Chapter 158 Chapter 158 Noelle smiled brightly at him .

Because were siblings ! Of course , I want my older brother to like me ! Labs had assigned her .

Her answer seemed simple enough , but the real reason was far more complicated .

ted.

It was all part was all part of the mission the labs ha Her objective in returning to the Anderson family was to get everyone to like her .

Eli was already warming up to her , and Darmon had stopped his unfair favoritism toward Leia Now it was Charbhes run .

Noelle needed him to bond with her just as Damon and Eli had or else the mission wouldnt be complete Charlie looked at her her smile as bright as the sim .

You might have some misconceptions .

But the truth is , not all siblings get along like they do in fairy tales .

Especially in rich families .

Theres always some kind of power struggle going on .

Siblings might seem all cozy on the outside , but behind closed doors , theyre plotting against each other .

Im not like those people , though , I wont turn against my siblings .

But Im also not going to be like Damon and Eli , fighting tooth and nail to protect you or Leia .

The only thing I can promise you is that Ill do my duty as an older brother .

But if you expect anything more than that , or want me to break my principles for you , thats not happening . Understand ** Charlie wasnt one to share his thoughts freely , so hearing him speak so much was rare .
