Chapter 189

"Well…" As Noelle was about to tell Bennett all the things she was skilled at, Leia’s voice sounded from upstairs. “Bennett?”

They looked over and saw Leia’s face turning slightly green. She stood on the second floor and stared at Bennett and Noelle as if she had caught her boyfriend cheating.

Bennett is with Noelle again. And they are so close! What is he trying to do? Leia thought.

When Leia heard that Bennett had injured Noelle’s hand in the morning, she was quite happy. She felt that Bennett was avenging her. However, when she saw the two of them acting intimately, that little bit of joy instantly disappeared.

Facing Leia’s questioning gaze, Bennett showed no panic.

He did not even let go of Noelle’s hand when he asked Leia with a smile, “What’s wrong, Leia? What’s the matter?”

“L…” Leia choked at Bennett’s rhetorical question. He is asking me? Does he know?

Leia’s eyes were still fixed on Bennett. She bit her lower lip tightly, and the grievance in her heart almost overflowed from her eyes.

However, Bennett acted as if he could not see it. He even waved at Leia with a smile, “Leia, if there’s nothing else, come down and sit with us. Don’t always lock yourself in the room.”

Leia was speechless. Sit with you? Why would I sit with Noelle!

She felt nauseous whenever she saw Noelle.

Leia was clearly filled with resentment, but she could not lose her temper at Bennett. She could only force a smile and blink at Bennett. “Bennett, I have a question. Can you come up and help me?”

“Questions?” Bennett knew what Leia was thinking. He stood up and smiled at Noelle, who was sitting on the sofa. “Noelle, do you want to go up and…”

Noelle refused and said, “I am fine. I’m very smart. There’s no question I don’t know.”

She hated Leia and did not want to be with her.

Her words sounded like mockery in Leia’s ears. Is she saying I am stupid and she is smart? What a bitch!

The more Leia thought about it, the angrier she became. She shouted at Bennett again, "Bennett, come up!"

“Okay.” Bennett was amused when he saw Leia’s eyes turn red from anger.

So he patted Noelle’s head and said with a smile, “Noelle, have fun. I will come back later.”

“Okay,” Noelle agreed.

Bennett went upstairs and followed Leia into the study.

“Leia, what questions do you not know?” he asked with a smile.

Leia turned around and looked at him with a resentful gaze. “Bennett, do you like Noelle very much? You were chatting and laughing with her downstairs just now. You look so close."

“Yes, I do.” Bennett did not deny it.

“You!” Leia panicked when she heard that. She bit her lip and said, “So everything you said to me last night was…”

"I like Noelle, and I like you too. Is that not okay?" Before Leia could finish her sentence, Bennett asked with a smile. His gaze was locked on Leia. There was a sharp glint in his deep eyes as his smile deepened. “Leia, I said that you’re my favorite sister, but you shouldn’t get jealous and throw a tantrum just because I stayed with Noelle, right?

"I don’t care if you throw a tantrum at me. I understand you. But what will the rest of the family think of you when they see this? You’ve always been a kind girl in the past. Why can’t you do that now! You have forced Eli to Noelle’s side. Why don’t you understand?”

Leia had called Bennett over to complain about him. However, Bennett’s words had rendered Leia speechless.

Her eyes were red as she sobbed and said aggrievedly, “I want to be kind too, but I can’t do it. Bennett, I’m so… and when I see that you guys are on good terms with Noelle, I’m so afraid that you’ll all stand on Noelle’s side. I won’t be able to stay in the Anderson family anymore.”

“Why do you think so?” Bennett smiled gently.

He went forward and hugged Leia, saying, “No matter what others think, I will never give up on you because I understand all your actions. I know the pain in your heart. You've suffered these days.”

“Bennett…”

Bennett’s words pierced Leia’s heart. She felt that Bennett was her soulmate.

In the entire Anderson family, probably only Bennett could understand the panic and pain in her heart; even Damon couldn’t compare.

“Alright, stop crying. It breaks my heart seeing you cry." Bennett patted Leia’s back, looking like a gentle brother.

After a while, Leia calmed down.

She looked at Bennett and confirmed again. “Bennett, I’ll always be your favorite sister, right?”

“Of course,” Bennett said with a smile. “We’ve been siblings for more than ten years. This will never change.”

When Leia heard this, she smiled.

She tugged at Bennett’s sleeve again and said coquettishly to him, “Bennett, can you not be so intimate with Noelle! I feel very uncomfortable when…”

However, Bennett looked troubled. He sighed and said, “I can’t help it. I hurt Noelle’s hand. So I have to treat her better. You heard what Mom said this morning, right?”

“I see…” Leia pursed her lips and remembered what Kimberly had said in the morning.

So he is staying with Noelle because Mom asked him to. He has no choice either. With this thought in mind, Leia felt better.

She blinked at Bennett and pretended to smile innocently. “Alright, I’ll let you off this time.”

“Should I thank you for being so open-minded, my little princess?” Bennett smiled.

“Hehe, of course!” Leia was once again amused by Bennett.

She still believed Bennett’s words without a doubt. She had the thought that the entire world was her enemy and only Bennett was her ally.

There was a class at 1:30 p.m. Leia and Noelle had to return to school earlier.

However, Eli was busy with the Student Union and had returned to school last night. Bennett sent his two sisters to school.

Leia and Noelle walked to the entrance.

Seeing Bennett’s car, Leia immediately walked over and prepared to sit in the passenger seat.

When she opened the car door, Leia even turned around and gave Noelle a provocative look. She smiled and said, “Noelle, do you mind if I sit in the passenger seat?”

“Whatever. I don’t mind.” Noelle did not quite understand why Leia was so obsessed with that place.

If there was a car accident, the co-pilot seat was the most dangerous place.

Noelle preferred the back seats. They were much more comfortable.

“Heh.” Leia saw that Noelle’s reaction was ordinary, as if she did not care. She could not help but sneer in her heart. She must be so jealous, although she pretends that she isn’t.

Just…
