Despite her exhaustion , Leia forced herself to get up .

Even though shed stayed up until 5 am with Eli , skipping breakfast or sleeping in was unacceptable in the Anderson family .

Being the perfect daughter , Leja couldnt afford to tarnish her image .

She couldnt spread the news about Noelle sneaking out , but if the family saw her up early while Noelle was still in bed , it would make her look better in their eyes .

Leia nodded slightly Yeah , a little .

Kimberly approached her immediately , supporting her .

Leia forced a smile , glancing quickly at Eli .

With him present , she didnt dare reveal the real reason .

At that moment , Damon scoffed , his tone dripping with disdain .

After a moment , Eli sighed and stood up .

Just as Eli was about to leave , Damon seerrid , Wow , Eli , you sure have a soft spot for that wild girl .

After some hesitation , she smiled at Noelle and said , Noelle , why dont you sit Mom Damon exclaimed , clearly startled .

His gaze darted toward Lela for her reaction .

Leias grip on her fork tightened , her knuckles turning white , but she managed a soft , reassuring smile .
