No longer a pushover

Chapter 203

Noelle felt Cedric treated her differently from others. She had once misunderstood that he might like her, too, since he was always so kind. In the end, she realized it was just her overthinking.

Cedric felt like something was stuck in his throat. After a long pause, he finally said, "It's not impossible."

Noelle's heart skipped a beat. What did he mean by that?

Cedric continued, "Since you've cut ties with your brother, you can think of me as your family from now on."

"I don't need another brother," Noelle replied, standing up. "I'm full. I'll go pack my things."

She left with a hint of disappointment.

Cedric watched Noelle's back with a complicated look in his eyes. Alfred walked in and asked, "Done talking? Are you ready to let go this time?"

Cedric remained silent. He tipped back his glass of red wine, finishing it in one go. Noelle's feelings were clear to him, but he felt he wasn't deserving.

The next day, Noelle went straight to the airport. She turned to look at Cedric, then walked up and hugged him. "I'm leaving. Thank you for being here for me. I will never forget you."

Cedric stiffened for a moment before patting her back. "Contact me if you need anything. I'll always be here."
