No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 47

Xenia ran straight toward Lucas, and he subconsciously reached out to pull her away. However, when he turned around, he noticed that Noelle stood rooted to the spot. 

He immediately realized what he had just done and shouted in fear, “Get out of the way!” 

Noelle looked at him expressionlessly with a dark gaze. 

With a sharp screech of the brakes, the car stopped by Noelle’s side. The windows were rolled down, and Cedric’s handsome face appeared. He said gently, “Get in.” 

Noelle smirked. She knew that it would be him! 

As she climbed into the car, Lucas‘ voice sounded out, saying, “Noelle, you can’t leave with him.” 

She turned to see Lucas rushing over toward them. She immediately rolled up the windows to block everything from the outside. 

Lucas chased after them for some time before stopping defeatedly. He slammed his fist on the 

road in frustration. He wondered how things had ended up 

that way. 

The realization that he had instinctively left Noelle behind just moments ago deeply unsettled 

him. 

Thinking back to Noelle’s piercing gaze, Lucas could not shake off his rising panic. He wondered what his steps were. 

Although he had instinctively chosen to protect Xenia earlier, it did not mean that he did not 

care about Noelle. Not to mention, Xenia had run over in an attempt to save him. He couldn’t possibly leave her behind. Lucas assumed that Noelle, who was as smart as she was, would‘ understand that. 

Nevertheless, he wasn’t sure, nor was he confident. 

Xenia approached him with a worried look. “Lucas, are you alright? I’m sure Noelle will be fine. After all, she didn’t come home last night either. She was also probably with that school doctor.” 

Lucas‘ expression changed. “Noelle has been led astray by that man. Sure, she used to throw tantrums, but she never stayed mad at her family like this!” 

Noelle had changed, so he had to find a way to set everything back on track. 

In the car, Noelle rolled down the window again and enjoyed the breeze from outside. She did not say a single word, and Cedric also remained silent as he drove her back to her apartment.

Noelle entered the elevator and secretly glanced at him. “Are you mad?” She noticed that his expression wasn’t quite right when she entered the car.
