Chapter 150

When night fell, Nicolas sent Noelle back to the Anderson family's place. As they were about to get out of the car, Noelle’s face was red, with an abnormal blush. Her eyes were blurry, and she was swaying.

“Rabe, you can still walk, right?” With that, Nicolas caressed the girl’s face. His slightly rough fingers gently caressed her delicate eyebrows, her high nose bridge, and then her bright red lips. There was a smile in his eyes, and his tone was extremely gentle and charming.

Noelle’s eyes flickered as she looked up at Nicolas’s face. Then, she could not help but think of all the things that had happened in the car previously. Although they didn’t actually have sex, Nicolas said that they had done every step that a couple would undergo. Moreover, Noelle clearly felt different from before.

Nick had just lowered his head and was still with her. Just thinking about what Nicolas did with his head lowered made Noelle blush harder. Her face was now as red as an apple, and she felt hot as well. Her body also became hot.

“Why is your face even redder?” Nicolas noticed the change in Noelle’s expression and smiled lightly. There was a hint of teasing in his extremely charming and sexy voice as he asked, “Baddie, what are you thinking about? Hmm?”

Looking at Nicolas’s handsome face and gentle smile, Noelle could not help but chuckle. She suddenly leaned forward, reached out to hug Nicolas’s neck, kissed his cheek gently, and said sweetly, “Nick, I like you! I really do."

“Really?” Nicolas smiled and teased, “Am I your favorite person now?”

Noelle was slightly stunned and wondered, "Is he my favorite? Previously, I felt that I liked Nick the most because I had never fallen in love with someone so much. I was all about him. However, Brand said that from now on, my favorite could only be him. Therefore, the one I like the most can’t be Nick then!"

Sensing Noelle’s hesitation, Nicolas could not help but call out to her in a low voice, “Elly babe?”

Noelle suddenly came back to her senses. Then, she let go of Nicolas’s neck and blinked at him. Her gaze was a little distant as she said, “Nick, I should go home now.”

With that, she immediately turned around and jumped out of the car. When she reached the door, Noelle turned around and waved at him as usual. She smiled and said, “Goodbye, Nick!”

Nicolas also smiled and waved at the girl. Then, he watched her walk through the door. After Noelle’s figure completely disappeared, Nicolas slowly looked back. The smile on his face was gone, and there was a hint of melancholy and contemplation in his eyes.

What he said about being her favorite just now was just to tease Noelle. They had talked about the same topic before. At that time, Noelle could say without hesitation that he was her favorite person. That wasn't true this time. Noelle hesitated and avoided the topic.

Nicolas leaned his head against the edge of the car window. His gaze turned and landed in the direction where Noelle’s figure disappeared. He thought desolately, "Could it be that I am no longer Elly babe’s favorite? So who’s her favorite now?"

Noelle walked through the door of the Anderson family’s place. Coincidentally, she bumped into Leia, who was going downstairs to get some water. Because Noelle came back late, there was no one else in the hall. The two girls looked at each other, and an invisible electric spark seemed to flash in the silent space.

Leia thought, "If the Anderson family doesn’t have a place for me, then I might as well get a man who can shelter me, and Nicolas will be a perfect fit." When they met today, he was quite solicitous. He was even willing to fight for resources for her. They’ve only met for the first time, but he already offered that. In the future, I’ll get him to get me whatever I want.

In comparison, Noelle is just a nobody. She merely took my place for a moment. I said no to Nicolas, and that’s why he’d treat Noelle well. If I relent and agree to be with Nicolas, he won’t give a damn about Noelle anymore!

With this thought in mind, when Leia looked at Noelle again, she naturally felt superior and proud. She walked down the stairs and walked toward Noelle. With a smile, she said, “Noelle, why are you back so late? Where did you go again?”

Noelle didn’t like Leia anymore. She still hated the way Leia and Nick got along, although Nick had already explained to her that his contact with Leia was to provoke her and also incite her to sever ties with the Anderson family.

Noelle thought for a moment, "So this is probably what jealousy and possessiveness feel like. I don’t appreciate any woman who tries to get close to Nick. Nick is mine. I want to kill anyone who approaches Nick!"

Still, she knew that now was not the time to kill Leia. Therefore, Noelle simply pretended that the other party did not exist. She walked past Leia and was about to leave without intending to even talk to her.

When Leia saw Noelle leave so directly without even looking at her, as if she didn’t exist, she immediately felt humiliated and thought, "Who the hell does she think she is? I’m talking to her. How dare she ignore me?"

Seeing that Noelle was about to go upstairs, Leia was furious. She quickly turned around and proudly announced to Noelle, “Noelle, I saw Nicolas today. Moreover, I spent the afternoon with him.”

Noelle snorted in her heart, "Why would I need you to tell me that? I know where you went, and I heard everything you said to him."

Noelle ignored Leia and continued to walk up. Seeing that Noelle remained indifferent, Leia was even angrier. Then, she braced herself to say even more shocking words, “I saw that you avoided Nicolas when you saw him. Are you tired of him and don’t want him anymore?”

Noelle paused in her tracks. Then, she suddenly turned around and looked at Leia, her expression frozen. Seeing this, Leia felt that her chances of crushing Noelle were quite high now, so she tried even harder to provoke her.

Leia smirked smugly, “Actually, I suddenly feel that Nicolas is quite nice. If you don’t want to be with him, why not give him back to me? Nicolas was mine from the beginning. If I hadn’t rejected him repeatedly, you wouldn’t have gotten to be with him.”

Noelle’s face darkened even more. She warned sharply, “Leia, don’t even think about having any designs on Nick!”

Leia retorted, “What do you mean by having designs on him? That’s not true!”

It was rare for Leia to see Noelle get agitated, so how could she let go of the opportunity to suppress her! Leia crossed her arms and sneered, “Nicolas should have been my fiancé. Previously, it was me who didn’t want him, which gave you a chance to snoop in. Now that I want to get back together with him, do you think you can take him from me? I’m afraid you don’t know that Nicolas was quite attentive to me when he saw me today.”

Leia had just finished speaking proudly when Noelle suddenly approached her before she could react.
