No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 840

Soon, the food was served. Noelle looked at the dishes with surprise. "Are these L Bistro's new menu items?"

"Yes. Try them," Cedric said.

Noelle was caught off guard. She tried a few bites. "They're delicious. Very authentic, too."

But she remembered that L Bistro's head chef wasn't from Aldoria. And L Bistro was known to have good homemade Yole food. That left only one possibility. Cedric had arranged this.

Staring at the dishes in front of her, Noelle felt her chest tighten. No one had ever treated her this well except for Cedric. Feeling her emotions welling up, she quickly put down her spoon.

"I'm going to the restroom."

"What's wrong?" Cedric noticed the tears in her eyes and grabbed her wrist. "Is the food not to your taste?"

Noelle shook her head, still looking down.

"Look at me." Cedric bent down to try to catch her gaze, but Noelle refused to lift her head.

He sounded helpless. "Noelle, what's wrong? Can't you just tell me?"

Had he known this setup would make her cry, he wouldn't have prepared this. But he still didn't understand why she was crying.

When Noelle finally looked up, her eyes were brimming with tears. Cedric's heart ached at the sight. He bent down and gently wiped her tears. "What is it?"

Noelle didn't respond. Instead, she leaned in and kissed him. Cedric froze, not quite understanding what she meant by this.

He instinctively tried to pull back to say something, but Noelle didn't give him a chance. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and wouldn't let go. With a determined push, she made him sit back in the chair and then straddled his lap.
