her , heading downstairs without In the morning , she waited by the door , hoping to greet him as he came out .

But when he did , he walked right past he even acknowledging her presence At breakfast , things got worse .

Eli usually sat next to her , but today he chose the seat beside Leia , chatting and laughing with her instead .

Leia , you should eat more .

The shumai is really good today , he said , placing a couple on Leias plate Thank you .

Eli , Leia replied sweetly .

Dont mention it , Eli said , smiling .

School starts in two days .

If you run into any problems on campus , just come to me , okay ? Got it .

Leia said with a smile .

Hearing this , Noelle chimed in brightly .

Eli , which department are you in ! I can come find you too ! But Eli barely spared her a glance before turning back to Leia .

It was as if he hadnt even heard her .

He casually picked up a slice of cake and placed it on Leias plate .

Leia , have some whole grains theyre good for you Okay , Ill listen to you , Leia said , her tone syrupy sweet .

Noelle pouted , her lips forming a dramatic arch .

Noelle thought , Great .

J Just great .

She thought theyd finally made progress in building a bond .

Now , it felt like all her efforts had been wiped clean , putting them right back at square Kimberly , who had been observing the exchange , set down her utensils and asked Eli directly .

Eli , whats going on ? Did you have a fight with Noelle ? Ells expression remained neutral as he replied , Nothing like that , Mom .

Dont worry about it .

Kimberly sighed .

Theres no such thing as an irreconcilable grudge between siblings .

If theres a problem , talk it out , okay ? Dont keep things bottled up Eli chuckled faintly , his tone light but sharp .

Mom , Im not holding any grudges .

I get along just fine with Leia , dont I ? You Kimberly said , exasperated .

Turning to Noelle , she added with a ge agende smile .
