No longer a pushover

Noelle and Cedric Chapter 54

Chapter 54

Noelle's phone rang. She noticed that it was Frank calling. She quickly turned her phone to silent mode and ignored it.

Frank was exasperated when he saw that Noelle had refused to answer his call. He turned to look at Lucas and said, "She's not answering my calls."

"Frank, I already told you that it was only a matter of time until she went off the rails, yet you keep letting her do whatever she wants. She has laid her hands on me and Xenia this time."

Frank asked, "Didn't you slap her before as well? Things are even now."

"How can that be the same? I am her brother! Also, Xenia hasn't done anything to anger either."

Frank sighed. "I know, but Noelle isn't as easily coaxed as before. If you didn't have an umbrella, you could have just asked Aiden to send you one. Why did you demand that she give her umbrella to you?" Lucas already knew that Noelle had a bone to pick with them, so why did he insist on making Noelle surrender to his requests? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

Lucas retorted, "I just wanted to save us some time. Also, how is she supposed to use such a big umbrella alone? If she didn't want to share, so be it. But why did she have to hit us?"

The more Lucas thought about it, the angrier he became. "This won't do. I'll send her a message to talk things out.
