No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 855

Cedric and Noelle continued staying shamelessly at the Cantrell residence.

Bold as ever, Cedric even had the Cantrells serve them fruit and snacks.

To be honest, Noelle couldn't have pulled off such calmness on her own. If it weren't for Cedric by her side, she definitely wouldn't have been this composed.

It wasn't until almost evening that Mia finally came downstairs.

The moment Noelle saw her, her eyes turned red, and she rushed over. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Mia nodded her head, but her eyes reddened too.

Though she'd been pretending to be calm, her defenses crumbled the moment she saw her best friend, and all the pent-up emotions came flooding out.

Noelle hugged her tightly. "It's okay now. I'll take you away."

Mia froze. She glanced at Cedric sitting on the couch and figured Noelle had probably managed to come here thanks to him.

Unfortunately, not everything was under her control. She hadn't managed to secure what her dad had left her.

Just then, Donovan walked over. "Mia, just say the word if you need anything from me. I'll take care of you for the rest of my life."

Once she saw him, she immediately hid behind Noelle, and her expression darkened. "I don't need anything from you. Go away."

She used to think Donovan was a gentleman, not like the other blind dates who leered at her and tried to get handsy. Now, she realized even if he wasn't sleazy, he was still despicable.

Donovan softened his tone and said, "I know you're mad now, but I swear I'll take good care of you in the future."

Noelle stepped forward to shove him away. "Mia doesn't need you taking care of her or anything. Do you think she's crippled or something?"

Caught off guard, he stumbled back two steps. His tone soured once he saw Noelle. "She's your sister-in-law. Now, take care of her."
