No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 570

Mia suddenly spoke up. "Can I join you for lunch?"

Noelle had no objections to that. She glanced at Grace, and then the two of them nodded in agreement.

Mia let out a breath of relief. She grabbed her walking stick and headed downstairs with them.

Noelle turned to Grace and said, "How about the cafeteria? It's closer."

The main concern was that Mia had trouble walking. They were worried that Mia would feel uncomfortable if they went too far. And thus, the three of them went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Grace glanced toward the school gate and said, "The car is still there."

Noelle followed after her line of sight and also recognized Cedric's car instantly. She did not expect him to still be waiting outside the university.

She took out her phone and saw several messages from Cedric, asking if she had already woken up and inviting her to L Bistro for lunch.

After going through the messages, she replied, "I'm awake now. I still have classes today, so I can't make it."

Her phone started ringing moments right after she sent her reply. Grace spoke up. "You should pick up the call and explain what happened."

Noelle stepped aside in the hallway to answer the call. A deep, hoarse voice came from the other end.

"Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? L Bistro's soup works really well at treating hangovers. I'll bring some to you later."

"You don't need to do that. I'm okay now," Noelle's voice sounded somewhat distant.

Cedric rubbed his temples and said, "Noelle, something happened last night, so I couldn't reply to your messages in time. I'll make sure to let you know in advance from now on."

Still standing in the hallway, Noelle looked at the car parked outside of the university's gates. Her eyes were slightly teary. "I understand. I'm just a little busy lately. Let's talk after things settle down."

Noelle still had no idea how to face Cedric just yet. She felt that she needed a few more days to clear her mind. But the truth was that she was just avoiding him.
