No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1047

Cedric walked straight over. "Why couldn't you have asked me?"

Hearing the voice behind her, Noelle turned around and saw Cedric approach. There was a dark, unreadable look in his eyes.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Magnus sensed the tension and quickly excused himself. "I'm going to the restroom."

This clearly wasn't the time for him to play the third wheel.

Noelle looked up at Cedric, who was approaching, and repeated her question, "Why did you retire back then?"

"So, you've learned who I am?" Cedric could tell from her question that she'd figured out he used to be part of Team Celestial.

She nodded. "Yeah. I found out just recently that you're King whom everyone used to talk about. Your signature 12-hit combo was…"

She abruptly paused mid-sentence upon realizing she almost said too much. After all, this wasn't her past life.

Cedric pressed, "What about my 12-hit combo?"

Noelle hesitated and calmly replied, "Nothing. Just that it's really difficult to master."

Even with him teaching her back then, it'd taken her a long time to learn it, and he'd complained about her clumsiness more than once.

But in the end, he'd never given up on her.

As Noelle recalled everything he'd done for her in her past life, waves of complicated emotions surged in her chest.

Deep down, she sighed. Humans truly were strange creatures, constantly changing with each passing moment.

Just a while ago, she'd still been resenting him.

Cedric locked his stare on her and asked, "Why did you sigh?"

"I was just remembering how tough it was to learn the 12-hit combo. Can't I sigh about that?"

She met his gaze and added, "Michael told me you retired because of a car accident. Is that true?"
