Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 43 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.

Cto 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 III 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 tellwhy? 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 tcame, 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 Em maybe Noelle is just like that withBut 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.

Lettake 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 Din the 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 .
