No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 

Noelle’s question made it seem like she was assuming that Cedric had feelings for her. With her phone in hand, she thought back to the person she’d been dating online in her previous life. To be more precise, it was more of a crush since neither of them had ever confessed to each other. However, his presence back then had been like a kindle of fire amidst her miserable life, keeping her warm. 

That was the same feeling Cedric was giving her. But she still couldn’t be sure if they were the 

same person. 

Cedric’s finger twitched. “I don’t need a reason to help someone in need, do I? Even if it had been an old lady crossing the road, I would’ve given her a hand.” 

Noelle smiled, suppressing a twinge of disappointment. Feigning nonchalance, she said, “I’m leaving the Liddells for good once the college entrance exams are over. You’re welcome to be my neighbor!” 

She was in a good mood as she hung up and showered. Before heading to bed, she even 

managed to complete a set of practice papers. After all, the final mock exams were just around 

the corner. 

She was eager to see how much she’d improved and whether she had a chance at getting into Yole University. Her chances were good as long as she could make it into the top ten in her 

school. 

The next day, Noelle proceeded to go to school as usual. She watched Xenia bring a bowl of soup over to Frank. “Frank, Gordon told me that your stomach’s been bothering you, so I made this soup for you. It should help.” 

Xenia deliberately revealed the burn marks on her hand. As expected, Frank’s expression softened when he saw her injuries. “You’re hurt. Let the maids handle this next time.” 

“You’ve done so much for this family, Frank. This is the least I could do.” 

Xenia flashed him a sweet, innocent smile.
