No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 673

Noelle stared at Cedric's strikingly handsome face and recalled Ruth's words. The latter had mentioned that Cedric was still hiding something from her.

Noelle didn't want to doubt him, but she couldn't control the unease creeping into her heart.

Cedric's voice was hoarse as he muttered, "What are you referring to?"

"I've always had a question—why did you hide your identity to work as a school doctor? Was there a special reason?" Noelle calmly asked as she looked straight into his eyes.

Cedric's heart burned with alarm at hearing her question. The truth lingered on the tip of his tongue, but fear sealed his lips shut. He'd finally managed to mend things with her, and he couldn't bear the thought of losing her again.

Now, thanks to Noelle, he discovered the driver from the car accident might still be alive. That meant the accident wasn't as simple as it seemed. There might be other dangers hidden behind the truth.

Cedric's plan was to investigate the truth and confess everything at once. If the accident had been orchestrated and the Liddell family's driver had arranged it, Noelle might perhaps hate him a little less if she found out.

His lips pressed into a thin line, and he said, "Yes. There was a reason."

Noelle withdrew her hand.

Cedric's heart clenched almost instantly. "Some things… I can't tell you yet. I—"

"Fine. I won't ask then." Noelle's voice was calm, but her eyes looked different now. They were distant and almost unfamiliar.

Cedric panicked. "Noelle, I—"

"I understand. Everyone has their reasons and secrets they can't share. Mrs. Greene Senior is seriously ill, and we shouldn't do anything to upset her."

She pushed his hand away and continued, "I have things more important than love to deal with, and so do you, so…"

"There's no 'so.' I don't want to hear that. I'll talk to Grandma. She doesn't dislike you."

Anastasia was just worried Noelle would get hurt.
