But what did that get her ? Indifference ..
Things became crystal clear one day when she prepared a cup of coffee for Matilda .
She had thanked her for the effort , only to discard it into the flowerpot behind her back That night , she overheard the conversation between her parents .

It doesnt matter anymore .
I dont need your validation .
What does that mean ? I thought you guys regretted reuniting with me .
Well , youll finally be free of that feeling Noelle smiled .
Dont worry .
Ill leave .
From now on , Sandra will be your one and only daughter the one you adore and take pride in .
Noelle , do you know what youre saying ? Matildas voice rembled , unsure whether it was out of anger or shock .
Regardless , it was none of Noelles concern .
She simply smiled , saying , Of course , I do .
To be frank , you guys arent the only ones who regretted it .
I do , too .
Perhaps I shouldve just died in that village .
At least that way , I couldve indulged in the fantasy that my mom and dad loved me .
!! Matilda stayed silent , but her trembling body betrayed her emotions .
Noelle averted her gaze away from her and gazed at Craig .
Ive said what I needed to say .
Now … take care .
Goodbye .
She turned around decisively .
Stand right there ! Craig piped up at last .
He came to stand before Noelle and chided her , Youre acting crazy ! Youre the daughter of the Swansons and share the same blood as us .
Do you honestly think you can just leave like that ? So , what do you want me to do ? Sell my soul and body to you ? Noelle questioned solemnly , her gaze so determined that it felt like she would realize her words .
Words stuck in Craigs throat , and he was speechless to answer her .
I guess not .
If thats the case , goodbye , Noelle turned around again , her footsteps resolute and steadfast this time .
Meanwhile , Matilda seemed to be reprimanding her behind her back .
Whatever it was , Noelle couldnt care less .
She soon left the Swanson residence and headed to Nivis Villa .
