Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Alright, Leia reluctantly agreed, forcing a smile despite her confusion as to why Harley wanted Noelle to join th Then its sealed Harley said.

TI pick you both up on Saturday Really Leias mood instantly soared.

Are you sure it wont be too much trouble for you! their gathering.

Why does he care Not at all.

Thank you.

Harley.

Youre welcome, Harley replied.

Though hed offered to pick them up, his true motive was simple he couldnt wait to see Noelle again.

If theres nothing else, Ill hang up now, Harley added.

Alright, Harley.

Bye As Leia ended the call, her heart danced with excitement.

All her previous worries about reconnecting with Harley after his return had evaporated.

He had reached out to her first! Could it be that Harleys been thinking aboutall these years too? Leia wondered, her thoughts swirling with hope.

After all, he hadnt called anyone else, just her.

The idea sent her spirits soaring.

Even the fact that Noelle was coming along didnt seem like a big deal anymore.

Shes only coming because Harley invitedfirst, Leia reassured herself.

Without me, she wouldnt even be on his radar.

Around 10 PM, Nicolas dropped Noelle e off at at home.

By then, most of the Anderson family had retired to their moms, except for Eli, who was still downstairs The moment Eli saw Noelle, his expression darkened.

Noelle, chere.

Huh? Eli ? Noelle greeted him cheerfully, entirely oblivious to his sour mood.

She walked over with a bright smile and waved.

Youre still awake? I brought slate night snacks.

Want s? Eli, already simmering with frustration, glowered at her nonchalant demeanor.

You were with Nicolas all evening, werent you ! he demanded.

Eh Noelle blinked, surprised.

You know about that! So you were planning to hide it ? to marry Nick eventually.

No, not really.

Noelle shrugged, pulling a drumstick from the bag and taking a bite.

Its not like its a big deal.

Im going to marry so its not something I could hide forever want to marry Nicolas ? Elis voice grew colder. Hes a notorious playboy.

Youll regret this, mark my words? I dont care.

Noelle bit into the drumstick again, her voice muffled but resolute.

I like Nick, so I want to be with him.

Besides, he promised he wouldnt mess around with other women anymore.

The way she spoke balinally trusting and utterly unconcerned made her seem like one of those women who naively believe every sweet lie from a soundarl Elis frustration boiled over.

You actually believe that nonsense? Are you stupid? Do you think a man like him will ever settle for one woman ! And why not? Noelle said confidently, her eyes wide and innocent.

Im amazing, arent I? Eli was momentarily speechless.

Where does she get this unshakable confidence? Taking a sleep breath, he continued, Fine, lets say youre amazing.

But what if another woman seduces Nicolas and he cheats on you? What then? Dont worry, Hi Noelles tone was oddly casual as she bit into the drumstick with a loud crunch, snapping the bone clearly in half.

Her eyes glinted coldly as she said, If he breaks his promise, III just kill him .

18 9.28 AM Chapter 32 Eli shivered involuntarily.

Why does she sound so terrifying? Before he could respond, Noelle had already skipped upstairs with her snacks, leaving him standing there in stunned silence.

As Noelle reached her room, Leias door suddenly opened.

Noelle, wait Leia called.

Hmm? Noelle turned, her expression curious.

Whats up, Leia Well Leia hesitated, a friendly smile plastered on her face.

A classmate of mine just returned to the country, and he suggested we all go out for a meal on Saturday . Would you like to join us? Of course, if youre busy, thats fine too.

Leia hoped desperately that Noelle would decline.

If she didnt come, Leia could have Harley all to herself.

To her dismay, Noelle answered without hesitation, Saturday? Im free that day? Really? Leias smile faltered for a split second before she quickly recovered.

Dont you have plans with Nicolas that day? Nope.

Maybe you should make plans with him? Leia suggested, trying to sound casual But I dont know if hes free . Noelle replied, tilting her head thoughtfully.

You could call and ask him, Leia urged, eager to find a way to keep her fre from attending- Before Noelle could respond, Elis voice cut through the air, laced with suspicion Leia, why are you encouraging Noelle to contact Nicolas ? Leia froze, her heart skipping a beat.

She turned to see Eli glaring at her from the staircase, his expression unreadable but clearly displeased.

1 Eli ... Leia stammered, searching for an explanation: Youve always said Noelle should stay away from Nicolas . Why are you suddenly telling her to reach out to him? Caught off guard.

Leia struggled to maintain her composure.

I was just thinking that if Noelle spent more twith Nicolas, he might realize how great she is and change his ways.

Leia, thats naive, Eli said, his tone harsh.

Do you really think a playboy like him will ever change? Leias checks flushed with embarrassment.

She lowered her head and muttered, Youre right, Eli .

I was being foolish.

Im so sorry.

Eli turned to Noelle, about to lecture her next, but the darted into her room and slammed the door shut before he could get a word our Eli muttered under his breath, shaking his head in exasperation On Saturday morning, Leia meticulously dressed up, determined to make a lasting impression on Harley.

Over breakfast, Kimberly couldnt help but notice her daughters effort.

Leia, you look lovely today.

Yes Leia replied, blushing.

Leia and Harley were classmates in high school for six months donty'7: was years ago. Eli retorted.

Who remembers that kind of stuff? Leia clearly does Damon said with a smirk.

Harleys the one shes been pining for all this time.

Isnt that right, Leia ! Leia blushed even deeper, waving off Damons words.

Dont tease me, Damon .

Its just a friendly gathering.

Really? Damon raised an eyebrow.

Then whyd Harley call you personally to invite you? Sounds promising to me.

Leias heart soared at Damons words, though she tried to appear modest.

Its just a class reunion.

Besides, Noelles coming too At the mention of Noelle, everyone froze.
