Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 158 Chapter 158 Chapter 158 Noelle smiled brightly at him.

Because were siblings ! Of course, I want my older brother to like me! Labs had assigned her.

Her answer seemed simple enough, but the real reason was far more complicated.

ted.

It was all part was all part of the mission the labs ha Her objective in returning to the Anderson family was to get everyone to like her.

Eli was already warming up to her, and Darmon had stopped his unfair favoritism toward Leia Now it was Charbhes run.

Noelle needed him to bond with her just as Damon and Eli had or else the mission wouldnt be complete Charlie looked at her her smile as bright as the sim.

His cold eyes flickered slightly, but he turned his gaze away, his voice cool I dont know about others, but liking someone... thats a luxury for me.

Aluxury? Noelle asked, confused.

Charlie connued, his tone unchanged.

You might have smisconceptions.

But the truth is, not all siblings get along like they do in fairy tales.

Especially in rich families.

Theres always skind of power struggle going on.

Siblings might seem all cozy on the outside, but behind closed doors, theyre plotting against each other.

Ive seen it plenty of times siblings turning on one another, sending their family members to prison for power and wealth.

Im not like those people, though, I wont turn against my siblings.

But Im also not going to be like Damon and Eli, fighting tooth and nail to protect you or Leia.

The only thing I can promise you is that III do my duty as an older brother.

But if you expect anything more than that, or wantto break my principles for you, thats not happening. Understand ** Charlie wasnt one to share his thoughts freely, so hearing him speak so much was rare.

Noelle listened closely, her big, bright eyes focused on him, then she blinked.

After a moment, she asked a question that caught him off guard.

Charlie, have you ever liked anyone? Not Mom, Dad, any of your brothers, or Leia From the first moment Noelle had met Charlie, shed found him distant and hard to approach.

Even at home, she had never seen him show warmth toward anyone.

He was always polite but distant, cold even.

Charlie paused, surprised by the question.

He thought about it for a moment, and realized... No, he hadnt liked anyone.

As for his parents, he obeyed them out of a sense of duty.

But if they crossed line, he wouldnt blindly follow.

Hed stick to his principles.

As for his siblings, he interacted with them because they shared the sblood.

Keeping things amicable was just the way of things.

As the younger be the younger brother, he listened to his ol older brothers, and a nd as the older brother, he looked out for the younger ones.

It was all very methodical Because thats just how society expected him to behave.

And so, thats what he did.

Charlie couldnt honestly say he liked his family.

After all, in his eyes, each of his parents and siblings had their flaws.

None of them were perfect.

They were tied together by blood, bound by a bond called family, but if it werent for that connection, Charlie felt like he wouldnt have bothered with then.

Still, there was no need for Noelle to know that, so he didnt answer her question.

But Noelle, as if she had suddenly leveled up in emotional intelligence, seemed to catch on that Charlie wasnt going to say anything She smiled and, as though she had figured it all out, declared, I can tell Charlie.

You dont like anyone.

But dont worry.

Ill work hard to be the first pon you like! At her words, Charlies eyelids ids twitched.

His sharp, good looking brows furrowed slightly as he turned his gaze back to Noelle Why bother? I already told you, that as long as you dont cause trouble.

I wont make things difficult for you.

If you need help, III do what I can, bnt that 1/2 2:52 PM | Chapter 138 enough Noelle paused, thinking it over for a second Well I guess thats already pretty generous of you.

But then she shook her head and flashed him another smile.

Is not enough Charlie was speechless.

I still want you to like me.

Charlie ! she said cheerfully, a, a clear mission in her voice.

Charlie, at a loss for words, couldnt understand why Noelle was so fixated on getting him to like her.

He thought he had made it clear.

He wouldnt make life hard for her, and if it was within his power, hed help.

He wondered, What else could she want! He didnt get why she had to keep pressing him about it..

After all, she had already carved out a place for herself in the Anderson Family.

As her older brother, why did his affection matter so much? He just couldnt understand it Hed always felt there was something off about Noelle something about her sudden appearance in the Anderson family and her claiming to be related to them felt strange.

He suspected there was more to the story than she was letting on But, Charlie knew that even if he asked, she probably wouldnt tell him.

Charlie wasnt the type to get tangled in emotional , and Noelles persistence was starting to irritate him. Turning his face away, he said coldly. Do whatever you want.

But if you get in my way.

III lose my patience.

No worries, no worries! Noelle said with a grin.

I want you to like me, not hate met III only do the things you like, and avoid the things you don't Really? Charlie asked; raising an eyebrow and looking at her again. Noelle nodded enthusiastically.

Yes! Then Ill tell you tell you this : I dont like it when youre all over n over.

So, can you givesspace? Noelle paused for a brief moment, then stood her ground, hands on her hips , and said firmly.

Thats not going to happen! Charlie blinked.

Didnt you just say youd avoid everything I dont like ? Noelle blinked innocently.

Well, the thing is, if I want you to like me, its kind of a given, right? Ifh O didnt want you to like me, then your likes and dislikes wouldnt matter toat all! Charlie was at a loss for words. He couldnt help but think that Noelle didnt have much filter.

He thought, Does she need to say everything that popped into her head ? Charlie was cold by nature, but he knew how to handle things with h subtlety, Norlle the other hand, was like a blunt instrument, totally lacking in Charlie had hoped that by being clear with her, theyd be able to keep things simple no lama, no entanglements. But it seemed that Noelle was even more persistent than hed imagined, and it was starting to give him a headache.

Still, her behavior hadnt crossed any lines yet, so he could still tolerate it.

Like hed told Leis before, as long as the issue didnt cross his boundaries, he could indulge her a little.

This applied to Noelle too.

So Charlie didnt snap at her.

Instead, he just picked up his pace.

Noelle, seeing him speed up, quickly followed suit.

She pled her hand and shed sitt siste dess slayful speile teksalla i kased una rastlay simies Reyna bezni E
