Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 226 Chapter 226 When Adriel asked the ques question.

Elsie lifted her head and looked at him.

Her bright, sky blue eyes blinked with innocent confusion.

Tm braiding our for a bit.

Adriel continued, do you want to cwithto the hospital, or stay here with Noelle Elsie hesitated and slowly rose to her feet.

Though shed grown deeply attached to Noelle, it was clear she still didnt want to for too far from Adriel either. Sering her struggle to decide, Adriels lips curved into a faint, satisfied smile.

So shes not completely heartless after all.

He extended a hand toward her.

Cwith me, then Elie looked at the hand he offered, seemingly about to take it.

But then she glanced at Noelle, a clear reluctance in her eye her hand still rightly gripping Noelles arm.

Tom between the two, she looked utterly conflicted.

Just as the situation reached a silent standoff, Noelle unexpectedly stepped in to defuse it with perfect timing and a last of social finesse.

Td like to visit Dad too, she said sweetly, standing up.

Ill cwith you, Adriel Elie visibly brightened.

Her entire face lit up as she clung tighter to Noelles arm and turned a hopeful gaze toriel .

Noelle smiled at him too wide eyed and expectant, mirroring the slook.

Adriel glanced between them the two identical expressions staring him down.

He sighed, helpless.

Alright, lets go. Noelle beamed.

Yay! Ee ya Ehie chimed in joyfully.

Noelle looked at her and couldnt help thinking that Elsie was her lucky charm, Just moments ago, she hadnt the faintest clue how to bridge the distance between her and Adriel.

Now, with Elsie stuck to her like glue, getting close to him was suddenly as easy as breathing At this rate, III finish the mission in no time: Giddy, she threw her arms around Elsie and bounced happily.

Elsie, youre the best ! Elsie didnt understand the words, but she understood the hug and returned it, just as cheerful, Watching the two of them wrapped around each other, the rest of the Andersons hard varied reactions Els face twitched.

I swear, its like watching two overgrown toddlers.

Even the usually stoic Charlie muttered, Agreed Bennett chuckled, eyes narrowing with amusement.

They really are something Damon scanned the two girls and nodded.

Ill allow it In the car.

Noelle and Elsie sar on either side of Adriel in the backseat Elsie, perfectly content, had one arm wrapped around Noelle and the other linked with Adriels.

She wore a sofi, satisfied smile that made her look like shed found her place in the world.

Adriel glanced down at her, and for once, the cool rationality in his eyes gave way to something warmer in almost indulgent fondnews.

Noelle Seeing an opportunity, she decided to strike up a conversation Adriel she asked, smiling innocently, where did you meet Elsie ? He looked at her briefly, expression unreadable.

Truth be told, his feelings toward Noelle were complicated.

Hed never considered himself a good brother.

To him, family honor had always cbefore blood ties.

When he first learned of Noelles existence, hed investigated her background and found nothing impressive shed dropped out of middle school and spent years drafting aimlessly.

Frankly, Adriel had been disappointed.

She didnt in the mold of an Anderson In fact, hed even wished shed never shown up, that Leia lud remained the only sister.

li was cold, even cruel but it had been the truth.

And yet, in just a few months, the family dynamic had flipped on its head.

Noelle, once unwelcand overlooked, had integrated seamlessly into their world Leis, once beloved, had been exposed as someone capable of poisoning the father who raised her.

The perfect lule sister had turned out to be venomous, while the mister had proven strong, loyal, and even admirable.

Chapter 296 Now Adriel alidnt know how to treat Noelle.

He couldnt just change his attitude overnight he wasnt someone who faked warmth for appearances.

But unexpectedly.

Noelle was the ne who had the first step.

She smiled at him, asked questions, offered him a way in.

Adriel was a businesanan dharp, adaptable.

Since Noelle had given him the opportunity, he saw no reason to keep his distance.

She was in an alley near i heimic all plant when it exploded, he said calmly.

I found her there ( 1, 1 see Noelle nodded.

And youve been together ever si ver since! Living together toad.

Eating together? She gave him a look.

Sleeping together too? Yes Adriel answered automatically, then froze.

His eyes narrowed as ise turned sharply to Noelle, who was staring at him with mock surprise and Wow, she said, pretending to be shocked.

Thats fast She thought of how long shed been with Nick, and theyd harely shared a bed.

Meanwhile, Adriel and Elsic had reached that milestone in no time.

Adriel pinched the bridge of his nose, irritated.

Cant believe I walked right into that.

Dont repeat that to anyone, he said wearily.

Why not Noelle asked innocently. It could give people the wrong impression about Elsie Why would it! Noelle blinked.

Unless ... you dont plan to take responsibility? Are you a heartless playboy, Adriel Tm not he said firmly othe though he couldn't quite figure out how this conversation had spiraled into a public interrogation But Else was also looking up at him now, curious and wide eyed, so he had no choice but to clarify. I will take responsibility.

But shes lost her memory.

Shes mentally not quite stable.

I dont know if, once she recovers, shell still want to be with me? That question struck a nerve.

Adriels gaze lowered toward the girl leaning on him, There was a flicker of something bitter in his expressión ..

If she doesnt, he said quietly, then of course III let her go Noelle made a face.

Then why sleep with her in the first place! Thats taking advantage of her read in a book thats called being a !fread a creep. Adriel s temnj le twitched He wasnt a saint, but when it cto Eiste, he had never crossed any lines.

We may have shared a bed, but Ive never touched her inappropriately.

he said with strained panence.

She refused to sleep alone.

Even when I set up a room for her, shed end up sneaking into my bed by morning.

After trying to correct it a few times.

I gave up.

But Ive never done anything to her.

Oh Norli nodded as if understanding, then leaned in with a mischievous look and whispered, so ... youre just not capable. Adriel nearly choked He clenched his bats, trying very hard not to lose it.

He was this close to telling her off but what was the point! -This girl was imponable .
