Chapter 6
Chapter 6 Eli was seething with rage .
He never thought that Nicolas , the notorious playboy , would be messing around with some other woman on the very day he was supposed to meet his fiancee .
And to make matters worse , his fiancée had caught them in the act The tension in the study was so thick one could cut it with a knife .
Dad , just call off the damn engagement ! Eli snapped , dragging Noelle along as he confronted Vincent .
His voice was boiling with anger .
That guy clearly doesnt give a shit about her .
He promised to meet Noelle , but instead , hes out there screwing around with other women Vincents face darkened instantly .
Nicolas had just slapped the Anderson family in the face with his actions .
But the marriage between the Andersons and the Sawyers wasnt just about love it was a strategic alliance , a way for both families to secure mutual benefits Despite the blow to their pride , Vincent wasnt ready to throw everything away over a line affair .
After a pause , he spoke slowly , his tone firm .
In these high society marriages , how many couples are actually in love ? As long as the Sawyers recognize Noelle as the third young lady of their family , no matter what Nicolas does , it wont change her position .
Dad Eli was boiling with frustration Vincent turned to Noelle , his tone firm .
Noelle , youre an Anderson .
When it comes to marriage , you cant just think with your heart .
You need to look at the bigger picture .
Eli couldnt hold back any y longer .
His voice cracked with anger .
Then why did you drag your feet when Leia didnt want to marry in the first place ? Eli ! Vincent slammed his hand on the desk , his voice deep and commanding .
Leia is Leia , and Noelle is Noelle .
You cant compare them ! Do you know how much it would hurt Leia to hear you say than ? .
Eli was taken aback , his words faltering .
He knew deep down he couldnt compare Noelle to Leia .
Leia had been in their precious little princess , spoiled and loved for years .
Noelle , on the other hand , was a stranger who had just returned to the family But even so , Eli couldnt help feeling this decision was wrong for Noelle .
Making her marry that sleazebag was practically a death sentence for her .
Noelle , what about you ? Vincent shot at her , his anger clear .
If you dont care about the familys honor , then Ill just pretend I dont have a daughter ! Dad , are you serious ? Eli fired back , clearly upset .
Im good with that , Noelle replied , unfazed by her fathers rage .
She tilted her head and gave him a mischievous smile .
I actually really like Nicolas .
Im cool with marrying him .
What ?! Eli almost jumped out of his chair .
His eyes were wide with disbelief .
Are you nuts ! You want to marry him ? Yep , Noelle said with a grin .
Hes hot .
Im into him .
So what if hes hot ? The dudes a total mess ! Eli growled , barely holding back from losing his temper .
This girl shes all about the looks , huh ? he thought , rolling his eyes , So what if hes a mess ? deal .
Who cares ? Noelle shrugged , looking totally unbothered .
He can mess around with girls , and I can mess around with guys .
Its no big was completely blindsided .
His mind was reeling .
Holy , shit .
She is on a whole different level of open minded : Since Noelle had no objections to marrying Nicolas , the whole idea of calling off the engagement was quickly dropped .
But Elis confrontation with Vincent , on behalf of Noelle didnt stay quiet for long it spread like wildfire within the Anderson family , 173 9:23 AM ₫ Chapter One by o brothers jumped i of mockery .
