No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1133

Noelle suddenly grew nervous. She remembered that Cedric's grandmother was seriously ill and had gone abroad for treatment. There had been no news about her since.

Cedric held her hand and gave her a reassuring look. "I understand. We'll head out now. Please rest well."

"Alright, go on. I'll be fine on my own. No need to worry about me. Go out on more dates and have fun." Emma was happy with how things had turned out.

She used to worry that Noelle and Cedric wouldn't end up together. But she never expected the situation to take such a dramatic turn or knew that the accident years ago involved a bigger scheme.

Now that the lawsuit was over and Ruth had paid the price, Noelle and Cedric could finally put aside their past and be together.

It was wonderful.

…

Noelle and Cedric left the hospital together. Now that Emma's situation was resolved, Noelle could finally relax.

Cedric and Noelle were walking with their hand entwined when Noelle turned to him. "Aren't you going back to the office this afternoon?"

Cedric hummed. "Yes. But let's have lunch first."

Noelle didn't refuse, and the two headed to the nearest restaurant, L Bistro.

Once they entered a private room, Noelle said, "I haven't done it in so long, I don't even know if I still..."

Before she could finish, Cedric pressed her against the door and kissed her. Noelle was pinned down and couldn't move an inch.

One of Cedric's hands gripped her waist while the other cradled the back of her head. His kiss was forceful and filled with urgency.

Noelle missed him, too. She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around his neck, and returned the kiss.

Cedric's breathing grew heavier when Noelle returned the kiss. He picked her up and set her down on the table.

Cedric sat in a chair and pulled her into his lap. "No one would disturb us if we were in a hotel. What were you thinking?"

Noelle fell silent.

Cedric chuckled and held her tighter. "Do you understand how much I miss you now?"

Noelle's cheeks burned even hotter.

He added, "I love you. I want to be closer to you and be stuck to you all the time."

Noelle blushed and whispered, "Someone's going to come in any second."

Cedric hummed. "They won't. At the very least, they'll knock first."

A knock suddenly sounded. Noelle immediately leaped off his lap and sat on a chair, putting some distance between them while Cedric sighed at the loss of her warmth before yelling for the waiter to enter.
