No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 851

Noelle could feel the air around her and Cedric increasingly charging with tension.

Though Cedric usually treated her well and was always considerate and chivalrous, he'd never crossed any boundaries.

The only slightly intimate experience they'd shared was before she found out he was the heir to the Greene family. Back then, they'd briefly dated for a few days.

Since then, things between them had been more than just friends but not quite lovers. Cedric had always kept a respectful distance that never made her uncomfortable.

That was until she made a move on him once. Ever since that day, he'd gone wild and constantly preyed on her.

Noelle's mind flooded with embarrassingly vivid images, so she quickly stepped back to increase the distance between them. Then, she paused and said, "Actually, I don't really want to know."

Cedric saw her blushing and backing away. His eyes sparkled with amusement as he said, "Get in the car, and I'll tell you. Don't you want to let off some steam?"

Of course, she did. Noelle opened the car door and got in without hesitation. "Alright, talk. What's your plan?"

Instead of answering her question, he spun the car around and sped toward the Cantrell residence.

Noelle tensed. "Cedric, what are you doing?"

"Getting justice for you and telling the Cantrell family that I have your back."

"Are you insane? Stop the car right now!"

She hadn't expected him to go full-dramatic mode out of nowhere. Thankfully, the car screeched to a stop just in time.

Still rattled, she glared at him and muttered, "How did I not realize you were this…" She couldn't even think of the right word.

Cedric reached over to gently tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Are you worried about me?"

"I'm worried about myself. What if you drove through their gate and we died in a crash? I haven't dated yet!"

As soon as she said that, Cedric gently pinched her ear. "You've never dated?"

His eyes were dark, and Noelle immediately thought about the brief days when they'd been officially together.
