GoodNovelChapter 220 Chapter 220 After Leia was taken away by the police, Rennen followed to give his statement.
The others stayed behind at the house, the atmosphere heavy with shock.
No one had expected it.
The one whod poisoned their father turned out to be Leia the girl whood grown up with them under the sroof for eighteen years.
Kimberly had been through one blow after another.
She looked like shed aged ten years in a day.
Everyone insisted she rest, but she was back downstairs less than thirty minutes later, insisting on going to the hospital to be with their father.
With no other choice, they had the driver take her.
Thankfully, the hospital soon delivered a bit of good news: Vincent had regained full consciousness and was recovering well.
He could even speak normally again For the Anderson family, still reeling from betrayal, this glimmer of hope was like a breath of fresh air.
Later that evening, the Anderson siblings gathered again.
Eli scratched his head in frustration.
What the hell kind of twisted is this? Lela mustve lost her mind.
Why couldnt she just talk things out like a normal person! Poisoning someone? Seriously? She completely lost it.
Thank God Dads okay now He paused, then turned to Charlie .
By the way, PIP you tell Aurel So he should be on his way back by now, right? Charlie replied flady.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI called him earlier.
Hes booked a flight and should be back tonight Good Eli nodded, then looked around the room with a frown. Wait, wheres Damon ? And Noelle ? Dont tellhes blaming Noelle for Leia getting arrested ... That thought made Eli instantly tense up.
more Charlie sighed.
Relax.
Damon hasnt blamed Noelle for anything in a long time.
Even when Noelle grabbed Lela by the throat, Damon was mu worned about Noelle getting into trouble than about Leis being the one attacked.
Eli blinked.
Huh....
youre right.
He calmed down, then added, Now that I think about it, when did Damons attitude toward Noelle start to change? I didnt even notice it at first, One day I just realized hry, everyone seems to have accepted her already Charlies expression remained neutral.
Who knows.
Even he hadnt expected it.
In just a few short months; theyd all gradually cto accept Noelle.
Eli glanced at him, picking up on his tone.
So ....
youve accepted her too, huh? Cto think of it, youve been pretty protective of her lately He raised an eyebrow, clearly teasing.
When Reyna wanted to sue her, you cstraight toasking for details..
When Leia tried to pin the Nicolas incident on Noelle, you stood up for her.
Everi after Bennett scratched Noelles hand, you were the first to warn her about him, Sure, that all sounds like what a good older brother should do, Eli continued, grinning, but coming from you, Mr.
Cold and Distant, its kinila obvious.
Charlie gave him a cool, unimpressed look.
I just stated the facts.
Nothing more.
I wasnt taking sides.
Oh, con, Eli Laughed You really expectto believe that? He wasnt stupid.
Charlie hated clingy people.
He always kept his distance.
But N Noelle ? Noelle stuck to him like glue and he let her.
5.58 AM & Chapter 220 If it had been Leia trying that, shed have been frozen out on the spot.
Charlie was just as awkward as the rest of them he just hid it better.
Sure, sure.
Totally objective and impartial Eli teased.
Charlie, for all his usual calm, looked ever so slightly embarrassed.
To avoid the topic, he shifted the attention.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat about you? he said.
Youre not exactly subtle either.
Youve defended Noelle against beja more than once Me? El blinked then folded his arms with mock indignation. I am the definition of fairness and objectivity If Leia hadnt constantly been messing with Noelle, playing all those little mind games.
I wouldnt have said a word.
But she made mistakes and refused to own up to them.
Of course I wasnt going to be nice about it.
Noelle, on the other hand shes like a clueless puppy.
Always smiling, even when people are mean to her.
She gets tricked and doesnt even realize it.
As her brother, how could I not look out for her! What Eli didnt say out loud was that hed liked Noelle from the very first moment he saw her. She had this dazzling smile.
She looked like a doll when she wasnt talking but the moment she opened her mouth, she was adorably dumb.
Even when he was cold to her, she never took it personally.
Every tshe saw him, shed beam like sunshine and greet him with that cheerful voice.
And honestly, what kind of normal person wouldnt like someone liken that? Back then, but of respect for Leias feelings, hed tried to keep his distance. But now that he saw Leias true colors, it was no contest.
His loyalty had quietly shifted.
Thinking of Noelle again, Eli looked around.
Seriously, where did those two go? Im gonna find them Ad-free membership subscription
