Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 31 Chapter 31 III take this call Leia stammered, rushing to a quieter comer as soon as she saw Harleys nflash on her phone screen.

Her heart raced with excitement and disbelief Whos she calling! Whys she so excited? Eli asked, noticing Leias uncontainable joy.

Damon glanced in her direction, frowning slightly at her visible enthusiasm, but he said nothing.

Leia hadnt expected Harley to call her After all, their relationship was no more than a fleeting six months as classmates Even during holidays, when she mustered the courage to send him carefully crafted greetings, his replies were always brief and delayed.

But now, Harley had taken the initiative to contact her Leias heart pounded in her chest.

He achially called met She took a deep breath to steady herself before answering.

Hello Leia said.

Hi is this Leia Harleys cool slightly distant voice cthrough the line.

At that moment.

Leias throat tightened, and she felt a lump in her chest.

It was his voice.

After all this time, she never expected to hear Harleys voice again.

Since Leia didnt respond right away.

Harley asked again, his tone slightly more distant.

Leia snapped back to reality.

Yes! Yes, its me, Leia ! she said hurriedly.

Harley, I saw in the group chat that youre coming back to attend Eston University Thats amazing Ill be going there too.

We should catch up once youre back! y moment.

Her words tumbled out in a rush, as if she feared he might hang up at any Yeah, sounds good, Harley replied, though he was taken aback by her unusual enthusiasm.

He remembered Leia as a quiet, composed girl.

Whys she so eager now? Im sorry to bother you so late, Harley continued.

I actually wanted to ask you something Of course! What is it? Leia responded brightly, her excitement undimmed.

I ran into Nicolas at the mall today.

Harley began, his voice cautious.

He was with a girl.

If Im not mistaken, isnt Nicolas your fiancé ? Leias breath caught.

She hadnt even processed the joy of Harleys return before his question blindsided her No, no! Thats not true! she blurted, panic lacing her tone.

Harley, Nicolas isnt my fiance.

I have nothing to do with him.

Please dont misunderstand.

Really? Harley sounded surprised.

But I thought there was an arrangement between the Sawyer and Anderson families have alliance The Anderson family and the Sawyer family do have a marriage Leia took a deep breath.

) Though she didnt want anyone to know that she wasnt Kimberlys biological daughter, in front of Harley, she was even more determined to avoid him misunderstanding the she had any engagement with anyone che Making up her mind, Leia finally spoke the truth, The one with an engagement to Nicolas is my sister, Noelle. Shes Nicolass fancer What? At the sound of this, Harleys voice suddenly sharpened.

He quickly asked, Noelle ! You have a sister named Noelle ? Yes.

Leia replied cautiously, sensing something of add in his reaction 1/3 9:28 AM c Chapter 31 I thought you were the only daughter of the Anderson family.

Where did this sister cfrom? Harley asked, confused.

Leia gripped her phone tightly, biting her lip.

Though she disliked discussing her status as Kimberlys non biological daughter, she couldnt risk Harley associating her with Nicolas Lesa tightened her grip on the phone, pressed her lips together, and said, Actually , Noelle is Kimberlys biological daughter.

We were swapped at the hospital, and when she clooking for us, thats when I found out I wasnt Kimberlys real daughter.

As she spoke, Leia tried to keep her voice low, adding an extra touch of sadness and vulnerability, hoping to win Harleys sympathy and affection.

But to her surprise, Harleys focus remained on Noelle .

He asked again, So, Noelle only becNicolass fiancée because the elders of the Anderson and Sawyer families arranged the marriage without her consent? Yes Leia admitted reluctantly.

Though his words were accurate, something about Harleys tone irked her it was almost ... gentle when he said Noelles nHow could they possibly be familiar with each other? 1 Leias un unease deepened Leias frustration bubbled up p inside her.

Harley was calling her for the first time, and yet, the entire conversation was revolving around Noelle eat to catch up Wanting to steer the conversation, she said cheerfully.

Harley, since youre back, how about we old classmates meet up! Itd be great to before school starts.

Well see.

Harley replied noncommittally, his mind still on Noelle.

When Harley learned that Noelle had been forced by family circumstances to becNicolass fiancée, bem inexplicably let but a sigh of relief And now, the was actually the daughter of the Anderson family That meant there would be plenty of opportunities to see her in the future. With that thought, Harley felt a spark of joy.

see... His response, though, was somewhat dismissive, and felt a wave of disappointment wash over her.

Unwilling to give up, she forced a smile and tried again, Actually, several students from our class got into Eston University.

Unfortunately, were in different majors, so we probably wont see each other much, but itd be great if we could hang out before school starts.

When the topic of school cup, yoth Harley seemed to have a sudden realization and asked, Since you were swapped at the hospital, Noelle must be the sage as you, right? Is she also going to Eston University! Why was he asking about that bitch Noelle again? Leia thought But in front of Harley, Leia couldnt let her emotions show. She kept up her sweet persona, smiling as she answered.

Yes, Noelles also going to Eston University.

Shes in the sdepartment asFinance.

Really? Harleys voice, previously co cold, now w carried a noticeable trace of delight.

Tm in Finance, too How coincidentall Leia couldnt hide her excitement.

Maybe well even end up in the sclass ! Maybe Harleys mind was already turning, considering ways to ensure he and Noelle would be in the sclass, even if it wasnt by chance.

Ind be perfect if we were in the sclass.

Leja eagerly agreed.

Leia, oblivious to his intentions, beamed.

If were in the sclass, thatd be amazing Harley then suggested, To celebrate that were both Finance majors , lets get together this weekend Leias heart soared.

Harley had agreed to meet her! Great die quickly responded, excited beyond words Well meet this m weekend....... But before she could NO finish, Harley added, Since were both going to Eston University, why dont you bring your sister Noelle along as well! Itd be nice for everyone to meet beforehand, Lela froze, words dying on her lips. Why does this always cback to Noelle ?
