No longer a pushover

Chapter 396

Magnus had mentioned having something important to tell Noelle, but she had completely forgotten about it after everything that happened last night.

Now she felt conflicted and wondered what Magnus had wanted to say.

She noticed he called her. There was a call duration, which meant Cedric had picked up.

Noelle texted Cedric. "Do you think Magnus has a girlfriend?"

Cedric felt a sudden sense of unease when he saw her question. He frowned and replied, "As far as I know, no. Why are you asking?"

"Does he like someone then?"

Cedric immediately sat up straight when he read that text. He called her, and she picked up almost instantly. "Hello?"

Noelle was surprised he had called. Could something have happened to Magnus?

After a long pause, Cedric asked, "Why are you asking many questions about Magnus' love life?" His tone was low and tense, and he was clenching his jaw.

Noelle hesitated and replied, "It's nothing. I'm just curious."

She figured she might've been overthinking it. Magnus' important matter could very well be entirely something else.
