No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 859

When Noelle looked down and saw the boxers, her face flushed as if it had been burned. This was so embarrassing!

She quickly pulled her foot back and dashed into the walk-in wardrobe. When she caught a glimpse of her red face in the mirror with slightly misty eyes and flushed lips, her whole body felt like it was burning up.

Just now, she'd stepped on those boxers. She might as well die from shame.

Outside, Cedric glanced at the doors of the walk-in wardrobe and bent down to pick up the pajamas. But when he picked up the boxers, his lips curved faintly into a smile.

He stood outside the wardrobe and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

Still hiding inside, Noelle froze. For some reason, an improper thought crossed her mind. People always said they were going to shower first before having sex, right?

W-What was he planning?

When she finally stepped out, she could hear the water running in the bathroom.

She sat on the edge of the bed while her face was still red hot. Then, she began thinking about how she would turn him down if he tried something.

But she waited for some time, and Cedric still hadn't come out.

That was strange. He usually showered fast. In fact, he used to tease her about how slow she was, like a snail.

After waiting a bit more, she started to lose patience. What if he passed out in the shower or something?

She walked over to the bathroom door and knocked. "Cedric, what's taking you so long?"

The sound of running water didn't stop.

Inside, Cedric learned against the wall with one hand as his eyes caught the silhouette outside the glass. His breathing instantly got heavier.

"Cedric?"

"Give me a minute."

Noelle heard his reply, but something about his voice sounded off.

"But Mia's here."

"You think she doesn't already know?" Cedric glanced at the bed, saying, "Don't worry. I won't touch you since there's someone else in the house."

Noelle met his eyes and felt like he could completely read her mind. Then, she turned and fled to the bathroom.

Cedric sure was getting worse.

While brushing her teeth, she caught a whiff of something strange. There was a strong musky smell.

The moment she realized what it was, she figured out why Cedric had taken so long in the bathroom.

Her face, which had just started to cool down with great difficulty, turned instantly red again.

She bit her lip. That was seriously too much.
