always favored Leia , Noelle never knew what it felt like to be supported or protected .

She had no sense of comparison , no sense of what she was missing because it was all she had ever know , Harley thought .

The thought made Harleys heart sink , a heavy weight sealing deep within him .

Noelle Harley began , his voice quieter but laced with concern .

Does everyone in the Anderson family treat Leia like this ? Like shes the center of the world ! Yeah Noelle replied with a shrug .

They all care more about Lela .

Compared to the others , Elis actually not that bad .

Harley stared at her in disbelief .

Not that bad ? Elis attitude alone is unacceptable ! If this is what you call not bad , then- He stopped himself , his anger boiling over .

Withour thinking , he grabbed Noelles hand .

Noelle , leave the Anderson family What ? Noelle looked at him , bewildered Harleys grip tightened as he met her gaze .

Come to my place .

Ill protect you .

I wont let anyone yell at you or treat you like this ever again .

No Noelle pulled her hand away .

Her tone was firm .

Im staying with the Andersons Why Harley demanded , unable to fathom her decision .

Theyve been with Leia for years and dont care about you .

Why put yourself through Noelle was stubborn , speaking each word carefully Then Ill stay in the Anderson family Why ? Harley didnt understand why someone as brilliant and capable as Noelle was so determined to stay with the Anderson family .

Even without then , she could thrive slar might even do better without them .

You wouldnt understand Noelle pouted , her gace drifting away .

But Harley was persistent , Then just tell me why ? Noelle , clearly imitated , frowned at Harley and snapped , Youre so annoying .

This doesnt concern you , and I wont tell you She stuck her tongue e out at him like a mischievous child and darted away , leaving Harley standing there , dumbfounded .

Noelle had her reasons .

The Anderson family night at treat her well now , but she had a mission to build a strong bond with them .

Once she succeeded , she could move on to her next goal and leave the Andersons behind .

Harley d didnt need to know any of this, though .

1/3 9.30 AM Chapter t When the time came , she would naturally carry out the new mission .

And then , she would say a final goodliye to the Anderson family .

But none of this lud anything to do with Harley .

Noelle hated anyone prying into her mission or asking about things related to it .

Besides , Noelle thought , Nick never priced war with questions .

Nick trusted her and let her keep her secret As she walked , Noelle found herself thinking about Nick .

If she ever had to leave for for her next mission , the realized , the might actually miss Meanwhile , Eli had taken Leia to his lounge On the way , he began to regret how he had acted .

Have I been too harsh on Noelle earlier ? i thought .

And hearing Leia say that she wasnt crying because of Noelle , he realized he hadnt apologized to Noelle , nor did he know if she was feeling hurt The thought of Noelles always sunny face , possibly crying somewhere out of his sight , made Eli uneasy Leia noticed Elis distraction and her gaze darkened .

She suddenly stopped .

El are you thinking about Noelle ! Im fine now , if you want to go find her , go ahead As she spoke , tears still clung to her lashes , her face a picture of vulnerability and forced strength .

Seeing her like that Eli couldnt bring himself to mention going to find Noelle .

No.

Leia , youre the most important right now .

Tell me , what really happened ? Why were y Its nothing really Leia bit her lip .

Nothing Eli frowned .

Then why were you crying ? were you crying ? Seeing Elis displeasure , Leia quickly added , Its just that Im too sensitive .

I saw Harley getting close to Noelle and it hurt .

Then , when I saw you .

I couldnt hold it in and cried When Leia mentioned Harley .

Eli recalled how Harley had defended Noelle .

He asked .

By the way , isnt Harley your high school classmate ? But I saw Harley getting closer to Noelle than to you .

Whats going on ? I dont know either Leia sniffed , looking sad .

Tasked Harley and Nuelle , but neither of them would tell me .

Why wouldnt they tell you ? Eli furrowed his brow Eli frowned .

Leias voor was full of melancholy .

Maybe to them , Fin just an outsider , so they didnt feel like sharing Thats ridiculous Elis expression darkened as he said .

Youre Noelles sister , her family , Why would she hide anything from you ? Taught Noelle considered us her family too .

Leia lowered her gaze , her voice tinged with both sadness and self mockery .

But now , it seems like I was just fooling myself .

Elis expopression shifted at her words .

Clenching his fists , he muttered , II Noelle really sees us as outsiders , then Ive been mistaken about her .

Leia noticed Elis stormy expression and , frigning sympathy , said , Eli , maybe Noelle is just like that with me , but with you , shes genuine .

Dont take it out on her because of me .

Were her family , so are you .

If she cant accept you , I v I wont accept her either .

2/3 Chapter 43 El Enough .

Let me take you to reu Alright Leia sighed , but a flicker of satisfaction crossed her eyes .

After thinking it through , Eli decided he should apologize to Noelle and find out what was going on with her and Harley.

But with all the student council duties , Eli got caught up in work and by the time he was done , it was too late to go home .

So , he ended up staying at the school dorm for the night .

By the next day , the first year students were starting military training .

And so , Eli missed the chance to meet Noelle .

Whether it was to apologize or to clear things up , everything had to be postponed .
