It felt more like a fatherly kind of care .
Thinking of Noelles clueless expression , Bryan couldnt help but laugh .
Is that funny to you ? Nicolas asked , his voice deceptively calm .
Bryan swallowed hard , a nervous smile plastered on his face .
Uh … no , sir .
Not funny at all Drive , Nicolas ordered , his tone cold enough to send shivers down Bryans spine .
As the car pulled away , Nicolas rolled down the window , letting the cool night air brush against his face .

But what choice did he have ? She was sweet , naive , and utterly oblivious to the complexities of relationships .
And then there was the Anderson family .
Leia was a conniving snake , and the familys loyalty still leaned toward her.
If Nicolas didnt guide Noelle .
shed be eaten alive in that house .
Fatherly or not .
Nicolas knew he couldnt let that happen i and a faux innocent Leia .
Meanwhile , back at the Anderson estate , Noelle was greeted by a stormy faced Eli a Noelle , Eli snapped , his tone sharp and accusing you still remember where home is , huh ? Oh , this again … Noelle muttered under her breath , already sensing where this was going .
Leia stepped forward , her expression the picture of contrition .
Tm so sorry , Noelle .
I didnt mean to tattle , but I just couldnt stand by while you stayed out so late with Nicolas .
Its really not proper Whats improper about it ? Noelle replied flatly .
Nicks my fiance .
Isnt it normal for me to spend time with him ? And Leia , if you didnt mean to tattle , then why did you ? Le blinked , her face falling into a well practiced look of hurt .
Are you blaming me ? she asked softly , as if she were the victim .
Yeah Noelle said simply .
Just dont do it : again .
Alright … Elis scowl deepened .
Noelle Leia was just worried about you .
And this is how you talk to her ? I dont get what the big deal is , Noelle retorted .
Nicks not some monster whos going to eat me Youll regret it when something bad happens ! Eli barked , his voice rising- Elis voice grew sharper as he said , I heard from Leia that Nicolas was at Star Club today .
Didnt you say he wouldnt flirt around ? Then why was he there ! Do you still dare say hes not messing around ? Thes not inessing around Noelle pouted Star Club was Nicolass lasiness , and he was there for a routine inspection .
Shed wanted to go to the adult section , but Nick had dragged her away .
There was nothing like what Eli was imagining .
But since Nicolas had kept his role as the owner of Star Club a secret , Noelle couldnt explain it to Eli .
Youre will making excuse for it I think youve been brainwashed Star Clubes adult section was well known , and although there was a clean area , Nicolas going to Star Club didnt scream going to the clean zone .
It clearly looked like he was up to no good .
so annoying Frustrated that she couldnt explain , Noelle felt like her head was about to explode .
2/3 Chapter 38 She snapped , Dad doesnt care about me being with Nick , so why do you keep pestering me about it , El ? Youre so nagging , its driving me crazy What did you say Eli froze , as if struck by something .
Leia , seeing her chance , immediately stepped in with a feigned sigh .
Noelle , how can you speak to Eli like that ? Of all the people in the Anderson family .
Eli cares the most about you .
He doesnt want you getting close to Nicolas because hes worried about you .
But now youre turning on Eli for an outsider ? Thats too much .
Tm not turning on Eli Noelle was starting to get confused .
Eli was just being so annoying , always following her around and arguing .
Shed only spoken the truth .
Fine , I get it .
Im the one whos clueless Eli sneered , his eyes filled with a mix of hurt and self mockery .
From now on , you can be with whoever you want .
I wont interfere .
I wont care anymore .
With that .
Eli stormed upstairs without looking back .
Eli Noelle called after him , but he ignored her .
Once he was out of sight , Leia walked up to Noelle , acting all sympathetic .
Noelle … you really hurt Elis feelings .
Youd better be more careful in the future Noelle stared at Leia , speechless .
In her mind , Noelle thought , If it wasnt for you snitching , would Eli even know about me and Nick ? And now youre saying all this ? Leia , youre so annoying
