Chapter 69

Chapter 69 sportswear , Hmm ? Hearing a voice , Noelle tilted her head curiously , peering past Damons shoulder toward the doorway .

Eli , dressed in casual spoi emerged from inside .

Her face lit up with a radiant smile , and she waved at him cheerfully .

Eli , good morning ! What are you doing back here ? Its the weekend , so I came home , Eli explained , though his gaze remained locked on Damon and Noelle , his face filled with disbelief .

You two … Just two days ago , Damon had declared over the phone that hed rather kill Noelle than deal with her .

Eli had assumed the two would be at each others throats for the foreseeable future .

Yet here they were , acting like … siblings ! Damon , realizing how close he and Noelle appeared at that moment , immediately flushed .

His expression darkened as he abruptly shoved Noelle olf of him Noelle , what are you , a monkey ! Get off me already ! Ow , Damon ! Caught off guard , Noelle stumbled as she was pushed aside .

Puffing up her cheeks in protest , she complained , You nearly pulled my arm off ! Cant you be a little gentler ? No , I cant Flustered by Elis scrutinizing look , Damons temper flared further as he turned to defend himself .

Dont get the wrong idea , Eli .

I dont have any kind of relationship with her .

Shes just shamelessly clinging to me ? Noelles face fell at Damons words .

She sidled up to him , her gaze full of mock hurt .

Damon , how could you say that about me ? Dont I have any dignity ? You ? Dignity ! Dont make me laugh .

I cant believe how mean you are ! You think I care ? Eli silently observed the bickering pair , utterly bewildered .

Their dynamic was … peculiar , to say the least .

Taking a deep breath .

Eli tried to mediate .

Damon , Noelle is still a young girl .

Cant you talk to her with a bit more kindness ? And why should I ? Did you forget what I said about her before ? Damon shot back , his irritation evident .

Damon , you … .

! I dont want to hear it , Damon interrupted before storming past Eli and heading upstairs .

Eli watched him leave , sighing in exasperation.
